I have run into too many instances of billionaire defenders on lemmy.world and kbin.social for this community NOT to exist. I get into strange arguments (where, from my perspective, I am just defending common sense or open standards) with frothing fascist, astroturfing fanbois about their chosen billionaire and I felt like I had nowhere to go, “look at this fucking corporate cuck”. ;)

Is it me or did I create this community within the last hour?

You’re arguing semantics here, weird nerd. Who cares what you call what I did to bring this community into reality? I pressed a few buttons and the thing that was in my mind now exists in the world and is impossible for you to do anything about.

Did you want to add anything of value to the conversation?

Let’s characterize it!

I won’t abide stanning for the billionaire class or calls to impotent civility. I very much have in my heart EXACTLY the spirit of what /r/HailCorporate was and if you doubt that, you are exactly the type of corporatist cuck that I created this community to reveal.

Now to characterize your privileged perspective:

“I have no sympathy for marginalized groups, quite literally pleading for their lives. If they wanted my sympathy, they should have done so more politely!”

demesisx,
@demesisx@infosec.pub avatar

I’m sure we will have false positives. Luckily, having your comment or post shared on hailcorporate doesn’t disqualify you from anything.

I’ll hopefully be able to recognize witch hunts for what they are. If this community isn’t for you, please exercise your right to ignore it. :)

Are you being ironically obtuse?

What are the best steps to reduce the wealth of billionaires?

There are a myriad of news articles here on Lemmy that display the abhorrent influence billionaires have on our society (especially the US, where I reside). I consistently read comments where the posters appear hopeless and despondent of the situation, while others jokingly refer to the guillotine....

Are you kidding?

735 would take like 20 minutes in parallel if all of the wage slaves got together wherever each billionaire is and gave them what they have coming. And boy do they have it coming!

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible (by buying up our politicians, governments, and news-media) will make violent revolution inevitable.

There are tons of them on hexbear.net and other niche instances.

I don’t blame them. They get name-called by centrists from world all the time. I started subscribing to their communities heavily when they came to my defense multiple times in comments where I felt like I was the only person arguing for humanity over the grinding gears of corporatism. I consider myself as leftist as they are (with a slight tinge of crypto tech bro that they so loathe…pretty sure they shadow banned me for being too tech bro🤣) and they, in turn, treat me like an asshole outsider. They’re pretty much the hipsters of the fediverse but they’re also squarely on the side of selfless human cooperation while outsiders accuse them of being “tankies”.

I would say one thing in their defense: they are straight up communists but before you go acting like they’re squarely pro-China tankies, they will tell you that

communism has never existed exactly as Marx described. So, many criticisms of it are disingenuous bullshit.

As a moderator who did that and stopped, that’s not the case. What it actually was: we didn’t want to go back to Reddit ever again. So, we desperately tried to lift the quality posts and communities from stubborn holdouts to have that quality come with us.

IMO, it was a failure because people were so anti-bot. But that’s why I was taking part in moving everything over from there. I had no financial motives. I was just hoping to 100% boycott Reddit and was looking to draw their communities away from that utterly enshittified platform.

I failed but I haven’t been back to Reddit.

Agreed! Almost every single repost my bot made had like ZERO engagement! 😅

Energy Efficient X Compositors?

Hi! I’m currently using XFCE on my laptop, I was previously using Compify as my compositor (XFWM is quite rough), but stopped when I noticed I could no longer get through the day on one charge. My battery life doubled when switching back to XFWM. So I was wondering if anyone knows of any X compositors that have a focus on...

demesisx,
@demesisx@infosec.pub avatar

I use picom with XMonad and it’s pretty damned efficient.

demesisx,
@demesisx@infosec.pub avatar

I think I see NixOS in your future. ;)

demesisx,
@demesisx@infosec.pub avatar

I guess you like to waste a whole day getting your machine back to the exact old configuration then.

demesisx, (edited )
@demesisx@infosec.pub avatar

You should check out XMonad. It’s the only formally verified tiling WM.

I got it working with NixOS and have my whole config online.

github.com/harryprayiv/nix-config/…/config.hs

I did some weird stuff with a custom Hue CLI Module for my lab. It’s a fun little, fairly kludgey example of something you could spin up super easily.

In Haskell (much of the time), they say if it compiles it ships! It’s a lazily-evaluated language which lends itself well to a config and it slots right into NixOS quite well since Nix is also a lazily evaluated purely functional language.

infosec.pub/comment/5743487

I linked a definition to that a few comments down.

I also run a community on XMonad: infosec.pub/c/xmonad

Don’t be that second guy, use Nix.

I agree with OP, but the whole confrontation could’ve been avoided in the first place if all dependencies were spelled out to the letter in the form of a flake.nix with the latest accompanying flake.lock file.

demesisx,
@demesisx@infosec.pub avatar

Are you sure about that?

demesisx,
@demesisx@infosec.pub avatar

Guilty. But substitute Mormonism with the proper way to do things.

demesisx,
@demesisx@infosec.pub avatar

I think it’s funny. We are the new “I use Arch, BTW” and I’m happy to embrace it.

demesisx,
@demesisx@infosec.pub avatar

Agreed. That and I hate Docker with a burning passion.

demesisx,
@demesisx@infosec.pub avatar

Nix flakes are all I need to completely replace Docker.
