da musste ich jetzt an grönemeyer denken irgendwie :D

tbqh people are beginning to scare the shit out of me.

screaming about how fake news and misinformation campaigns are killing people, but acting like a fucking mob out to lynch anyone who said "something wrong" (for todays definition of wrong) or who doesn't adhere to what is deemed "right" and therefore is not human anymore. usually this is combined with rainbow-flags and some anti-fascism talk. feels like a mixture of lovecraft and kafka.

nothing worse than a mob of normies who think they are in power, always has been this way.

@velartrill if you like irish folk, radie peat is a pretty nice singer *. shes also with lankum, but their songs are a bit hit & miss for me. don't care too much for the singer they got there.

@skells danke für den link, liege ich also mit meiner einschätzung garnicht so weit entfernt von jemandem der sich damit auskennt ;)

@jrballesteros05 i think i've read that post some time ago.. yes i agree. that's why i'm on slackware and fvwm and build many of the things i need myself. even if that initially takes longer, i know that i don't have constand random things breaking then.

@thor i think everyone is just different in this, music can be highly immersive for me. most often it's the darker stuff, though be-bop can occupy my brain very well too. guess it's that dark music usually has more intesting musical structures.

@thor most music wants to evoke feelings. Portishead isn't happy music, too.

sometimes it's just nice to have music matching ones mood, at least someone else is doomy and gloomy then too ;)

a fun black metal occasion was doodswens surprise skatepark concert at roadburn. easily one of the best concerts i've been too. everything fit together. setting, band, audience. that was happy black metal :)

@thor
> personally they just make me feel, well, horror and disgust, and that’s not fun

that's the intended effect of black metal.

@velartrill m4 is really special :)

@trinsec you can use the same argument for the widespread collection of internet traffic data, there also is no sense in that. it's done regardless, because you "might use that later".

as i've said, it's probably not the case that they collect DNA samples, but you can't exclude the possibility and have to be aware of it. return envelopes could have micro dots printed on them as identification, and so on.

never trust more than you have to, after all the state is not interested in your personal wellbeing but in the wellbeing of the _whole_ state-construct.

e.g. that we have universal insurance etc. here can be viewed as just a measure to keep everything going smoothly.

i know that one has to be careful to not go "full retart" wrt these theories, but IMO it can't hurt to explore the possibilities as an exercise.

@trinsec there also was no sense in MKULTRA, gladio, communist hunt in the west, etc. :)

i'm somewhere between 2 and 3 too. i can't stand where mainstream linux is going. using an ubuntu feels like watching a rube-goldberg machine.

listening to richard hipp talking about that it's easier for him to just write stuff himself [1] was really nice. i don't feel as much as a nutjob anymore :)

i live in a rural area and am interested in growing my own food, so.. not that remote from the cabin in the forest :P

ps: can really recommend the changelog podcast, pretty interesting people and topics

@trinsec why not? it's an easy opportunity, and spooks are known for all kinds of weird operations 💁

i think trusting anyone who has power is misguided. i know that the idea of democracies is that the electorate holds the power. in reality, it seems to be quite different though.

i don't think that there is widespread DNA collection, but it's a perfect opprtunity if you want to.
