Completely understandable to establish borders to keep certain people out who might mean you harm or who might disrupt the peace of your community.
I mean, keeping ice out because they genuinely are a threat is cool. But some people would use this logic to keep out black people, because they falsely believe black people will disrupt the peace or mean them harm.
Conservatives don’t care about truth or internal consistency. They just want to harm the out-group.
If there’s any justice, everyone who works for Palantir will be lined up next to everyone who worked for ICE.
I was hoping step 2 was going to be “and then they don’t leave”, but your plan is pretty good too.
I am a few steps removed from his social circle. I’ve never met him, but a few friends of mine have. They all have said he’s a sincerely good person.
Now, that’s just a second hand story from the Internet, but for my part that’s helping me be optimistic about him.
Lol, yeah. If I saw an account labeled “American Nazi Party” with a blue check mark, I wouldn’t think “wow, Bluesky endorses Nazis” - I’d think “wow, this isn’t a satire account, these are actual Nazis, imma block them.”
I’d think “wow they let Nazis on here. Like they know about them and are cool with that. This place is trash”
I think ice are sincerely the more stupid chunk of the population. They literally don’t think good.
Yep. I’ve been during linux as my main desktop for maybe a year or two now, and it’s been fine. I don’t tinker with it. Most things just work.
The only thing that’s been a little dicey is mods for games, but I think I just need to figure out how like wine and proton prefixes work. It’s probably not hard, I just haven’t had a need lately.
There’s not to my knowledge a good way to run/test GitHub actions locally. So if I want to verify my change uploads the coverage report after the end of the pipeline, I have to run the whole thing. And then I find an error because on the GitHub runner blah blah is different
If you ever hope to sway a few Trump supporters, this is the only sort of way to do
People only change their mind from in-group pressure. (That and, sometimes, horrible personal trauma). It’s sad and stupid, but that’s how humans work.
If you want to change trumpers’ minds, you need them to see you as in-group. Otherwise emotions prevail and they won’t listen.
Why do fundamentalist Christians choose homosexuality specifically as their hill to die on?
It’s an easy out-group to identify and target.
I tell people about lemmy and send them links. Mostly people don’t care about anything. Abstract or remote things like “should a platform be owned by one asshole?” just doesn’t even enter their brain.
I’ve thought about switching. I do like the password saving and syncing between Android and desktop that Firefox does, and I’m not sure if the forks do that.
No regrets on switching to Linux here. Almost all of the time I just use the GUI to launch steam or Firefox. No AI nagging me (aside from whatever nonsense Firefox is up to)
Microsoft 365 is a worse name than Microsoft Office.
Been pretty happy with Linux for the past year or two.
A few minor problems here and there. I was struggling to figure out how to adjust the screen brightness (pop!_os defaults). Found a command line tool to adjust gamma - my girlfriend was a little baffled. Then I realized I should just adjust the brightness on the display itself, on the hardware.
I got the vaccine as soon as it was available. A good friend procrastinated. We saw their little nephew together and hung out indoors one day. The nephew got the flu. My friend got the flu. I seem to be fine. My friend was bedridden for about a week.
They got their flu and COVID shots after they recovered, at least.
I’d rather have health than maybe marginally better cooking experiences
I don’t understand how my coworkers are using windows. Like, they routinely have issues where it randomly reboots or gets sluggish. And it’s just flat out unfit for software development, unless you’re targeting windows specific stuff. They can’t even run our code locally.
Maybe some of the problems are janky security stuff to try to lock it down
