You tried to get organized and moved it here. It says “test” but it’s the real one

Thanks! I’m a Gitea user for years and was not aware of this. I was planning my own Gitea server, I will now forgo gitea for forgejo.

It’s not a devs vs admins, this was a failure on both sides. This is early days for the Fediverse, I’d imagine this will shake out over time as unreliable instances are abandoned and we get more devs and they learn to or get what the resources needed for better testing.

It seems like weak minds, such as those religious memes are able to successfully colonize, tend to see meaning coming from external sources higher on their perceived hierarchy than they are.
- Comment on Has google stopped working for finding anything? 10 months ago:
My job as a Linux admin/automation engineer has become way more difficult now that a primary tool has become nearly useless. I didn’t go to college, I learned from 0 to computer automation engineer essentially googling my way, I don’t think that would be possible now.

Sounds like it.

Gen X here, “pegging” meant hitting your target, like with a ball or something. “Ah! you pegged him right in the leg!”

Now we need Fedipact+ that blocks all for-profit instances.

- Comment on Tesla driver who killed 2 people while using autopilot must pay $23,000 in restitution without having to serve any jail time 11 months ago:
Based on my usage and understanding of the word being a lay person.
I’m an engineer myself, sometimes there are words that you have to be cognizant of the differences in meaning to other engineers vs lay people or even engineers in other fields. Some words are heavily overloaded, and “autopilot” is kinda one of them (others being “domain”, “node”, “artificial intelligence”, etc.).

Ah ok. I would’ve agreed with you not too long ago.
I’ve since become convinced that any concentration of power will attract exactly the type that should not wield it and therefore a society that wants to maximize things like freedom and minimize things like needless suffering should strive to build a society where power is not needed. I realize this would take time and could not come from violent revolution, but instead cultural change over a generation or two. In the meantime, democracy, imperfect as it is, with checks and balances can help keep things stable enough for cultural change to occur.
What is power used for except to coerce people to do your bidding instead of their own? I want to clarify that capability for self-defense/community- defense I don’t consider power.

Except it mostly doesn’t work. For every corrupt official going to prison you have 10 getting away with it.

I think many don’t use the alternatives because there are significant challenges vs using a car you’re already paying for.
I’d love to bicycle but it’s just not safe.

It doesn’t matter, Tesla cars are marketed to the public which isn’t expected to know these things. To probably 90% of people “autopilot” means “drive automatically”.

Democracy tends toward corruption as any concentration of power will.

Anarchism means people can protect themselves and their community without a state interfering. This means if you don’t protect yourself you pay consequences. Those that would become tyrannical don’t appear fully formed.
A functional anarchist society needs cultural mechanisms, i.e. tolerance of self defense at all levels, these should be able to prevent psychopaths from growing old. But I’m limited in what I can write here.

The state (i.e. a group of people that claims only they can use violence in a given geographic region) is a tool used by the psychopathic hoarder class – it’s purpose is to steal from us (our labor and resources that belong to us all) in relative safety (i.e. protected by state enforcement/police).
Our societal “advancement” can largely be understood in terms of this psychopathic hoarder class become more efficient and effective at their job of stealing and hoarding. Look at amazon.com, is that an advancement over stores or a more efficient way to exploit resources and people and effectively expedite the planet’s destruction?
