    How Americans describe politician's views

    Jump

  • We literally have no representation for Marxism, communism, socialism, or anarchism.

    That's a problem. And calling a moderate centrist "left" doesn't help in the slightest, because you stop noticing the gap and readjust your expectations based on that.

  • For email you could self host if you learn a bit about warming up and deliverability, but I agree that's the only exception where people should just use an online service.

    Though for privacy, I do use the custom domain with Purelyemail as the host, but if a site is trashy enough to not allow me to use my email - then I distrust it automatically, and use a Gmail account I don't care nor use for anything but accepting those email confirmations for account creations, or when stores force me to say an email before adding a coupon or something like that.

  • The issue with lies, and any good liar will tell you that, is that once you lie you need to maintain that lie forever. You keep adding new lies, new layers, new context, and this house of cards becomes more and more convoluted, large, and fragile. It takes one piece to fall for everything to come down, yet, because everything is a chain of lies, you can't stop.

    So imagine what happens when you take the most valuable GPU company and go all in on AI, creating insane investments into everything that happens to use those two letters, purposely entering into circles where one company invests into another that invests back into the same company.

    You can't get out, you're too far deep into the web of lies. You are so deep you must convince yourself with your own lies, because you added so many and everything is so fragile that your own mind is now an obstacle.

    Good fucking luck when it crashes down.

  • Bernie and AOC being described as "far left" makes me think US citizens are even more politically illiterate than I previously thought, which is extremely surprising, because I already believed they had the political literacy of an unborn child.

  • If you're already going through the trouble of leaving Google... leave subscription services altogether.

    Think about the reasons and headaches involved in your Google migration: you don't control their policies and what they do with your data, they can keep raising prices or killing features you want, migrating platforms is a mess, you are at the mercy of their abstractions and APIs, a board of directors change could turn the company into the opposite of what you trusted it for... Guess what, exactly all of the same points apply to Tuta, or Proton, or whoever else.

    Don't repeat the same mistake, don't find yourself looking for a "de-Proton your life" guide 8 years from now. Have your pictures in your computer, there are many easy ways to organize, browse, and sync them. Keep copies of your music. Keep backups, they're automatic, encrypted and compressed nowadays. Have your own calendar and notes, you can pick from a multitude of choices with any UI imaginable. Sync your files with SyncThing, it's faster and more powerful than whatever "cloud" you could get.

  • How often do you update your system?

  • I use Apdatifier for KDE and it checks every 180 minutes. If there are updates, I update.

  • Why don't we have more stuff with character and personality?

    It's extremely easy for 10 members of a design team to sprint together a minimalist design on Canva on their MacBooks whilst using the rest of the quarterly budget on a third monitor for each member than it is to create designs that have textures, realistic materials, etc, and scale well on all screens and so on.

  • Because it's not about who the aggressor is

    You say that, but it clearly is exactly about who the aggressor is. The way the USA is treated on Reddit and Lemmy is significantly more lenient and smoothened out than anybody else.

    The US does something horrible, the comments are wondering if there's a hidden good reason why, comparing how Russia and China must be worse, or writing an analogy about how that like the early days of the Nazi regime (in other words, an external checkpoint).

    The asymmetry is precisely the issue, and replying with a cheesy paragraph changes nothing.

  • The feeling of cold weather is entirely subjective. A Brazilian from Bahia will wear a winter coat and feel cold at 20C, but somebody from northern Canada would be going out for a swim in their shorts.

    Which is why any attempt at using "oh it means cold percentage" or "oh below zero it just feels the same" is extremely dumb and a easily refutable attempt at saving a bad scale.

  • Reddit and Lemmy users loved spamming that "Tiananmen Square" copypasta because "oh China bad will censor it, you can actually make fake chinese users be banned by copying it".

    I wonder if they'll love spamming the Epstein and ICE links now that the USA monitors and censors those.

  • Now replace Windows with Linux, and fucking invest into not needing to use American-controlled CPUs as every single one of them contains a backdoor.

    I don't understand why governments trust official matters in the hands of closed source software and suspicious hardware. Even China uses a special version of Windows 11 in public computers, this is nuts.

  • The separation between "human" and "nature", or even "my body" and "the external world" are mere convenient illusions created by your nervous system to make living easier. There are no frontiers.
