Yeah I use a GoogleTV and don't let the set itself connect to the internet. I held onto an HTPC as long as I could but it just got too troublesome to coax high quality streams out of it after a while.

- Comment on Westloki – 3D printed bicycle belt drive conversion (solid continuous loop belt on an unbroken bike frame) 3 weeks ago:
If you compare apples to apples there's barely even a weight savings. Belt drives are either single speed or hub drive which can work with chains just fine. Once you add tensioner circuitry it's basically a push. The only kind of advantage that they don't need lubrication and are quieter.

That's because apple wants to form an abusive relationship with you where you try to justify all the dumb shit they do because you build it into your ego identity.

Look, the only thing in the world which hasn't been corrupted by capitalism is OP's brain, which happens to be in a jar, on a shelf, owned by an evil demon, who lives in a hole at the bottom of the sea. Just be thankful that the capitalists have not figured out how to harness this phenomenological power yet.

The entire thing is an edgy strawman. Honest practitioners obviously take seriously the need to understand and articulate the limits of empiricism, and are hostile towards those who abuse the public trust of scientific authority. It would honestlt be great if we could do the same with our critiques of capitalism.

Nihilism is fun! Science as a framework for truth seeking, and big S Science are functionally different things. Nobody is making the argument that Science is free from political or economic bias, or even that empiricism is the sole arbiter of truth. Literally just finish reading Kant, I'll wait.
On the other hand, you can look at the world and very plainly see that science... does things. It discovers truth with a far better track record than every other imperfect epistemology. But sure, capitalism bad. Twitter man cringe. And the internet is just like, an opinion, or something.

No, she has a point. Men have testicles and a penis so perhaps they are simply useless once they have transferred their genetic material to the next generation.

EE wizards are also the keepers of information theory, which is all just probability, and is pretty much the definition science of our modern era.

- Comment on Lemmy's gaining popularity, so I thought new people should see this. 4 weeks ago:
Right, and both of these ideas represent the same form of flawed modernist structuralism which has been largely supplanted by more contemporary theories which take a more pragmatic view on harm reduction as an iterative process in pursuit of post scarcity materialism. The entire problem is that so many MLs immediately reject any form of leftist revisionism which doesn't mesh with, questions, or even dares to reject the authoritarian traditions of Mao or Stalin as some kind of capitalist conspiracy which has infested western academia. This is as ridiculous as it is ignorant and seems to betray their underlying motivation not as one which seeks to uplift workers, but one which seems obsessed with some long defunct geopolitical rivalry. It's exhausting, and frequently very stupid, despite these people believing that they are some collective political ubermensch.

This is why it's so frustrating, because tankies being overrepresented in online leftist spaces is one of the things which harms the acceptance of leftist ideals more than most of their imperialist windmills.
People aren't scared away from socialism by economic democracy, egalitarianism or radical direct action. They are scared away by confrontational and aggressive tankies defending tyrants, who seem to care more about relitigating random cold war drama than lifting up workers.

Honestly I think the .ml folks have shown themselves to be such zealots that they should be considered a potemtial security threat to the broader fediverse.
The more places defederate from them, the more opportunity and initiative there will be for alternatives to their largest communities to grow.

I'm thinking it's a sign
That the freckles in our eyes
Are mirror images
And when we kiss
They're perfectly aligned
