  • What's it like living in the UK?

  • It's not "capitalism". It's just an ideology like Leninism. Ideologies rely on ideal conditions and circumstances to function well. When those ideologies disregard or outright neglect human nature. As both those do. They have and always will degrade and fail.

  • Wow, what an openly fascist thing to do

  • I’m getting redpilled on the “Trump had a stroke” theory

  • Vaush, a youtuber like Hasan. It's commentary mostly. Often sarcastic. Sometimes he will go in depth on certain things or topics. But this is certainly wishful commentary. Not news worthy.

  • Own The Libs

    Jump

  • You're using different terminology. Typically in the US liberal usually means socially liberal/progressive. Not economic liberalism. They're technically right. But the slang redefinition of the term due to decades of fascist propaganda definitely muddies discussions. As intended.

    Doesn't help with the general lack of education on the topic. You have to stay constantly vigilant to not talk passed eachother because of it.

  • I never denied the issues with countries often aligned with the western sphere of influence. Up above I specifically stated otherwise.

    I brought up Russia and China specifically to point out it's not a "west" thing. So keep the baseless tankie colonial mindset accusations to yourself.

    My entire last sentence is literally about solidarity with Russian/Chinese citizens. Just not their government or ours.

  • Ukraine suspects Russia of assassinating former parliamentary speaker

    Jump

  • The russian government has a long history of doing it. So it's certainly not a suggestion out of left field.

  • California’s Democratic governor leads the charge in expanding state repression

    Jump

  • Most definitely, unquestionably. Everyone is doing it to everyone else realistically and it needs to stop. But it won't. So we need to be aware to avoid being manipulated as much as possible.

  • No, the "west" isn't. The global bourgeoisie wealthy are. Russia and China are each arming and committing genocide. It's not an east west thing. East/West is a divide and conquer tactic to keep you from solidarity with those that would be allies and brothers.

  • California’s Democratic governor leads the charge in expanding state repression

    Jump

  • 100% this. Two things can be true. The candidates that democrats put up will always be flawed and against us in many ways. Yet people who consistently rail against the best viable option we have. Can still be tools of their enemies.

    My big hope is that after all the unprecedentedness of the last presidential cycle. Everything will be much more normal. And people will behave more rationally. But I still want to part on one point. It isn't a conscious, concerted effort on an individuals part. To be an asset or tool of their enemy. Russian etc election interference and misinformation is absolutely documented. They aren't targeting just right wing conservatives.

  • Agreed. The West and the media at large are definitely problematic. But not the problem themselves. No more than the people of China Russia India Etc are. It's the wealthy ruling class, east or west that are the issue.

  • On Dbzer0, 'harassing mods' is when you criticize the top admin of .ml for responding to a Wiki link with a Lemmy search

    Jump

  • Posting is definitialy engagement. It's explicitly the opposite of letting them have the last word. Especially when you continue to engage afterwards.

    Maybe I'm an uncouth Ozark hillbilly who's parents grew up in houses with dirt floors. Maybe it was some masterdebater super move on your part. But my problem with it as you put it. Specifically is that even you didn't seem to respect it afterwards. 🤷‍♂️

    Your first post way up top was "adequate". You'll never win 100% in the face of drama. Continuing to post, you're just weakening it.

  • On Dbzer0, 'harassing mods' is when you criticize the top admin of .ml for responding to a Wiki link with a Lemmy search

    Jump

  • Why post disengage. Why not just do it. As an administrator, as a moderator it's clear you knew what the correct actions were. You just couldn't take your own advice. And it only gets worse from there.

    I'm not here to take a side in the greater argument. I wasn't here for it, and don't have a dog in the fight necessarily. That and I suppose "oh no, drama in a drama sub". But whatever impression or perception I had of you. At this point you're tarnishing. Not that that necessarily means anything. I'm no one special. Not that the original accusation wasn't hyperbole. But you are only lending it credence the more you post now.

  • I used PostMarketOS on a OP6T for a week. Here's what I know.

    Jump

  • Yes i have an arm based chrome tablet. No longer supported by google. It's a bit underpowered. But works fantastically with post market. Few little bits of hardware here and there not supported. Mostly camera due to device tree shenanigans since it's mobile style hardware.

    KDE touch is so close. Just falling apart on edge cases most of the time, often due to limited resolution. Honestly something like Niri under Wayland with the rest of the KDE suite might solve some of it.

    By yeah. I'm in a similar boat. A slightly better device and better KDE touch. I'd just keep a cheap cell around as a modem. Hell someone design a proper open host board that I could just drop a CM5 or similar in. With GPS 5G WiFi 6 BT5 and a software solution to RCS/call. It would be a shut up and take my money type situation.

  • Firearms are a double edged sword. Maybe they help, maybe they hurt. But when society turns against you, and no place is safe for you. All the guns in the world even in the face of an unarmed populace won't save you.

  • Why did PinePhone fail?

    Jump

  • A combination. The hardware was woefully out of date before it launched. But for every one of us that would tolerate buggy software to tinker with it. There are thousands that can't or won't. Thousands NEEDED to support a project like this.

    Mobile/touch interfaces under general *nix right now are 10 to 15 years behind. KDE touch is good generally. I hear decent things about GNOME too. But not to the point of early android or iOS. It will get there but there's still a lot of pain ahead.

    What I'd really like beyond the software to make use of it. Is a small compact interface for network and interaction. That you could just drop and swap compute modules in. A CM5 is still underpowered. But if it was just a drop in replacement. Where you could change out the SOC or use the SOC in a new interface package i'd be set.

  • Violence is the answer for authoritarians. But it never lasts. Because it's just a tool. The answer is respect, justice, and consent.

    Without them you end up in inane cycles of violence like we have now.
