I'm currently a Python dev for a living, but I spend a portion of my personal time trying to get better at C/C++, and in my case, it's strictly about the potential for writing faster code. I'm interesting in getting into

I'd call 90% of the site currently black a pretty rough edge.

Has that happened, or is that just a scenario? Cause I'd be very interested to see if vegans actually can cut out meat from mainstream mastodon. I confess that I'm vegan-adjacent, I eat meat whenever it's put in front of me b

People keep talking about having the option to take your content and move as though freedom was a prison. Likewise, the fact that there is a community of instances that have made the choice to have a pleasant space, free of troll farms spew

Capitalism happens every time someone sits on their ass and collects dividends while other people work. Don't kid yourself.

Nah, and I'm no communist either. I'm the kind of wishy washy leftist that they hate. Authoritarianism does not know a political stripe. Before 1917, the government of Russia was a self-identified autocracy with a god-given right

Right? It's never been easier to spot, really.

I think any government that is bought and controlled by capital is a capitalist government, so in my opinion, you are either wrong or lying.

You're not wrong on any point of that, in the final analysis, BUT, I think it's worthwhile to compare tankies to the current set of kool-aid drinking Christian Republicans who are supporting the banning of books and other overtly

Marxism has to do with pointing out how capital operates on societies; there are no Marxist governments, though he did theorize that the world would eventually work its way to communism, in much the same way that we somehow worked ourselves

This is how it was on the 90s internet. Sites got hugged to death on the regular. It's how we ended up with the platforms, really, cause they had the capital to handle these surges without losing the company's house. Edit: and the

Tankie has less to do with any coherent ideology and more to do with just being on the side of whatever is not The USA. It does tend to be true that all 20th century Marxists were and remain tankies, I was raised by such and have family fri

It's definitely not the best climate, but I believe any competent grower with knowledge of the specific craft of growing for extraction could do it. I might know someone who might have once attempted to look into getting known-stoned

Sounds like a terrible place to centre your support system on.

And you figure the best way to ensure that is to bring a bunch of VC capital in eh?

I left facebook towards the end of 2016, for exactly the reason you might think. I used Twitter for a while before and after that as a kind of methadone, and even stipulating that I was not looking for connection to friends and family, the

I'm noticing an uptick in the number of people who are agreeing with the idea, in the abstract, though.

The Guardian has been tentatively placed in the "Tabloid" category. In the absence of UFO evidence emerging, there they shall stay.

Hey, thanks again for this tip - I found Finamp and while it doesn't hit every target, it is absolutely brilliant in terms of getting music onto my phone effortlessly and working without Internet. I'm that much closer to maaaaaayb

It is definitely just fine for the time being, my server is currently overloaded with tasks so it struggles a lot, and I'm gonna do something about that this week too. I have also been bouncing around the idea of just coding some sort

I really want those playlists though. I would like to have discovery of new music integrated into the interface. As much as I believe I will listen to Steely Dan for a significant portion of whatever week it is that I leave this world, I al

Cheers! I now remember seeing the name pass in front of my eyes but at the time I was kinda hoping that Volumio would just solve my problems, but I'm from Winnipeg and mostly Scottish, they have no chance of getting in my wallet lol.
