my favorite flavor of Dum-Dum

Secretly? I’m pretty outspoken about most things: DST, education, the environment

So in terms of things I rarely talk about, it’s friggen nuts that we all just accept that candies labelled ‘banana’, ‘raspberry’, ‘mint’, and so on taste so little like their real-life namesakes.

Because the FOSS projects give you everything up front whether or not you pay for it later.

I don’t know how normal it is, but you’re not alone. Parenthood was my primary inspiration. I have a job, I make decent money, I even like my job, but it’s just a job, and I have no plans to climb a ladder or seek promotion.

I’m a “if I set this down I’ll never see it again” person. A “start with the minimum I think I’ll use and get more as necessary or I’ll become an accidental hoarder” person.

My hyperlocal newspaper.

Call them a bigot and thumb your nose while walking away backwards. But don’t turn your back on them, they might be mad enough to jump you.

I think that, uh, there it is.

There are two kinds of trolls: Harassers and flamers. Harassers will pick an individual target and grief them until they stop reacting. They only defense is to stay off their radar. Flamers are drawn to a community they can divide, and the bigger the community, the easier it is to divide into warring factions. And that’s why bigger communities attract more trolls.

I chose it because I’m a conservationist myself and interested in topics like human-powered transit, homegrowing food crops, and fighting climate change. I personally think that environmental conservation and education are the two most important political issues, because those are the ones that will determine our future. Frustratingly, it’s been a rough couple decades policy-wise for both here in the US.

I have had some very interesting conversations and learned a lot about anarchism in my time here, I will say. And while I still think that anarchism as a political philosophy requires a certain amount of naïvety regarding human nature, there’s much about it to be admired as well, especially at a hyperlocal scale.

Facial recognition is also AI, though.

You mean besides Arch Linux?

I’d say “models” instead of “actors”, but yeah. In addition to a general desire to consume porn with models that look like my spouse and avoid models that look my my cousins, I also have a specific desire to consume pornography that’s ethically sourced, and vetting a model or production company takes time and effort.

I’m a conservative and lemmy is still more welcoming and civil than reddit ever was.

I find lemmy a lot more tolerant than most other social media, myself.
