The day after: “Republicans break pinky swear – “No one could have seen this coming” says Fetterman; Democrats sigh, throw up their hands, and collectively go ‘whaddayagonnadoaboutit?’; Schumer writes strongly worded letter.”
where once I dedicated myself to upsetting dipshits on the internet, I now prioritize upsetting dipshits in government.
please do be warned, I’m still very good at upsetting dipshits on the internet. if you’re here because you’re upset, well… oops.

Oompa Loompa told the nation
have no fear of escalation,
I am trying everyone to please
Though it isn’t really war
We’re sending 3,000 more
To help save Trump from Epstein


Whatever this person is smoking, snorting, swallowing, injecting, and/or boofing, I want some. I’m already self-medicating with as much pot as I can afford to get through this assclown fuckery we call an administration; I want/need stronger drugs that enable this kind of magical thinking and optimism.


seems more likely, being it’s 4chan; that they’re 100% aware and in-favor of the slaves, just that they believe they’ll always be in that lucky 10%. Same goes for idolizing Super Earth – it’s never them that’ll be sent to a freedom camp, until it happens, it’s always something that happens to someone else who “probably deserved it”


“amazing quality of life”
Sure, if you’re the right kind of super citizen.


see my other comment, the framework includes “MPP 2.0 and USI 2.0 stylus support”, so it should be able to use other pens it if the one they sell isn’t to your liking.


The Framework 12 lists “MPP 2.0 and USI 2.0 stylus support”, so you can use other pens with it, I think. Your stylus won’t be repairable, but perhaps if you complain at Framework loudly enough they might eventually release a higher quality stylus themselves.
If it’s a limitation of the machine’s hardware/the protocol they support, complain at them for that instead. I’m not an artist so I don’t actually find myself needing/using a pen often, thus I don’t know whether that means it has good or bad pen support, but it certainly sounds like it supports SPs.


The Framework 12 actually seems really ideal for this, being that it has a 360 degree hinge and works properly with Linux.
It’s also expensive as fuck, but then, you can repair and upgrade it, and I’ve heard Surface tablets are an absolutely miserable experience to try repairing. So up to you if the upfront cost is worth less pain down the road.


it continues to amaze me that we can cure diseases, go to the moon, reflect on all of human history, and still the “best” we can collectively achieve in societal progress is elevating a select few while crushing the majority underfoot. The means of repression differs from feudalism to capitalism to communism, but the underlying failure remains constant: someone benefits, most do not.


I am so goddamn tired of having to vote for the least awful choice instead of even a decent choice. Compared to the literal snake oil sales king of TV, almost anyone else looks good – but we can see how that’s worked out.


every now and again, I fantasize about living in the far north of Canada with fiber internet and a warm cabin miles away from the nearest living soul.
Then I remember reality, where I am poor, gay, disabled, American, and probably going to die here either to an Iranian-linked terror attack or my own increasingly christofascist government.
I don’t necessarily hate everybody, but I don’t go out of my way to interact with others that much already and over the past couple years I’ve felt far less inclined to, both online and in real life. Nowadays I mostly just interact with pets, family, and the people I have to interact with to earn money. Lemmy’s a nice, impersonal social outlet. People in person aren’t necessarily more trustworthy, the veneer of civility is just thicker.


That’s an insult to President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho, and you will speak of that fictional moron with respect. He was still a leader that wanted the best for his countrymen, and knew well enough to defer to the smartest man in the room. That’s about as far from Trump as you can get in terms of “vibes”.


I choose to blame the stroke.
Actual, factual brain damage is no joke, and there was a reason he won the election he was in. He was genuinely not insane/traitorous before his stroke.
The more cynical option is that he was always like this and merely wanted to screw over the leftists of Pennsylvania by running under a D ticket, but frankly I think brain damage from stroke leading to sudden onset fascist sympathies is both more likely (brain damage can have really fucking weird effects) and way funnier in a certain context


Sure, but you said intolerance for any non-Linux OS, and that’s just simply not true as there are several non-Linux OS’s we love. If you were to say Lemmy is intolerant specifically of Windows, that would be more accurate, but I’m also aware of at least one subset of die-hard Windows aficionados on Lemmy who vehemently hate Linux. Definitely a minority, but they’re there.
Also, the db0 instance is pro-AI as I recall, so anyone who’s keen on that sort of thing is (to my knowledge) welcome there.


On the contrary, I believe everyone here holds a special place in their heart for TempleOS, even if it’s not a practical choice. Also most everyone here has mad respect for anyone rocking some other niche nerd shit like FreeBSD or ReactOS etc. (I do, anyways)
Mostly it’s just that Windows has sucked for at least a decade and macOS is just starting on its suck arc.


being the “errrrrrm, ackshually, you just committed a logical fallacy 🤓” dweeb in response to someone else being questioned whether they’re a fascist sympathizer, when that doesn’t actually invalidate what I said at all, when I wasn’t even talking to you – that’s an extraordinary kind of self-own, you do know that, right?
I’m gonna engage with fascists and fascist sympathizers on the same level that they engage in good-faith debate in – that is to say, on whatever level I want to at any given moment in time. If they aren’t one, let them explain what innocent ideas they’ve expressed that are so poorly received, that have lead them to believe Lemmy is “lacking tolerance and acceptance” – we’ve got entire instances dedicated to porn, anarchists, AI lovers, tankies, trans people, furries, the French – I’m very eager to hear what could possibly be Too Spicy For Lemmy that is not something along the lines of “I want to gas undesirables” or trending towards that direction.


far right: we’re gonna exterminate entire social groups because they’re impure
far left: we’re gonna get everyone’s basic needs met, and do everything possible (including violence) to stop the far right from exterminating anyone.
You: I literally cannot tell you two apart
Incredible, thank you for sharing.



usually whenever someone complains about this sort of thing, it’s because they got told off for espousing fascist bullshit, so please, elaborate for us.
Dealing with that level of performative bullshit is genuinely agonizing to me. LinkedIn is like my idea of personal hell – everyone, everywhere, up their own ass and completely full of shit, all the time – and I have resolved to never have a net worth or job title that would necessitate using it.
That’s what all the crazy ones say.
