@tripu not to this degree though, companies usually have enough money to just buy their way out. do some diversity hires for a diversity team and have them do whatever they like in their little enclosed zone.

volunteer projects are destroyed by this shit. imagine if the FSF really just had kicked out RMS and gave in to all demands. they'd be like the FSFE now, a total woke club who usurped the good name of FSF.

@tripu what's more interesting to me is: why are almost exclusively long standing free software projects and organizations targeted by these bullshit actions? FSF, apache, those all are things objectively making the world a better place.

really makes you think ™️

Honest question: how exactly is just using the name of a group of people (marginalised or not), without any epithets or modifiers, disrespectful or offensive? (“because some members of that group have said so” isn't valid).

Here's one way to understand what has happened to the public university in the last 5 years:

My bookmarks used to look like this: library.ucla.edu, it.ucla.edu, hr.ucla.edu, etc.

Now they all look like this: ucla.zoom.com, ucla.app.box.com, ucla.healthnet.com, ucla.salesforce.com etc.

@Hyolobrika that's to be expected of governments though. they aren't bound by law, they just change the law or bend it. after all, what are you going to do, put them into jail?

a good rule of thumb is that your own government does at least the same kind of things they accuse their enemies of :)

@Hyolobrika
i care jack shit who does the propaganda and what is used for it.

either the government trusts the people to decide right.

or it doesn't. which means that your government thinks that you are too dumb to decide anything.

stop acting like someone other than your own government manipulates the actual voting process.

complaining about "influence campaigns" is just saying "my population is too dumb to decide". at this point you can completely stop the "democracy"-bullshit, you said that people need others to decide what's good for them as they are _too dumb_.

time to get an old one cylinder diesel engine tractor to burn some of that sweet sweet seed oil post EMP.
@Sultry @graf

@Sultry @graf The same thing's happening with cars. They don't need to secure your obedience when they can just continuously legislate manufacturers into doing their bidding anyways.

This is something that gets me really upset that I rarely hear people talking about. New units won't be constructed, and the supply of replacement parts will winnow out eventually. And then the only people that can have these things are those that can fabricate them from scratch themselves.

They're doing it to gasoline and diesel cars as we speak. They want everyone to have those useless electrics so that they can't have an army of angry ruralists packed into pickups overwhelm all the guard bases in an evening. And if that doesn't happen in the next 12 years, it's never going to.

Posting this because it can save some lives. If you use an empty list or dictionary as a default argument in #python, the same list will be used every time. So every call will just update the mutable element instead of re-defining it as empty 😱

Most IDEs will give you a vague warning (PyCharm does) but nothing more so it can be very sneaky and dangerous!

@xarvos NNTP rebrand incoming!

@feld the fact that BBC does not disavow any association with big black cock leads me to believe that they're okay with the association.

@CapitalB ah jetzt. ja, da stimme ich zu.

in deutschland haben auch viele einige politker ohne maske etc. gefeiert als normalbürger dafür als das equivalent eines volkverräters bezeichnet wurden.

Any cool alternatives to the 5-way switch out there that I might not be familiar with?

I am aware of the blackberry optical trackpads, and hall effect-based trackballs.

@moviemorgz@laserdisc.party because accomplishing something is good for your brain!

i think the difference is between wanting to finish but postponing and chastising yourself for not finishing :)
