I hear this one too and honestly, it does negatively effect them, they just don’t see it because it feels like it’s always been there. But give them ad-block for a week and then take it away…

“These are not said by the employees, because of the power dynamic where if they say anything I could and would get them fired out of pure pettyness, so they just silently hope I die in a car crash on the way home.”

Ftfy.

With all that said, until things change, for sake of the underpaid employees, please tip just know you don’t have too. If they treat you kindly and respectfully, tip, if not, smallest tip possible.

A’ight, that’s cool at least as long as you tip in the current system but push for change, no prob there. But make no mistake the only reason the employee doesn’t say anything is the power dynamic, they’re thinkin’ it!

He’s suggesting “fuck the worker, it isn’t my problem if they can’t pay rent, they should learn to code.” And somehow that will make the business owner pay them a fair wage and not replace them with a machine or a 16yo kid.

As long as you know your supposed “goal” of “helping” isn’t accomplished and that server now hates you, and the owner you’re opposing got his share and doesn’t even know you exist, do what you wish I suppose.

And that’ll only hurt the poor employee’s efforts to pay rent this month. The employer could care less, and sure you may make them mad enough that you’re the last straw and they quit, but I’d be hard pressed to think you’re magnanimous for it.

Thanks for the info!

It’s definitely still active, Praise “Bob”. Idk about the dependancies though.

Fedora for me, what I started on. Want to try Slackware though.

Haha only you can make that decision, it’s a 70’s porn parody of Flash Gordon, there is sex and nudity but it’s honestly pretty tame compared to today’s porn. It’s more silly than anything, silly with boobies.

Not streaming, torrented it. I think it’s on Soulseek but I can’t check rn.

This works 100%.

XMPP (with omemeo) is the classic (and also what FB messenger uses behind the scenes, without omemo), Matrix is the new kid on the block taking over. Both are decentralized sorta like the fediverse (but separate from said fediverse.)

Used to use Signal, but they’re removing SMS support so everyone might as well switch to matrix. Wickr was bought by amazon (and they say they won’t ruin it, riiiight), so that’s out. Idk enough about briar or session, and telegram isn’t as secure as people seem to think.

Flesh Gordon.

No that isn’t a typo.

Yes it is exactly what you think.

Yes it is hilariously bad.

Gold, house, stonks.

I have no dog in this fight at hand, however this quote got me to thinking:

What a joke. Democracy must feel so unfair, when you’re losing.

Yeah, you’re right. It highlights the fact that Democracy at the end of the day is just mob rule, where 51% of voters could (in theory) vote to kill, silence, or otherwise deprive the rights of the other 49%.

As for free speech issues, my thoughts are that driving them underground to fester and grow out of sight is good for “out of sight out of mind,” but in reality it strengthens their hold over their members through their own persecution complex and allows them a platform where their ideals go unchecked and unchallenged until it’s too late, they already believe it with conviction enough to spread it to other sites, which then they get “persecuted” for (in their eyes) and driven right back to the arms of the people who are manipulating them into these positions to begin with who say “see? We told you everyone was against us!”

Kinda like just letting mold grow in a drippy sink, you can wipe off the outside of the faucet and make it look pretty but the mold is still there in the pipes.

Pro-pineapple (but anti-hawaiian, should be pep, pine, jalaps) here: I’d try it, but only with chicken and Habeneros if I can, jalaps if they have no habs.

The best 3topping in existence, hands down.

My theory on why people don’t like pineapple on pizza is that most of them pair it with sweet ham, so they lose the full effect of the spicy/sweet/salty combo. Pineapple on pizza is amazing, hawaiian pizza is an abberant form that should be removed off menus everywhere and replaced with the true god-king: The PPJ.

But it creates negative user sentiment, which will make it easier to move people, or even make people just less excited to use the platform in the long term.

To add, it’s not nothing that lemmy and kbin have grown as much as they have. This has introduced many to the concept of the fediverse at all, or at least to those two names, and they’re more likely to switch after they’ve heard about it a couple times, or after it grows a bit more, or once reddit pisses them off even by just some toxic mod doing dumb shit and making them say “fuck this site, I’m going to that alternative I heard about.”

I guess what I’m getting at is this is effective marketing even if we don’t make the sale today. Like Hank during Grillstraveganza, you provide quality information and let the customer make up their own mind, and your sales will come in at the end of the month. We don’t need all those fancy Jo-Jack tricks to make an immediate sale, we can bide our time like Hank.
