The Quuuuuill

“all political violence is wrong”

detains community leaders in concentration camps

“we should talk things out in the marketplace of ideas”

censors all discussion of wealth redistribution, even the most tame acts like raising taxes on billionaires just a little bit

“violence has no place in our lives”

invades a nation in the global south under flimsy pretexts

as rampant as the corruption is going back throughout the country’s history, i’d argue it’s baked directly into the social fabric of the nation

GPU accelerated terminal emulators first came about in the mid aughts, though the modern ones that are good, the ones like gostty, really first showed up around 2015. the value for them is that rendering text can be a bottleneck in long-running operations on the terminal in a display environment (as opposed to a raw shell). i only know of one shell with ai features, warp, but i avoid proprietary tools that run system breaking actions so i can’t speak to how bullshit is

or… you could buy used or third party refurbished. there’s so much equipment out there for the having that’s totally usable for most people. which is consistent with what i said before. if you absolutely must buy new, yeah, make appraisal of the ethical contributions to the world of what’s available, but yeah. all these companies are evil so buying pre-owned equipment limits how much they can exploit us, which is why i said that before

buy used or third party refurbished. just because all the big tech companies are evil is no reason to excuse evil in small tech

framework, the hardware company, gave money to nazis who use open source to promote and normalize their divisive ideologies of hatred. of particular note they donated to the development of omarchy, a wildly unprofessional linux “distribution” put together by the fascist creator of ruby on rails

options:

• i just want my shit to work: mint
• i just don’t want to deal with all of windows’ nonsense changes: zorin
• i just want my shit to work and i have ideological problems with microsoft: linux mint debian edition
• i want an ideologically pure os (mostly): debian
• i want a truly ideologically pure os: pureos
• i just want my shit to work and i have an old-ish computer: mx linux
• i just want my shit to work and i have a considerably old computer: antix

depends on the part of the world

American navy during this era:

the key to victory is defining victory as any navy battle you sail away from. emphasize speed over all other attributes. if you engage in battle, it had better be a hit and run tactic

🤷 it’s kind of just a function of thah activity pub is loosy goosy about how and what to do with it. end of the day it’s the threadiverse that’s weird and we need to just kind of accept these lumps until lemmy/piefed/mbin devs and mastodon/misskey/whatever devs all get on an issue and decide how best to do this

they’re not on the threadiverse, they’re on mastodon where the threading works differently. their software is doing that automatically

hypertext transfer protocol and hypertext transfer protocol secure. it’s the basic network protocol of the modern internet. hypertext can be thought of as being html (hypertext markup language) though other hypertext specifications do exist. hypertext just means documents with links to other documents.

you know how when you copy a url (universal resource location) from your web browser it always has http or https at the start of it? that’s because your web browser is connecting to an external server somewhere via the hypertext transfer protocol.

cURL can connext to nearly any server via nearly any standard protocol. it’s commonly used for validating connection information and downloading files

right wingers like to make fun of trans people for their higher rate of suicide
