Not if we quit tolerating arrogance and insensitivity.

Though i’m against criminalizing protesters, i do think people who do bad things on their job also deserve a private life.

If public officials don’t like how they’re being treated by the public, they can easily remedy the situation by fucking resigning.

Otherwise, they deserve no quarter and I have no sympathy at all.

You don’t move the Overton window in the direction you want by preemptively moderating yourself. You move it by taking a more extreme position perhaps even than you actually want, in order to normalize it.

If all you want is file sharing, like the blog post author wants, I don’t understand what’s wrong with something like a plain old SFTP server.

The weaker (permissive instead of copyleft) license alone is a reason to be suspicious of both the project and OP. At this point, it’s just telegraphing plans to eventually go proprietary and enshittify.

with hidden post history

only in my very niche communities that aren’t likely to be targeted for this kind of bullshit.

I think that’s a point that deserves more attention. Considering the “long tail” of niche communities and that the propaganda surely isn’t evenly distributed, it’s very possible that the big default and political subs are mostly propaganda and other shilling at this point.

WTF is “thretentiousness?”

Ah, well, in that case, furniture-making should definitely be among your new hobbies.

You live in a geodesic dome house. Clearly, you already don’t care what anybody else thinks!

(That’s kinda awesome, BTW.)

I will never forgive TiVo for opening the door on Linux DRM (“Tivoization”).

The fact that the result can apparently still manage to show up in a store cheaper than peaches grown and packed locally just goes to show how fucked up the economics in Argentina and Thailand are.

Of the grandparent commenter’s list, civic advocacy, hands down. It is infinitely the most important.

'Tis the season for over-the-top programmable RGB holiday light displays choreographed to music.

(I haven’t gotten to the “choreographed to music” part of the hobby yet.)

You need a bunch of WS2812 or similar LEDs, esp32 microcontrollers, wires, power supplies, mounting hardware, etc.

They’re grasping at straws to scapegoat assorted “woke” shit for low birth rates because it couldn’t possibly be late-stage capitalism causing people not to want to have kids.

They aren’t. Your question has no valid answer because the assumption it presupposes is false.

To be fair, Github sucks at conveying that sort of info to begin with, and OP linked to a particular plugin instead of the main project. Once you actually get to the main project’s main page / README file, a “dashboard that displays your feeds” seems straightforward enough.

I’m not sure how true “often” is, but they’re certainly well-represented among the sort who end up featured in this community.

And that’s why the Basic Income should be Universal.
