I mean, couldn’t we all just join the KKK and vote in a more moderate grand dragon?

A friend of mine puts it this way: “I don’t vote for who’s turn it is to lead the KKK either.”

You’ve taught me this lesson only several comments ago. My eternal gratitude for this impartment of zen-like wisdom.

It’s the exact same thing, sweaty. All things are the same. Every person is the same. Every opinion is the same. Every death is the same.

That makes you just as bad as Charlie Kirk 🥸

I don’t give a shit what you think of me.

Charlie’s job was propaganda. He laundered the fascist ideology into mainstream discourse. If my coworker said some of the awful shit Charlie said, I’d just think he was a racist piece of shit, but I wouldn’t celebrate his murder (nor would I mourn it). But Charlie had an audience of millions, and was paid handsomely to spread his fascist propaganda. I opened my nicest bottle of scotch when I heard the news.

Looks like the shooter was also a fascist (groyper Nazi), so I’m not really cheering for him, but I am glad Charlie’s dead.

I’m comfortable with the comparison. If you insist on mythologizing the Nazis as a singular historical phenomenon, you will never recognize them anywhere else. Kirk professed Christianity, while mocking and condemning empathy as “new-age” and damaging. He called for the marginalization, incarceration and even murder of trans people. He was a cheerleader for the large scale paramilitary occupations of major cities. There are many examples of Kirk not simply “having conservative opinions”, but being paid handsomely by billionaires to amplify and normalize these messages of hate. That you think of him as someone “who was just right wing” illustrates the success he had in bringing his evil views into mainstream discourse.

Baby Goebbels.

I can think of few things more boring than databases. I just want my files synced and stored.

Love my Navidrome server, though I use Substreamer on Android since it’s “free” and free.

I already don’t have any of those things on my de-googled android. I’m used to it. Sure, they would be nice, but it’s not a dealbreaker that I have to tap a card instead of my phone, or use Bluetooth instead of carplay, or type on my phone instead of talking to it.

A thing about Linux is that there’s usually like 10 different ways to accomplish something. If you hit a dead end in terms of your ability or tolerance for frustration… just go back to square one and find a different approach. For games, I recommend starting with Steam.

Same here. Started with Feisty Fawn in 2007. Had so much fun with compiz lol.

I’m not a developer, but I want to use apps that aren’t available on the official store.

I follow my conscience, and I work hard to live up to my principles. If I didn’t, I would have a hard time living with myself.

Aww that’s very sweet. I know exactly where and when I met my partner though, and I could show up to the meeting way better prepared for our life together :)

Most people don’t need it. Just age naturally. It’s OK!

Me, a hacker, targeting anyone who says they use Arch btw.
