I’ll try one more time. The appropriate context to start is from the post. The post is a comic about a MAGA supporter supposedly being forced to act more racist and Nazi-like simply because they are accused of being racist. In the comic the MAGA person is bringing in the topic of Nazism unprompted as the central part of the joke. With that context in mind, do you see that your comment(s) effectively justify or lend legitimacy to what the joke MAGA character is doing?

The parts where you and I are saying the same thing, the primary difference is in the delivery. I’m not an admin or moderator, but if you think moderation is selectively being used against you, you have had another ban a while back with this as a suggestion:

be constructive: there is no need of another internet space full of competition, negativity, rage.

Please try to work on it if you can, and with your help we can bring better quality discussion to this site. Have an excellent day.

I’m sorry but your temp ban from that community imo is justified. The line between shitposting and trolling is quite fine. However sympathy for Neo-Nazism and blaming people who are pointing it out for why they support it is well beyond a reasonable shitpost. The Texit-style remark really is the part that is troll-like if you aren’t serious, and if you are serious you absolutely are falling for Trump and his team’s divisive rhetoric. I’ll attempt to explain.

Not everyone who supports Trump is a Nick Fuentes character, of course. But denying the association is just deluding yourself. In order to establish a tolerant society we mustn’t tolerate intolerance. Pushing racist, misogynist, xenophobic views is not something that can be “heard out”, if you will. The thing is the right-wing media network attaches real problems and struggles that people have, to hating and blaming your neighbour for it. With Nazism that was blaming Jews for various economic and societal problems that Germans had. We must separate the problem from the hate to even discuss a solution, and identifying that to a person is one of the first steps. We cannot start at a position that entertains the hateful argument or association as legitimate, we start from what the problem actually is and that involves calling out and recognizing the hateful parts for what they are. That is why the Democrats are appealing to both progressive-lites, liberals and past Trump voters on the issues, while MAGA is all in on the conspiracy theories, fabricated stories, fear, division and hate-based politics.

Hopefully this helps with understanding a little.

That’s part of the reason why new community oriented projects are way more interesting to me now than most software. There are some outliers in the space who still have dedicated people in their craft rather than for money but it is fewer and farther between.

Imagine if they pulled that on the idle timeout pause screen too…

I wonder if it’s 2024 year model because it was “rebuilt”, if you call it that…

Welcome to the club!

I really feel this especially related to mobile (cellphone and tablet) communications: (Google Pixel is the only device offering substantial support for alternative OSes, Mobile Payment Processors rely on one of the big names like Google, Apple, Samsung etc., other projects becoming unmaintained and supporting 10 year old phones, etc.)

In the personal (laptop and desktop) computing space we are in a much better place. You are much less beholden to companies’ interest in harvesting data on every aspect of your life.

Sure, we can lament that most people don’t care. But look where we are now: I have daily driven my Linux box for a year to play all the games that are in style with my friends without Microsoft constantly over my shoulder. I’m on Lemmy and other Fediverse platforms, unbeholden to specific corporate policies. I use Beeper which means I don’t have to have Meta apps harvesting interaction behaviour directly on my primary cellphone. I can’t win every battle for my privacy and freedom, but each conscious choice I have that I make is a statement of resistance, and one step of many towards my ideal of the computer world I wish to be in.

What compounded the issue was that one of the nixpkgs maintainers had been closing all relevant issues, which redirects the discussion to HA forums. No matter how many times it is repeated “we at NixOS have no intention on putting extra work on the developer”, the actions speak differently.

One or more maintainers later apologized, judging downthread it seems this was mostly resolved amicably between the people involved. No reason to get upset about it again three years later.

His code breaking something, or him not understanding a system he’s not involved with doesn’t mean he is obligated to listen to complaints or fix it for free.

I bet Larian is like, “Oh no, Hasbro this is terrible! We locked down the editor best we could, but those conniving hackers broke the protections to make creative custom content for our game. What will we ever do? 😏”

If you can believe it, Trump supporters will accept the Ohio immigrant pet eating story as true.

Somehow media is pitching the “moderate position” as halfway between anywhere within the normal range of political positions and the crazy positions.

I mean it’s silly ML behaviour, but also it’s surprising to me because davel is usually cool-headed.

Barely a dox if it’s just finding other profiles based on information publicly posted on the profile.

“Yeah, here, check my /dev/null real quick”

Tech has evolved to intentionally give less and less choice to the user. Tech skills have declined on average as a result.

Congratulations! 1 more country to beat the threshold requirement (after the Netherlands whose threshold seems will be crossed imminently). France and Ireland seem like solid contenders.

I can’t have a chill movie night at home with friends without being able to pirate movies for free.

This is what mods are meant for… to bring a beautiful setting and game engine to its limits beyond what story and gameplay could be crammed in at release.

Refusal to comply with local laws suggests social media company ‘considered itself above the rule of law’

Seems like a correct observation to me.

If the UI always looks like that you’d huffed too much Compiz.

Pactl commands will do what I think you want, I keep forgetting the exact syntax. Once you find something that works, you can bind those commands to some key combos to easily switch
