yeah but I panicked and it didn’t occur to me you can still plug an external keyboard on a laptop. And to be honest, I don’t think I ever thought of that before. So if there was data, I would have lost it.

I once encrypted my disk with a passphrase that contained a mere ‘j’. I generated it on bitwarden, then pasted it. The problem was the j key wasn’t working on my keyboard and I had no way to enter the passphrase on boot. Luckily the disk was empty since this was a fresh install, so I just reinstalled it with a different passphrase. But this could have been catastrophic since I didn’t have a spare keyboard.

if you normalize political violence against your opponents then you also normalize it against yourself.

Their political violence against us (their opponents) has always been normalized and it never led to what you said.

🤦🏾‍♂️ Free as in freedom, DF isn’t even source available.

There’s a bot that crossposts reddit posts here, I forgot it’s name because I blocked it. I’ll check my blocked list and post it here, brb.

edit: it’s this bot: @bot@lemmit.online

I once heard of something called anarcho-monarchism, so nothing would surprise me at this point.

I love it when the libre software world moves from “what if there was an open source version of this” to “thanks for the starting concept, dear company, we’ll take it from here and make something bigger and better”.

I remember I tried Luanti a while ago (before the name change) but got a bit confused by the many games, like I thought it would be literally just a libre version of minecraft with builtin moddability. Once I read a bit about it it made a lot more sense, but by that time I was too busy to try it again. I’ve been thinking of getting back to gaming, I might give this a shot if I can’t find a libre version of Dwarf Fortress.

edit: changed ‘free’ to ‘libre’ to avoid ambiguities.

Is your dealer hiring new customers?

How do I delete someone else’s post?

This place is full of former redditors. We’ve all been in the situation where someone comments the most deranged, obviously satire thing, you upvote and start playing in on the joke, saying something even more deranged, and they agree with you in an obviously satire back and forth, then you check their comment history and it turns out it was never satire from their side and you were encouraging a flat-earther. As much as the /s and the mOcKiNg CaSe annoy me, I think they’re necessary these days.

What I do now when a Youtube channel starts enshittifying is unsubscribe and copy the channel’s url to a plain text list. I’ll occasionally check it using Noutube, see the video list, and if there’s anything interesting, I’ll watch it there. That way I can still enjoy whatever little content is still worth watching without rewarding the channel more than necessary.

In my small town cars and pedestrians just kinda share the street. Like we take a look at each other and whoever seems to be the most in a hurry goes first. There’s very few traffic lights and crossings. Also very few cars and people, lol.

But back when I lived in a huge city, there was this big commercial street where traffic lights were literally ignored. A car would slowly threaten to run the pedestrians over until they stopped crossing, then the other cars would follow until enough pedestrians started threatening to get run over by the cars, then everyone would follow, and that was it, traffic was controlled by pedestrians’ willingness to die vs drivers’ willingness to kill them.

Worth mentioning that this only worked because that street was so crowded that at certain times of the year you could get an actual pedestrian jam, like the entire street filled with people, barely able to move, and more people constantly arriving.

Also, whenever police showed up, all the unlicensed street merchants would pack up their carts and run through the middle of the street so police wouldn’t steal their merch, cars were just expected to stop for them. Which was weird because the street was always full of regular cops, but there was this special type of cop whose only job was to steal merch from unlicensed merchants. The regular cops just ignored them.

I never understood why cars were allowed on that street, nor why drivers kept using it instead of taking a detour. Needless to say, moving away from that shithole of a city did wonders for my mental (and physical) health.

I’m baffled I just downvoted a comment saying “intellectual property is bullshit”. There’s a first time for everything I guess. And yes it is bullshit but gosh, what a weird place to take that stance.

Sometimes I catch myself opening nano inside emacs’ term. I literally forget I’m using emacs and just do it on instinct. I once also opened emacs inside emacs’ term and I just stared at the screen in disbelief.

Congratulations

I already said that, can’t you read? You’re defending violence against real people. It may be just a joke to you but for me it’s my childhood friends, literal children. I get that getting people mad is a sign of victory for people like you, but grow the fuck up, your dishonesty and malice are blatant. Yes, you got me mad by making monstrous remarks about a situation that affects real people, with real and often lethal consequences. If that’s fun to you, that’s your problem. But don’t think for one second I feel embarrassed for getting mad here, I would be embarrassed to be the type of person who doesn’t get mad at this.

And if those angry cops go to a poor area for payback, why should the privileged kids stop?

This is what you said. You’re just dishonest. There’s no way you actually believe the very people getting murdered by cops respect them. And here you imply the cops do it because they’re mad at the privileged kids. The people who are the worst victims of police brutality live under enough oppression to have to stay silent for their lives. To imply they “respect” cops is dishonesty, there’s no way you believe that, and you definitely meant the cruelty. I’m really thankful to the privileged kids who use their privilege to speak about it because I only speak about it when I’m anonymous, because I literally fear for my safety. And to answer your question, the privileged kids absolutely shouldn’t stop.

I must have really touched a nerve.

Definitely did. If that was your goal, congratulations.
