I don't even trust non-unlockable bootloaders. There's so much planned obsolescence everywhere

You're not going to have anything to hang it with in CECOT

there's a difference between using irc for livetime troubleshooting and not having a forum at all and directing everyone to your livechat discord. i'm sure some sicko out there has run an OSS project on only IRC, but their project likely got no traction because a history of problemsolving posts is important in open source. generally speaking, you need:

  • a wiki
  • a static indexable searchable forum
  • a live chat place for real time communication for novel problems

too many projects these days only have that last one in the form of discord

so a lot of our advertising and mechanisms for crowd control come directly from studying nazi propaganda. subliminal seduction, disorienting layouts, insane beurocracy (i suck at spelling and autocorrect isn't helping). i really mean it when i say they use nazi techniques to get us to buy soup. specifically campbell's. and to give us the illusion of choice, there's also progresso.

but the keys to nazi control were:

  • placing seductive images alongside a viewpoint they wanted to hold (think the pepsi commercials where it's just an attractive woman walking up to a vending machine, buying a pepsi, and then drinking it)
  • disorientation keeping the populace from ever knowing what was going on (think rearranging supermarkets)
  • state sanctioned violence (think everything american police have ever been)

and with this regime, those disciplinary actions will be promotions

that trajectory leads to Antix to give you full control over every decision and then from there to debian or devuan because all that decision making is exhausting, can't the machine just work and only update when there's security patches?

there's something beautiful that every individual has their own image for what Baberaham Lincoln looks like. like you read that, and it evokes for you in your head your very own Baberaham Lincoln

 

I just want to have a discussion about this. All of the remakes and reboots hollywood has done throughout its history have always been a way of just making money by putting all the money on "sure" bets, things that producers already know people like because they were successful before, but there's something exceptionally soulless about the Disney reboots.

There seems to be no true desire to introduce a new generation to stories they weren't familiar with, but instead a desire to just rewrite disneys entire catalog to be presented in a new aesthetic. It's a homogenization of film to a single set of techniques and looks. Capitalism is directly strangling creativity and it's being successful enough that it's seemingly never going to stop. I mean. They're rebooting movies that aren't even 20 years old yet at this point. There are people in college seeing promos for reboots of movies their parents took them to as kids.

It's creating this environment where we're all stuck in this moment that already passed. The media we consume now was written in response to events that happened already, have passed us by, and can no longer be addressed. Any attempts to make new media that meet our current moment are stifled by studios who just... Don't care.

 

Well y'all finally went and did it. You got me to comment in your community, so now I gotta post something before I leave. I hope you're happy. I mean honestly. Is this what you wanted? Do you like this? Do you like my shitty shit post?

Don't ever let it be said I don't follow the rules

 

Posting from my alt account because file uploads seem to still not be working on beehaw

For the screen readers: This is a very small preying mantis that was on my door this morning. It is about the length of my first finger's first bone (the finger tip).

 

Lionir elected to prevent any potential data leaks by shutting down Beehaw until the issues lemmy.world and lemmy.blahaj.zone are identified and resolved

 

Not much to add. Saw it in another technology forum and thought it also belonged here for the solarpunks
