I'm now seeing all the articles I read posting that retraction. What wild times we live in.

I've always wanted to find sources of the monarchy calling American revolutionaries terrorists. Maybe that language wasn't prevalent then.

Came here to say basically this. Vyvanse destroys my apatite! Without it I'm a snack fiend. It's the only real "downside" and not an awful one at that.

I did learn the hard way that it does not mix with stuff like Dayquil. If you don't wait an hour between each you'll make yourself super sick and are 100% going to projectile vomit minutes after taking it.

v0.19 will have this feature natively and app developers can use the API endpoint to allow their users to block posts from whole instances from their feeds. It won't block comments however.

Did it take you a full week to think of that reply?

Katie Porter is progress. Not as progressive as we would want, but infinitely more progressive than a 100 year old corpse.

Here here! 🍻 We need more Stallmans in the world! My views on software, privacy, and so much more are informed greatly by his ideas and work. He's a legend.

Ok cool. That makes sense when it's explained. Not that different really.

For key authentication via ssh, is the best practice to generate a key for myself and then use that on all the servers or have one key for every server? What's the best practice for distributing / keeping track of that stuff?

Thanks again 😁

I think I've read they prefer Liberapay, but I'm not sure exactly.

Mr. Parenti, are you a Marxist?

Parenti: This is my answer. I would wear that label proudly if I knew that you understood what I meant by Marxist. And when someone says: 'You're a Marxist now aren't you?' and their only intention is to give a buzzword which says 'this guy drinks the blood of capitalist children' or something, then I'm going to say no, I'm not your label, I don't particularly want your label.

[...] Look, I wrote the book about the media. I don't know what Karl Marx has to say about 20th-century US media, I think he had very little to say because you know... he left early. But there's been a lot of creative thought and scholarship in Marxist literature and I feel that it's a scholasticist thing [to say]: 'Oh, you took your [Marxist] formula and applied it here....'

See, I don't see these things this way because I'm a Marxist. it's just the opposite. I started seeing these things and I started realizing that there was an analysis that had explanatory power for that. It gets very frustrating you know. For years I'd knock myself out trying to make an analysis, I'd come to the conclusion and I'd say: 'Hey you know, the police are not neutral, they're on the side of property and power.' Then someone would say to me: 'That's Marxism, you know, you're sounding like a Marxist.'

That's Marxism... oh. Then I'd say: 'Wealth is largely unaccountable in many of the things it does in our democracy, I don't understand, that isn't what I learned ... ' / 'Oh that's a Marxist point of view, Marx said that you know.' and it would go on, one thing after another and I said:

'Boy, this Karl Marx was really something, you know, every time I put two and two together and come up with an analysis they give him the credit for it.'

Yeah, I hear you, defending America isn't high on my list either.

Email has been around for what, 50 years? I guess that makes me a brand new concept too.

Home Owners Authority, CW was a TV channel.

It's not going to be a centralized platform though...

"If you want to get a photo from the press just gesture wildly" he has some great quips. Very funny guy when he wants to be. Love his lectures.

Most anti-communism has no basis in reality and often are myths perpetuated by state agencies. All Anti-Capitalist sentiment is rooted in the material realities of our world and life. To deny socialist historical reality is to deny your own history, and ultimately is an admission of your disingenuous support of the truth.

Historical Materialism is truth seeking in practice. It requires you to have a fact based, objective view of our past and present.

Also I don't know why I would whine, because I'm not using lemmy.ml. That instance can have whatever rules they want. I wouldn't block or defederate from them because of it either. But if you are not interested in seeking the truth and objectively observing reality, then I guess you can insolate yourself from it and keep your echos.

Do you mean the rule about not being Sinophobic? Is that really a hard rule for you to follow? I like to look at objective reality instead of just barking the same nonsensical shibboleths when the topic of China arises.

Ah yes, because they are all very different and diverse and definitely don't kowtow to the same political group. A wolf in a different hat is still a wolf.

That's how parliament works in the UK. Bunch of dictators over there in the Queen's England.
