Trump administration to garnish wages of 5.3 million defaulted student loan borrowers this summer
They proved your point, like .world always proves their toxicity.

We will see, it will take time to learn blindspots and biases.
But yes, gross and pathetic that someone wants the liberation of the workers, but is willing to ignore the liberation of some of them. Makes sense for someone who simps for Stalin.

"Can you say you're sorry?"
Nu: "Why would I do that? What's next, learning better?"

Notch moment is honestly a good term for this.
Sounds good! I hope it's fun.
I tried, doesn't work. There's no documentation for my laptop or its board codename. I briefly got it to consider an Arch Linux ARM ISO but it just looped an error code on boot until you turned it off.
The Chromebook I have, is overall fine. It runs ChromeOS pretty well, and most web pages don't make me beg for more RAM or CPU. ChromeOS does a fine job, to the point I wonder if I ran Arch or something on it, it's a crapshoot.
I think most laptops these days, even the cheap ones, are probably fine when you run a light OS on em. I've used computers that were 10 years old and ran most things decently well.

Honestly its fine, I'm apparently in a mood lately to write long diatribes about bullshit lately. I just wish I could put this energy into writing my scripts.
I'm just thankful the admins here don't hate me. I know I can be abrasive, I know I can be wrong, but its just nice to know right now I'm not being a moronic asshole.

I don't know how to put it into words, but I think smug insufferable liberals more annoying to deal with, than tankies who shitpost all day.
I think it helps Tankies don't really impact much on the grand scale of things. They're annoying sure, but right now on Hexbear's post about donating to Lemmy, they are actively calling out Num's transphobia. Hexbear has been... frustrating at times to deal with, but I can look at that place and not feel personally attacked more often.
lemmy.world personally shat on me and called me a liar, a useful idiot, a single issue voter, a russian bot, a psyop, or whatever else the liberals learned that weak from MSNBC, because I wanted Biden and then Harris to win. I said "Supporting this genocide is a bad look, its harmful optics to the people she wants to help. She should support trans people, show she's learned since arresting them and making them put in incorrect jail cells that got them killed." Wanting the democrats to win was considered evil and pro-Trump.
I've had comments removed and then banned from a community because I called out a liberal troll making new definitions of words to attack me. He said "You didn't vote." I proved I did, he then went "Silly bot, I never meant you when I said that word, I meant you in a different term no one else uses." I called him out, and I got banned for it. Defending the trolls gets you banned.
Not even getting into how they wanted to censor people discussing Luigi, wanted to platform flat world and other dipshit bullshit in the name of "discussion and sunlight stop ignorance", are comfortable with transphobic members being the most popular people on their platform, and so many more issues that I'd spend a while talking about.
Or that one of their memes takes memes from .ml while hating on them, and is calling for a boycott of .ml and lemmy, while using lemmy. I can agree with not liking .ml, but they actively want the dev's main ways of testing things and software that they actively used, underfunded to it stops working. Taking the compensation for labor away because they disagree with them. That's literally some of the most ignorant, childish shit I've heard.
Hexbear has called me an anarchkiddie and that's it really. Hexbear is more interesting to look at than .world. Even some .ml people I can disagree with poltically, are more put together and interesting to talk to than .world. To the point I go "Oh god, in 5 years time will I be a Stalinist because liberals irked me too much?"
I think something has changed on lemmy.world in the last few months, I think Harris' loss was a major shake up on their egos, some of which have seemingly changed their ways of how fascism can be defeated. I do however also think it made some double down.
I've seen people fully admit they blocked or banned "trolls" who were anti-genocide, and since they didn't see any more, it asserted their belief it was all Russian bots. They didn't see posts they blocked or removed or banned, so they were obviously justified. Even when those accounts are still active to this day.
Return2Ozma is probably among my favorite .world members. He's pretty cool. He called out Biden's racism bad practices at stopping Trump's second run, and doing some of what Trump wanted in the first place. Like stopping the testing of COVID. Keeping kids in cages.
And because of that, .world hates him. He said "Harris will lose if she doesn't fix this." Then banned him. He was right the entire time, and they hate him, like a dude on lemmy, which maybe 0.1% of the voting public even sees, personally cost Harris the election. Even to this day, several moderators will leave public comments of him using documented, reputable sources showing the DNC is complicit in Trump's running of America, and call it bad faith, fake news, propganda, etc. etc.
Ensign_Crab is also cool. I really dig their stuff. .world hates him. I'm shocked he's not banned because he refuses to bend the knee to Blue MAGA. I often check out his page just to see if he's posted anything neat lately, I enjoy his way of debating liberals.
Genuinely, .ml is often more tolerable. I don't get to see "well they deserved it for living in a red state" while ignoring that even people who vote blue are stuck in a red state. I don't see defending the IDF. I don't see people who think things are only bad now because Trump is in office.
I don't like the defense of China and Russia, but China and Russia don't impact me, a person in rural America. American polices being evil effects me more than China's polices being evil. China having my data is bad, but it's better than America, who will use it on me because I'm a leftist disabled queer.
This is a very long winded way of saying, Hexbear hasn't been the worst thing on db0 in my time here since I swapped instances. I like to call db0 my home here on Lemmy. It's not given me any issues, its never once rubbed me the wrong way with how the admin team has handled things. A small gripe here or there, but never a "I gotta jump ship ASAP."
God I hope I'm not too long winded on this, I swear to god this is edited. I had a bad day today.

They never called for your death. I'm also an American, and they never called for my death. Your ego is breaking, go see a therapist.
If my Chromebook could run Linux or even pure Android, I'd probably use it way more often. But it being a locked down distro with android bolted on is useless to me.
- I can't really do anything major on it that I can on a cheap laptop
- I can't really use it for the same games or programs on Android, as the form factor really gets in the way, even in tablet mode.
It feels like the worst of both worlds. It's fine for people who use a laptop/OS as a bootloader to a web browser, its not fine for weirdos like me.
Is this ironic?

Db0 has since updated their statement.

You jumped in their DMs to fight them? You defended Zionism? You took offense to being a member of colonialism and not doing anything about that?
Man you really are not the victim, you had it coming.

Posting a link would prove they're not the victim and infact are the agitator, so they won't.

Perfect image, thank you.

If .world defederated, lemmy would be instantly 50% less toxic. Plus I'd have to see less genocide apologia, bootlicking for politicians would would gladly have them murdered if it meant it looked good in the polls, and just general "you see, i can fix the problem by being the problem!"
"Yeah that makes sense, he was the 2nd worst Republican."
"Why are you bringing up someone who's no longer president? Why do you hate the guy who didn't try hard enough to fix his mistakes?"
Weird how calling someone out from a while for their actions works, but not calling someone out for their actions.
