When they don’t self report the ones that are bad, they become bad.

How is that concept difficult for you?

Given your posts, I’m thinking you are a cop. This post certainly shows the absolute utter lack of imagination and empathy that cops have.

You should have become a fire fighter if you wanted people to admire your self sacrifice.

I’ve been held at gun point three times in my life.

Every time I was not doing anything illegal or even suspicious. I am white, not that that should make a difference, but we all know it does. EDIT: to be clear, I’m saying cops are racist, and unjustly target minorities.

Each of those three times the person holding the gun was a power tripping asshole cop.

I have been in several dangerous situations where a cop happened by, and just kept on going.

I already live in a world where the police will not be there for me when I need them, and they solely present a danger with no benefit.

You want to see people that are truly guided by a desire to help people? Go to a fire station or a hospital. Cops are not heroes, just assholes that want power over others.

The clients are a bit under developed by progressing quickly, and are all open source.

Gajim can, but you have to create it yourself.

Nah, xmpp is better.

I’m a sys admin/devops engineer, and yes, storage is far more expensive then people realize.

This is the very definition of enshittification.

EDIT: To those downvoting:

Do you actually know what the definition of enshittification is? Apparently not.

Enshittification (alternately, crapification and platform decay) is a pattern in which online products and services decline in quality. Initially, vendors create high-quality offerings to attract users, then they degrade those offerings to better serve business customers, and finally degrade their services to users and business customers to maximize profits for shareholders.

It doesn’t matter that the cost of storage is a real thing. They gave things of value away for free to grow their user base and to try and capture network effects. Now that they think they have that they are taking away ( or decreasing ) the free stuff of value they gave away.

The fact that storage has value is literally an important part of enshitification.

It wouldn’t be enshitification if they gave away free stuff that wasn’t valuable.

Because my country is directly enabling and, depending on the definition, participating in a genocide and there is no one I can vote for (who would likely win) who will do even the slightest thing to stop it.

It’s funny. I look at blocking as some king of moral judgment against the community, and so I don’t end up using it to shape my feed due to annoyance.

But, man, would I like to browse all without a million 196 posts.

Maybe it’s time I start.

None, anymore.

Eventually you end up with a resume/knowledge that sells itself.

I’m not talking about government jobs that require certain certs, though.

I’m very happy with posteo

They are not bound to lose.

That is a statement that is being pushed, along with the whole Biden “Over prepared” thing as a talking point to push why we have to stick with a dementia-addled genocidal asshole.

It’s simply not a true statement. You’re stating an opinion as fact, and it’s misleading as shit.

The second someone else gets picked is the second that they (Whoever they are) have name recognition and people will consider that person.

No, we’re not.

The convention hasn’t happened yet.

Finally, the logic is simple. Biden is a genocidal fascist. If you’re afraid that we will live in a fascist state if Trump is elected, then my answer is we already do.

If Trump is elected and goes full fascist, what do you plan on doing? Whatever it is, you should already be doing it.

Are we supposed to be so virtuous that we allow Republicans to kill all of us just so we die with the Palestinians that no matter who we elect will die!? It makes absolutely no sense.

Resisting fascism and genocide isn’t about virtue. It’s about survival. You’ve been conned into believing that if you just vote for the lesser genocidal fascist, then you or whatever oppressed group you identify with will be fine. You will not.

This well known poem

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

is about you.

Oh, you are right about that.

He can’t. His only power over SCOTUS is nominating Justices in the event of a vacancy.

This is wrong. He can pack the courts RIGHT NOW. The Democratic party still holds the Senate. There is no requirement for there to only be nine justices.

Edit: This does require the house changing the number of justices. So the above is incorrect.

Backing genocide isn’t better.

There is no harm-reduction past a certain point, there is just throwing vulnerable people under the bus to save yourself.

Convention hasn’t happened yet. It literally isn’t too late for that.

It’s amazing how many of those started with Lennart, too.
