Neolibs use "whataboutism" to avoid responding to comments that actually make them consider whether their beliefs are silly or not. Instead of actually considering the argument they slit out a buzzword and promptly ignore whatever was said.

No see it's NOT a threat when the US surrounds China with literally dozens of military installations placed as close to their border as possible and actively practices military drills on their borders with their puppet states because the US is "good" and China is "bad" and our understanding of geopolitics shouldn't go any further than that because China scary bad

Tell me you're a lib who doesn't know what imperialism is without saying it directly holy fucking shit

Why are there so many brain dead takes in this thread? Who the fuck can possibly believe that imperialism can't be imperialism if it's "invited"?

It's amazing anyone can believe they are well informed and unironically say this bullshit

Reddit refugees on lemmy: it's nice to be on a site that doesn't have lots of power hungry mods arbitrarily banning people

Also reddit refugees on lemmy: BAN ALL THE INSTANCES THAT I DONT AGREE WITH POLITICALLY

No, but I can't remember whether the OS installation includes options for setting up a wifi connection. Safest bet is to use ethernet.

It's not all that hard.

Youll need a pihole and a micro SD card for it. On that micro SD you're going to install the operating system. There is a guide for how to do this on the raspberry pi website. As part of that installation, you can tell the installer to also install an SSH server. That will allow you to connect remotely. You can also have the installer create a user account for you. Do that.

Once you've done that you'll put the SD card into the pihole and plug in the pihole. It should boot from the SD card. Plug the pihole into your router via ether net, this is very important. It guarantees it will get an IP address.

Check your router for the pihole. You should see it. Grab it's ip address, and use whatever SSH client you like. On windows I like mRemoteNG. SSH into your pis IP address using the username and password you made earlier, when you installed the OS. Then, Google pihole. Follow the install directions on the pihole. Once it's set up, set your router to use it for DNS.

That's all!

If they don't want to have rules that our society finds acceptable they don't have any right to just exist. This isn't a person were talking about they are an education institution. A school cannot by definition have a religion because it isn't a person. I don't particularly care if the people wo made the school are themselves religious; that should not give them the right to use their new founded institution to enforce those beliefs on other people. If you want to teach people I think you should be held to certain standards, and one of those standards is that you shouldn't restrict the freedom of your students.

Having sexual morality rules is absolutely restricting their freedom. People have a right to privacy that such rules inherently violate.

I still don't see how it's legal for an accredited university to have rules prohibiting sexual activity of their students

Want to be a religious school? That's fine, but you won't be accredited to teach any Gen Ed classes. Have your catholic pastor school, or your rabbinical school, that's fine. But you won't be making those into general education colleges.

I would literally die, I already got drunk at dragoncon tonight, 10 more beers and I die

Nope, not available her ein the states.

If premium cost $5per month I'd pay for it, u use YouTube all the time

No way in hell it's worth $15 a month though, their pricing is completely brwindead

I genuinely think that advertising should be illegal at this point. It's a ridiculous concept.

The racism is so blatant. Idk how this isn't a civil rights lawsuit already, the whole situation is utterly ridiculous.

Sim Park

Idk if anyone else ever even heard of it, it was a late 90s Sim game where you built a wildlife park.

I agree 100%. I set up a home server after reddit fell, and unfortunately I've been having to use reddit to ask a lot of my questions. The communities for the stuff I need to ask here on Lemmy just don't exist, and on reddit they do, and you'll get responses pretty quickly.

For any kind of programming questions reddit has been far better than lemmy simply because it is significantly more populated.

Yeah this is a definition of "theft" that doesn't really work at all with the commonly used one.

Like, if you download a torrent, it was uploaded by someone else, willingly. If they bought a DVD and handed it to a friend, that friend wouldn't be stealing the DVD. But now, if they upload the file to the internet for other people to watch, this class is calling that theft.

Its the kind of "theft" that leaves no victims. The alleged "victim" isn't the person from whom the content was downloaded, no, it's the third party who originally sold that person the product in the first place.

The whole concept isn't logically consistent, but the corporations wrote the laws and get to decide how they are enforced and what they mean so it doesn't matter that the law makes no sense and is punishing people for "crimes" that are, at their very core, victimless.

Also I'd argue that none of this really matters because language doesn't follow an absolute set of rules. Language is how people use it. If people start using a word to mean so thing it take son that meaning, it doesn't matter if the word makes sense in relation to other words.

A word for something isn't a 100% accurate description of that thing and it never has been. It doesn't matter that a peanut isn't technically a nut, we call it a peanut. Everyone understands that it's a peanut. If you walk up to someone on the street and say "do you know where I can buy some peanuts" they will understand what you are saying with no problems at all.

We spend way too much time arguing over the "right" and "wrong" uses of words. There is no such thing really. Words don't determine their own meaning, people determine that meaning, and if enough people can regocnize a words meaning immediately when they hear it then it is a word with a valid definition. It doesn't matter if the word is contradictory to the way other similar words work, because language isn't defined like that.

Ironically this whole stupid "homophobic peoe aren't scared of gay people" actually proves that the person making that claim does acknoedge that the word homophobia is linguistically valid, because they are acknowledging that it's understood definition differs from what you would expect if you strictly read the word literally

What us the definition of "hydrophobia" as it relates to chemistry?

I'll wait for you to explain how some molecules are leterally afraid of water.
