You must want something if you want to stop being unhappy. What would you change in your life if given the option?

Its been great, thanks for being willing to navigate all the federation drama and day to day admin work. Here’s to another year :)
What would an ai achieve? The only thing I can think of is a documentation summariser, but that can already be made with current applications independent of linux
Seems like it, I switched to my current instance explicitly to avoid dealing with this stuff
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HimToo_movement
#HimToo became connected with rape allegations … when a mother in the United States tweeted about her son with the #HimToo hashtag. She claimed that her son, Pieter Hanson, was afraid to go on dates because of false rape allegations. Hanson himself disavowed his mother’s tweet, saying that … he never has and never will support #HimToo.
For better or worse, past evidence suggests people can’t be heroized against there will until they are dead (as was the case for the anti-nillist philosopher Nietzsche)
Such a solution could actually work (the example of a Republican finding no controversial stuff in her school’s curriculum comes to mind), however the problem is it would require the person involved to disassociate with there (presumably anti-gay) friends and family and be accepted by her former “enemies”, which would be especially hard if they had a public facing role. They possibly may even have to reject a emotionally driven worldview/ideology they may have adopted, which is quite difficult.
Okay, please tell me do I convince an anti-intellectual logic that they refuse to use? I have tried to with no success.
I do not want my gay friends imprisoned for wanting to be happy, I do not want my trans friends lynched for being able to look at themselves in the mirror. How do you propose I convince those that do through logic alone, when these people are only willing to consider emotional/illogical arguments?
I don’t care about arguing, I care about solutions, what are your solutions to this discrimination we both hate?
The issue is not the appeal to hypocrisy, it is discriminating against the rights of others while giving yourself those same rights. For a party that runs on a illogical foundation, having your leaders be shown to be doing what they preach against is powerful enough for people to emotionally disconnect and actually think through the information they have been given. Yes an appeal to hypocracy is a fallacy, but “you can’t logically argue someone out of a position they didn’t logically obtain”, it is better to use a fallacy to force them to think logically, then use logic first and be ignored.
Thanks for being willing to take time out of your day to enlighten me
Yep, since I mostly pirate obscure games I don’t need to worry about the VPN. Lutris works great for fitgirl-repacks
If you want more of this kind of stuff, check out this video or an entire series about a world with this kind of thing
But it does matter. The US backs Isreals Genocide and is the one supporting there iron dome systems. Affecting public sentiment via protesting would make the US politicians less willing to send money to Isreal. That would influence the outcome.
Well, at least we all have some miniscule power to make it better I guess
Are you running a server which has a “community server” badge on it or using disboard?
Currently there doesn’t seem to be any mechanisms preventing me from spinning up an instance with 10k votes to downvote a post. The bots will come eventually
The goal of the private prisons is to get the individual to commit more crimes so they get paid more. This means they are being paid to encourage and change people to break the law, as opposed to teach them to be better
They seem to be talking about the budgeting app “Mint” as opposed to the Linux OS. Linux Mint isn’t going away any time soon.
