We’ve finally made it! People look at a picture of Lemmy thinking it’s a more popular platform.

They might have changed the OP to fix it in the past hour, but for me the “screenshot” is coming from the social image for the link on the post itself. Clicking through the link gets to the actual article.

You know, I was just thinking how stupid the name sounded until you pointed this out. I still think it’s stupid, but now it at least makes sense how we got here.

People absolutely think something about it when it happens, and hell sometimes the government even does something about it (as demonstrated in the article you linked). Just a whole lot of us would argue they don’t do enough about it.

Oh but didn’t you know that’s just a slippery slope argument and he’s really just a cool dude and who doesn’t encourage hate or violence? /s

A whole lotta people in this thread who don’t want to acknowledge that this dude is trash, no matter how good or bad their music is.

I made it pretty clear he’s a terrible person, just for many, many other reasons that are far easier to argue.

Defending a pedophile doesn’t make one a pedophile. That’s the stretch I’m arguing against.

I can’t believe I’m defending Stallman here. He’s got so many other reasons to be hated.

Richard Stallman is a bad person but I don’t think we need to make stuff up to prove that. He’s said he’s fine with child pornography (as long as it’s consensual) and might have favorable views on pedophilia (that may have since been backtracked) but that doesn’t make himself a pedophile.

Just a misunderstood crazy person.

Yes. It partially makes sense because you could screw the new congresspeople who aren’t corrupt with hidden income sources into not being able to afford their living situation, which could become a really bad point of leverage for awful people. I believe their staff goes without pay though.

I’ve got a mini and am looking into getting another mini or a full size. Caper sounds like a fantastic name considering how sneaky my current one is.

There’s nothing worse than SSHing into a remote machine, coding some stuff in vim and losing the SSH connection randomly. Especially when you’re working in a controlled remote environment instead of locally, screen is super useful to keep your place when you get back.

After we lost that one expensive spacecraft we’ve been moving towards metric more and more there as well.

Both? Both!

They’re starting to charge $0.30/packet in some areas of the US. Clearly this place is going downhill only because of that /s

Definitely a lot more out in the country than in the cities or even suburbs. 10% sounds about right.

I think it’s fair to say that our understanding of history, something which can change because it’s always in the context of the present, has changed.

“Living the dream” is also in the US but it’s usually more sarcastic like “Just another shitty day at this job, just living the dream!”

All of those are widespread in the northeast US if not across the entire US.

This is what gap insurance is for (well, one of the reasons) although I’m aware that lots of people don’t get it.

It’s wild when I was looking to do something similar and instead ended up buying a newish electric vehicle because it was about the same price as what I’d otherwise have gotten.
