Lemmy is just Facebook now huh?

Well far be it from me to judge anyone at a music festival but I think for many burning man has some bourgeoisie, fake hippie sorta connotations?

Yeah I mean, LW using discord instead of a FOSS option is not a good look...

Somebody get me outta this backwards country 🥺

I hate that the two are becoming more and more conflated. Ukraine is fighting off a invasion; Israel is invading and has driven the people of palestine into radical organization and direct action. These funds should go to aid and peace efforts instead.

I've been all around the country, and ofc there are exceptions but radio in general is ridiculously conservative. If I have to hear another Christmas song I might just lose it...

Lol "safety capitalism" the editors wouldn't even let them say socialist. Just the state of the world in 2024 -fight harder, people. I personally can't handle what this shit does to my blood pressure anymore

Unless you're disabled, elderly or otherwise unable to do this... Not to mention how is this tracked? I don't want MY employer knowing what I do or where I go in my free time.

Or, you know, we could just reallocate these egregiously huge military/police funds to healthcare + infrastructure. There are innumerable reasons people in this country are driven to violence but the number one is the violence it inflicts on us.

Inflation and wage theft are absolutely out of control in this country. I'm a barista. My store makes $1600 in a eight-hour day. Mine and all of my coworker's wage in there probably adds up to about $50/hour on average. So the profit margin is ridiculous. And these businesses have the gall to think they can make MORE MONEY. No, fuck you. At some point the human beings doing the hard work need to get a bigger cut.

Hmm, maybe it's because they're actually fighting for their country's billionaire's interests instead?

I'll never understand statements like these. Capitalism is the #1 reason there's a profit incentive for any given thing to be horrible.

https://boingboing.net/2021/04/20/u-s-policing-budgets-would-rank-as-the-worlds-third-highest-military-expenditure.html/amp The american police are the third biggest military force in the world by budget. They are a HUGE drain on this country's resources especially when we have such extensive federal bureaucracy but the point remains they exist to repress free speech through force, evict families, trash the struggling livelihoods of the homeless and joke about it too all in the service of normalizing this fascist nightmare. They started as slave patrols, in the US especially they are a intrinsically racist institution of class traitors. And with their funding we could have healthcare, housing and education instead... who would riot then?

Okay, well I'm ready to write a angry email now who's with me? Anybody know the best address?

It's especially frustrating as someone who needs cannabis for severe anxiety, because it's anxiety inducing in itself to have to hide it and that pretty much cancels out the benefits for me- it's something we absolutely need to destigmatize at work especially.

Maybe it doesn't have one? people might slap a logo on everything nowadays but it's never been a requirement for a product to be quality. Looks like a nice cast iron to me

I want a fucking headphone jack, thanks. Also 3 full size USB ports, a physical keyboard and a inch-thick battery, because fuck you.

I've found Garuda pretty much gets you all the perks of Arch without the drawbacks and installs just as quickly as debian if not faster. And I love ancient Linux memes as much as anybody but neither Debian or fedora is much to write home about nowadays IMHO.

Eh, I don't get it at all so I can't judge. I feel like even a 104 key-layout is kinda lacking, a keyboad just doesn't seem like the right place for minimalism to me.

Debtap is suprisingly easy to use after switching to arch (highly recommend), but i actually love .deb files. Obviously it's a slight risk to the user in the similar way dot EXE's can be for windows , but they really do simplify package management for when you're newer to linux.
