“you thought you did something there, didn’t you?”
You can do it through the instance API.
Admins at lemmy.ml used vote tracking against me to retaliate by deciding what communities to ban me from after I spoke out against disinformation. They felt that censorship wasn’t enough, they felt the need to be malicious in order to make a point. Sucks to be them though, they forgot the part about keeping your cards close to the chest.
glad they posted it twice so we can all play both sides, upvote one in case it’s sarcasm, downvote the other in case of troll.
Yes-- campaigns that involve influencing people’s opinions with covert guerrilla campaigns across social media with no accountability. Among the other shady tactics in their playbooks.
Hey man that’s your choice, but please just keep in mind that when you vote for the third party, the other two parties gain more ground than they lose-- both lose your vote, but you’re in no way impeding other party from winning. This is why people are saying it’s a game of voting against least favored candidates, because your impedance is much more significant than your support.
It won’t matter to Republicans what platform the constituents are showing them should be adopted once they institute Project 2025 into law.
Except, as far as I can tell, the system is designed such that citizens can’t make them change it-- what are you going to do, vote for nobody and force the government to fix it’s shit before electing a new president? I mean, you could revolt but I think we all know how quickly the government would act to squash any meaningful attempt to. And if Project 2025 is allowed to play out, then military can be dispatched to handle simple protests instead of the police, so good luck pressuring the government to do anything at that point.
They already put snipers on rooftops at every University for the Palestine protests. Supposedly this was for public safety as there was intel that things would turn violent, but who really knows the truthfulness of such intel or where the order came down from? When the military becomes your police, this act would pale in comparison.
Remember this when you go to the polls, or when you are considering not to.
With no offense intended, I feel this could be worded a little better. It could also just be my tired brain, though.

Just give up hope. It’s really not worth it.
I loved Pop!_OS as it made Debian/Ubuntu extremely usable as a daily driver. Finally I got fed up with outdated package bullshit coming from different angles and went to Rocky. Wish I did it sooner.
Appreciate System76, but they’ve dropped the ball hard and I don’t think it’s recoverable
Btw, you’re the person the comic is referencing.
I thought it was blatantly obvious that I am aware of that, and cool with it no less.
I’m not saying nobody should have their debt relieved. I’m saying I am more than comfortable holding my resentment towards the government for failing me and my fellow constituent. And that even if some other constituent is happy with this move, I see it as too little too late. I avoided higher education explicitly because I refused to submit to their bullshit system and shoulder inescapable debt without any guarantee of recuperability. In doing so, I passed up on coubtless opportunities. I am allowed to be angry that my wise decision now looks pointless in hindsight.
I did not put myself at the disadvantage-- my government did that for me. And I am mad about it. I will continue to be mad about it. I won’t do anything about it. But there may come a day when the government compels me to do something. And I will have valid reason to tell them to kick rocks, if that is what I do choose to do. I owe them nothing.
edit: also, if anyone dislikes my attitude or approach-- that’s too bad, because I’m long past the point of caring. When I was given a raw hand all the way from adolescence, I took it and used my spite about it as motivation to obsolete any disadvantage I had to come out on top and as close to unmovable as one could get. The spite kept me from killing myself and went on to mold me into a dangerous son of a bitch Silicone Valley would fight over and AI CEOs gripe that they can’t replace. I have unspeakably cozy job security and don’t ever have to worry about my future. And I have only my spite and tenacity to thank.
I was pissed about the debt relief until my boss reminded me that school wouldn’t have helped me much even had I gone the four-year route or more.
Still pissed I had to settle for a shitty degree at a shitty college, live with an abusive family member and work full-time while I attended in order to get a piece of fucking paper without worrying about debt, only for some politician do decide a couple years later than now is a good time to slap a band-aid on the failing system. But oh well, I’ve come to expect no less from the government that has told me on separate occasions “yes you are entitled to the program’s assistance, but we’re not dispensing it because of a technicality nobody told you exists till now”. All I have to say to my government is: since you gave me nothing, I owe you nothing-- my skillset is entirely self-built and I have sole discretion over where and how I apply it.
If I were to fully elaborate, I’d be typing for hours, so I’ll sum up:
--require-virtualenv. Multiple things can fuck up your ENV to make the python binaries point to system-wide, while your terminal will still show you as in a venv. Also why TF would package metadata files need to be executable? Bad practice, -1/10From there, it’s all extremely nit-picky and paranoid-fueled-- basically, none of the package managers I mentioned are conducive, in my eyes at least, to a secure and intuitive compute environment.
Unfortunately, there’s not much I can do about it except bang pots and pans and throw maintainers under buses when the issue that has been present for years rears it’s ugly head. Because they are the only ones who can change this, and pressure is the only thing that might motivate them to.
Nix is already beyond fucked because they actively dismiss the need for appropriate security measures to prevent supply chain attacks. There were multiple discussions about this over the years that appear to have succumbed to neglect.
I wouldn’t trust nix, just like I don’t trust pip, brew, or a whole plethora of other package managers and repositories. They are just too neglectful
Yeah and that makes sense. But I still choose to die on the hill of tabs or nothing. That’s just how anal I am about my code.
And I realize there are niche scenarios where tabs don’t make sense, but I could care less about those. Afaik, even assemblers support tabs. If you have tabs, I feel it is almost sacrilegious not to use them for indentation.
Yeah I liked him better then /s
I hate these kinds of slides because I’ll come across them somewhere and be like “WHAT THE FUCK IS THE CONTEXT FOR THESE NUMBERS??? WHAT DOES THIS HALF-ASS DIAGRAM REPRESENT?” and the information I extract becomes less usable as a result.
I often won’t read PowerPoints in that style unless a recording of the presentation is available, otherwise I just pretend it doesn’t exist and get my information elsewhere because certainty ain’t optional mf.
I will fight tooth and nail with anyone who agrees with this decision. Not because Torvalds did it, but because fuck you use tabs you goddamn neanderthals
I didn’t even know it was a subreddit until reading that post, despite having previously been a disgracefully active redditor for more than a decade.
How so exactly? What exactly here would they be amused by? How do you anticipate they would react? Genuinely lost.
I’ve never met any Minecraft player that played Story Mode, but a few had primary school siblings that did.
