Last Notes npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) How do you, parent with #ADHD, keep your attention to your kids games when they get very repetitive? #parenting npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) I am a Swedish speaker. The source is Flamman, a left-wing news site, which so far has been the only source to report it. npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) So if I give money to @npub1xh7…v9hj, part of it is actually going to support "forced repatriation"? What The Actual Fuck!? Turns out your founder is yet another egomaniac xenophobe with too much money? I'm done with you. https://www.flamman.se/techprofil-ger-miljoner-till-orebropartiet/ (in swedish) #mullvad #vpn #racism #sweden npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) And these is the same crowd that chimes about "facts don't care about your feelings". Because that's yet another way to assert their power over you. You are bound by rules, like decency, logic, consistency. They are not. npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) Ehm... That was an answer to @good_dog_rex, not to you, @npub1et6…e5sv ? npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) Again, you are talking like "communism", whatever you mean with that, is the only alternative to "capitalism", whatever you mean with that. It's not. Humans have used the most ridiculous varieties of economic and social system during their existence. And we can invent more. Like, we can innovate *everywhere*, but no, don't touch the only two possible systems of power? Really? It's a false dichotomy. You know what the genocidal sociopaths in power love? To hear people saying that There Is No Alternative. npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) "Stalin" is not the only alternative to capitalism. And allowing people to accumulate obscene amount of money does not keep you safe from genocidal sociopaths getting in power. npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) ^ This. They don't stop it because they are in the pockets of the same people. npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) Stalk-eyed flies extend their eye stalks by pushing air bubbles inside their heads during molt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ph_yMnYB3Co npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) Thanks! I'd add a reminder that European Citizen's Intiatives that hit threshold are actually bound to be discussed, they're not something that our rules can simply ignore. npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) Haha, ok I forgive you. <3 (My apologies, I'm being bitter and frustrated.) npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) PSA: Fascists don't give a shit about being logically consistent. They will say something in one breath and its opposite in the next. You will not "gotcha" them by pointing out their hypocrisy. **They care only about feeling powerful**, and you squirming about "morals" and "international law" makes them feel even more powerful. npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) That assumes they care about logic, consistency, law, morals or whatever. They care only about power, and laugh at your untermensche limits. You'll be screaming "you're hypocrites!!!" all the way to the concentration camp. npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) Non-bsky link https://neurosciencenews.com/alzheimers-reversed-neuropharmacology-30070/ npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) I need a recommendation for an entry-level 3d printer. - Open-source - Autolevelling - Mostly already assembled Small is fine, the cheaper the better. #3dprinting npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) We have been saying the same since Windows XP. Our standards have fallen significantly. npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) Badly #depressed . I've been dealing with this for 30 years now. About once every month or so, my mood goes down, and it lasts two-three weeks: I feel zero motivation, all my thoughts turn negative, nothing seems to be worth doing. I manage it decently, but it's crippling, I feel like I'm living only a fraction of my life. I tried the most disparate therapies, meds, life style changes... Very little changes. --> Is there anyone who might have experience with something similar? <-- Please boost for reach. Thanks. #depression #chronic #psychiatry npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) I'll just add this here: any discussion about "human nature" or whatever MUST deal with the fact that egalitarian societies, or societies where people live "as political equals" exist and have existed in the most disparate environments. https://gwern.net/doc/sociology/intrasexual-aggression/1993-boehm.pdf The assumption that humans are "pack animals" that need to form hierarchies and that human groups needs rulers is false because IT CONTRADICTS THE REAL WORLD. All that is needed is a culture that sees the accumulation of power as a potential threat. npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) Alternatively, for those who bring up the "human nature" argument: Anarchism is the belief that because people can be horrible, no one should be allowed to have power over others. =) npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) Hey @npub1fh7…ee83 ! I am getting a 500 when trying to access the Wiki of my project https://codeberg.org/Squarepants/compiler/wiki/Purity The weird thing is that if I clone the Wiki, I see a completely different list of files. =| What am I doing wrong? And sorry for asking here, but I couldn't find any better way. =( #codeberg npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) IIRC in *The Authoritarians* Altemeyer makes the point that what he defines as *right-wing authoritarians* are particularly invested in seeing themselves as "normal", as the majority. Which is why pointing out how fucking abnormal they are seems to be so effective. npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) They can GTFO. Most wealth is in assets that they can't easily move abroad. Win-win. npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) This kind of arguments are a lot of fun to make, because they highlight how disconnected from reality bigots are. But also, the arguments assume that bigots *care* about reality, that they think like you and me, and so they're just "stupid" or ignorant. This is dangerous, because it leads us to misunderstand the opponent. They don't care. They don't care about the arguments they make, they don't care that they're wrong, they don't care about finding out what the truth is. They care about their ego. They will happily hang on anything, no matter how flimsy, that allows them to feel better about themselves relative to someone they can "other". Doesn't matter how much their leaders lie to them, how much their lives are made miserable. As long as they are given a rationalization to feel superior in some way to someone else, to feel like they're not the bottom of the barrel, they will buy it. "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." -- President Lyndon B. Johnson Xenophobes are not stupid, they're not ignorant, they're *desperately insecure*. npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) Agreed. In anthropology it's called https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leveling_mechanism The only societies that ever remain egalitarian, have one or more such systems embedded in their culture. npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) This. Instead of recognizing those greedy for power as the threat they are, we worship them, believe their bullshit, and give them power. We need to change our culture. npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) The Israeli are discovering that you can't dehumanize Palestinians without also dehumanizing every other human. You can't hate only /part/ of humanity without that hatred seeping off towards the people around you. npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) My best friend is looking for work in Sweden (she's based in Göteborg) as a QA/Test (lead) and happy to work remote. Any lead or contact is greatly appreciated. Please boost. <3 #getfedihired #sweden #goteborg #qa npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) Elected officials are overwhelmingly richer than you are, they are not our peers. npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) I am a cynic only if you think that begging the powerful to pretty please listen to us is our sole option. The point I would like to make is that, instead of relying on the powerful, we should look at our peers, organize with them, and find our power in numbers. =) Local communities, mutual aid networks and especially worker unions. npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) In theory, yes. But that's only how it is sold to us. In practice, laws and rules apply only to the ruled, not to the rulers. Between media, propaganda, daily life struggle and the fundamental problem that most people view voting as the only lever they have against elected officials, keeping pressure is not as viable as it should be. npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) Genuine question: how does an entire nation, a whole culture, recover from this level of hatred? Nazi Germany lost a war, with all the humiliation that comes with it: the soul-searching was more or less imposed from the outside. This doesn't seem to be on the table for Israel. But in this case... What will happen? That level of hatred is poised to bleed inwards: you can't dehumanize a group of humans without accepting that humans can be dehumanized, you can't narrow your in-group without accepting that it can be narrowed further. This is fucking scary. npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) It's almost as all the laws have only so much weight as the powerful are willing to enforce... npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) I see a lot of Europeans pointing out about how bad the situation is in the US as if everything here in the EU is fine. IT IS NOT. We are enthusiastically moving in the very same direction, and if anything we should look at the US as a warning of what the situation could be here in five years or so. Europe, not unlike the US, is guilty of A LOT of violence abroad, even if we pretend that it isn't, that we're good and "civilized". More and more, that violence is turning inwards. We should be worried. npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) And yet, reading that book was the first time that I could imagine it. The first time I told myself "wait, this could actually work, this is POSSIBLE!" This was Le Guin's genius. npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) #amd support for #Linux sucks. #nvidia sucks in general. Which video card should my next #gaming computer have? npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) The assumption that cruelty always happens to *someone else* is one of the greatest delusions of "Western" society. The moment you allow a power-hungry asshole to do something horrible to anyone, you open the door for that something to be done to you. Which is why "no one is free until everyone is free". npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) Given that Zionists: - Are quoting Hitler https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-06-16/ty-article/former-israeli-mk-quotes-hitler-while-discussing-gaza-war/00000190-224f-d231-a1b2-e65f76fe0000 - Are talking about "Lenebnsraum" https://www.haaretz.com/2011-08-26/ty-article/lebensraum-as-a-justification-for-israeli-settlements/0000017f-e6ef-dea7-adff-f7ffc0bd0000 - Are saying "I felt like a Nazi" https://scheerpost.com/2025/01/18/i-felt-like-a-nazi-zionists-admit-genocide/ I think the comparison, **ACCORDING TO ISRAELI THEMSELVES**, is becoming legitimate. npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) But yes, Israeli will soon find out that when you open the door to cruelty and dehumanization towards a group, you open it for everyone, and eventually it will reach you and the people around you. To go through the genocide, Israeli have enthusiastically abandoned any pretense of morality. They will find out that a society with no interest in morals is not a good society to live in. They are giving up any social mechanism that could keep the powerful in check. npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) cool, but please don't drag anarchists in. Those people are "anarcho"-capitalists at best, ie feudalists, they have nothing to do with actual anarchism. npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) Does Indonesia have a particularly strong environmentalist culture? (I understand that Japan in particular has a terrible one, but would be happy to be proven wrong.) npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) https://stallman-report.org/ I knew about a few things, but I had no clue of the actual extent. Can we please stop worshiping anyone? #rms #stallman npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) Y'all sign this. If it reaches threshold, the EU parliament **MUST** discuss it. tax-the-rich.eu/ #billionaire #taxtherich npub1cjhhus8uytf457k8mz27zqjk3wxyzddjw49gzq3r9n7v0rgntygsqvgk7g Forse (he/him) Important info missing: "if it reaches the threshold, IT WILL ACTUALLY NEED TO BE PROPOSED IN THE EU PARLIAMENT". This is not a toothless petition like most.
