    Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner says nobody ever told him the large SS-Totenkopf tattoo he's had on his chest for the last 18 years is a Nazi symbol

  • Okay, so having learned that, the laser treatment to remove it is probably in his calendar already, right? And he'll be able to show everyone that it's removed quite soon?

    Right?

    edit Right.

  • Most of this massive amount of "they" you're talking about it have a completely different view what is happening right now.

  • Also realistically nobody except centrists have any actual ideas on what to do about it. And even the centrists' main idea is mostly "be more centrist, assholes". Which totally would work, but is not very actionable for the problematic people.

  • They probably couldn't imagine such a thing to make it a sin. Evidence: because they totally would have.

  • Trump classifies “anti-capitalism” as a political pre-crime

    Jump

  • "support for the overthrow of the United States Government," is also one pre-crime per that report. That's reflection right there.

    So Marx and Trotsky seemed to be against individual murdering of factory owners et alia. Does that imply that they would've been against the atrocities of Communist states that were perpetrated in their name, or would that have been fine because it was done by the masses in some sense?

    Neither saw it happen in great numbers: Marx died before any of his ideas manifested properly, and Trotsky of course was murdered by Stalin in 1940. Holodomor and Soviet Union purges had happened already at that point, but perhaps Trotsky might've thought that those were just the evil of Stalin instead of being a more general mistake of his whole ideology. People tend to think that their political philosophy cannot do bad things.

  • Using rsync for backups, because it's not shiny and new

    Jump

  • It's not bad if you don't need historical backups. I kinda think I do, so I use https://github.com/rustic-rs/rustic becase rust

    Restic is probably a better choice if you're not a rust-freak like me.

  • After using GrapheneOS on a gigantic fucking Android pixel model, I think I'm gravitating back towards the third option and the iphone mini I haven't dared to sell yet. I think I'll just do the things that needs privacy on my computer in the future.

  • What is the current state of Matrix?

    Jump

  • Matrix seems to work well. I'm on a smallish non-profit server. I regard it as the premium open-source step forward from IRC.

    The worst problem is that there are really no channels that I care to follow.

  • How do you manipulate Bluesky?

    The same way you manipulate Twitter, by tweaking the algorithm.
