The Summoning
  • It's a rule in English that "and I" is only used when it's the subject not the object of a sentence. (Subject is the thing doing the action, and the object is the thing being acted upon)

    The proper way to say this would be "she's coming over me and my girlfriend's movie night" because "she" is the subject in this sentence since she is the one "coming over".

    Hope that makes sense.

  • You heard #Adobe. Deep down you knew this was coming. Now all your art are belong to them. Time to move on to better things...
  • If you want open source adoption to continue to be low, please, keep making comments like this.

    If you want people to switch, the apps need to be appealing not a chore. And relearning a workflow you've fine tuned over decades is a serious chore and may even be detrimental to your job.

  • Proposals about developing a cross platform Bluetooth manager/daemon
  • While contributing is great, the BSDs are kinda dying and it's probably better to spend that effort elsewhere. Even TrueNAS is leaving the BSD space. The fact that most applications are shipping via docker/Flatpak/snap etc. and that BSD does not have a good solution for those does not bode well for BSD.

    There just really isn't that much development for BSD anymore. Everyone who wasn't on Linux is moving over to it.

  • What keeps capitalism together?
  • How does that work when all of the production happens in other countries now? Is there some scenario where we have a socialist white collar economy? All the rhetoric surrounding Communism fits a blue collar economy where production is still the key driver of the economy. Most "1st world" economies these days are service economies not production economies. Is there some literature on how Communism fits in with a service economy?

  • PayPal Is Planning an Ad Business Using Data on Its Millions of Shoppers
  • The issue is every competitor will use the same targeted ads. No advertiser who is not using targeted ads by utilizing tracking data will never be as competitive because their ads won't be as effective.

    Until we can kill these types of advertising by making laws against it or make tools that counteract them widespread enough that it makes the business unprofitable we will continue to have our data used against us.

  • Trump told donors he will crush pro-Palestinian protests, deport demonstrators - The Washington Post (Gifted article, no paywall)
  • These people care more about their "principles" and lack of fundamental understanding of the realities of a first past the post system, than the very real reality of people like us losing our rights.

    Everyone who thinks voting 3rd party or staying home is an option is rooted in privilege.

  • Trump told donors he will crush pro-Palestinian protests, deport demonstrators - The Washington Post (Gifted article, no paywall)
  • No, it's because people like you don't vote in primaries. I vote in every primary for better candidates meanwhile people like you scream how the candidates are awful while staying home during the primaries.

    The candidates won't get better until we grass roots organize and start actually making good candidates popular.

  • Trump told donors he will crush pro-Palestinian protests, deport demonstrators - The Washington Post (Gifted article, no paywall)
  • Also I guess losing the majority on SCOTUS and losing abortion rights was just a "hypothetical scenario" when people like you refused to vote for Hillary in 2016?

    When will you people learn that, yes, elections have consequences.

    Trying to pretend like they might not and Trump might somehow not be worse is being deliberately obtuse and sticking your head in the sand. Wake up and smell the reality.

    Please tell me about your hypothetical future where you don't vote for Biden. Please explain to me what your best case scenario and outcome look like in that situation? Please tell me, what are you working towards?

  • Trump told donors he will crush pro-Palestinian protests, deport demonstrators - The Washington Post (Gifted article, no paywall)
  • If you think you're going to change anything by not voting or voting third party then I have a bridge I'd love to sell you and decades of American history I'd like you to read.

    Please explain to me what action you're going to take and how that's going to lead to positive change?

  • Trump told donors he will crush pro-Palestinian protests, deport demonstrators - The Washington Post (Gifted article, no paywall)
  • Nope, they'd rather scream about "not voting for the lesser of two evils" full well knowing that if they don't that the likelihood of Trump becoming president and having MUCH worse policies for the Palestinians becomes much greater.

    But hey, why care about the realities of a situation when you can scream about principles or something?

  • Don't let your dreams be memes ✨️
  • After a certain height your weeds aren't providing any extra value to pollinators and are just inviting creatures that carry disease to hold up there. That's why the city insists on cutting them. Just keep your weeds to a reasonable height, it still helps the pollinators and keeps rats from breeding incessantly. Untended to yards are shown to increase rats in the area. You don't want the plague do you? Cuz that's how you get the plague. (The last two sentences are hyperbole obviously.)
