Venia Silente

I mean, “compares as bad” is comparable, right? :p

Isn’t it dangerous now that PDFs can run javascript? (Who had that idiotic idea, anyway?)

Yet the mob not only punishes for the former, but does it so instance-wide, needlessly tarnishing the reputation of normal users of the instance while the admins moderated that problem on their own.

Punishing people by transitivity only gets communities so far.

So, the usual “on the Fediverse you shalln’t be anything less than immaculately perfect” crap?

Fair point, considering the ramifications on Zelensky’s counter-deal.

over Ukraine obstruction

so no word on Israel from Europe yet, huh?

Despite the failures (or needs-of-improvement) of the current federation model, it is absolutely safe against that. Federation is copies, not links.

That copypasta never gets old!

Oh no I multiclassed it alongside Politics and Literature, which taught me there’s this thing called Context. Which teaches a supposed stream service of a country that is requiring government ID to access media or even web services in general, from a country that historically spreads its legs for the US and does lots of colonialism otherwise, might not be the most palatable thing. Even more when the rest of the US is pointing out they’re gonna help fund VLC.

Hmmm but wait, Britain (or the UK) is not part of the EU.

Besides, they are as anti-privacy and anti-safety as the US, being their good bitch.

Well, that’s just about as good news as can be in the current tech climate, in particular considering programs like VLC and KeePass are getting this visibility.

Big words for nothing.

Like, what are they gonna do, arrest them? They’d be out in four hours and countersue for billions.

If you want a real solution, the French taught the One.

Host them in Canada or Mexico for extra kicks.

There is a non-zero chance that if you press it, you become smarter enough to realize you shouldn’t have pressed it…

Sorry you probably won’t get to see Trump tied up and crowd surfed into a van to never be seen again but this is the process.

Sure, whatever process that works works. My point is I’m not seeing a process - I’m no seeing progress. Just complaining, which is something the elites can already and have always burrowed their heads in the sand at.

Like it or not he still has a popular mandate and that needs to be destroyed first;

Okay, then how? Because from what I have seen pretty much every official in a position of civil service just resigns to let Trump do as he pleases, so there’s not much of a resistance. Who in civil service is supposed to unseat Trump? DOGE is certainly not gonna do it.

it’s everywhere

And they are doing what that is useful? The amount of people in any of these pictures could easily enter the White House and unseat Trump, yet here we they are, performativelizing.

Amerikkka!

I seem to remember the creator of Wolfenstein asking that question shortly before the release of one of their games, in the late 2000s I think. We should have seen the writing on the wall.

In other words, these veterans did what was asked of them.

They could just have not.
