good cop, bad cop routine

hopefully with life rafts 🙏

I wonder what the total amount Israel and its affiliate groups spend on PR and influence campaigns. Birthright trips alone probably cost a fortune.

They plagiarized the plagiarism machine!

I think the ActivityPub sphere needs to transition from “fedi replica of X service” to “Y component that would be useful to existing fedi services”.

Event planning is one of them. Simple, encrypted one-to-one DMs is another. Moderation tools is a big one too.

Would be a shame if each software has to independently reimplement the same features desired by each flavor of threaded reply service.

I like this as an idea, but there’d need to be some sort of automatic hooking for me to want to use it. eza/lsd are good enough for ls output for me.

Doing stuff like this is much more cozy in nushell, since piping is a lot less messy

I find myself writing way less stuff like this since making the switch…partially because they output of a lot of builtins is already pretty.

is there a tool that also works with other git forges like GitLab and Forgejo?

rare blur setup that both looks good and practical without being super tacky. What is the blur algo?

Sounds good in theory.

But I’ve had so many issues with D-Bus fucking shit up on my systems that I’d be very reluctant to hinge my only way of recovering from failures upon something so brittle.

Granted, D-Bus hasn’t given me any trouble since moving to NixOS. The hell of trying to recover my arch systems from a perpetually failing D-Bus would make me very apprehensive to adopt this. I could see myself using run0 by default, but keeping sudo-rs or doas around with a much stricter configuration as a failsafe until the run0 + D-Bus + PolKit is absolutely stable and bulletproof.

You got 8 downvotes. Hexbears can’t even downvote

I knew it was fake, but I choose to believe it’s real.

there would be 20 congressional hearings about this if it were Ukraine or Taiwan

all media is propaganda. the question is for whom

“settlers” is the perfect word to describe their social role. Far better than “Nazi” or “fascist” which ditch precision for emotional weight.

They are behaving as genocidal maniacs because of their social role within settler colonialism, not because each person believes in fascism or because they’re just behaving “fascistly” or whatever.

They may be indistinguishable at times, but the word “settlers” paints quite an accurate picture of what is happening: Manifest Destiny or Lebensraum.

draft dodging is good actually. sending people to die in war is what makes them despicable.

You are looking at ethics and morality from an individualistic perspective, not a systemic perspective. People opposed to landlords are more concerned with the latter. This is an insignificant edge case needed to construct a situation where the individual and social ethics diverge and has little relevance to policy decisions.
