Nothing like discovering live-leak before first grade

I don’t think Puerto Rico wants statehood, pretty sure they (like most of the US’s other stolen land outside of the continental span) would prefer to be an independent nation

Carl says I’m wrong and brought reciepts.

Doesn’t matter, it’s about being a birthright citizen.

Ted Cruz was born in Canada but he’s still technically eligible to be US president

Does actively commenting but never posting count as lurking?

I miss grass, I live in the desert.

I blocked .world because it’s a centrist shit hole that serves to do nothing but piss me off with whiners who don’t do shit about fuck complaining about tankies and fascists as though their no side taking ass even has a fucking seat at the table.

Fuck .world

I’ve run into an issue lately where nearly everything I torrent is from IA, who has 2 webseeds. I can sit there seeding for weeks and still be at a 0.0 ratio

Clear your cache, the Hexbear domain is up for auction and (as it has for days now) will redirect to chapo.chat, their old domain that they still-owned.

100% true there.

As a 20 year user I can’t imagine using something else as easily. My partner, who’s been using it for less than a month, also has a great time with it.

Back when I was still learning though I broke it quite a few times mucking about where I didn’t belong and copy-pasting commands I didn’t understand into the terminal.

Remember kids, if you don’t understand what you’re reading, you can break things by following instructions.

Sigh 😮‍💨

Time to spin up a selfhosted URL shortener

This is corporate propaganda. /s

In all seriousness though it’d be really nice if people stopped sharing memes making Linux look hard. Its literally the only readily available easy to use option that doesn’t spy on you, the people need to not be scared of it.

Oh my bad I’m a silly

Looks to have the same features, Heliboard appears to use the Swype library from SwiftKey which is a close source blob, use that info how you will.

Futo keyboard has no telemetry whatsoever

I like to think of tankies as Anakin Skywalker in that scene on the Grass with Padme. Anakin is gently explaining his hopes for the future, the wonderful world he wants to build, but when asked if people disagree he says “then they’ll be made to”, revealing his authoritarian streak. To anakin, like the tankie, seems obvious that an ultimate authority is necessary to shepherd the people into their eventual utopia, by force if necessary.

Many recognize the goal of a far left state is to whither and die, but the tankie forgets that power begets power. A dictatorship of the prolietariat is all well and good until a well spoken wolf in the finest wool takes the reigns. Power does not corrupt; rather i believe it is corruption that seeks power, and like dragons those corrupted by power will not give it up, and will do anything for more.

Former tankie turned anarchist. Talk to the Tankies. Learn from them, they have points.

Engles is full of shit (“On Authority” is little more than a business owner complaining that people don’t like authority, and using natural laws of the universe to justify its existence by diluting the definition of authority such that any type of power over anything is considered authority. While this is not technically incorrect, it is a gross oversimplification of what authority means) and is the primary basis for how authority is justified on the Auth left.

But when they tell you to read something, go read it. They shitpost hard, don’t eat the onion, don’t feed the trolls, but engage in genuine conversation *recognizing that you will never agree and using it as a learning experience *

Enforcement without exception of a rule that was created to protect a marginalized group is not “cray cray”, nevermind the use of ableist language there.

The 196 on world is the original mods, who were unhappy with Ada’s enforcement of the rules on her server which she owns and decided that because of this they would migrate their community without consulting their members to .world, an instance which is known in the wider community to have moderation issues such as unfair or inconsistent application of rules (see /c/yepowertrippinbastards on Lemmy.dbzer0 for examples).

The now 2 other 196 comms on blahaj are comprised of the original community’s members, now fractured into two groups. /C/onehundredninetysix was made while /c/196 was still privated by the original moderators.

Attempting to evade deactivation sounds a whole lot like self preservation to me, implying self awareness.
