Lemmy.ml is a server that primarily hosts “tankies”, a.k.a. authoritarian communists. You know those Americans who blindly praise the U.S. and act like it can do no wrong, but treat Russia and China like the spawn of satan? Imagine that but reversed and you have lemmy.ml.

It’s not even the political ideology that’s problematic (I would never recommend blocking someone solely over conflicting beliefs), it’s the authoritarian extremism and blind worship of dictatorial states. The whole server is a propaganda machine and gives the vibe of X/Twitter if it were left wing instead of right.

Looks like your sink is using the wrong firmware. Have you tried using modprobe to switch to the legacy one? The faucet won’t work properly but your dishes should at least load

Please tell me someone gets this lol

I can dream lol

Really? That’s new, I signed up this morning and it just worked. They must be being hammered by people leaving Discord too

Fluxer.app looks promising. It’s still in very early dev, but according to the site:

These features are coming soon:

• …
• Opt-in E2EE messaging
• E2EE calls
• Federation
• …

The public beta looks pretty good but it’s currently very slow. There is a large refactor going on so I’m hoping for the best, but even in its current state it seems to support many of Discord’s biggest features quite well.

I wonder how he got it…

I don’t think blocking out the sun is the answer to global warming lol

Having lived through 3 partial/total solar eclipses, even a small shift in the amount of light really fucks with the rhythm of the entire environment. Birds stopped chirping entirely at noon last time. We’d just be replacing one form of global disaster with another.

Not to mention we’d end up fully saturating the available orbital space around earth, causing constant satellite crashes and the complete inability to launch rockets through the mesh and debris. At a certain point the satellites would cease to function entirely through all the trash orbiting earth and at that point we’d have essentially walled ourselves off from ever safely exploring space. It’s a terrible idea all around

That uses the non-standard raspbian.might_work_with_the_right_power_supply=prettyplease

Dude linux.works was deprecated a few kernel versions ago in favor of gnu-linux-x86_64-kernel.does_boot to avoid ambiguity and ensure nobody knows what the hell they’re doing anymore

Just RTFM smh

This post is about gcc

I see what you’re getting at, and perhaps my definition of patriotism is more wistful than the reality of it, but I’ve always thought of patriotism as similar to family. You’re more devoted to them because you are closer to them and there’s a certain want to preserve that alongside the places where it happened, y’know? And just like family, sometimes you have to override that devotion when the relationship becomes too toxic to maintain.

I feel like that’s where I’m at with the US. I’ve always been a naturalist at heart and I adore the landscapes of the country in particular, but it’s like a toxic parent. I try my best to pursue reform but I’m nearing a point where I’ll just have to leave and cut my losses. But it is hard because I legitimately do love this country, just…not the government or the people who run it.

The problem ain’t just the Trump administration, it’s systemic and I wish more people here understood that. I just think it would be better for the whole world if the US could get its shit together instead of every person with a moral compass abandoning it to its inevitable doom and the subsequent suffering of everyone too screwed by the system to leave.

I care about the welfare of every living breathing human, but tbh I think fixing the US (however that’s done) would benefit a hell of a lot of people in a whole lot of places. This country’s global military presence is so pervasive and damaging, it’d be nice to put a stop to it.

If the want to truly fix this place makes me not patriotic, so be it, but I’ve always seen that as the definition of patriotic. Maybe I’m just naive tho

I never said that? The difference is as an American citizen I actually have some say in the welfare of Americans but by no means mistake me for a nationalist. I think you may need to touch up on the difference between patriotism and nationalism

Patriotism is defined as “love of country”, yes, but also “devotion to the welfare of one’s compatriots”. I personally believe there is nothing more patriotic than doing everything possible to root out a corrupt and harmful government.

I actually think the USA is a beautiful place and I want to protect it from those who would destroy it. The word you’re thinking of is jingoism, which is honestly a serious problem here

And it’s also AI

Gneurshk

Lmao

Fascinating

This is the most cursed thing I’ve ever laid eyes on

I mean you’re not wrong, but assuming everyone is like you is a critical thinking problem, not an American problem. I just think it’s particularly noticeable in Americans because there are a lot of them on the platform and the dumb ones are loud. Doesn’t really seem like a problem worth geofencing an entire nation; just block the idiots.

I get it, the US fucking sucks. But I didn’t choose to be from here and I’m doing my best with what I’ve got. The fediverse has been one of the only somewhat sane spaces I can get away from the nonstop propaganda machine.

Block the American communities all you want, but many of us are here to escape the bullshit, not spread it. Sorry our discussion of our politics in communities dedicated to our politics bothers you I guess? You don’t really seem to me to understand the point of the fediverse
