cwagner, to asklemmy in Why do Gezendong-style-tankies support Putin and Xi-Xinpin so much ?

I get called a tankie for pointing out the US role in destabilizing Ukraine and supporting the coup there than led directly to the civil war in Donbass.

Well, now I’m curious. I know next to nothing about this, I barely knew where Ukraine was before 2016, so please share ;)

cwagner, to asklemmy in given how little one vote matter, it seems to me that stripping felons of their right to vote is both petty and counterproductive if the point was to reform them into civic minded individuals ?

What? Just because they want people punished instead of rehabilitated does not mean that everyone should get capital punishment. What kind of weird straw man is that?

And the US does have capital punishment.

The “some way” seems to mostly be “fuck your rulings, court”.

if the point was to reform them into civic minded individuals ?

You are talking about the USA, right? I don’t think anyone sees the USA prison system as something targeting reform and rehabilitation.

Felons don’t lose their right to vote in most of Europe, and that right is actually seen as a human right by the EU.

cwagner, to asklemmy in What genres of music do Lemmites enjoy?

Industrial Rock: Obviously the godfathers of industrial rock ;) KMFDM: Don’t blow your top from 1988 Black Hole 2022. Older Oomph! songs are amazing I.N.R.I. vs. Jahwe 1996. Revolting Cocks are also fun Jack in the Crack 2006. A lot of Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails stuff arguably also belongs to the genre.

For metal, we have the link between them: Ministry who are pretty much for metal what KMFDM is for Rock Just One Fix 1992. Quite different is Dutch The Monolith Deathcult who are one of the few Industrial Death Metal bands Wrath of the Ba’ath 2008. Hanzel und Gretyl are a military party industrial metal band ;) Fukken Über Death Party 2006 (Note: they use Nazi Germany sound samples and imagery, though satirized). Pain’s Shut your Mouth 2001 is one of my all-time favorite songs and videos

Okay, I guess that’s enough for now ;)

cwagner, to asklemmy in Age Verification On Lemmy

That is only relevant for instances hosted in Germany, and also why feddit.de and discuss.tchncs.de (like most instances, though) defederated from NSFW instances.

Age gates are a joke and almost no one uses them, xhamster even flouts the law and changes the German subdomain whenever there is a new idiotic ISP DNS block.

Related anecdote: I was hosting an erotica forum (which I started doing when I was 14 or 15 …) when the law came to be, we had to get a Jugendschutzbeauftragter (youth protection officer; luckily something that existed “as a service” for like 5€/month) and implement an age gate. This killed the site.

cwagner, to asklemmy in What genres of music do Lemmites enjoy?

Folk, Folk-Rock, Folk-Metal, Classical, Progressive Death Metal, Grindcore, Melodic Black Metal with Death influences, Industrial Metal, Industrial Rock

Also, quite some metal outside those genres, but those would be the main ones. Oh, and some almost metal K-Pop (e.g. Dreamcatcher) via my wife ;)

I run away from Rap, RnB, most electronic music (Some few exceptions, and I also like the freaky stuff like Gabber and faster up to speedcore or terrorcore) unless it’s mixed with metal.

cwagner, to asklemmy in What password manager do you recommend?
  • Bitwarden: Paid, but with a free tier, ticks all your boxes
  • KeepassXC: Free, ticks all but browser access (great android and browser integration, though), syncs through any file sync service (WebDAV support makes for a nicer Keepass2Android experience, though)

Note that I’d not recommend Keepass for multiple users, I heard of sync issues there and you can’t do partial shares. Not an issue for me, though. With Bitwarden, the free tier offers 1 extra user.

Personally I don’t want to be dependent on some other service (like bitwarden hosting for me), but also not be reliant on my own server for something as important as passwords, that’s why I’ve been using Keepass(XC) for the last 7 years (thought it was longer, but it turns out I had LastPass premium till 2016. Fuckers).

cwagner, to asklemmy in People who work in food service or customer service: What’s the dumbest thing a customer ever insisted was “the law” or “illegal”?

I don’t, but I watch people working a food truck on twitch. Usually no issues, but the stream has a CTFO: “Cancel The Fucking Order” emote because of this guy: livestreamfails.com/post/7591

cwagner, to asklemmy in How often do you brush your teeth?

https://lemmy.cwagner.me/pictrs/image/7bdc1417-d46d-4afa-bdf1-458b6966bc1f.png

Essentially a brush for flossing, some find them easier to use than normal flossing, but there are also people like me who have super tight teeth and the floss can’t go through the top.

cwagner, to asklemmy in How often do you brush your teeth?

Once a day before going to bed, including interdental brushes.

My teeth are doing well, and probably relevant:

a) Keto, so next to no sugar/carbs in my diet
b) acidic drinks (coffee, tea, once a week quite some cola zero with some alcohol, half a bottle of wine once or twice a week), which makes brushing attack my teeth (I have light acid damage already)

cwagner, to asklemmy in What Will Be the Singularity Endgame: Utopia, Dystopia, Collapse, or Extinction? Why?

Utopia, I believe in the robots. It’s a bit of a shame none of us humans will be around, but that’s life.
