You don’t stop it (on your own), you work with other people who are trying to stop it.
You figure out what you’re good at and have time for and do that. In a group. Collectively. No-one is saying ’why doesn’t traxex fix this’.
If you want to take on deprogramming cult members yourself there are resources available to anyone to get you started.
For real, if there was apple’s extended warranty on it, they might have replaced it after the first explosion, but not the 2nd (unless PR opportunity involved).
But it’s a five year old computer, that warranty ended two years ago.
There are minor differences in the internal components, from 2019 to 2020 MBAirs, and a notable case change in 2021.
The 2020 model IS pretty tough, though. It’s the last iteration of 11 years refining an already pretty durable form factor.
I started by swapping floppies for PS 1.0, and used it professionally since.
Cut the umbilical last year. To replace it I need a few programs for different aspects of what PS did for my workflow, and it’s not 100%, but close, it’s waywayway cheaper, and now I can pollute my RAM with all kinds of tools at once without swap loading up hard.
Affinity did a pretty good job with muscle memory for switchers, though I don’t rely on it as much as I expected.
Fuck, Dean, lately all you seem to do on lemmy is gripe and insultingly correct people while getting it wrong yourself. Hope you feel better soon.
Maybe because minor offenses include cultural identity?
Oh, read some Octavia Butler then! Brilliant and, well, kinda what you just said. The Xenogenesis series.
Well we have a pretty unified sentiment of “fix your shit before you force us into guerilla resistance”. Lots of people here feeling pretty urgent about it.
Everyone seems to forget that sociopolitical change requires multiple fronts.
Protests are absofuckinglutely required even if they don’t appear to enact change directly or immediately. They serve multiple purposes in a comprehensive strategy that is built on coalition and education.
They simply aren’t big enough yet. Start there.
It’s a bullshit argument from a linguistic standpoint, not just political.
Like imperial/metric and fahrenheit/celsius, we just use the z vs s variably. Some people even switch between spellings for some words. I’m not sure there are even idiomatic or de facto rules about usage, since it seems to be an area of uncertainty for many.
groak is your password too?
Work on shifting USA culture from alienating individualism, which says “I did a thing, so don’t blame me”, to a collectivist understanding that society requires mutuality of action and responsibilities.
If my co-citizens fail to vote, or actively vote against our interests, then that’s on me, to the extent of my abilities to contribute.
TL;DR: talk to people about civics
Yes, go ahead. The parties in question in the article all live under the yoke of the DMCA, with vigorously litigious corporations patrolling the streets.
Sam_Bass’s comments are mainly mildly contemptuous one-liners. Condescending is part of the persona, and when others interpret that manner as right wing, it seems to affirm sam’s misanthropy.
8 years or so and kids will be wearing maga hats for Halloween costumes.
I fully believe that you are antifascist in sentiment. I also see that you are asking people to show some skepticism about media that is obscure in origin and used to evoke strong feelings.
I was a media literacy activist for decades and this was one of the basic points, that framing can reverse the meaning of an image or video or even story. So you are essentially just asking people to show a little media literacy, which is laudable.
Your manner of argument, in a highly charged subject, is tone deaf, which is what seems to have triggered the downvotes. Righteousness is druglike, the veracity of the recorded action is immaterial, and we all need the narrative that punching nazis is normal. Plus, actual nazi propaganda techniques include sowing doubt about their existence, making false equivalencies, minimizing their transgressions, etc., and the tone deaf manner made it look like you were doing that.
You know, the subcontinent has around a billion people on it? Who see it scattered all around, for thousands of years.
Those are good points but Torino as Turin is complicated, some folks there still call it that in dialect etc. and historically, run by the Lombards and all that.
English is terrible at this, Venice is Venezia, if you can say pizza you can say that.
