I suppose the problem is I get badjacketed very often on Lemmy for takes like “not everyone in America (including the people in detention camps) deserves to die because some people made bad choices” and “war crimes are bad no matter who is doing them”, yet I am rarely interacting with libs or fascists, so if they’re out here bitching that America’s dick got stepped on too hard they are just not on my feed. I dunno why you would go to Lemmy and choose to interact with those people. Some of these posts seem designed to start fights with invisible people. Everyone should know about blocking users and defederating intolerable instances.

Honestly, it sounds like you’re talking to Americans who don’t realize we haven’t won a war since World War II. Since that isn’t that obscure a fact to anyone who studied any history, you’re wasting your time talking to them.

I don’t understand, it IS literally bad for America. But from your/our perspective who cares? You’re gloating, and thats fine, your viewpoint is vindicicated, America just tripped on its own dick. The people will now be 300 billion poorer. So are we wrong to point out that by hoisting our own petard, as a country, we will be bearing a consequence? Or do you simply seek to frame literally anything Americans say, even the conciliatory, even the materially correct analysis, as imperialism?

The Anne Frank quote. Doesn’t it disprove the OPs point? If Anne Frank had spent a lot of time writing about her favorite fictional rock orbiting Pluto whose name was Jeremy the Rock, that would be a political topic like all other things in her diary because after she wrote that diary she was checks notes murdered for her ethnicity. The only children’s diaries that necessarily aren’t political are the ones we never read and the ones not penned by murder victims. Like you bitch about Lemmy culture all you want but you’re the one who brought up a murder victim’s last words, which are THE symbol of banal hatred of the innocent that people use to teach the tragedy of the Holocaust, BECAUSE what was written there was so completely innocent.

I guess I forgot how much redditors think, but never think about Anne Frank.

This is a reminder to everyone to only install from the AUR for absolutely necessary stuff only, and only if you trust the maintainer.

Unfortunately not foolproof either. I have no infected packages that I know of because I happen to be on a new install, but I caught wind of the LAST AUR botnet infiltration and switched to flatpaks or source builds. Since then I drifted back to AUR for convenience. I thought I was being clever only using AUR packages when I could be “sure” the author of the original software package pushed to AUR, and this was easy since devs who build on Arch typically recommend AUR whether they maintain the package or not. Today I found out spoofing package ownership is apparently easy and so is spoofing git credentials.

I was on Endeavour and it was incredible, but I’m not That Power User and I feel like part of the problem. The worst part of all of this is its owing to an influx of users who want the same ease of use they used to enjoy, but in Windows SOP is installing whatever the fuck you want on Internet Explorer and bugging your sysadmin to fix whatever happens. Its probably really hard to be any kind of FOSS developer right now.

It’s a rhetorical tactic to draw attention to the juxtaposition between the lives of poor people who don’t know French words and the rich they all but worship, can people stop denigrating it as a term? It goddamn works in an argument. You can tell someone their worldview was given to them by the Epstein class. You can tell people Steve Banon and Jeff Epstein, members of the Epstein class, conspired to psyop them toward being antifeminist. You can say the Epstein class directly controls the White House because there are literal video evidence of the AG facing away from rape victims as she covers for the rapists by seguing to the supposed health of the economy.

If anyone reading this cares, Faugus/UMU for a replacement to Lutris if you’re bothered by Lutris using AI in their project.

Thanks!

What game?

Asking for advice and expertise is what the internet should be for. Search engines suck now. Why not ask here?

Is this a post just tilting the blame and impetus for escaping closed hardware on the user and nothing else? Because I’ll buy a Jolla or a Fairphone when my current phone dies, maybe, if I can afford it. All your post does is position true privacy as a hobbyists niche.

It’s material analysis of the motivations of the proletariat. Yes this is what experts are warning about, consequences to the war makers for starting war. Everyone on this site is reading both the grizzly details of the warcrimes AND the economic impacts which overall effect their lives.

Hey, Westerner, you DO have a right to complain, and you SHOULD, about ALL OF IT. And NEVER STOP. And you DON’T deserve it, you didn’t do anything. Which part of the west is responsible for this fuckup, and is there a chance that one or more people in this nebuluous West thing don’t deserve it because they didn’t want it? Complain about the human cost and the money making your life harder too. I beg you to bitch. You’re not a murderer, you’re in the murderer’s dungeon.

That seems extreme. Could you explain your point of view a bit more? Is it because it seems hes implying (presently non existing) consequences on users or legal comsequences toward init and distro projects?

Count me as someone else who strongly, strongly identifies with what you’re going through, particularly with executive dysfunction and the feeling of keeping on until you know you can’t keep on.

You’re not alone. I’ll say that if I had known at 18 I was trans I’d be in a far better place than I am now. I am obliged to recommend AskTransgender@lemmy.blahaj.zone, which I am an ancillary moderator of. You are always welcome!

Don’t give up. It is scary now, actually, no, its shatteringly awful, but you are still here. What has been discovered cannot be taken from you, it is a part of you now. That small part of your identity loves and nurtures the rest of your whole soul. I hope this reads as more than simply platitudinous.

You mean it wasn’t a watercolouring accountant from Iowa? No fucking shit.

Ah so a market upset the rich control the timing for, virtually indistinguishable from a bubble unless you’re holding all the cards, amazing analysis by HanK Green.

You are in a self-posting community where people “chat”, Powderhorn is sharing a candid moment in the “chat” community, that’s what.

I was replying to you but then I went on a whole extended soap box that wasn’t all the way directed at you, apologies.The self-censorship is my point.

100%, thank you. We can not be handwringing every little thing because people like this just want to “be part of the conversation”. The only good point here is that this IS just cop shit, but that’s the thing, it’s on a whole other level where it actually threatens the police themselves, and rhetorically that’s useful for once.

Please pick and choose your battles here in 2026 instead of falling for this faux-intellectual college kid bait discourse I’m begging you. ICE are thugs. That term comes from India and refers to a class of dudes who were so hard up under British Imperialism they would just kill people in the road by sneaking up on them. The US govt us debt trapping white supremacist goons into killing for them (no I am not making excuses for them) I’d say it etymologically fits the bill. And if it doesn’t okay, I get that you want to make world better and Always Say The Exact Right Thing, but these people are hurting us NOW and when they’re down the fucking street taking my neighbors I need everyone to be on the same page with me and not moralize at me about my choice of words! This bullshit is fedposting whether accidentally or intentionally, it’s like when CHUDs make fun of us for our best impulses and we can’t argue back or else it looks like we’re abandoning principles to assholes who are moving the goal posts they control around us to present us as idiots.

“Gang” I more strongly see the argument for… but they ARE that, they ARE organized criminals, and they wouldn’t be the first mix-race-yet-white-supremacist-fascist-organized-criminal outfit. See also LAPD and the Proud Boys, etc etc. You cannot just retcon language into being race-based because CNN used it a certain way in the 90s when running urban crime stories. You cannot let the Neoliberal racist world order be the weather vein for what literal words you are and aren’t allowed to say, because before those words were forcibly associated with racialized crime reporting THEY WERE REAL WORDS. We cannot do this to all language or we’ll be talking like “Orange Man(bad) uses COP ARMY (ACAB, almost forgot heh) to distract us from the fact he grpd and unal*ved Persons of a Younger Persuasion.” Please defend our language and our right to express what we’re seeing in real time, do not automatically self-censor with no wider consensus based off merely seeing a post. PLEASE.
