May I ask why Zulip was selected over others like xmpp or irc? I'm just generally curious about zulip's potential advantages in the long-term

Do you have any tips for others looking to move their matrix/irc activity over to simplex?

You... You really think we wouldn't find some other trivial differences to get overly tribal over?

I've always been curious how one could verify that all that exif data was certainly removed fully
- Comment on Substack prompted a Nazi blog again 1 week ago:
I almost fully agree
Idk about 'should' just out of paranoia that I can imagine a case where criticizing without sufficient contrast or a consistent-enough background of otherness, could potentially have unintended consequences or surprisingly negative overall moral impacts
Or maybe just paranoid idek - Comment on Substack prompted a Nazi blog again 1 week ago:
Can't criticize unless an alternative is provided tho, can you?

Find what you love and let it kill you.
For me this was philosophy which is the opposite of convenient or helpful especially in our current era. It led to me consistently blundering my way forward but it serving as an initial point is the critical lesson to be learned, I think. - Comment on What would happen if I just drove straight south to Mexico? 2 weeks ago:
I think it means lumpenprole would be a better name lol
You have impressed me yet again tho--if you ever seriously engage with Marx's inspirations, please return with how your views changed on this very core Hegel quote. Until then, I hope you find peace:D

Is this a showerthought or just wrong?

It's a sloppy rework of a Hegel quote--you have my most favorite lemmy comment prole:
I really love the beauty of a prole calling a hegel quote the dumbest thing ever in any context.But if you wanted a serious answer, yes--Doesn't any modern worthwhile philosopher have to engage with Hegel's thought in some dimension?
- Comment on What would happen if I just drove straight south to Mexico? 2 weeks ago:
I 100% believe you about your hardships--I don't deny the truth of any of your very real and serious struggles.
I've only encountered a single trans person irl, and it was a pretty bad experience for me because I was their assigned supervisor that ended up being the one having to deal with a lot of hormonal mood-swings during and after the transition wreaking havoc on team morale. I could let this one bad experience permanently tilt my outlook in much the same way you have with your unfortunate job/boss experiences. It would be emotionally easy and arguably reasonable to do so, but I refuse because I believe staying open-minded is critically important to growth and development.I never said I didn't believe you, I just believe that evil exists only in the eyes that see evil everywhere.
- Comment on What would happen if I just drove straight south to Mexico? 2 weeks ago:
It's exceptionally reasonable, but if you look up to see zebras you're going to feel a bit silly, right? I don't really know what you're getting at, but only because I'm not seeing where specifically you engaged with anything I said
- Comment on What would happen if I just drove straight south to Mexico? 2 weeks ago:
but if that's the usual for non-trans too, do you think maybe the wrong excuses are being targeted?
I really think the whole job structure itself needs a rework personally. The job hunt grind is debilitating emotionally tho--I fully understand the frustration/outrage it induces consistently - Comment on Why democrats under Biden administration didn't release Epstein files? 3 weeks ago:

- Comment on Tesseract is shutting down 4 weeks ago:
That was supposedly the best front-end we had, right? Sad to hear--I hope I can become good enough to help revive projects like this.
On a sidenote, what other frontends are to be used in the meantime? I'm hoping one of the few is still being maintained somewhat - Comment on Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4? 5 weeks ago:
This is all I've talked about at work.
What are we supposed to take pride in specifically?
I suppose pride in our resilience--there is great potential to learn from our repetitious failures surely - Comment on Steam Summer Sale 2025 has begun! 1 month ago:
I'm exaggerating with the explicit 'need' word choice, but a quick glance at the specific dlc reviews of Sims 4, Monster Hunter World, and Destiny 2 should give you an idea of why I dislike the concept. Hell, you couldn't even get a conclusion to one of the assassin's creed narratives without the dlc and I personally find this revolting as someone that loves video games way too much. I know I'm basically just overzealous about the principle of these things, but I really believe we need more people taking more responsibility for the embarrassing precedents we're creating
- Comment on Steam Summer Sale 2025 has begun! 1 month ago:
do you need dlcs for risk of rain 2? I don't really like encouraging stuff like DLC's if avoidable
