That’s one way to dispose of all those bad apples
- Comment on YSK that fracking is not safe. People living near fracking sites are more likely to develop serious diseases 2 days ago:
Yes, this is a problem much better solved on an institutional scale best served by government regulations, not by individuals doing their part. These companies you mention attempt to shift the burden of responsibility onto those with the least power to affect any real change. It’s diabolical.

It’s common sense, but obfuscated by those still spending millions to deny climate change while the world literally burns around us. Gaslighting is a hell of a propaganda technique.

I strongly suspect this is conservative persecution complex. Sometimes I wish these types of users would go back to Reddit, but Reddit is such a hellscape now I wouldn’t even wish that on condescending .world users. Rather them stay here and bolster lemmy numbers, even with their shit takes included.
- Comment on Stung by customer losses, Comcast says all its new plans have unlimited data 1 week ago:
Fiber is just better, period, and these Comcast fucks have been tearing up with the likes of ATT to fight it every step of the way. Organized regional monopolies, incredibly subpar service, inevitable price hikes, and terrible customer service - fuck em.

Unless Congress can find some balls to tax the rich, it’s only going to get worse. And since the rich are legally allowed to buy and own the Congress critters…good luck anyone younger than boomers.
- Comment on Most American headline 4 weeks ago:
Yep that’s right, $8 billion in the new bill for Israel to continue massacring children and stealing their ancestral land.
Israel First policy is an American notion I’ll never understand. Israel is the biggest terrorist nation-state in the world right now, nobody commits war crimes and other high crimes against humanity at the rate Israel does. It’s so sad to see them dog walking American leaders every day but here we are.
- Comment on Most American headline 4 weeks ago:
Trump’s new spending bill is providing $2 trillion tax cut for the richest among us. They already pay only 8% on average, but they own the politicians and are demanding to pay even less.
How are we supposed to pay for that if we don’t rob children of their school lunches?!

I agree that the incessant fundraising texts are annoying, but you should consider learning more about Ro Khanna. He’s the leader of the progressive caucus in the house, and often the only one in committee to vote against things like increasing defense spending, etc.

- Comment on The USA spends $15k/student annually which is 30% higher than the global median. Why do U.S. schools have "fundraisers" where kids are incentivized to sell stuff to people? 1 month ago:
Criminally underfunded, plus capitalism as a value.

You’re embarrassed by the difference between performative politics for the press vs meaningful action to force change? Me too. If US democracy has any chance of survival we need far more of the latter, right away.

I had the same thought, this is so peak lib.
You’re there with the guy, and you have a court ruling saying facilitate his return. Do that, by cuffing him to yourself, and demanding they let you both walk away. El Salvador don’t want heat from abducting a US statesman.
But no, this is just a photo op it seems.

- Comment on Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ | TechCrunch 2 months ago:
Yeah, you’re right, but wielding this power effectively requires thinking beyond the current fiscal quarter.
Also, small nit (because the essence of what you’re saying is absolutely correct), but…ain’t nobody trying to rip off Teslas. They’re absolute garbage, literal dumpster in the case of the cybertruck. Chinese EVs on the market today are already cheaper and better.
That said, from Elon’s perspective I’m pretty sure this is more about training LLMs on presently copy-written material, unhindered by IP protections.

dropsite is some of the best independent journalism available in the US. They break massive news stories all the time, things you’d never see from the corporate news narrative. Highly credible.

This is great info, will look into this further. Ty!
- Comment on Obama wasn't a hero; he just wasn't terrible 2 months ago:
Illegitimate wars fought for oil in Iraq and Afghanistan, with civilian casualties in the 100s of thousands. Let Russia take Crimea, arguably the initial precursor to today’s war in Ukraine, even though we promised them protection in exchange for giving up their nukes. Extra-judicial killing of American citizen via drone strike. He was peak lib and gave corpos everything they wanted and more, so of course the corpo media won’t point any of this out. Doesn’t change the fact that he committed grave crimes against humanity and our own citizens.
Would I rather have him back today instead of the orange dotard? Yeah. Doesn’t mean he was a good guy though, or good for Americans in general.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 2 months ago:
Yeah I’m aware of openrgb, it has limited compatibility but seems to work ok for most of my stuff. Still haven’t found a great way to run my favorite corsair keyboard reactive lighting theme I had setup with their software in windows, but what I came up with in openrgb is good enough.
However, I didn’t think it was possible to run autoIt or autoHotkey at all in Linux. Are you suggesting a Python script to replace it, or something else? AHK has a very peculiar syntax which I don’t believe would translate well to other languages.

Switch to Linux. As a big-time gamer, I did it last year and it’s been fantastic. Only issue is if you main games with root kit anticheat…but with enough momentum in Linux direction, game studios will be forced to abandon those dubious detection methods anyway.

For gaming, It’s mostly niche windows things in my experience. In my case I opted to stay on linux anyway. Also worth noting, I find that outside of gaming linux is superior for work and general pc use.
Some manufacturer programs for doing things like mouse macros or controlling LED lighting, auto hotkey scripts, some types of overlays tied to directx apis (yolomouse), etc. These things don’t and probably will never work. I think some of them might if you really know your stuff with wine, but that usually ends up being dependency hell for me and I give up more often than succeeding when trying to force a windows native program to run.

- Comment on Good to exercise at home instead of gym? 3 months ago:
Very reasonable approach to start at home. You can get absolutely shredded doing just a small handful of body-weight resistance exercises: pushups, pull ups, squats, lunges, and maybe sprawls. That’s literally all you need. Add in some yoga or pilates routines occasionally to strengthen your core further, a ton of material for that on YouTube. Congrats on the big step of starting your fitness journey!
