- Comment on Socialist megacorps 1 day ago:
I’ve had that conversation. They don’t believe me when I say that’s socialism. I show them as much evidence as possible and the best case, they believe me in time but start going off about Stalin and Mao, worst case they try to say I’m lying about what socialism is.
I’ve had them state “I’ve read marx I know what socialism is” and shut down when I argue Marx was a communist, not a socialist. They cannot believe there’s a difference.
People just cannot grasp this concept.
They are delusional and willingly so. Through constant propaganda from a very, very young age they are structurally unallignable with anything against their training. No, you can’t convince them with “facts and logic” no you can’t just state “yeah and all that’s socialism” and have them flip a switch to become a socialist.
They’ll agree with each point you make they’ll agree with each policy they’ll support drastic change but the second you say that word or use the wrong language their pavlovian response kicks in and it’s

With all this newfangled nonsense I’m surprised you didn’t pick ancient scroll or the orb like that other loser.
Or should I say poser. Wizard Pope my ass mole.
I’m a traditionalist and here you are suggesting I kill my 1000 rats? Ha, can’t even bend the minds of rodents to assist you in your craft. Rats are friends, not filthy.
Run along now with your microdose potions and pumpkin spjce hex concoctions. I’ll be here unlocking the depths of voncious while enjoying the natural taste of a craft you could never achieve

Eh, eye of frog tastes terrible though and due to size thickens the mixture. Can’t even just use less as that throws off the cornea to iris ratio.
Sure, if effects all you care about, go at it. Some of us are craftsmen though.
Owl cats gotta go. Love them but they’re just a companion. I have a thousand rats to keep me company.
Can’t lose blood magic, can’t have blood magic without page boy, ancient scroll has that sweet wrinkle, nah owl cats where it’s at
- Comment on I'm Vegan! I can't eat what you sell! 2 weeks ago:
I’m not vegan but I agree what the absolute fuck. It’s like when I learned many jams weren’t vegan. It’s strawberry my guy. I’ve made strawberry jam and I never needed to add in cow.
So much random stuff just adds meat and meat by product and I’m just here thinking “why”? Is it just that cow bone and tendons are usually waste product and thus cheap? Massive subsidies extending all the way down?
No culture in history has eaten as much meat as we do. It’s not usually a daily thing let alone something that’s just kinda also in everything.
They be putting fish juice in our beer to make it clear and bones in our sugar to make it whiter.

OK What the hell man I love this in concept. Definitly not something I’d use, got my own setup and I like it quite alot, but fuck man I’ve always described NeoVim as a build it yourself text editor and you’ve said here “why stop at neovim?”
Hell yeah my guy. That’s such a cool way to at least get your environment running on any system. Would love to look into this to see if I can do something similar. Right now I just have a bash script that builds up my env.

Oh shit, how do I do that?
On bans I did mean sitewide as I know atleast veganhomecooks banned me (no clue why though I never interacted there). Fully understandable to think I meant communities with how I phrased it though lol.
Again though, I’d love to know how to check for bans. I’m very curious
- Comment on Getting mixed signals from Reddit. Furthermore I shall henceforth be on Lemmy full time. 2 months ago:
Not OP but I got banned on reddit atleast 4 times. Zero bans on Lemmy though.
All for supposed harassment usually after having a disagreement in certain subreddits. Honestly could be anything their report system seems easy to abuse
Now, I don’t tend to have those on Lemmy nearly as much, but when the pedophile I was disagreeing with reported me here the mods were chill to hear my side after issuing me a warning.
For both the more chill atmosphere and the better mods I like more here.

- Comment on Ditch the DIY Drama: Why Use Fedify Instead of Building ActivityPub from Scratch? 2 months ago:
I’d argue this is more like “I want to build a competitor to spotify so let’s decide between using mariaDB or writing an SQL compliant database from scratch”
In your example, a database is the end goal and you can either start with a premade or make your own.
Here, a social media platform is the end goal. Activitypub is a very important part of it but it’s not the entire piece.
If we replace the parts of your analogy with the original your example would parse out to “I want to make a competitor to lemmies ActivityPub integration, so let’s start with fedify” which is not the same as the article states.
Now, should you re-impliment a protocol yourself or use a generic library is the real question. Both have their benefits. With option A you have full code ownership and can wrap your solution around your end goal without the issue of dealing with the original to get needed changes accepted. You don’t have to worry about code not written by or understood by you. With option B, you get a more robust and almost certainly more accurate implementation. Along with, for free, better integration with any service using the same library. Very useful for a federated service when talking about cross platform.
Both have many more positives and negatives of course and each person should decide on their own how to proceed.
My opinion? I think it’s usually best to own anything which could feasibly be understood by a single dev. Even if each dev doesn’t. Anything larger shouldn’t be internal in my strong opinion. Most negatives of an external library also apply at that point with enough time.

I’d suggest the hands on approach personally. It may take some tomato get up though.
You can install a distro onto a USB stick and boot from it to play around and see if you like it.
Here’s a quick tutorial:
docs.fedoraproject.org/…/preparing-boot-media/And separately the distro I’d reccomemd using:
fedoraproject.org/spins/kde/After you create the live CD you should be able to keep it plugged in and boot to using this method from howtogeek:
howtogeek.com/…/beginner-geek-how-to-change-the-b…To be clear if you stop there Linux will not installed, you won’t lose any data, and you can just unplug the USB stick to allow windows to boot up when you restart.
One note, sinceit’s installed to a USB stick it’ll be a bit slower than if you installed it on your PC. Still though, it’ll be the same idea.
Here’s a full guide on how to install it:
