@pthenq1 maybe then you shouldn't have voted for the two absolute worst choices given the nature of the violence... the violence was about black oppression and police brutality and who do you vote for, a segragationist president who started his whole career to keep segregation alive, and his VP a police officer whith a horrific human rights record... literally the two worst people if you actually wanted to solve anything.

@pthenq1 Notice you said nothing about the months of burning down federal buildings the democrats did before the election...

@icedquinn

Not sure I'd blame that on BLM so much as democrats and liberals.. but yea.. My city was literally so bad the skys were black from fires for weeks as democrats and liberals burned government buildings down, and that was across the whole nation... what happened at the capitol doesnt even come close to that.

@pthenq1

@icedquinn

Milking and exaggerating things to absolute absurdity is pretty much all they do really. So yea.

@pthenq1

@pthenq1 I will take 0.0001% of republicans storming a capitol in response to the police pulling their people out of a crowd and beating them in front of them (the events that were happening right before the crowd surged) anyday compared to democrats where 50%+ elected a segregationist who didnt want schools to turn into a "racial jungle"

Looking over the history of my old Ethereum wallet... back in january of 2017 it had 186 ETH tokens in it (this wasnt my largest wallet i had a bigger one at the time mind you)... I had cashed it out then for about 2,000 USD, I thought i was just cleaning up an old wallet (my main wallet at the time had 10x that much at least)... anyway that 2,000USD I cashed out for, if I would have held that ethereum I would have nearly 400,000$ today... man that stings!

FUCK YEA! I mentioned a few days ago I had found 10,000$ out of nowhere... it was on a Ethereum hardware wallet from years ago and it was so old it was impossible to transfer the money out of it. I spent days trying to hack it and reverse engineer the protocol (and in that time it got closer to 12,000$)... and just now I cracked it and transferred it to my current wallet!

Boooo yaaaa free 12,000$ aint bad for a few days work.

@stux weird cause the guys who did the pool was a world record success (though its possible this was done later than that, not sure).

@stux are you sure this isnt edited? I've seen the youtube video of someone doing this experiment with MUCH more reactants and it wasnt this big. In that case it was a whole pool filled with it.

@profoundlynerdy@mastodon.technology Thats an exageration and ignorant of the situation.

For starters it isnt the panels that cause the interference, its the inverters, and yes some have been known to be a problem. That's largely because people use cheap chinese imports that havent passed FCC testing, and they tend to be noisy.

That said its not all setups, not even most setups, but it does happen. When it happens hams can and often do report it and hopefully the FCC will step in and force the person to use a properly certified inverter.

Needless to say the idea that it will make shortwave unusable is complete nonsense. I know many operators who have large solar panel installations who have never experienced any issues.

Just a reminder to in the USA... You are supporting the party that fought for slavery and even after loosing the civil war enacted the Jim Crow laws and supported segregation for decades...

Now years later you have elected the first president in modern history who started his career on the platform of resisting desegregation efforts and doing everything in his power to keep schools segregated. In Biden's own words he didnt want to see the schools turn into "a racial jungle"

Might want to rethink your life choices and if you are really on the side of good...

@cwebber I dont think I ever heard that term... unless its in reference to a Police Deputy being confused about something (the literal meaning)... is it a british thing or something?

@anonymoose

I know that was tongue in cheek but there is some truth to that....

There is a **huge** difference between considering ideas in private, and making a public statement about your stance.

If what we care about is truly harm, and our goal is not thought policing, then this distinction is paramount.

>That can be hurtful to the victim and could make other victims of sex trafficking more reluctant to come out due to fear of being doubted.

Under this theory of harm, it seems that the person who leaked the emails, rather than rms is the one who should apologize before being allowed back in polite society. If I’m understanding correctly, rms said his private thought in the context of a private email conversation, and the leaker, by making them public, introduced all of the alleged harms to the person rms was discussing, as well as trafficking victims at large.

How sociopathic would someone have to be to cause all of that harm as mere collateral damage to out rms as a no-no thoughts thinker?

@geotechland
So few things.. first his comments about the fact that the victim wrt minsky presenting herself as willing makes perfect sense.

First as he said it is no less wrong but because she is being coerced she would not have said so to Minsky. Epstein is the bad person for coercing for sure, and he had said as much,. But since its unlikely minsky knew, and the victim never said anything to the contrary, its a perfectly reasonable assumption and not in anyway hurtful, to think Minsky was ignorant to that coercion and that the guilt of doing so rests on Epsteins shoulders not Minsky's... How does speaking the truth on the matter hurt victims? Its not like he implied the act was ok or that the victim was any less victimized, he simply stated where the blame for corersion rested.

Second what he said on pedophilia needs to be taken in context. What he said was it doesn't make sense for pedophilia to be morally defined by where you live. A 17 year old would be underage in the USA but that is the age of consent in england for example. In fact since he said it while talking about a case where the woman was 17 it is clear he was talking about cases where the age is borderline. He was never talking about consenting 10 year olds being ok. This argument as well is nothing to throw a fit over, his point is entirely valid in that regard.

Im fact nothing he said in those emails were even remotely problematic and in no way should even be an issue right now. In my mind it makes no sense and comes across as just toxic and unnecessary yo blow it up the way people have.

@freemo I think he should step down, but be given the opportunity to apologize, work with an organization and talk to victims of child sex trafficking, then be allowed to rejoin the fsf.

When I say "allowed", I say be allowed without social repercussions.

Rms 

@freemo His comments in the email thread is assuming that the sexual assault victim might have presented herself as a willing participant, and says the most plausible scenario is Minsky did not know the girl was underage.

That can be hurtful to the victim and could make other victims of sex trafficking more reluctant to come out due to fear of being doubted.

Also, his past comments on paedophilia indiciate he doesnt see anything wrong with it if the teen is willing.
