  • The US has not started accomplishing that sentence yet. Maybe they’re on the B of build, if I’m being generous.

    With the compounding situation in places like Minneapolis and large peaceful demonstrations, I think there's a decent chance of the dress rehearsal coming. So we gotta do what we can to prepare for it.

  • veterans, such as myself a former Navy Nuke Instructor

    A bit off-topic, have you heard either of the Wake-ups episodes[1][2] from the Eyes Left podcast? And if so, do they resonate with your experiences in the force?

  • Daggers in a select few hearts may be enough to shift things.

    If you're proposing what I think you are, it's sounds like something we tried in the late 1800s/early 1900s. Our lesson was that this tactic won't solve a systemic problem, at least in isolation. Action without a surrounding social movement is lost. Just ask Luigi - despite the widespread bipartisan approval of their action, there weren't many copycats nor long-term changes in our conditions. And, if you saw much of other Lemmy instances at the time of that event, you may have seen various people denouncing it as 'adventurism', despite how cathartic it was.

    So, many of the socialist organizations aim to develop the surrounding movement needed to cause systemic change.

    You have been given the chance to make a short PSA broadcasted to your entire community, or region, or country. What problem will you fix?

  • I wonder if this has any practical benefits over running a Windows OS in a VM...

    edit: piping, or easier collaboration between, Win32 and Linux programs could be an example. The creator mentions creative and gaming applications.

  • Win32/Hurd when?

  • I've willingly learned Calc (LibreOffice's open-source spreadsheet tool) because I've made spreadsheets for my own needs. But to "become employable"? No way.

  • Our cogs do not feel amplified.

  • For an extra answer, GrapheneOS is based on stock Android, in contrast to the Linux-phone options they mentioned. Since it's only (officially) supported on Pixel phones and focuses on security and privacy more than other customization, it's actually the most stable and easy transition I've made, coming from an Android phone already. Installer is super easy compared to other phone OSs I've tried, you can do it by connecting the phone to a computer, opening https://grapheneos.org/install/web , and just pressing buttons to do all the normally-complicated steps. I was very impressed with that.

  • It's much easier to find organic art in a community, outside the art industries.

    Sure, unless you set up a lot of subscriptions it won't just come on a consumption conveyor belt, and some people might want or expect that, but it's much better to be in a place where you're actually interacting with artists.

  • i use adguard to block ads on most shit on my phone but reddit ads still show

    Ah, I didn't realize adguard doesn't cover those.

  • This post just gave me flashbacks to when I was trying to make a custom Plymouth boot logo on QubesOS and kept having to restore from backup after bricking.

    But hey, at least eye strain won't be an issue for your lxdm now

  • I don't understand how your point should be applied to reality.

    Are you suggesting that we shouldn't mention relevant history to the people who don't research it on their own?

    Are you suggesting we should ignore history and use the word 'gestapo', which the Average American you're describing wouldn't understand either?

    Are you suggesting that everyone should dumb themselves down to the level of this Average American so they don't get annoyed by us?

    I'm not saying this to argue, I seriously want to understand the issue you have with this video correcting a historical misunderstanding and providing education to its target audience.

  • Gestapo literally means “secret state police”.

    IMO this is like saying "Nazi literally means someone who is strict on rules" and "Socialist literally means someone who wants to share all the money around". It's true colloquially, but that's also a crude abuse of a term which actually refers to a real historical group. It's useless in a political context, and we should attempt to educate people about important things. The school system isn't doing it, and these issues are more relevant to the average American by the day.

  • Ads? Comrade, you deserve better than this.

    Block 'em, it's good for your health and reduces the ability of Porky to track you.

  • It's an opportunity to say it once more: how the word "influencer" is used so casually and neutrally by everyday people baffles me. How long would it take to become normal if a few cute celebrities said "Hi, I'm a manipulator! I get paid to control public opinion for companies :D "
