@lain did you need something?

I primarily use Vim, not Emacs, so I sometimes wonder: Are there Emacs implementation wars?

Are a large number of Emacs enthusiasts gonna be offended to learn that I have doom installed as a secondary text editor insead of GNU Emacs, XEmacs, or JOVE? 0:

@Nocta @RainierBeringer accurate, high-powered rifles and affordable ammunition are widely available in this country

@kebokyo @Nocta @RainierBeringer I meant for those of us who take issue with Elon’s genocide

@kebokyo @Nocta @RainierBeringer tbh, I don’t think they will

If Democrats make the only major change they promise, it will diffuse a lot of the political energy behind getting them elected

Kinda like how after the Republicans made abortion bans possible again, they lost a whole bunch of political energy behind supporting them

@kebokyo @Nocta @RainierBeringer if gun bans happen, it will only impact the neruodiverse, the queer, and people of color

Not the people shooting up schools and synagogues

I feel like a lot of people gloss over the fact that NeuraLink purely exists to “solve” autism

This was always just a genocide project even if it did actually work without killing several of its test subjects in the past few months

The only reason Brave and any of its products exist is as a shady cash grab after CEO Brendan Eich got fired from an executive position at the Mozilla Corporation for repeated instances of sexual harassment and coming out as a massive homophobe who was donating large amounts of money to lobby for gay marriage to be illegalized

The privacy marketing is a scam

They operate and monetize in all the same ways as Google: They are spying on you

They do cryptocurrency BS on top of that

Don’t buy in

@vriska Tumblr+ActivityPub+Porn again = seems chill to me

honestly, nobody should ever say the words “he only makes $21K a month on Patreon” unless they are being sarcastic

They should not say it even more about Eugen/Gargron/Mastodon’s lead developer, who makes nearly $30K a month from Patreon alone in addition to the funding from the 53 corporate sponsors listed on the official Mastodon website AND being employed full-time by a German research university to develop Mastodon

@Raspberry_Pi are those EKWB water blocks I spy? 0:

@cafkafk what an unpleasant human being lol

@cafkafk yeah, I am familiar with him (and with that take of his in particular as well as the plantsex stuff) :c

the problem I have with him isn’t that he has never agreed with me on anything

it’s that he has a really bad habit of thinking about himself first and everybody else never

@r000t idk bro, they clearly didn’t want that hidden and seem pretty okay with you and their followers seeing it

maybe get more comfortable with violence if you are establishing services that people are telling you will be used to facilitate it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

like, I get it if you genuinely had no clue, but please don’t play pretend as though you did nothing wrong and these people are

it just sounds like somebody trying to spin up narratives where you are a victim

@ryo @PhenomX6 Oh! I see

I wasn’t saying it would go poorly for them because they might choose not to pay

I meant that it would go poorly for them because they would be heavily pressured into paying and thereby not only end up parting ways with their money, but also giving their payment processing information to a company that just laid off almost its entire security team

@ryo @PhenomX6 I don’t think I understand how your reply relates to my own

@ryo @PhenomX6 Twitter’s new scheme seems to hinge heavily around getting you to give them all your banking and payment processing information and shadowbanning you if you do not pay $8 a month

all while they lay off the vast majority of their security staff…

this might not go well for people who choose to remain with the platform
