Honestly, this was a very cool experience. Being able to log in with a Lemmy account on the open Fediverse showed me a taste of what is possible. Now if we can figure out how to migrate accounts to different instances I’d honestly love that so much.

I saw something similar happen with Strange New World. The marketing was bad but turns out it may have actually been a Solarpunk type of film, which actually would have been interesting to see.

Wow, I just looked at this page, and it seems to be a pretty straightforward guide to how the Inuit language works! This was an interesting find to come across. Thanks for sharing this with us, and be sure to post more!

I barely even know about him in the first place lol

I hope this really hapoens. I’ve heard that video game development is a toxic jndustry to be in, from underpaid developers to strict dealines to meet. I really hope they will unionize!

“Girl, you are my Two’s Complement, you’re always my plus one on any occaision”

Cuz if you invert the bits of of a binary number and add one you get its negative number, so your girlfried is an equal part of you

For me, Blender was probably my very first introduction into FOSS. I was using it because it was free, but I also liked the concept behind having a useful software the people used everyday to make cool projects like movies and animated shows. I did a project on it in. What really got me down the rabbithole was Debian. I had come across it in computer class, and I really liked the interface. i did more research and came to love Debian for being a stable distro run by the community. From thereit’s history.

you’re probably right about that, i never thought of it that way!

There might be, but as a standard mp3 is by far the most cross compatible format on any device. Plus, if you feel like it later you can just create a program to convert all the mp3 files into other formats.

Debian for the win! Still kicking after 30 years!

Debian for the win, baby! It’s been standing for 30 years and still kicking! Back, Grim Distro Realer!

They’re really pulling an America, aren’t they?

Black Americans, Latinos, and rural whites, on the other hand, are more likely to live in “distressed” zip codes, places losing both jobs and people.

The place that less-educated white people occupy in the national fabric has changed as well. Once farmer-settlers, they have now been left behind by progress. As Isabel Wilkerson writes in her 2020 book Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents, the United States is best understood as a society with a modern caste system, a rigid racial hierarchy created before our country’s birth. While Blacks are at the bottom of the hierarchy, the least-educated whites are the lowest ranking among the dominant group. Even when people in this group knew they weren’t the best off, what kept them from feeling that they were at the very bottom was the color of their skin. 

I never though of it like that, but it makes sense. Oftentimes, rural areas, just like racial groups, are left behind as jobs move more towards cities and abroa. This results in an internal clash woth the race hierarchy and class hierarchy. Economically, they are poor, yet socially they should be rich because of their whiteness. Because of their perceived social capital they think all the benefits afforded fo them by their whitenes should translate over to material wealth, which in a lot of cases, it doesnt.

If we want to fix this issue, we have figure out a way to help rural areas have a beter quality if life, and not leave them behind because it is inconvenient for us.

In addition to the racism, I’m also seeing a worrying trend of “reality bending” (idk the specific term). I’ve heard about it before, and its basically trying to manifest your dreams through affirmations and wishing really hard. I this is especially worrying because it’s a sort of obsessive escapism, and very dangerous because it prevents you from engaging in reality for the hope that you will manifest into the “perfect” one. In this case, you basically sidestep the gruesome realities of racism and its effects through a vaporware, ephemeral, “poppy” aesthetic. Race becomes a sort of commodity, an aesthetic to be used and discarded once its done, and not a historical system of oppression to be dismantled. We need to be careful of those who commoditize oppresion…

Same here!

KILL IT

KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!

Shh, shh, let it happen, let it happen. Meanwhile, want some popcorn? I made like 3 tubs worth of it

“The people will not revolt. They will not look up from their screens.” – a stage play based on George Orwell’s 1984

Striking line–now we just have to figure out how to get people off their screens and onto streets.

Of course not, by the time they’re 3 they will be able to communicate in 10 programming languages
