I wish this was true. I live in a fairly blue area, and I see them IRL all the time. I’ve been called a “mindless Trump drone” for saying that the Democrats should stop running unpopular candidates and unpopular policies. I’ve been told I was a monster for thinking that the Democrats shouldn’t put up rapists as presidents, and that they shouldn’t bomb children.

While I do think the blue cult is amplified online, I think it is, unfortunately, very real as well.

Not usually. I don’t typically look too much at the instances I’m interacting on to know if they care about reports or not.

I generally tag people who are being shitty. It’s totally fine if they disagree with me about things, or downvote me or whatever. But if they just insult others, or openly lie/mislead, or yell at others without bringing an actual argument, then they start getting tags. After enough tags, they get blocked.

The good news is, you have no tags! :)

Remember when they got mad after Trump said “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters”? They said it was cult-like behavior by his followers.

But when Biden bombs children, or backs a genocide, it’s somehow not cult-like behavior to keep supporting him.

awesome, I’ll check that out

Chris Crawford was talking about this problem in 1992 and we still haven’t learned anything

The Dragon Speech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBrj4S24074

I couldn’t find a transcription, and it covers a lot more than education, but it’s a good speech. The relevant part starts at ~12:45

I forget where I heard the quote, but:

Stack Overflow is a great place to find answers. Stack Overflow is a terrible place to ask questions.

Patient gamers represent! The older I get, the less I care about FOMO. The less I care about FOMO, the happier I am. It’s a beautiful cycle.

I use LUKS and backup to a usb-drive that I have at home. I rsync those backups to my work once a week. Not everyone can backup to their office, but as others have said, backing up to a friend/family member’s house is doable. The nice thing about rsync is that you can limit the bandwidth, so that even though it takes longer, it doesn’t saturate their internet connection.

I love it when I have a mouse. It’s terrible on modern touchpads though :(

Behind the Insurrectionists

A lot of what he talks about prior to previous insurrections are pretty similar to what’s happening now.

Let me donate directly to Firefox development. Stop giving their terrible executives giant piles of money.

I moved to using a safety razor and it works great. You can get blades for super cheap.

Also, I don’t need shaving cream, just hot water in my shower. That doesn’t always apply to everyone though. Some people’s skin/hair are different, and they need different things to shave.

My point is that, if you are going to send me advertisements, at least make them easy for me to see. WTF would I jump through hoops to see an ad?

Right, I see that, and I also see the piped.video link. I don’t think I understand the point you are trying to make? Can you clarify?

I use rsync for a similar system. One of the nice things is that you can set a bandwidth limit so that it doesn’t saturate your family’s internet connections.

All I get from these links is “Sign in to confirm your age”
