  • Honestly what are you talking about?

  • I dunno pretty sure they consume groceries

  • They won't have sharpened edges. There are too many events that don't allow sharps.

  • I am a historic reenactment nerd, and both the halberd and sword I ordered from two different smiths should be done this spring. FYI it takes a long time to get quality reproduction pieces made.

  • I don't know of any reason that the proportion of ESL writers would have started trending up in 2022.

  • You guys are only working on one project at a time?

  • Heat pumps are fine at cooling. At least as good as an AC. Call up an HVAC company with experience in heat pumps, and I'm sure they'll have several options that will work in your climate.

  • I don't see the interest in who voted what on my stuff, but it could be interesting to do some analysis of system-wide voting behaviors. The bigger Lemmy gets the more of a problem it's going to have with bots. People will need to create tools to identify these bots, and voting behavior seems like the primary data source.

  • Yeah leaked data stays leaked. You can often find out what was leaked tho.

  • I imagine this looks a lot like what people in the cyber security sector do after a breach. Audit all the code, scan all the servers, monitor everything for several months. It's a ton of work and very expensive, but there are people with lots of real-world experience unhacking systems.

  • I think the idea here is that, as Republicans have repeatedly demonstrated, the minority party can do a lot to simply break the government.

    If the Democrats had the intestinal fortitude to be real resistance against an authoritarian takeover, they could start filibustering everything, and using every procedural trick to delay or block every Republican action until some set of demands are met. Perhaps removing Musk from every government system, or reinstating all of the DoJ personnel who have been retaliated against.

    Here we see Democrats basically unanimously going along with the Republican agenda so that they can feel like "the adults in the room," rather than fighting for the life of our republic.

  • Do I read this correctly that the plan is to not set any demands until after 10 million people have signed strike cards? Why would someone sign on to a strike before the demands are even known?

  • This mirrors how I've been thinking about the broader world trends. The neo-liberal world order is dying. It has solved all the problems it has the capacity to solve, and the people have run out of patience with the problems it can't.

    The groups that have been best positioned to fill the gaps created by these retreating institutions are the ones that had always been excluded; nationalists, authoritarians, xenophobes of all kinds, et al. The left? They joined the neo-liberal coalition to try to change the system from the inside, or refused to participate and languished in obscurity.

    IMHO if we're going to avoid a century of oppression, the left needs to abandon the neo-liberal coalition, and get into the fight for what comes next. We're already two steps behind.

  • I think there's a place for both. So long as none of it becomes mandatory, and online communities can freely choose to offer anonymous or verified identities, it's an idea worth trying.

  • Resistance requires hope. I appreciate people being willing to imagine how things could get better from this point. If you aren't willing to allow yourself to even imagine victory, you've already lost.
