I’ve been trying. Unfortunately, people in power seem totally unresponsive to the needs of the people. Don’t know what the optimal solution for that is, but historically, the solution is usually something you’re not allowed to encourage on social media.

Hmm. Self-organizing projects whose workers work on them entirely based on their need to be done, and the results freely distributed to anyone who wants a copy?

Literal fascism, obviously.

What is there to think about? I complain about people who support Soviet-style dictatorships having full control over online platforms moderating exactly as one would expect, and I get told by Random Guy On The Internet #368,452 that I’m apparently a hypocrite because wanting action to be taken to stop authoritarians from controlling social networks makes me the real authoritarian or something. All this to “suit my agenda”, which in this case is wanting to be able to say that authoritarians are bad.

God forbid I find arguments like that incoherent and unworthy of taking seriously.

I’m so bored of that line. At least come up with something different.

Yep. Something needs to change if we want Lemmy to be something besides a place for Soviet simps to hide from criticism. Authoritarianism cannot be tolerated.

If these fuckers get their way, I will, at some point, start seeing murder cases where the perpetrator is a woman and default to thinking that the charges are bullshit because of this.

Nice.

Most of my exposure to HD2 before picking it up was either streamers playing it or people complaining they couldn’t play it because the servers were well over capacity.

The existence of /r/Jailbait, /r/GreatApes, and /r/[N-slur] testify to this.

Is it possible to chroot from a livedisk and reinstall systemd from that? I’d imagine the Internet connection would work just fine.

Linux let’s you f’up your OS but it also let’s you fix it, it’s just a skill issue.

Yeah, there’s something about Linux that makes me feel like if something breaks in it, the only reason I can’t fix it personally is because I lack the skills to fix the problem. Just feels nice, really.

Chrome had a bigger ad budget and had a good amount of hype when it was released, since Google was still well-regarded when it was released.
