Crypto is just the newest way to skirt regulations. Fuck em

Again, this is just vibes based. I will not be defending Discovery but Lower Decks is fucking awesome and Strange New Worlds is a solid return to TNG style storytelling. Vaguely gesturing at imagined wokeness is not an argument.

Agreed on all counts. Additionally, living wages need to be paid with “casual” no hours jobs disincentivized (I.e. full benefits for all workers). Rent is more and more of people’s income, and it’s not solely because rent is rising although that is a giant part of the problem.

Still, I’d ultimately want decommidification, but literally anything that will actually ease the problem is good in the meantime.

Canadian Tire treats their employees like shit. You are shopping at Canadian Walmart, nothing more.

Children can’t be held to the standard of adults. Teachers certainly should be paid more but if you can’t handle working with kids teaching might not be your gig.

Trekkie here. People still complain about modern Trek being “woke” unlike their preferred version (which definitely does not talk about “woke” issues through allegory, or something)

Read this and was confused about why estrogen makes you nap-less. Guess that shows where my head’s at

Most TLDs basically mean nothing because there’s nobody who enforces what they mean. .tv domains, for example, is the TLD for the country Tuvalu, but I dare you to find me a website for the Tuvalu people ending in it.

Newpipe still works fine for me. What’s the issue? Are you running the current version from Github?

The fact they’re mad means it’s working. Hold!

Based! Fuck Nazis

Holy shit, this is actually a pretty bad list. A lot of classics and actually good modern manga here. Unfortunate - mangadex was great while it lasted. Pirate sites are hydra, if course, but mangadex was actually usable unlike a lit of other sites.

Python is the tradeoff between ease of development and performance. If you do things the “normal” way (aka no cython) your programs will oftentimes severely underperform when compared with something written in a relatively lower-level language. Even Java outperforms it.

But, you can shit out a program in no time. Or so I’ve been told. Python is pretty far from the things I’m interested in programming so I haven’t touched it much.

And what have the American people done with their guns in the face of tyranny exactly?

It’s just a LARP.

Fuck cars too, buddy

Motorcycles and scooters perpetuate expensive car infrastructure that makes life worse for everyone. The future is public transport and, as far as micro mobility goes, pedal assist ebikes.

Middle class is a made up term meant to separate the working class. It doesn’t mean anything. The definition of middle class is vibes alone because it’s a term that means nothing used by pandering politicians.

I agree that systemic solutions should be the focus but unfortunately the Liberals are incapable of challenging the system.

Yep. You have to at least vaguely be engaged in the politics of the internet (not to be confused with politics on the internet) to use these smaller platforms at all.

The average social media user just doesn’t care. They want things to work from their perspective, and it doesn’t matter how much data they give up, or privacy they lose, or any other thing that might be a negative to us that engage in the internet outside of “apps”.

IMO, this is a pro and not a con of federated social media, and means that your discussions will be smarter on average. Sometimes, I feel sad that the days of free (as in freedom) internet is seemingly gone, before I remember that you just have to look a little deeper, and it’s definitely still there.

…Then stop posting on Reddit? I thought the whole point of us moving here was to get out of the control of Reddit and their shareholders/corporate overlords

This except furry

This community is one of the only things keeping me going at this point.
