Oh, 100%. I’m mostly a server admin these days, I don’t do much software dev stuff anymore. As such, it’s mostly powershell or python scripts. Using a dedicated IDE for fairly small scripts isn’t really needed .

That’s a great way of putting it and definitely something I was guilty of doing when this stuff first emerged and I was experimenting with it.

Nowadays, I only use our internal LLM to generate boilerplate or simple scripts that wouldn’t take me more than 5-10 minutes to write myself to save some tedium. I think that’s what most actual devs/admins do with it nowadays, if they interface with the tech at all.

The Death of Stalin.

I’ve heard it’s quite good, haven’t gotten around to watching it myself yet.

But… The business owners stating that the proposed street was dangerous is exactly what you just quoted…? I didn’t say you were worried about the business owners.

Never had an issue with that word, but God damnit if “occasion” doesn’t get me just about every time. “Is it 1 C and 2 S’s, or 2 C’s and 2 S’s…?” I remember after writing it down wrong, of course. Stupid English.

Whoa, you’re upsetting the pitchfork mob by agreeing that the business owners might just have a genuine concern.

I hope this story is true. It’s still funny as hell, regardless!

I put it in quotes because I wasn’t meaning it to be so exact.

But whatever, I’m done arguing with enlightened centrists.

I don’t disagree. I was simply providing context, which the other comment I responded to wasn’t addressing.

People had literally burned down police stations and mass looting was occurring. Their police force was completely overrun. Don’t act like it was remotely the same thing.

I have several friends in Minneapolis that are very progressive. There were tons of people who were legit scared during periods of that for numerous reasons. It wasn’t “acceptable,” but what the fuck else do you do when law and order begins to completely breakdown?

Yes, because those circumstances were completely the same as what’s going on now.

Don’t remember the last time the Democrats had military storming our streets and black bagging US residents en masse and deporting them to war zones like South Sudan or Libya despite those people having zero ties to those countries.

This reeks of fucking shitpost right-wing propaganda.

Edit: here come all the “but the US/CIA did all this fucked up stuff to other countries under Dems, too!”

JFC, the current “president” who is GOP literally yells about wanting to deport/arrest political opponents, censor TV personalities (e.g. Colbert, Fallon, etc), openly calls to suppress political opposition in voting, openly supports ignoring the courts when they interfere with his blatantly unconstitutional actions, etc etc .

Yes, the Dems aren’t fucking innocent, but to pretend they’re the same as a party that’s openly trying to “take back the Nazi word” is fucking insane.

Yeah, banning by IP from such a big website is pretty silly on the site admin’s part. Tons and tons of places share 1 to a small handful of IPs (e.g. apartment complexes, school dorms, etc).

A hotel in Augusta, Georgia. I had to come into town for a 2 week training event for my job. Unfortunately, it was occurring at the same time as the Master’s tournament, so finding a hotel was virtually impossible. The one my work booked for me was easily in the top 3 grossest accommodations I’ve ever had, and I’ve deployed to combat zones in the Army. Waking up in the middle of the night to my bed and walls covered in roaches still haunts me to this day. And when I say covered, I don’t mean a few. I mean covered.

It’s not any worse than Chrome, which isn’t saying much. Firefox is still the best user friendly browser, IMO.

Goo Gone is what I’ve used for years. It’s quite effective at the getting rid of the super stubborn ones.

You’ve never tasted your own blood from like bloody lips and stuff?

Is it, though? I get that they have a similar protein composition or whatever, but there’s no way the taste is anywhere near the same. Then again, I guess I’ve never eaten fully raw eggs before (not sure if a semi-runny sunny side up on toast counts, heh).

You’re putting words in my mouth, dude. I was calling out the irony of their hypocrisy. I didn’t say anything about not donating. But, whatever, you’re obviously arguing in bad faith, so I’m done here.

I feel that’s missing the forest for the trees in regards to what we’re discussing, though. Enforcing rules is one thing; actively enforcing the suppression of any dissent of opinion is censorship, full stop. It isn’t “curating” communities when you are aggressively enforcing all those communities stay in lockstep to your political views.

But yes, federation helps to mitigate the completeness of that censorship. However, the original devs of Lemmy itself created the .ml instance, so it’s kind of an ironic situation, which is why I bothered replying in the first place to the original comment.
