who precisely is snowing in self pity

I dunno, you're the one who talked about it. Don't ask me what you mean, lol, not my fault if you don't understand yourself

I don't see anyone wallowing in self-pity on my side of the fence here, it's a matter of 'violence costs lives' and you don't change a system to one that you prefer and most other people don't without organised and persistent violence

That bit largely already happened. Twitter isn't self-funded, it loses lots of money already. It's just a tool cumbadger Elon uses to exert influence. Like Bezos and WP, but better value for money.

I appreciate your service

Masturbating to the point of exhaustion

Your definition of practical and mine differ. For me, a path that makes my life considerably worse is not a practical path. I would assume the same is true for you, you're just unable to admit it.

I think they meant, like, practical actionable paths, not like 'I'm playing a Sim and everyone does what I say'. Perhaps they were trying to think about what people could do in the real world that we actually live in

Look, you can have nuance or you can have performative outrage, you don't get to have both. Lemmy has made its bed

Alas, doesn't fit my purpose since it requires action by the script user. I usually just use perl in those situations

Lotta potential positions you could take with regards to that system, y'know. cracks epistemological knuckles, what ya got? How do you decide how much weight to attribute to a fact you heard someone else tell you? Who? In what context? That stuff doesn't, I believe, have a pithy answer

Should've been a path there to begin with, clearly. Bad design

I never saw such a potent combination of gender politics and prolog

I can never get grep to work consistently on Mac and Linux. Now, ripgrep OTOH....

Thanks! That's wild, what a trip

For those of us who don't, do you have a reference to this?

Ocarina of time Red Alert .. yeah probably just those two would do me

This site is so good. Have found literally everything I've ever looked for there. Sometimes the torrents take a few hours to get trickling, but there are some absolute heroes seeding there
