Yeah, compromise requires a degree of shared reality, goals, and ethics, which has declined super hard over the past few decades.

Bullshit. At no point does the article tell women to compromise with misogyny. That is what the (un)fair title says and that is a lie.

They do though (subtly), as it's the logical conclusion of their stupid suggestion. Just because they didn't smack you in the face with it doesn't mean they're not doing it.

That said, I do agree that there are subtle messages throughout society that women ought to do the compromising

I'm glad you agree, as this WaPo article is one such example. Gonna reiterate though that compromise involves both parties making concessions.

Still, it isn’t fair to make all those implications and accusations the fault and sole responsibility of the Washington Post.

No one is doing that? The WaPo article in question is just one particular example of many of this phenomenon.

Can we agree that sensationalistic media coverage is generally a bad thing?

I mean, sure, but it's not really relevant to the conversation here. Also, I hate to break it to you, but:

I remember a time before FOX – a time when journalism was supposed to be unbiased

Manufacturing Consent was first published in 1988 and used examples from the 1960s to make their case, which predates the existence of Fox News by several decades. "Unbiased journalism" has not been a thing for at least 60 years, if it ever existed at all. Shit's worse now, don't get me wrong, but it was never actually good during most of our lifetimes and looking at the past with rose-tinted glasses is not going to produce an accurate picture.

and the headline here is just as bad as some of mis-spun crap I’ve seen there (like referring to undocumented as ‘criminals’ to promote the idea that cities are not safe).

This is just ridiculous hyperbole. Following a suggestion to its logical conclusion is nowhere near as bad as intentionally smearing marginalized groups in order to incite state violence (and maybe some stochastic terrorism) against them.

Also from the article:

A cultural shift might be necessary — one that views politics as a part of people’s identity but far from the most important part. Americans’ ability to live together, quite literally, might depend on it.

Their suggestion to enact a cultural shift that deprioritizes politics does not actually address the problems with being a chud (the misogyny being one component of that), thus having to compromise/make peace with it is the logical conclusion of their suggestion. Compromise in general suggests that both sides of a dispute are making concessions towards each other, when in reality it's the chuds who need to stop being ghouls. This would also fall in line with the larger media trend of telling liberals to move to the right. The WaPo article itself is more subtle about this than explicit, but I do not think the headline of the FAIR article is inaccurate.

Interop with C was given first class support in Rust, so the Rust scene tends to tap into the C ecosystem more than C++'s.

You're giving neolibs too much credit TBH; a lot of them are just ghouls that hate the left. Though as neoliberalism is the status quo, I suppose you could call them conservatives.

You should go for the jugular TBH. Ask them why they're mad that the left takes issue with support for apartheid/ethnic cleansing, building border walls, and the other fascist policies that have bipartisan support; someone going on about "democracy or fascism" like this needs to be forced to answer for why they support these things.

Edit: just saw your edit. My advice still applies. I'd also say that arguing over how far left these politicians are is an irrelevant tangent for the most part. Just make them answer for why they support fascist policy and oppose people calling it out; put them on the defensive and make them try to justify it.

That's still being too generous. There was some semblance of a welfare state during the pandemic, most of which is gone now. Combined with the fact that inflation has driven bills through the roof, it's definitely much worse. My household's monthly grocery bill increased over $200 for the same amount of food and the rest of our bills have also seen increases. Meanwhile, our household income did not increase enough to compensate. We've basically lost all of our disposable income and are having to make cuts to stay afloat. This is a worse financial spot than we were in even 5 years ago.

This comment chain is superb discourse to start off today's internetting with.

I've been using this for awhile now. It looks nice, but it's a bit sluggish.

It's just Twitter run by the old CEO. There's some promises that it's going to be decentralized at some point, but no real motion towards that yet AFAIK. Anyone on the Fediverse should just pick Firefish or Mastodon over it.

Mozilla has been a big advocate for a decentralized web for awhile now. Joining the Fediverse seems like a natural move for them; honestly surprised they didn't do it sooner.

Definitely no serious consequences to such a thing, no siree.

Ooooh, is that what happened? I noticed Antennae got worse after the rebrand but wasn't sure what happened.

I've been enjoying Piped for awhile now; it actually shows me a feed that's exclusively my subscriptions and has SponsorBlock built in.

I've been using PipeWire for a couple years now and it's honestly the most painless audio experience I've ever had on Linux. Looking forward to the 1.0 release!

FAIR put out an article recently that covered the disparity between Israeli media coverage and US media coverage of this situation, noting pretty much the same thing in addition to US papers calling for "national unity."

Yep, instead of it being a playground to have fun and community, it's a Very Serious Thing^TM where everyone is either striving for that cash or trying to produce domestic terrorists. It's so shit.

Build a checker for AI-generated content too please!

Then I'd recommend getting a Lily58 with MX hotswap sockets and putting whatever mechanical switches/keycaps you want on it.

Don't your wrists still bend at weird angles with ortho compared to a split colstaggered board? Why not a Lily58 or a Sofle board? With QMK and Via you can set up a number layer to be just like a numpad (I do this with my Corne board), as well as having a utility layer for media keys.
