lolcatnip,

Also a peaceful tour group.

lolcatnip,

It’s so hard to see past a belief that nobody could possibly by interested in you that way.

lolcatnip,

Says the person seeking attention.

lolcatnip,

Have you seen broadcast TV? It was enshittified before the web even existed.

lolcatnip,

Question for the audience: what city do you most associate this style with? For me it’s Seattle, because that’s where I live, and ugh, it’s everywhere.

lolcatnip,

Strangers who use public spaces absolutely owe other people their consideration. It’s part of the price of admission to a public space. It’s not enforceable in practice but I’d be surprised if a certain level of being inconsiderate is even legal in most public spaces.

lolcatnip,

Why is Lib capitalized when Linux is case sensitive and Lib files aren’t a thing?

lolcatnip,

But a file handle can be attached to a TTY.

lolcatnip,

This whole thread is a great example of why I’m continually disappointed with Lemmy. Half the comments are just some variation of “capitalism bad”. I hate capitalism as much as the next guy, but it sure would be nice if people would stop grinding their axes for a few minutes to talk about the actual subject of the post. Or just not comment at all if they don’t have anything relevant to say.

Anarchy (as a political philosophy) is about an absence of coercion.

Capitalism is about the supremacy of property rights over all other rights, backed up by the threat of violence against anyone who doesn’t play along.

How anyone can think those two concepts are compatible is beyond me.

lolcatnip,

More than Discovery. Somewhat less than SNW. Not even close to Lower Decks.

lolcatnip,

It’s pronounced like yiff. I have spoken.

lolcatnip,

Signs like that wouldn’t be necessary if we weren’t living in a hypercapitalist dystopia.

can I be a Free Software advocate but still use non-free software??

I’m asking this because one time, while browsing the GNU website, I noticed that some of the members’ emails had “gmail” on them!! And I asked myself how would that be possible?? And I think other members of the FSF had Gmail too. Why? Richard Stallman is against Gmail, so why would those memberse use it?? Would that...

lolcatnip,

Free Software isn’t a religion. Or at least it shouldn’t be.

lolcatnip,

Moving goalposts is a concept that applies to debates. Choosing an operating system shouldn’t be a debate. It’s a personal choice, or sometimes a professional choice. Convincing people who don’t want to be convinced shouldn’t be anyone’s goal.

lolcatnip,

… because multiplication is commutative.

lolcatnip,

Obstacle? No. Annoyance? Yes.

lolcatnip,

Historians of the medieval era hate the term “dark ages”, even in relation to Europe. The whole notion that the Roman Empire went poof one day and then everything sucked for 1000 years is just cartoonishly wrong.

lolcatnip,

IMHO the bigger gotcha on the “states’ rights” lie is that the Confederate constitution gave states no more rights than the US constitution, while specifically denying one: the right to abolish slavery within their borders.

lolcatnip,

Who’s that dude and why is he standing next to a William Gibson quote?

lolcatnip,

YTA

lolcatnip,

If it’s opposite day, doesn’t that mean it’s not opposite day?

lolcatnip,

No amount of Hamas being wrong can make Israel’s response right.

lolcatnip,

Landlords and groceries can just raise prices to bring the cost of living up

Sigh. People make this braindead argument every single time this subject comes up. No they can’t. Markets do not work that way. It’s literally just a repackaged argument against minimum wage and it has been thoroughly debunked in that context.

lolcatnip,

So many great additions to my block list today!
