had an interaction that strongly indicated OP may be an alt of some kind themself. something shady about a one month old account making posts like this.

What’s our over/under for how long until the executive order that conveniently pushes the boundaries of what “illegal” is.

You are unhelpfully combative. DEI factually is a term that has been made a victim of twisting and manipulation. Flickerman was well within their rights to point out that this malformation of meaning has gone so far as to influence the basic grammatical use of the term.

You will notice that Flickerman even gives OP an out, admitting that their misusage of the term might be unintentional, likely skewed by years of propaganda. That is, OP could be entirely innocent and misled.

Therefore, ironically, the individual here who is truly reacting programmatically to seek victimhood, is you. :)

Be sure to read and take seriously the comments here, OP. They are correct. The majority of the media you have consumed about “DEI” was intentional lies to make you believe oligarchs and billionaires were on your side against a constructed enemy.

That enemy isn’t real. The billionaires aren’t on your side. They just wanted to cultivate your anger for personal gain, and for many, unfortunately, that propagandizing was successful.

appreciate your consistent and calm attitude to such a frustrating and consistent onslaught of criticism ada, as always <3

this is interesting and i think it would be valuable to have discourse about this outside of distasteful characters, thanks for bringing it to attention

my initial thoughts are “what does mainstream mean lol” and “why six letters” and “what about languages that don’t use the roman alphabet”

but i appreciate the stance of respect and pragmatism this seems to come from so that’s nice

good thing it wasn’t (source: i was the third party recipient of those shared DMs; they were fully irrelevant to admin/mod action, abusive or otherwise)

Careful not to mythologize the characters of people who have just hurt others.

With 100+ comments already this is probably a message delivered too late, but if you are reading this be aware that comments here that digress away from simply keeping history into ogling and ridiculing serve only to feed the needs of a user who already has alt accounts drifting in as we speak.

@WindFarmsofTikTok, the new kind of terrorist, hiding her barely veiled commands to her followers to bomb-threat green infrastructure behind her love of birds :(

excellent answer and analogy, and even more points for not using the useless phrase no true scottsman :) /gen

Luddites’ main concern was the systemic redirection of revenue from them, the laborers, to the owners of the factories. They did not simply hate technology for technology’s sake.

The fact that you ignore this basic historical fact betrays an embarrassing ignorance.

I personally don’t give a shit if some AI is used in research. I think that’s awesome. But AI also actively and materially deprives laborers of compensation for their work, both before and after the model training process. And I fucking hate that.

this is me but i don’t care about linux

if the best time to switch is always today then if i put it off till tomorrow it will be even better right?

You should be able to visit the post via a web browser that’s not signed in and get a direct URL. Also just don’t link to IG when possible (I know you probably have your reasons but throwing that out there).

haha TIL!

which is good, to be clear

no user should be able to accidentally brick their entire system just because some internet troll told them to type some magic words :P massive security flaw

it’s an entirely different implementation which is integrated into the windows system and settings itself not just a ps script. read the link in OP for more.

it uses the UAC flow so it’s closer to right click > run as administrator than runas, so you will be required to enter credentials in the UAC dialogue (not the terminal) unless you are using an admin account (which at any workplace taking security seriously you should not be)

and in powershell it’s $$ to execute the previous command :)

disclaimer: not an admin i just use these tools

i used to “hatesub” (idk what else to call it) to r/UrbanHell

i actually quite liked a lot of the images on that subreddit, especially of high rises like this, like a good portion of them gave off cozy vibes—maybe low income, but intimate yet still private when needed.

all that to say i think this is kinda cute and i disagree it’s awful taste. maybe could use some greenery but that’s it.
