when i saw the trump flag flying at my sister’s house; i turned around and left instead of staying with them during xmas like we planned.

i think it stung me more than it did them since i hadn’t seen them in five years and they think of me as the bleeding heart liberal flake so they don’t care whether or not they see me besides my siblings.

i’m resolved not to visit them anymore and hope it goes well for them and I; but it’s automatically not possible…

same here; now i feel better about having to move off firefox eventually.

this one:

… If you look at this Lemmy development co-leader’s opinions on transgenderism, are you going to stop using this software that lets you converse on an LGBTQ+ safe-space instance with no involvement on a social level from said developer/founder?

if actions speak louder than words, then what does it say about your pink washing attempt?

A CEO or any kind of leader gets to determine the path that their organization takes. Slater may seem good now; but we won’t know until the proof shows up in the pudding, so you can only try to guess based on whom she take orders from. (Fwiw: I hope you’re right)

Bourgeoisie liberals do indeed use the transgendered in the same way that they used gays back in the 1990’s, as little more than a virtue signal and now (just like back then) they retreat from that virtue signal when it no longer suites their purposes.

Unlike the Democrats & other liberals; there is plenty proof in Lemmy’s pudding of its creators’ intentions. The generations long reconciliations that LGBTQIA people had to struggle & die to force acceptance in the western world; despite the Democrats; is now falsely appropriated to pink wash anyone/anything who disagrees like it is here.

Same here; but I’m switching to tuta

yes, there was an additional package you could install that came from the project that worked with xscreensaver

i forgot which desktop-environment/window-manager it was (icewm?) but it had a nice collection of old screensavers like the pipe maze and the bouncing marque and starfied warp and flying toasters, etc.

it was almost 20 years ago so i assume that ms or apple would have come suing by now

Based on the fact you’re using Arch I’m going to guess that you’ve already considered the distros they are meant for older hardware like damn small Linux and puppy Linux; but you want to set this up for a child and Hannah Montana Linux fits the bill even though this distro is mean as a joke, I bet the aesthetics will work.

windows 2000.

just like today it’s clearly rock solid to everyone; including to those who hate windows; and has a big following but still not mainstream and is getting cockblocked by better financed alternatives.

you’re on the wrong instance

Reddit is an American website and the Americans mainstream disregarded a genocide to vote for fascism.

Lemmy was invented by and built for leftists and others who reject this sort of mainstream perspective.

You’re advocating for a reddit like perspective on Lemmy and both the moderate American & reddit perspective is unpalatable and immoral; Lemmy is better of wo this perspective.

The people on your primary instance have qualms about genocide and fascism but believe neither are important enough to change; it would probably help you to focus your feed on your instance.

They’re big parts of the American Overton window now; yet you called their consideration

a much more balanced and wide spectra of political views

And you continue to prove the point that Lemmy has a “far left” overweight. I’ll remind you again that I’m not talking about whether I think you are right or wrong, just that it’s an echo chamber for opinions like this.

genocide is never acceptable and facism is never okay; these are facts, not opinions.

In my experience this kind of comments and “far left” views are the norm on Lemmy. I think that in this regard Reddit had (I have not been there since the API shutdown) a much more balanced and wide spectra of political views …

redditors (like most americans) proved that they believe a genocide is acceptable political collateral damage and that facism is okay; that’s fucked and not at all balanced in any way.

it’s in the court transcripts.

there’s also an economic problem with banning tiktok: tens of millions of americans rely on it as a source of income and its banning will effectively become the biggest layoff in american history and will have detrimental impacts to our already fraught economic situation.

i somewhat get around this insisting that i use a kvm/linux based virtual machine; but i doubt that it’s very effective given that i’m still using my employer’s vpn connection and software.

i envy you. lol

all of them were on reddit; they lol’ed and shitposted about various genocides and institutional tortures and it made me leave.
