I don’t understand how my coworkers are using windows. Like, they routinely have issues where it randomly reboots or gets sluggish. And it’s just flat out unfit for software development, unless you’re targeting windows specific stuff. They can’t even run our code locally.

Maybe some of the problems are janky security stuff to try to lock it down

Conservatives don’t care about truth or internal consistency. They just want to harm the out-group.

If there’s any justice, everyone who works for Palantir will be lined up next to everyone who worked for ICE.

If the legal system concludes that he cannot be charged for murder, then the legal system is in error and should be amended.

The legal system is not a sacred, immutable, thing. It’s a bunch of agreements.

Lol, yeah. If I saw an account labeled “American Nazi Party” with a blue check mark, I wouldn’t think “wow, Bluesky endorses Nazis” - I’d think “wow, this isn’t a satire account, these are actual Nazis, imma block them.”

I’d think “wow they let Nazis on here. Like they know about them and are cool with that. This place is trash”

. I will never understand how he got these people so duped

They are stupid. So, kind of tautologically, they reason poorly and make bad decisions.

How would you prevent the cognitive test from being used to remove candidates for political reasons?

“Sorry, he failed the test because he couldn’t sing the texas anthem”

You could maybe have the questions and answers public, but the voting public is poorly informed and educated.

You could have some sort of third party do it, but then the conservatives would spend decades corrupting that.

Yep. I’ve been during linux as my main desktop for maybe a year or two now, and it’s been fine. I don’t tinker with it. Most things just work.

The only thing that’s been a little dicey is mods for games, but I think I just need to figure out how like wine and proton prefixes work. It’s probably not hard, I just haven’t had a need lately.

• read Bandcamp’s writeups. Sometimes they do a deep dive into a genre, city, or band. https://daily.bandcamp.com/
• if you find something you like, scroll down and there’s other users who bought it. Peek into their collections
• if you scroll down further on an album, there will be more recommendations
• you can search by genre or tag, too

There’s not to my knowledge a good way to run/test GitHub actions locally. So if I want to verify my change uploads the coverage report after the end of the pipeline, I have to run the whole thing. And then I find an error because on the GitHub runner blah blah is different

It’s not enough to just remove them from power. They shouldn’t go on to live a life of luxury giving talks on Fox News or whatever.

And if they stay, they get hung because “following orders is not an excuse”

I think ideally they’d stay and subtly fuck up the administration’s plans. Like how prosecutors routinely fail to indict cops. But that’s asking a lot

Thank you. I really hate this trend of a video when a few paragraphs would do it.

I tell people about lemmy and send them links. Mostly people don’t care about anything. Abstract or remote things like “should a platform be owned by one asshole?” just doesn’t even enter their brain.

I’ve thought about switching. I do like the password saving and syncing between Android and desktop that Firefox does, and I’m not sure if the forks do that.

No regrets on switching to Linux here. Almost all of the time I just use the GUI to launch steam or Firefox. No AI nagging me (aside from whatever nonsense Firefox is up to)

If you call it out before it happens, they call you alarmist. If you point it out afterwards, they’ve already normalized it

They’re not engaging with facts. That’s a whole other plane that doesn’t intersect. It’s just feelings and in-group.

When you point it out early, you’re disparaging the in-group so that must be rejected. When you point it out after… You’re still disparaging the in-group so that must be rejected.

That’s all there is to it.

Yeah some mods on some instances give real pearl clutching vibes.

Yeah, true. Too much jury nullification of any sort means you’re systems are failing. Not good for a society.

Ehh kind of. But, you know, nullification is when the laws say they’re guilty but the jury says no. Typically because the laws are unjust. But there’s an opposite where the laws might say they’re innocent, but the jury says guilty because the laws are also unjust.
