  or better yet. get active. we’re out here pushing counter propaganda in the streets and we don’t see you out here, people for whom Harris wasn’t good enough. we’re doing the work outlined in all that theory you tell us to read, but we don’t see you out here. it makes me think that crowd never understood what we were trying to do. for thousands of years our ancestors have passed down to us stories about charismatic authoritarians tricking people into believing a prior story of liberation grants them the mandate of heaven to take control and kill the non-believers and now in your religious furor to stick to karl marx’s story you are missing the bigger picture. the people gaining power interpret the book of revelations literally. they think they have to all gather for a big final battle to the death. they ignore that core to the story of revelations is an antichrist who doesn’t believe any of the things christ taught but uses charisma to wipe out the minority of good christians who kept to the teachings of christ who achieve eternal presence in the kingdom of heaven.

  i read this story differently. to me, i think about what christians were experiencing at the time. they were having a genocide enacted against them. the romans were killing and torturing this radically egalitarian religion as it existed at the time. they justified this killing through religious means to the people. revelations is an instruction manual about how to recognize and resist authoritarianism. one that people consistently use to justify authoritarianism. it’s the absolute cruelest joke in the world.

  is it 5000 consistent users or is it 5000 randos that on any given day tries turning it on to see if it was all in their head and actually these devices were kinda useful. then they don’t use it again because no actually, it really is that bad

  I don’t understand this sports metaphor but that’s on me for chiming in on a British community discussion of a British celebrity that I do in fact no a little bit about. The good news is you can tell me its from basically any sport y’all like on the isles and I’ll be like “wow so fascinating”

  I get my best results with either Duckduckgo or with Searx. Neither run their own index but the independent index searches I’ve tried have been straight up ass. It seems right now the best thing you can do is simply escape the curated personalized results bubbles

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨emacs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m going to give what I’ve realized newer folks to Vim think is a scorching hot take: VimL is nice. Theyre the same editor commands you use in your day to day life, even if you’re using NeoVim + Lua, just all written out in a file.

  That said, using NeoVim + Lua makes it far easier to organize your config, which also makes it easier to write more complex configs. It’s like the difference between building a shed around back for your home office vs building a cathedral. Its fine to work in a shed, but once you know you can build a cathedral, you’re kinda tempted to just up and do it

  Academia is a scam and in a lot of ways the only reward for locking yourself into it is the opportunity to tell young people to just follow your narrow path to success. And I’m not saying everyone in academia is a trying to scam students, I mainly mean that PhDs lack objectivity on how the world works because they’re so locked into their weird little corner of the world and view of as fine and normal

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A quarter of Brits want a ban on fake grass⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The only arguments against fake grass are that it doesn’t look nice, and it isn’t made from sustainable materials. The arguments for fake grass include that it is low maintenance (negating some of the environmental impact), and that it is much better for people with accessibility needs.

  Meanwhile, grass lawns require lots if maintenance (not good at all for the environment), aren’t good for people with accessibility needs, and look boring and unvaried. Meanwhile the upside for a grass lawn is it looks traditional. To that I say, screw tradition. Grow clover, wildflowers, moss, and edible plants in your yard. These NIMBY brit-karens fan fuck off

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New rules for bots on lemm.ee & Lemmy programming stream⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The bots that duplicate over every single comment also aren’t useful, IMO. The comment sections for those posts are so full of bot comments that a human user won’t see any opportunity to create an engagement hook. And if another human DID comment, its so lost in the noise that no one will probably see it or respond. Further, since votes aren’t replicated over, horrible odious comments that got voted into oblivion get copied over with equal weight as good comments
