SDF had been nothing short of terrible for me for the 2 years I've been using it. It's easily in the top spot for worst money I've ever spent on anything. And I'm not talking about just Lemmy...

The only reason I'm still here is inertia. But I have a shadow account on Sopuli and I'm getting awfully close to switching for good.

It's different this time around.

The previous attempts were about freeing themselves from an abusive unprincipled data-hungry big data monopoly,

This attempt is about freeing themselves from an abusive unprincipled data-hungry big data monopoly operating in a fascist country and in cahoots with the regime.

I reckon it's serious this time.

how can she call herself a Christian and be in the MAGA cult?

If she's a MAGA christian, she's in two cults.

The obvious answer to your question is that she's prone to falling prey to cults.

Proving once again, if there was still a need, that MAGAts aren't the brightest candles on the chandelier.

Well, FEMA funds are being redirected towards building concentration camps in the Everglades. Whatcha gon do without any money?

Is there anything in the US that gets better?

poettering is an absolute good guy here

Agreed. But he's also an abrasive know-it-all. A modicum of social skills and respect goes a long way towards making others accept your pet projects.

pulesaudio protocol is used within pipewire and it works just fine.

I wasn't talking about the protocol, I was talking about the implementation: PulseAudio is a crashy, unstable POS. I can't count the number of hours this turd made me waste, until PipeWire came along.

Poor little Grok is just trying to make Daddy proud...

I totally agree. I used to hate systemd for breaking the traditional Unix philosophy, but the reality is that a tight init and service-tracking integration tool really was required. I work with and appreciate systemd every day now. It certainly didn't make things simplier and easier to debug, but it goes a long way towards making a Linux system predictable and consistent.

Poettering can go fuck himself though - and for PulseAudio too. I suspect half of the hate systemd attracted over the years was really because of this idiot.

He's a head of state. That automatically qualifies him to nominate people.

Of course, the Nobel committee is also perfectly free to say "This nomination of a fucking fascist by a fucking genocidal maniac...Should we do a Kissinger again or shall we just close the file and go have a beer instead?"

A friend of mine is a Nobel Prize nominee. It's not hard: all it takes is someone with vaguely convincing creds to write a letter to nominate you.

In his case, he asked a University teacher friend of his to write the letter. And just like that, he was nominated. He'd been putting "Nobel Prize nominee" on his resume to impress potential employers for decades.

Most people who say "Not my president" are Americans who feel ashamed. Nobody else in the world feels the need to say that because they have no reason to be ashamed.

Not my president

Sorry but he is totally your president. You can't be in favor of the democratic process of elections and then distance yourself from the outcome.

You as a nation voted for Trump. He's your president. You own the consequences along with all Americans.

I don’t keep up with everything he does

You should, if only to know when the ICE Gestapo might come knocking at your door or when it's time to flee because it's too dangerous to stay in the US.

Hmm, tell you what: maybe the migrants could live in shacks near the farm, so they wouldn't have the difficulties of finding a place to stay without papers. And the farmer could provide basic foodstuff for them. The migrants would save on commuting and groceries.

And then to solve their undocumentated status, maybe the farmers could own the migrants: if they're somebody's, then they have a legal status, right?

And then we could rename the farms plantations.

Even the Waffen SS felt uncomfortable murdering innocent civilians, both in Germany and abroad. But guess what: they still did it.

That's the power of military training. What makes you think US military will behave any different when the time comes?

Soldiers are indoctrinated into obeying orders despite their best judgment. That's how human beings convince other human beings to voluntarily lay down their lives in someone else's interests and against their own.

They are also told in no uncertain terms that they'll face prison or execution if they refuse to obey.

So while they are cutely told they have a duty to disobey illegal orders, practically they are heavily biased towards doing the exact opposite.

The eye-popping expansion of the American GestapoICE, and the deployment of army and national guard within the US - since Posse Commitatus has been thrown out the window - all but ensure that there won't be any uprising any time soon. And when there is eventually, millions will die.

Welcome to Nazi America. The Americans wanted it, they voted for it, and now they have it.

The downside is: you work for Fuckerberg.
How much is your good conscience worth, is the question.
