  • I do, but brain farted and just kept looking on Pygmalion's site.

  • From all the war stories you see online, they don't have that much to lose.

  • Don't know. As long as it is open source, I'm not sure it would matter. Eventually one would win out with the community.

  • It would have to be a defined standard. I imagine it not so much as a script that runs, but rather a description of fields and weights. I guess there might be some computation involved, but I think a standard could be devised that there would minimize the security risk.

  • Which would make it important that the default would be something with no tweaks, like a chronological list. But I would be all for a scripting setup or some other configurable sorting engine to play with on a per-account basis. Maybe you could even subscribe to other's sorting configuration.

  • Doesn't seem like he was implying anything. Just stating the fact that part of the burden of citizenship is sometimes having to interact with law enforcement, maybe even go to trial, even if you've done nothing wrong.

  • I'm no closer to understanding how the original meme is so out of date.

    1. Happy to help. Not sure what the year has to do with the meme, tho.
  • They probably already know what they’ll be shooting at with it, because both sides are supporting it.

    People that show any signs of class solidarity.

  • I use Publii. It is a static site generator, and it's open source. In my opinion, statically generated sites are superior for a lot of purposes. You can upload the generated site to any web hosting service. It doesn't include any trackers. It actually only produces the content you ask it to.

    It is also very easy to use. The interface is a lot like what you'd expect if you're familiar with Wordpress or similar. If you have an existing Wordpress blog, you can import it and keep all your content.

    My blog is generated by Publii. There is no code running on the server, it is all plain HTML. I run a self hosted tracking service myself, but I had to intentionally add it to the footer of the generated pages.

  • I didn't invent our voting system. I just do the best I can within the system. I vote for the best person running in the primary, then I vote for the best person left running in the general election. "Best" is relative, but it is what it is.

  • A good chunk of them are just mean and want liberals to suffer because they find them annoying.

  • Hard to pick out new wall paper when your house is on fire and burning down.

  • Fair, but the more people you have, with more diverse viewpoints, the harder it will be to get people to agree on what is hateful. And the more nuanced your laws, the harder it will be to agree on what is reasonable or even clear.

  • If the populace has a bigoted plurality, then they get to declare what is officially hateful. So yes, you're right.

    I put the onus on the collective citizenry, but there is no perfect solution in reality. There is a role for the state to play in protecting people, I just don't think they should dip much into what speech is or isn't allowed. The majority should rule in my opinion, but we have the job of maintaining a majority that isn't regressive bigoted shitheads. It's an eternal struggle, unfortunately.

  • You're partly right. But it's the job of the citizenry to stand up to this stuff, not the state. We can't keep our heads down and hope it goes away on its own. We shouldn't allow the state, with its monopoly on violence, to fight our social battles for us.

    I dislike the idea of the state getting to start making decisions on what is "hateful". And I'm disgusted we don't have more people standing up and loudly declaring how wrong the hateful viewpoints are. It is our responsibility and we are failing.

    It is a tempting proposition to let the state handle hateful speech, but we don't have to look much further than Florida to see what happens when the shit side is in power and starts redefining what is "hateful".

  • Still not serious about all this, huh. I have a hard time telling if he's legitimately losing it or just playing around hoping to run out the clock. Probably a combination of both, but this just seems like the worst way to handle this situation. And yet, he keeps getting away with it.

  • The main barrier here is the basic computer knowledge. Jewelry design is almost certainly going to have to be solved by a CAD solution. And CAD is a complicated type of design work to do on computers.
