I'm gonna blow your fucking mind: Muslims can be conservative

I think the criticism is that it's less likely to build an ecosystem like a Gnu Public License would (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RepRap for an example of a 3d printer that very successfully used the GPL). The CC license prevents large corporations from stealing the design. But it also prevents someone from 3D-printing parts and selling them on a small ebay store.

Seeing the dissembled printer makes me want it regardless of license tbh

I think the feds just asked printer manufacturers nicely

Going back to the factory example I gave. Two companies now. One of them doesn't hire Black women. One of them doesn't hire any women. If someone calls to boycott both companies, and you decide to only boycott the worse of two evils, IMO you are siding with an oppressor

imagine an election between an avowed racist that's weirdly good on trans issues, and an avowed racist that also hates trans people. As a white trans woman, I would implore you to boycott that election

but im not an opp,

Either you have no opps, or you are your opps' opp

Is the undocumented black disabled Trans woman in your city safer under the leadership of someone who is a bigot in all regards, or is she safer under the leadership of someone who is transphobic but otherwise supportive?

You just invented intersectionality, but in a way that defends the oppressors. Here's the classic example of intersectionality:

Say there's a company. They have an office and a factory. The factory hires white men and Black men. The office hires white men and white women. Black women are not hired in any part of the company. That is an example of how someone at the intersection of two marginalized groups (Black people and Women), faces discrimination that are unique to that intersection. The company isn't disciminating against all Black people, and they're not discriminating against all women. But when the two are combined, NEW FORMS OF OPPRESSION ARISE

Let's go back to your example of the undocumented gay Black autistic disabled homeless albanian furry nonbinary trans woman... SHE is going to face types of discrimination you and I would never dream of. She would have a complex multifaceted life that we would only understand the most basic contours of. Whether or not she's "safer under the leadership of someone who is transphobic..." is just an insane hypothetical without enough details to be any use as a thought experiment.

Whenever I publicly criticize Democrats who flirt with or outright promote anti-trans positions, random social media accounts will appear seemingly out of thin air to insist that I must “vote blue no matter who.”

It's you! If You read the article before commenting, you certainly didn't understand or internalize any of it

If the choice is between Blue Hitler Vs. Being Dippy's Opp, I'm choosing being your opp every time. sorry. What are you gonna do about it, shoot me? Put me in a camp?

On paper iraq was a dangerus oponent

They were not a dangerous opponent on paper, that's why the US invaded and said it would be a "cakewalk"/"greeted as liberators", etc. In 1991? Sure, dangerous on paper. Much less so after the highway of death and a decade of sanctions/periodic bombing

Ugh that sucks soo much. I see another comment mentioning planned parenthood gave you some hope, which it should! PP follow the "informed consent" model of HRT. That's where as long as you are aware of the effects/risks of HRT, they will prescribe it for you. No therapy or psychs or diagnoses needed (although the HRT did make it easier for me to pursue those other treatments, too). If you're in the US or canada, here's a map of informed consent providers https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/erins-informed-consent-hrt-map-how

I got stood-up by a chaser, and I think it turned me asexual

Cool idea! Although in the age of slop, I think your project would be more like indexing a curation of the web.

Have you considered something like the Library of Congress system? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_of_Congress_Classification Because of the inclusion of the Date, maybe maybe this could be used in conjunction with archive.org

 

Drill, Baby, Drill!!

"Energy independence" was sold as a way for the US empire to disengage from the middle east - as if domestic gold mines in spain should've prevented colonization. Instead, it just provided more of an economic cushion for the empire when they fuck with western asia.

On the flip side of this, Biden's only contribution to world peace was depleting the strategic petroleum reserve. https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&s=WCSSTUS1&f=W

 

a scene from Jarhead (2005), the movie about how US troops can't take a little boredom. It follows a marine in the '91 invasion of Iraq. I think it speaks to the psychology of bored US troops in general

 

What's up with this "ex" CIA guy? I keep seeing him show up on youtube recommendations but I'm not gonna watch that shit. Is the CIA courting libs now?

Screenshot is literally him talking about the assassination of Abdulrahman al-Awlaki (not in the first person of course)

 

I saw this on reddit, downvoted to hell on an insane anti-china sub. I think it's pretty cool to hear the different languages/dialects. I don't know anything about the youtube channel.

 
 
 

My biggest gripe about the default GNOME settings. Are there any sickos that use black text on white?

 

This is a video by a guy who spent years at the Shaolin temple himself. It's pretty funny

 

OK, I'm on Debian Trixie with Gnome and just got a new (used) geforce 1050ti graphics card. I installed the proprietary drivers, and everything was working fine (after wrangling wine issues) until I turned on the sound. Playing something simple from a single audio source would work OK. But if another program started playing something, or if I pause/played quickly, then the audio would get all distorted and echo-y.

So far, the only way I can get the audio to be stable is the following:

  1. in gnome settings, set the audio output to HDMI/displayport
  2. install easyeffects
  3. under output/players, enable the PipeWire ALSA [fluidsynth] playback
  4. under PipeWire/General, uncheck the "Use default output", and change the output to "Built-in Analog Stereo" (which in my case isn't hooked up with anything)

Alternatively, I can changev the Gnome settings to the "Built-in Analog", and then in easyeffects, I can exclude the pipewire ALSA, and enable whatever programs I want to hear. The problem with this method is the Gnome volume control then doesn't work.

I'm mainly posting in hopes this gets indexed and helps some other wayward linux weirdo in the future. But I'm also curious if yall have any suggestions for a more permanent fix. Remove ALSA? In the default configuration, it definitely seems like there's some feedback or doubling or interference going on with pipewire and/or ALSA.

But linux audio is still black magic to me. I don't even know if ALSA or pipewire is a lower level. It's one of those situations where I half-solve a problem I couldn't find by googling, and just want to put it out in the ether

 
 

Not because DDG got better, but just because google got worse.

google is still better for site-specific searches, and google scholar still has minimal AI slop
