We had our chance in the 1930s and 40s. We failed back then. And with things even more stacked now there’s no chance. I’d like to be surprised. But everyone is still sleepwalking to be sure.

That’s an absolutely valid take. Mine was such a headline was so vague that could literally be anyone at a GOP event. Most of them are serial offenders and a few are sofa offenders.

Yep her being a disciple of Peter Thiel and Elon Musk. That’s pretty much the one thing you can count on her for.

Not going to make evaluation of the statements made in the video. They may or may not have merit. But Sabine Hossenfelder is a bad messenger. With a history of false, unsupported and bigoted statements.
Had an ancient Core 2 duo laptop. 4 gigabytes of ddr2 RAM. And 256 GB spinning rust hard drive, no webcam, and a native resolution just barely above 720p. Attach a cheap $30 720p projector and Bluetooth shower speaker. Toss Haiku beta r6 on it. Project on the tile above the bathtub. Perfect for some basic authentic shitposts and watching some YouTube while soaking in some Epsom salts.
I solved that issue by having a computer in nearly every room. I may have a problem. But I prefer to call it a hobby LOL.
Fair enough yeah. Myself I don’t mind loading up the ADF and just clicking scan in skanpage. But everyone has the workflow that works for them. And that’s valid

Makes me think of this.
I have 30-year-old scanners that work perfectly under linux. I bought a scanner last month for my mother which also works perfectly under Linux. Is there just some special feature of the software that you need? Or does the scanner just truly not work under Linux?

Well yeah, it was tradition by that point and had only gotten worse. Here’s a video link talking about another, mildly less damaging (?) Case
No, it went all the way around. Full 360.
He gets blacked out, and he screws up again. Because he’ll never learn to stay down.

Yep. If you are against calcified hierarchies of power unless it’s a capitalist oligarch. You are just a capitalist
- Eldritch@piefed.worldtoFediverse@lemmy.world•Is large scale direct reposting of content from corporate social media healthy for the Fediverse?English5·11 days ago
Reposting linked content from, yes. To? No. If you still brave those wilds to find content currently lacking on fedi and post here to drive engagement. You’re exactly the type of person the feddi needs. If you’re posting links to external comment sections about said links. You aren’t helping the feddi.
It’s worst with mastodon where there are a ton of not reporters that might be mistaken for actual outlets.

Yup, just added some links. Confas is a real piece of work. Really a piece of shit we should all be ashamed of having produced or tolerated as a society.
- Eldritch@piefed.worldtoscience@lemmy.world•The death of Jason Arday must prompt deep reflectionEnglish9·11 days ago
Curious why all the down voting. Perhaps I’m a little out of the loop on the subject. I know he was not perfect. God forbid. But the racists focusing and picking on him specifically eventually leading to what happened is something needs to be addressed. And thankfully for the institutions involved it seems they have. But for the wider public. That I have yet to see.
A quick extra addendum for any others to get up to speed.
Last month Cofnas, a self-described “race realist,” accused Arday of plagiarizing parts of his Ph.D. thesis at Liverpool John Moores University.
A.K.A. a racist and bigot.
Liverpool had already Looked over Arday’s PhD and found nothing to revoke it. But Confas couldn’t let that stand and Hyper fixated on it. Stirring up a ton of media attention with the help of the right wing media sphere.
Worse, plenty of academics came out in support of Confas. Which even if you think suspension for his actions was a bit harsh. (Fair enough) No one with his views should have knowingly been in the positions he’s been in the first place. His shameful racist views were no secret.
Academic freedom is important. But certified quackery and bigotry aren’t.
I saw the other. They’re really dropping the ball though. No sabbo tabby.
Yep. Without adequate safety features they can be very dangerous.
A decent portion of it yes. Several ships of Jewish refugees turned away. There was even a plot to install their own authoritarian furer by deposing FDR. Unfortunately a lot of the details were lost to history due to FDR’s wheeling and dealing. Blackmailing the guilty parties in Congress to pass the new deal.But look up the business plot. The lot of them should have been publicly hung.
