No, it's their money, they may as well burn it. Why should we care, we didn't earn it and we have no right to it. It'd be different if we were talking about government funding. Companies and individuals can and should be able

I doubt that DHH somehow has an impact or even a say in that future fascist kleptocracy with some barely working linux distro, but if you really think that way and you think these actions do anything to damage it, you're incredibly wro

Not capitalist but corporatist, where the government directs companies and unions to achieve what the state considers the common goal. However I fail to see what this has to do with omarchy

Agree, but some people let their whole lives be controlled by whatever their political thinking is and attack whatever they see as different.

This just makes me want to support omarchy, not particularly because I like it or DHH, but because I hate bullies trying to make everyone do what they say.

There are shadow fleets of tankers trafficking oil across the world. Venezuelan oil is sanctioned as well as Iranian so no company without licenses and correct paperwork would touch it unless you move it enough to hide the origin. In the en

It wasn't apolitical, there were a lot of discussions about the nature and politics of OSS but it was never this radical. I remember a few fights in a few of my local LUG and communities that were very heated, but never death threats a

Always saw him as a commentator or blogger that wrote about Linux back in the day and not an actual developer, each have their place and OSS. There are plenty of more politically motivated people that have no contributions on anything, have

That's precisely the issue. There's a subset of the community that resorts to labeling anyone they deem guilty of wrongthink as a nazi or fascist and is the same crew that preach the "punch a nazi" line. If it was just a

Ridiculous. My bet is it won't go too far. They're already starting with the wrong incentive which is not to improve the thing but to spite someone.

Because people are idiots and assholes. There are a bunch of radicalized idiots in FLOSS that want to impose their world view on everyone else and then have the balls to call anyone who disagrees fascist, nazi, or whatever term they can co

They just want to silence dissent and keep the discussion running only in their echo chambers.

You can disagree with someone politically and still work with them. It happens all the time in the real world unless you're someone so mentally ill that you cannot fathom different ideas (like actual nazis did wink ). Calling anyone w

Easiest example is defending antifa as just "wrongheaded" for using violence and attempting to suppress free speech and not a hate group while easily listing any other organization that opposes their political views as hate groups

Would be nice to be able to review the actual lists that they used.

Looks to me that right from the start the study has a fatal flaw and it's clearly biased. Just looking at their channel selection is clear that they consider extremist only some forms extremism. Particularly those often considered as a

Younger kids could yield better results since they tend to take interest in adult stuff and will likely pay more attention than a teenager.

Main difference is that offering financing tools is not a crime, raping and murdering is. It's an apples to elephants comparison. They're not victims. They knew the risks and decided to venture.

From an article published last month seems that with or without Elon a lot of people were still getting fired. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/10/20/musk-tw... Twitter as a public company

Too many people to list. Although I'd say the tag kind of fits, but Bush is in another category. All the people I mentioned had in common the persecution, imprisonment and execution of their own people at a massive level and maintained

They were almost the same in their practices, just happened to have different political ideas and better propaganda.

True, but from experience with family and former friends it's a prevalent trend with radicals (left, right, religious). It's not something I'd look forward to. I guess it depends in exactly what they believe and how they thin

It was a comment on the irony of their profile pictures. It shouldn't be acceptable to glorify neither of: Hitler, Franco, Mussolini, Mao, Stalin, Fidel, Guevara, Hussein, Pinochet, Ceaucescu, Gaddafi, etc. My point is that authoritari

Not at all but is a very strong reason not to collaborate. Can't work with someone who is radicalized, they tend to take criticism as attacks and will attack back, sometimes preemptively if they get paranoid and start seeing ghosts. In

Not only one but two. The first dude has Che Guevara and the other one Fidel Castro. I bet they'd be all riled up if someone used Mussolini or Franco as their profile picture.

Isn't the idea of Lemmy to run your own instance that could be used to host communities that don't speak English? In their instances list they have servers that speak German, Spanish, Portuguese, Finnish, Euskera, French... Why wo
