The object of a system of authority is order, not justice. Justice matters only after injustice sufficiently compromises order.
So it’s working?
How so? I’m having to go out of my way to find and engage with people who have alternate viewpoints & lifestyles because they tend to get pushed out of / banned from “regular” communities. That’s the exact problem being discussed here.
In the broader context of the meme itself people start thinking they are in the majority because they are participating in online communities that have been carefully curated over time to silence anyone who disagrees.
I visit .ml and while I do occasionally get cross threaded with them they are, overall, not terrible. Yes some of the people associated with their instance can be over the top but by and large they are just people with a different viewpoint.
I tried to do the same with hexbear but ultimately couldn’t, which may be my problem more than theirs.
We are, but at the same time having parallel communities helps with that
Does it though? Seems to me that we just end up with two echo chamber communities where there’s no cross pollination of ideas and no challenges to our viewpoints. It’s good that people still have a place to interact but self segregation along ideological lines isn’t healthy for anyone over the long term.
As an example it’s why I’m still subscribed to communities over on .ml. They challenge my base reality and expose me to viewpoints that I wouldn’t consider on my own.
Every lonely man who doesn’t fit the played out internet stereotype of an incel. You likely see several of them a day.
Whew Lad, you must be projecting.
I’m a man, I’m lonely. Why? Because I spent the last 30 years building a career and my social circle is tiny. My personal hobbies and interest took a back seat to building my company, helping my wife through a 2nd and then 3rd Masters Degree, and raising my Son.
Personal Hygiene? Showered at least every day. Dress Well? I’m in collars, slacks, and dress shoes at least 5 days a week. Smell Good? Yeah, got it covered. Smile? Yeah, got it covered. Show Respect? Yeah, got it covered. Practice Good Manners? Pretty rich coming from you.
Go outside and stop blaming women for everything.
You have a child’s understanding of the world around and lack empathy. Go read a book.
This meme is pathetic and offensive.
It’s pretty easy in both places actually, just don’t talk about politics.
Turns out our Grandparents were pretty damn smart with that “Don’t talk about Religion and Politics” rule.
Attack began in May of 2023. That ain’t Musk.
Attack has been ongoing since May of 2023. That ain’t Musk.
This is why I started “testing” Linux Mint on all my personal machines 6 months ago.
With that said the training data that Copilot Vision could generate may begin a sea change in both AI and the PC industry.
Markets will still consider it a win if Trump does not else good in the next 4 years except for extend the “tax cuts and jobs” billionaire and corporate handouts.
Of the Top 10 most profitable companies in the world 8 of them are American. Those 8 companies lost enough Market Capitalization in the last 24 hours to fund a mid-sized Country. “The Markets” are not fucking happy at all.
Inflation from the Fed helicoptering money around was probably the most predicted thing that’s happened in the last 50 years. It should have surprised literally no one.
It’s also no surprise that it hasn’t gone away. That’s called deflation and every central banker on the planet would rather be eviscerated with a rusty spoon than allow deflation to happen.
Setting up a dual wan edge device with fail-over isn’t difficult, it’s the paying for two ISPs part that most people don’t want to do.
It’s similar to using Deep Freeze on Windows where outside of specific writeable directories anything that shouldn’t be changed isn’t allowed to change.
This pen / pencil thing has been corrected so many times for so many decades that it’s ludicrous people are still bringing it up.

Random bits of pencil lead floating around in a high tech environment is such a poor idea that even the Soviet’s quit using pencils once Fisher’s Space Pen was available. A pen which Fisher itself paid to develop and then sold to both NASA and the Soviet Space Program.
I have my smoke / CO detectors, KIdde Z-Wave units, tied to my Home Assistant setup. HA will push a notifier to my phone if the smoke or CO alarm goes off and it’s able to track the battery life and let me know I need to change them before they start beeping.

That is a very cool project that I’d never heard of. Thanks for sharing!
Tesla could have just dumped paperwork on a less busy area and said file all this shit.
I wondered about that myself but I’m not familiar with how Tesla dealerships operate, especially since it’s Canada.
You are correct, this wasn’t targeted at me and I didn’t fully absorb the content before replying to it. I’m going through a rough patch and it clouded me for a bit.
There’s a chasm of difference between empathizing with a Klansman and empathizing with people who followed a normal, and I use that word loosely, cultural track. The two are so distinctly different that comparing them is absurd.
That guy and the way he lives his life are disgusting, do not associate me with them.
