brb, gotta deal with some tidying on our streets before we’re ready to have company over

i was coming in here to recommend exactly that!

it’s getting hard to differentiate his ideas that are intentionally scams and his ideas that are just ketamine fueled insanity

fascists are also opportunistic backbiting bitches always looking for the moment to turn on eachother

trump will say anything. he doesn’t support mamdani, at least not in action. but trump wants to be popular and for people to like him, so he will attach himself to anything successful. he loved the new england patriots until the kansas city chiefs became the dynasty to beat. suddenly he was talking about patrick mahomes constantly.

the criticism for that meeting should purely go on mamdani allowing his brand to be attached to a fascist. but that gets into that electoralism will never save us because politicians who play political games to curry favor are inherently compromised. however, the value of electoralism is that it can help us put people who will allow us to organize on the margins in office as we grow our movement

i think the incompetence comes into play from knowing the risk but proceeding for the memes. and like. look. respect to doing luthery as a form of stunt work. but all amateur stuntwork is ultimately a form of incompetence. it’s cool, and respectworthy. but it’s also not… the competent thing to do to see a magnet break a slat, realize it can break your finger, and then press on to do it.

yeah this is the era of COINTELPRO, they were only helping minorities while on camera

wouldn’t really expect it to be

you name a way to divide a people in a harmful way, they’re doing it

• racism
• Islamophobia
• homophobia
• sexism
• transphobia
• ablism
• shit you ain’t never even thought of hating on

they’re hating on it

i beg of everyone to keep an open mind and to try to remember that while this might seem like racist bullshit upon first glance, that upon further inspection you will find that the reasons for these things are also racist bullshit

i can’t help but be pleased that you associate 3 of my favorite instances with eachother! it makes me feel like i’m acting in a group who’s putting good things into the world

in addition to those, and anarchist.nexus (which @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com mentioned), i think quokk.au also belongs (i think they even had a vote to join the flotilla db0 was mentioning, but that they voted no). while these instances are not formally allied via the governance pact of said flotilla, i do find them, and the users on them, to generally have complementary views and stances on the world, how it works, and how it should work.

it’s less like a flotilla and more like ships at sea who all hate the royal french armada together. we party at the same ports together, but we’re all on different adventures

the key is, from microsoft’s perspective, you don’t own your computer

Tolkein’s idyllic structure for a society, the shire, is frequently analyzed through a lens of “is this anarchism?” and it’s not all that uncommon to conclude “yes”

all these fuckers read Tolkien and adopted the imagery of the villains. none of them realize that the message is that all the top level people are addicted to power. the people who actually get shit done, the hobbits, they are tempted by power because it’s tempting, but ultimately value singing songs, making tea, and eating potatoes too much to want to possess the ultimate power in the universe. almost everyone who comes into contact with the one ring wants to possess it forever. Bilbo’s first desire for it is to use it to help him escape a dangerous situation. Frodo is indifferent to it at first. Sam immediately hates it, feels guilt for letting Frodo carry it alone, and commits himself to destroying it.

You’re not supposed to read Tolkien and implement fascism. you’re supposed to read Tolkien and learn to value pacifism

i don’t understand how that negates the utility of a mobile app that presents this information. also i’m not saying to get rid of the server-client paradigm, not sure what you’re talking about

status. part of the impetus of the development of piefed was a frustration with how the lemmy devs treated people who tried to get onboarded to help with the development of lemmy. i can go into more depth about how this is a reflection of how the lemmy devs see the world, but i don’t necessarily feel like hashing all that out when i have bigger fascists to fry

phone apps can’t use activity pub as that’s a server protocol so if you want a good mobile interface you generally speaking need a rest-y api that an application can query. yes, lemmy and piefed both feature PWA frontends that can be installed to your homescreen, however on older phones this can be an extremely suboptimal experience as PWAs tend to require more RAM than native apps.

i think often about that GM and Volvo paid Virginia Tech a lot of money to help them design a safe touchscreen infotainment center and after years of research the researchers basically reached the conclusion “there’s no safe way to put a touchscreen in a car” and now we all have touchscreens in our cars

Japan

bah dum tiss

yeah i upvoted despite that piece of infommation and was going to come back later because the core truth remains: they only ever do the right thing for customers when forced

that’s not what anywhere is reporting, where are you seeing that?
