there are 50 reasons and all of them boil down to the democratic party's refusal to be popular. at this point the party is run by committed neocons and centrists who despite knowing that progressive policy is popular (let alone morally correct) will never campaign on it. whatever organized left exists in this country must break with the democrats if there is any hope for the future

when people say it's bad to dehumanize settlers or nazis, remember they they've already done it to themselves

isn't the Sabra joke just that it's notoriously bad hummus? making it an anti-semitism thing is so obviously bad faith lol

mastodon posters #love to post #like #this, put entire paragraphs in image alt text, and overuse the content warning feature to the point it's completely useless

the GPL does not require upstreaming. it would allow for anyone to redistribute Winamp with whatever modifications they like, provided they publish their source code under the GPL. the license Winamp is using is not even an open-source license since it explicitly forbids public redistribution. dumb move, they should have just used MIT or GPL and retained rights to the logo or something

and for a brief period other Western politicians were imitating the Israeli pronounciation, because they only interact with Israelis, not Palestinians

plagiarism is a capitalist lie, sharing knowledge is good and beneficial

there's a big difference between "sharing knowledge" and presenting other people's work as your own

someone on r/trueanon said this but he really does look like a Nazi. amphetamines and being gay in an evil way does crazy shit to the body

buried AC transmission lines also suffer from capacitive losses to earth which would significantly reduce grid efficiency on the distances being covered in the US. we do have buried lines within cities but outside of them it doesn't really make sense

as an aside in the latest Trillbillies episode Terrence said that we need degrowth communism and it got me wondering what that means to everyone. to hopefully stifle any silly debates i'll clarify that i'm talking about the West, not underdeveloped/overexploited nations in the Global South.

an end to oil drilling, gas extraction, and coal mining will obviously be necessary to stop climate change. how much modern technology can we replicate without relying on those things or other ecologically violent resource extraction? what does an agriculture system that doesn't rely on petrochem-derived fertilizers and herbicides look like? how do we repair the immense damage that's already been done?

i'd really appreciate some book recommendations on this topic as well as everyone's thoughts

a technical exploration of an HP laptop's "quick boot" features, ends with an excellent rant about the state of the technology industry that created them

 

it discusses the Synanon cult that was born out of AA, how it related to MKULTRA and 60s psychiatric research, and how it birthed the modern troubled teen industry.

also i finally learned what the fuck Deleuze meant when he talked about rhizomes

 

for real though, modern linux distros will rarely require you to enter a command line, and if you do, a quick internet search can usually help you find out what you need to enter
