- Comment on Why are people preferring Blue Sky over Mastodon? 1 day ago:
Because they liked Twitter, and Bluesky is (presumably) like Twitter before Elmo bought it.

I have never been in a domicile in Texas that did not have something Texas-shaped in plain view.
- Comment on Ouch my texicles 3 weeks ago:
Texas is the most self-obsessed state. California isn’t too far behind, but I imagine Alaska and Hawaii are both contenders for 2nd place as well.

Hillary Clinton considered him a “great friend and mentor” so I guess I could have said her. I’m also fully aware of the liberal tendency to place a higher importance on image than on policy.

If all you want to see are opinions and memes that fit within the political confines of the New York Times, then .ml probably isn’t for you. Lemmy.world has taken a very brave (and rare!) stance of being a champion of neoliberal politics. The mods and users here will do everything they can to make sure you aren’t exposed to any political philosophy to the left of Henry Kissinger.

- Comment on Do you refrain from participating to a community if it's hosted on Lemmy.ml ? 4 weeks ago:
Ah, the daily whinge-fest on Lemmy.world. In my 3 decades using the internet, I have never found online communities that are so consistently in opposition to US propaganda as the .ml’s and hexbear. .World is so militantly US-liberal it puts reddit to shame. You can find such opinions all over the internet, but real left wing politics are much rarer since you basically have to self-host them, unlike the corporate friendly liberal and fascist politics.

- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 2 months ago:
It doesn’t matter why the republican base believes in their party. Incidentally, you’re not entirely wrong about why, but they’ve had rebellion too: see the TEA party.
The democrat party strategy is different. Their base isn’t aggrieved axe-grinders. They’re earnest believers in the system. The problem is that the leadership doesn’t actually want to accomplish anything that would threaten corporate profits. Trump is great for them, since all they have to do is not be him! Policies be damned.
- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 2 months ago:
It’s because democrats are unwilling or unable to deliver on real policies for working people. Of course, republicans are the same, but they more or less don’t even pretend to, choosing instead to whip up their constituents with culture war nonsense. Nobody has any faith in things improving. Repubs just want to get revenge on their cultural enemies, and democrats (voters) just want to prevent a total slide toward the far right.
Dem politicians can’t whip up excitement because it is impossible to get people excited by neoliberal policies, but that’s really all they have. Vague platitudes only work so many election cycles in a row before voters just can’t even pretend to be excited anymore.
tl:dr republicans are awful but at least their base believes them.
- Comment on If you bought a 3D printer for personal use, was it worth it? 2 months ago:
Learn to model things in CAD. That’s what is limiting me from getting real use out of my printer. It’s fun to print models you find online, but the real value is in printing your own designs.
- Comment on What self hosting feels like (It's painful, please help 🥲) 3 months ago:
Probably yes. This would be for if you are starting fresh. It is a modified Debian install.

Yunohost is self hosting. You install Debian on your computer/server at home and run the Yunohost setup script.

Yeah, I can’t fuck with Docker either. Check out Yunohost if you want something that is actually easy to get up and running.

I went to a party in maybe 2003, that had basically a mini studio setup in one room. An SLR camera on a tripod with some studio lighting. People would just wander in there and snap some photos. It was pretty cool. Waaayyy out in the middle of nowhere VA.

I have no idea what point you are trying to make here. And I can only laugh when people say shit like “people got too upset that their taxes are funding genocide, and it made me stop caring about the genocide”.

So nothing, really. I’m also not very convinced that any US president is going to deviate very far from foreign policy status quo-- Trump loves the weapons manufacturers as much as Biden does, and both conflicts are ultimately a gift to them.
