  • Revisions don't really make sense for Framework in the same way as most other tech companies though, simply because of how upgradable and swappable the laptops are. My 13 probably has parts from two or three different "versions" at this point, and works like Lucky Charms.

  • I'd fight em and refuse to pay the extra on the bill. It's not your responsibility to fix their fuck-up when they are the ones estimating and billing you. If they want their money they shouldve given you the correct bill the first time. It's like getting a cheeseburger for $5, and then the restaurant realizes inflation exists and comes banging on your door for another $10 a month later.

  • I was literally told constantly growing up that finding something relatable and sharing is part of normal conversation, but then people would be offended if I did and tell me I'm "too quiet" if I didn't. Like wtf do yall want, WHAT DO I DO, GAAAHHHH . . .

    . . . fuck it, I'll just talk about trains the whole time

  • Ya sure 'bout that.

    Gerrymandering artificially shifts the political lines and, pushed far enough, it can have a domino effect even on elections not directly determined by district lines. Mostly because the new people in power will immediately begin messing with election laws or putting voting pressure on the people they "represent" in a bid to hang on to that power. Gerrymandering tips the balances, and when it tips too far for too long . . .

  • The link appears broken, so I don't know the specifics here, but defederation really needs to be a last resort as it kinda halts any chance of the conversation going the other way too. It helps create and support the extremified echo chambers that actively cause so many of our societal problems.

    If the instance is particularly problematic or exclusively causes harm, then it might be appropriate to nuke em. But it also effectively tells the entirety of Lemmy that this is not a conversation worth having, and that it is wrong (at least socially) to ever interact with these people. And, it tells the folks being defederated that whatever they are saying must be valid because it gets an extreme reaction. People are exceedingly unlikely to admit wrongdoing and change their behavior when action is taken against their community of like-minded buddies (echo chamber), they double down and become even more polarized.

    I know you mentioned speaking against defederation before, and I obviously don't fully understand the details here, but I feel like it bears repeating that defederation has to go beyond the moral opinions of any individual if we want to stave off circling the drain of overreactive garbage that places like Reddit or Twitter became.

  • Ah, did you have to talk to a nearly genetically identical girl whose skin happens to have more pigmentation? Maybe it was all the gays calling you names and perverting your children, or did the disabled people steal your seat on the short bus again?

    Are your poor whittle feelings gonna be ok? Do you need to colonize someone else's home and murder a bunch people to feel better?
