Relatedly, that internet-famous Nazi bar story:

I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, “no. get out.” And the dude next to me says, “hey i’m not doing anything, i’m a paying customer.” and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, “out. now.” and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, I noticed.

Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, “you didn’t see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them.”

And i was like, ohok and he continues. "you have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it’s always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don’t want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too. And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it’s too late because they’re entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.

And i was like, ‘oh damn.’ and he said “yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people.”

And then he went back to ignoring me. But I haven’t forgotten that at all.

JWZ: “I prefer to meet people where they are” says reasonable-sounding white dude holding court at a table in the back of a Nazi Bar.

It’s Bluesky. The Nazi Bar is Bluesky.

OTP is built in to many password management applications. I use pass and the pass-otp extension.

You can also use OATH Toolkit’s oathtool(1).

UBI on its own is a dead end under capitalism, because companies would raise the prices of good & services to absorb it, and real estate prices & rents would similarly go up to absorb it. And you know that other social safety nets would be dismantled, on the excuse that UBI serves as their replacement. Those social services would be privatized, making the situation worse.

They had spyware, anyway. We don’t know that it still works.

As of March 2023, Pegasus operators were able to remotely install the spyware on iOS versions through 16.0.3 using a zero-click exploit.

The current version of iOS is 18.1.0.

Yes? “Consciously” and “knowingly” would be synonyms in the context.

I think you’ve made your point more than enough times now. https://lemmy.world/search?creatorId=6173536&q=gamingonlinux

It’s not that, it’s that I’d like to know more about this battery technology.

🌳 Now don’t be hasty, Master Meriadoc. I would wait a bit and see how things play out. It could resolve itself in some workable-enough way, or some org may do a hard fork. We don’t really know what’s going to happen.

I wish this article weren’t so light on details.

There are a few China Bad Times stans who reliably downvote anything remotely positive about China.

Of course you can, but I don’t see how that’s relevant.

I’d never even heard of shader compilation. Apparently for the Steam Deck, Valve provides pre-compiled shaders for some games. What Is Shader Compilation and Why Does It Make PC Games Stutter?

Not you, the person I was replying to. Your English I couldn’t distinguish from a native speaker’s.

I can no longer sit back and allow Russian infiltration, Russian indoctrination, Russian subversion, and the international Russian conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

I might upvote this if only I could decipher it.

Knee-jerk jingoism, just how the security state likes it.

They’re just working class people trying to get by in a shitty bourgeois democracy, just like us. They have as much say in what the state does as we do, which is almost none.

That’s beside my point, but since you brought it up, the US is not the world’s largest economy, and China & Russia seem to be doing alright despite US sanctions, including technology sanctions. The US is no longer the indispensable nation; that ship sailed a while ago.

Could be. Maybe not a hard fork, if this slap fight can be contained in the driver space. I’d keep an eye on OpenHarmony and OpenKylin.
