I should’ve […] used trash

For those who don’t know: trash-cli

Lots of distros don’t use systemd, and a few non-AOSP distros don’t use GNU userland or glibc, Alpine for one.

How are all the AOSP-based OSes, like for instance GrapheneOS, not Linux distros?

(I guess with the exception of illegal content that has to be scrubbed)

Correct. There is a “purge” feature, but I’ve not yet had to resort such measures after several months of admining.

We’ve already seen it.

It wouldn’t hurt to have multiple accounts in different instances in case one goes down for maintenance so you can keep browsing.

Grass? Never touch the stuff. Worms fuck in it.

Good point, and quite grim. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that California voters, by popular referendum, chose to uphold slavery this month.

An ideology being invisible to you because you are raised in it does not make it any less explicit.

And invisible ideology in the imperial core today is zombie neoliberalism.

Hitler and Marx are related if you’re a believer in horseshitoe theory or in Hannah Arendt’s totalitarianism. You’ll never guess who funded and promoted Arendt (who unsurprisingly came from a wealthy family) and her theory.

One of the centerpieces of the cultural cold war was the Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF), which was revealed in 1966 to be a CIA front. Hugh Wilford, who has researched the topic extensively, described the CCF as nothing short of one of the largest patrons of art and culture in the history of the world. Established in 1950, it promoted on the international scene the work of collaborationist academics such as Raymond Aron and Hannah Arendt over and against their Marxian rivals, including the likes of Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir.

This seemed very sketchy to me.

Some of Ayn Rand’s earliest works are out of copyright now. Would that have made you more comfortable?

I don’t know, where? Vagueposting isn’t cute.

Obviously violent “protesters” can’t be allowed to terrorize a city. But that’s not the narrative imperial core media spun about it. They spun a story about “freedom fighters”. It’s what they always do.

Behind a made-for-TV Hong Kong protest narrative, Washington is backing nativism and mob violence

The core Lemmy devs admin this instance and use it as a guinea pig for new software releases, but otherwise it’s not special.

I don’t know your situation, and I don’t have a crystal ball, but I think Trump’s rhetoric is going to rub up against the will of the bourgeoisie which relies on exploiting immigrant labor. Republicans talk a big game about immigrants and then exploit the precarity & fear that it generates. Not to imply that the fear isn’t justified, because it’s not all talk.

As far as we’re concerned there is no “main” instance, we don’t want there to be one, and we explicitly state that lemmy.ml is not that. What is lemmy.ml?

That does help. After all it was black Americans who invented wokeness, before white liberal Americans co-opted it and perverted its meaning. The marginalized have always experienced the fascism that’s been baked into the American project since the beginning.

I gave up on “smart” devices after giving them zero chances. I’ve never bought one.

We’ll never be finished with bourgeois theory: it’s what we’ve been fed our entire lives, usually without even realizing it. It’s just common sense.

When will you savages learn that non-Americans are not people.
