  • Kamala Harris Launches Presidential Bid: ‘My Intention Is to Earn and Win This Nomination’

    Jump

  • Voted for Marianne Williamson who had already withdrawn because A) she was the only other choice on the ballot and B) She is actually great in interviews. Dont agree with some of her conclusions but you can tell she is studied on political theory..

    Dont think that really counts. The primary was yet another illusion of choice by the DNC who has proven they will make backdoor moves to nominate whoever they want since the days of Debbie Wasserman shultz and hillary

  • Republicans wear ear bandages in 'solidarity' with Trump

  • I think after the bandage comes off you're going to see accidental su*cides from people trying to copycat themselves

  • "Star Trek is woke now"

  • Yeah DS9 was good, but it took me a long time to get past the fact that they made the Federation freaking space NATO. Martial law, biological weapons on your own citizens, papers please, most with the subtext (or lengthy deleted personal log) that morality is for peace time, and some of your favorite values should be abandoned when the stakes are high.

    I think ENT is the most conservative tbh. Who else would go that far to get revenge for Florida?

  • Hiker finds pipe feeding China's tallest waterfall

    Jump

  • Its not like there's a garden hose at the other end lol. That would be more of a scandal but for real I was just at one last weekend and when I hiked to the top there was a road and a gutter system.

  • Hiker finds pipe feeding China's tallest waterfall

    Jump

  • Ive seen the same thing at waterfalls in state parks. Its probably super common around the world by now.

    Edit: Logging back in to Lemmy like Dang thats a lot of mad neoliberals confusing an inconvenient fact for defense of the CCP.

  • Democracy is not some Ward or Charm Against Authoritarian Rule

    Jump

  • Well authoritarian can also describe systems of organization and I feel its apt here. The owner at the top dictates decisions. They hold all of the power in the relationship between owner and worker. Contrast it with a worker co-op being a socialist system where each employee has a stake in the company. The author is an anarchist historian and there was a time in recent history where politics and workplaces were intertwined at the height of Union power. The separation of politics in the workplace is relatively new.

  • ‘Swamp Creature!’: Trump Gets Shouted Down as He Begs for Libertarian Nomination

    Jump

  • We can thank Murray rothbard and Milton Friedman for that gem. Rothbard openly coopted anarchism in Anatomy of the state and mixed it with Austrian economics woo woo

  • What is the most unhinged conspiracy theory?

    Jump

  • The UPS driver for my old office building told me trumps not racist or even appealing to racists , he wants to build the wall because there's an underground supercomputer in Mexico thats going to open a portal to hell and flood the world with demons.

  • Israel's Knesset to vote on declaring UNRWA a terrorist organization

    Jump

  • Nothing says "definitely not a genocide" like declaring a refugee aid organization terrorists for providing aid to the residential neighborhoods you're bombing.

  • Linus Tech Tips (LTT) release investigation results on former accusations

    Jump

  • No they're not obligated to release anything, and neither is she. In a situation like this its up to the observer to form their own opinions. People will take each parties past and future actions in account as well. It is very believable to me that LTT has a toxic culture based purely on the upload schedule and past conflict with other reviewers and product startups. I think most of the claims were descriptive enough to be believable although some may have been exaggerated and painted by the whistleblowers past experience such as the bait and switch onboarding. My opinion doesn't really matter though, im just going to stop interacting with LTT based on how theyve reacted and conducted themselves over multiple public incidents.

    Generally speaking, the employer has all the power and own the records which would prove the whistleblower right or wrong and it is much more difficult to retain that information as an employee. The power imbalance in the relationship and the role of the company as custodian of records here is what changes the expectation. Power imbalance is what has caused high profile people with money and fame to get away with bad behavior for thousands of years so society is working to address that now. Not going to be perfect at first but its a good start

  • Linus Tech Tips (LTT) release investigation results on former accusations

    Jump

  • Receipts. The actual data used to come to these conclusions. I have worked with attorneys in corporate law firms in some capacity for almost 20 years and while I am not a lawyer I can confidently say they don't take these engagements to find the truth. They do it to prep for a case and to build a chain of events that show they are acting in good faith increasing their chances filing a motion to dismiss while identifying liability and building a defense. The one point they conceded regarding her claims that they lied in onboarding the attorneys are basically saying if that case gets filed there is a high chance a judge will find it has merit and move it forward. Idk of Canada court system is the same but in America thats corporate lawyer for youd probably pay a settlement or damages on this point.

  • Tips on distro for gaming

    Jump

  • Ill put my vote in for Garuda Linux. If you're using Intel nvidia it is optimized out if the box. It is built on arch so youd manage it similar to Manjaro. kDE Plasma with Wayland is smooth. I cant get GNOME network displays to work to add my TV as a monitor but otherwise everything has been great.

  • Back in like 2006 or 7 steganography was used in obscure corners of the internet ( like insurgen.cc, an early anonymous holdout that got broken up by the feds) to pass around hacking tools. You'd unzip the dangerous kitten photo with winrar and extract a set of hacking tools. One I remember passed around widely was the low orbiting ion cannon the /b used to ddos scientologists.

    TIL: The Phrase “Death To America” Didn’t exist Before the CIA Overthrew the Iranian Government for Nationalizing their Oil in 1953

    Jump

  • My favorite has been the shift in the definition of 'nuanced' to mean "the singular date in recent history that lets me assign blame in one direction and ignoring everything else".. somehow always used in a patronizing tone by someone who thinks Colonization was actually good because it brought us the iphone
