🔊🔊🔊 Crash Bandicoot is uncircumcised.

where does this come from?

i’m surprised to learn that anyone was still using tape.

wikipedia is like google or facebook – we’re going to be stuck w it for a very long time

Have also ever noticed that they tend to get Real Mad when you ask them question because the conversation quickly switches to in group/out group dynamics and you just revealed that you’re not in whatever group they are? And they also probably have very specific definitions of words and phrases as part of their mental framework that you don’t know, so both sides completely misunderstand each other?

this hits the nail on the head – except where you say “mental framework.” for most of the global south and its periphery, that’s not a framework; it’s just reality.

the rest of the world gets a mix of western echo-chamber noise and raw government propaganda, which actually lets them build a more nuanced, tankie-adjacent understanding. western liberals – especially americans – don’t get that mix. they only get the echo chamber, with propaganda buried inside it like pills in a dog treat.

that’s why they get “Real Mad” – the smugness of that echo chamber provokes anyone who isn’t infected by it since there’s documented proof from sources as reputable as the u.s. government itself. but westerners dismiss it as tankie nonsense in the same way that maga dismisses evidence that contradicts their worldview.

jessie won’t be able to explain anything to you until you’ve done the work to purge those brainworms – and that means understanding how words like “authoritarian”, or “autocrat”, or “state-sponsored terrorism”, or even “tankie” are used to reinforce the echo chamber, not describe reality.

i used to be a liberal, so i know this won’t land right away. concrete advice: stop using echo-chamber outlets – wikipedia, fox, npr, cbc, abc, bbc, le monde, der spiegel. go to primary sources. read the epstein files. read foia releases. sit with the implications.

there’s a shortcut – listening to tankie influencers like madeline pendelton – but i also know you’ve been conditioned not to bother, but it’s here now if you should ever end up realizing how much control the epstein class has over your life and want to understand why.

and “kill-cycle” work in Israel

this is the first i’ve heard about this – can you share more about it pls?

i’m genuinely surprised this isn’t more downvoted given the nature of this community. lol

i’ve gone the other way – going from debian to red hat – so i don’t blame them. lol

i wish that show would come back so i could get some more shoreleave. lol

Considering how they’re now preventing cmxt from selling to the global north; it seems that the prices will fall fastest the further from the anglosphere you get

It’s funny to see all the unhinged reactions to AI. Lol

It’ll blow back on me because it’s literally me, my manager and a fresh grad new hire. Lol

And anything I could do would hurt the people we serve MUCH MORE than the people at the top of the organization.

Databrokers already have this information – they were able to track platner through his reddit comments.

And that local only file is just the start

Very surprising to hear and thanks for the info

I started doing the same thing but then Lemmy told me to give up on my dreams. Lol

baby steps

It’s also one step forward and two steps back sometimes like you’ve just discovered. Lol

But if you keep at it – like you are now --you’ll be sprinting wo realizing that you are and you’ll be confused as to why it’s hard for most people to understand how or why or even that it exists.

Everyone else already hit on the advice I came to write on your post so this was the only thing left I had to share. 😛

and don’t notice any difference.

The tldr of why Wayland was adopted in the first place and the next hotness will also be forced upon us as well. Lol

why do you think that distinction matters in this context?

i wonder how often the proprietary stuff is artificial given that examples like nvidia – their stuff is literally built and tested on linux, but they refuse to support it nonetheless.

It feels like there’s always another one each time I look into it 😉
