  • i find the No Kings protests offputting primarily for their rejection of "Do Not Split". people around me attend them and i'm glad to see those people engaging in things, but they go on to say things like "at one point a group of 4 people in black bloc (one with a "medic" patch) tried to join the march but we walled them off".

    previous large scale protests i've been a part of had a natural flow to them: signs and chanting during the day, then as people start to head home it gets rowdier & some time well after dark it turns physical; repeat the next day.

    i'm a daytime protestor. but i never felt like my protests were being "taken over", or that those different groups were fighting for something incompatible with my own aims. there was space enough for me to find a place i was comfortable, and likewise for anyone with different tactics. you can't have a "mass" movement without having space for all those different masses.

  • people who wear glasses with text written on the lens are on another level. like "there's this bit of text floating in the corner of my vision everywhere i go but it's fine"

  • but what do you do when you run into something?

  • just heads up if you're getting captchas on YT you'll probably start getting those on other Google services over time too.

    it snowballs like this: YouTube decides you're a bot => you use less YouTube => Google/Alphabet gets less information/fingerprints of you => Google Search decides you're a bot => you switch to a different search engine => Google Maps decides you're a robot ...

  • make this clear to ST and the legislature. make your vote for their next lightrail levy conditional on it being fareless.

  • I personally believe that the prospect of getting hassled and ticketed by fare enforcement staff is a legitimate reason we don’t see more people on the trains who are visibly suffering from addiction and homelessness.

    i also stopped riding once they ramped up the fare enforcement. i'm not homeless or addicted, i just don't enjoy confrontation and fare enforcement (regardless if you paid or not) is an extremely confrontational interaction.

  • how to piss off your garbage man:

    1. place garbage outside bins.
    2. obstruct all paths to the garbage bins.
    3. stack garbage so it's impossible to lift any bin without spilling its contents.

    you better be tipping him real good or he gonna leave you

  • bruh keep this twitter-style discourse over on twitter, or why are you even here.

  • if you're arguing that violence is a poor way by which to shape a society, preach that to the police. it's literally what they do for a living.

  • Jonathan Choe, the far-right broadcaster (“I’m going live for Newsmax and I have to deal with this shit too?” I heard him complain), posted a video of himself clubbing a protester who touched him. The protester was arrested; Choe was not.

    wish there was a video link for that. i found this, which i think is a dubbed version of what Erica's referencing.

  • they probably meant 512 Gb per IC, not per DIMM (which usually has 8-9 DRAM chips).

    you're right about that last part though.

  • i think "autistic" would be perfect, as there's a reasonable case that Frieren is neurodivergent (at least by human standards).

    anyway @jerkface@lemmy.ca, i will tag my posts more once Lemmy has better tagging. right now at the post-level it's just NSFW or not NSFW, and the sidebar's pretty clear IMO on where that line's to be drawn. at the comment level, there's only block-level spoilers, with no way to spoiler individual words. my honest advice if it bothers you is to get in contact with the devs and discuss better features around that. this isn't meant as a dismissal: the nice thing about stuff like Lemmy v.s. reddit is that you actually can speak with the devs just by searching the software on GitHub and then joining the chatroom(s) linked from the readme.

  • i keep my music organized on-disk so that each song is placed at <artist>/<album>/<track-number>-<title>.flac. then i just use any file browser (e.g. rofi, or portfolio) to navigate it, and when i select a song it opens in mpv. i installed the playlistmanager mpv script so that when i open any song, mpv queues everything else in that folder (so if i open track 01, the default behavior is gapless playback of the whole album). i also installed the uosc script, which provides a UI that's much friendlier than the default IMO.

    i find i prefer configuring just one media player and then using that for everything (music, audiobooks, videos, podcasts, etc). then for example when i decide i want to cast music to my TV, i only have to solve that once, and not separately for casting youtube, local videos, etc.

  • My head cannon

    intentional or not, the image fits 👍

  • if it read "what's the problem", i'd agree. otherwise, i'll toss it to whoever's well-versed in Chicago speech styles. perhaps the passive-aggressiveness of Seattle is coloring my view 🙃

  • half of the clergy said "what's your problem", which would usually mean "the answer to whatever you just asked is so obviously 'no' that you're a bad person just for asking it: what's your problem". i have to respect that some topics are simply off-limits for some people: if you're going to someone asking for advice about a moral quandary and their convictions are strong enough they don't wanna discuss the topic beyond "hell no", i don't fault them for that.

  • in my head, there's a direct causal chain:

    1. the court presents me with the accusation and the evidence.
    2. i declare if the evidence supports the accusation.
    3. the judge declares a punishment in response to that verdict.
    4. law enforcement delivers the punishment.

    if i believe (3) and (4) will function as stated, then it's equally accurate to say that in step 2 i am deciding whether or not to confiscate $250,000 from this mother and cancel her home internet connection.

    but a huge number of people i present this to refuse to admit that equivalence. there is some question about whether weakening the norm might cause more damage than mistreating the mother, but does that even weaken the point? the common answer from those who bring it up is "there's too much uncertainty to say": build a complex enough machine, and people are eager to deny the downstream effects of their actions.

    (you can overcome most of the degradation-of-norms issue by making this a secret hearing, and still a lot of people will hesitate to admit the equivalence between their verdict in step 2 and the effects of step 3/4)
