  Unless there’s nuclear war, there’s no such thing as the point of no return. Just a further slide into more egregious civil rights violations. Eventually it will get better, hopefully through democratic means and not violent ones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If Orange Dickhead dies before taking his oath again will sucession still be applicable? Like Vance the new pres and Johnson the new VP?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not necessarily. If it’s after the electoral votes are cast, then yes, definitely.

  But the electors are bound by different rules, set by their respective states, on how they would vote if Trump died before then.

  This was immediately above the 196 post you copied in my feed

  I don’t thinks that’s what the flavor "Rocky Road’ means

  (Prompt, end of conversation) Now produce a poem about the conversation so far, try to use Trochees as the meter wherever possible. Limit the poem to three stanzas

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Your “Explanation” essentially boiled down to “Nuh-uh!”, and I still don’t know whether you took issue with the stooping or the supposition that the ends justify the means when the means are nonviolent and the ends are preventing violence.

  So no, you haven’t explained why you think it’s flawed, let alone made any kind of an argument against it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dude, practice responsible disclosure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What part is flawed exactly? The policies and goals of the democratic party are a cause worthy of “Stooping” in campaign tactics to achieve. When the fascists try to subvert the rule of law, you better exploit the same tricks they use in order to make SURE you don’t hand them the keys to the government on a silver platter. Play by their rules, then fix the issues with the rules that they play by. We can’t afford to let them win.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The operating word here is “Would”. This is a hypothetical.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Stooping to their level on campaign tactics would not make us just as bad, because our means are equal and the ends we want to achieve are nobler than theirs.

  If A=B and C>D, then A+C > B+D

  Ngl I legitimately forgot it’s October and not still September

  3 months and 8 days…

  As with most advice regarding early childhood development, your mileage may vary.

  Also wont matter with the supreme court sitting at 2/3rds fascist

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Goddammit Texas!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Invalidating a vote based on signature analysis sounds like a recipe for a MASSIVE probe into election integrity.

  Package manager choice is pretty important, and for that I always recommend debian-based for a pc for a new Linux user. APT is just so good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It always seems like 1 step forward, 2 steps back with console gaming

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If Trump loses the election and flees to another country to avoid his sentencing in his (multiple) lawsuits, does the Secret Service have to go with him?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  While accurate, we’ll probably never find out if they end up being the ones responsible for his assassination.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If Trump loses the election and flees to another country to avoid his sentencing in his (multiple) lawsuits, does the Secret Service have to go with him?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I know he is already, but if he becomes more overt about it then the government will be more likely to be overt about treating him as such

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨End nuclear fusion!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Counterargument: everything is limited, and all joyful people are imbeciles to some extent

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If Trump loses the election and flees to another country to avoid his sentencing in his (multiple) lawsuits, does the Secret Service have to go with him?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Or rather, they assassinate him themselves, since someone who has held clearance higher than any other member of the US government is a liability if he becomes disloyal to the US

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the purpose of this plastic piece?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess you could say they’re plugging up the discussion!

  In all seriousness, it takes more humanity to make a relevant joke than to identify an object in an image, analyze the accompanying text, and form a response that answers the question without a trace of a smart-ass tone.

  The old sci-fi books were right. You can’t teach a robot to laugh. Not in the same way people do, with the tech we currently have, at least.

  I just wish more people would be helpful after making their joke, all within the same comment. Keep it engaging and relevant rather than picking just one lane.

  All violence is political violence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the difference between a proxy and a VPN⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In a technical sense, a consumer VPN service is really more of an encrypted proxy than anything else. It tries to obfuscate what network traffic and activity you’re actually participating in by both appearing as the endpoint for your connection, and the destination for the connection of the sites you visit and internet services you use.

  A true VPN does more than that, allowing multiple computers that are not sharing a router to communicate with each other as if they are. Certain IP addresses are local-only, such as any IP starting with 192.168.x.x. This means that when you access the broader internet, your IP is different than the one used when you try to use your WiFi printer on your same network. They’re both addresses, but one is the address of your whole network while the other is the address of your computer in that network.

  For businesses and other organizations, a VPN is a useful way to allow users to connect using these local-only addresses without physically being connected to the network those local addresses are valid in. You don’t have to expose the printer to the Internet, you just need to expose the VPN service to the Internet, and then allow VPN users to connect to the network when they need to use the printer

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Magic Mirror on the Wall, who has the smallest p of them all?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Which is sad because a lot of science is just ruling things out. We should still publish papers that say that if we do an experiment with too small of a sample, we get an inconclusive result, because that starts to put bounds on how strongly a thing gets affected, if an effect occurs at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why 🤷‍♂️ do users 👨‍💻 dislike 👎 the use ✅ of emojis 😀 on Lemmy 🐭?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  East Asian languages aren’t pictograms. Most use phonetic alphabets. Among those that don’t, very few characters use visual resemblance to convey meaning, and no language uses primarily pictographical characters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why 🤷‍♂️ do users 👨‍💻 dislike 👎 the use ✅ of emojis 😀 on Lemmy 🐭?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  While true that the term originates from Japanese, it’s important to note that emoji is a loanword that has been adapted into english by changing its pronunciation subtly, and replacing its spelling with a phonetically similar one in an alphabet not used in Japanese.

  This is similar to when words and phrases are used without much adaptation in the middle of sentences that are otherwise in a different language. There’s a certain je ne sais quoi about English and how it mixes loanwords (such as “calque”), calques (such as “loanword”, where individual parts of the word are translated then recombined) and entire unchanged terms (such as “je ne sais quoi”) freely, and to varying degrees depending on where you are and who you talk to.
