Liberals are trustworthy in the sense that whatever progressive policies they are capable of enacting will be done so with the assurance that grandma’s access to medication will not be impeded.

Communists are trustworthy in the sense that they absolutely intend to burn everything down to reshape the world in their image, and no sacrifice made in accomplishing that is too great.

Kind of obvious why people support a coalition with liberals more, huh?

Tankies essentially have more in common with other fascists than they do other leftists.

I once joined a stalinist discord. 3 weeks later it was a community of trans-Hitlerites who required an ID to join.

Is it 100% accurate to write communism off as fascism hiding under leftist wool? No, not 100% accurate, but it sure saves a hell of a lot of time.

I am finding I like Mastodon the best. Lemmy has potential, but I think the political extremism and lack of hobbyist culture here currently, mixed with the incredibly confusing on-boarding process beginners have to navigate, along with the name, all contribute to making it DOA.

Tolerance is a social contract. People who practice intolerance are not owed anything.

I think it is built using activitypub. Its essentially a mastodon server that has all incoming servers blocked.

I disagree.

We know what META is about and what they do. We came here because we didn’t want to be treated as products and used as experiments constantly watched by “AI algorithm”.

The smartest thing anybody ever said to me is, “don’t let a pimp have access to the battered woman’s shelter.”

Almost all of us are here because we have either always thought that, or grew to think that.

By the down votes, it is clear I am wrong. We actually should invent crimes for the state of Israel. Their real ones are not good enough.

I apologize for my mistake.

Do you have evidence or just jumping the gun on forming a conspiracy?

The guy is guilty enough without us having to invent crimes for him, don’t you think?

Piracy doesn’t take money from artists, just ask Cory Doctorow, a person making their living as a writer while uploading the torrents of his novels himself.

Corporate consolidation is what kills the artists. The studios make less movies per year, so the a list actors go to television and take the roles Rob Morrow used to get.

What does this mean?

Quote possibly the greatest album ever made.

You made an offer likely knowing what content your mother consumed.

Also, doing this for her means those charlatans aren’t actually getting her money.

Something to consider in favor of doing your mom a solid.

Just make sure you out satanic films in the folder and rename them to Christian themed titles.

I saw one while working, and yeah, they look even dumber and more useless in person.

If it gets people to start using it and uploading content overall it is a win, although my hope was that it would build out to be a PBS competitor

Supposedly Pixelfed or Peertube just added shorts.

A big issue with that is when I signed up to peertube 10 months ago, literally the only videos I could find were French language protestors.

While that is true, it ignores the fact that not all consumption is equally unethical.

.ml users are allowed to coordinate harassment against people they think are Jews, but aren’t allowed to call people whores?

Huh.

We had an overheating issue and couldn’t restore so we had to do a reset and once that happened our system information said we had 8 gigs less than we had before the reset.

A buddy of mine said he thinks the slot connection died from the overheating.

Interesting. I thought Mint was a version of Ubuntu.

I had to end it before it became a thing. We can’t have fun here.
