Are you not worried that as an American, sharing your (fascinating thank you) advanced scientific knowledge in public will get you put on a list as a woke antifa agent, and eventually in a year or three sent to the camps with the other dangerous intellectuals?

If that happened in my country it would be huge news and all anyone in the country would talk about for weeks.

These are synth waves indeed, Daniel Jackson.

Bold of you to think I live in the USA. I’ll keep making Russian window jokes, but now I need a good USA one too, hmmm…

Can we live in precedented times please?

Oh, there’s precedent for everything that’s happening right now…

You’re just not going to like it.

I love how Americans need a literal road blocking bump to hit with their tyres to figure out when to stop (and yet because their cars are gigantic that’s overshooting anyway).

I remember being so confused by the weird concrete stumps for ages when I lived there at first. It’s just not a thing here…

So long as there’s an option to retain the normal experience, especially for those on older hardware that can’t run fancier stuff. Then it’s all good!

Okay, 34,000 people gathered together for their cause, and then what? What did they actually do?

Did they use the opportunity to communicate and organise themselves, set concrete goals and choose the leaders of their movement that could execute on these goals with their support? Did they all leave with an understanding of what their next actionable steps towards their goals would be?

I look at this a bit like a work meeting in a way, you’ve gathered people together but if all they’re accomplishing is hanging out patting each other on the back for agreeing with each other for a few hours then wrapping up, that’s a pointless meeting.

They need to have a command structure, an organised plan, and a goal with concrete next steps to try to work towards it.

34,000 people took time off work, away from their families, etc, to travel there for something they’re very passionate about, you’d think they’d use that time with their allies wisely and constructively, right?

Given that the media isn’t on their side, just showing up in large numbers to mill about for a bit isn’t going to make big waves, it’ll be quietly reported on and immediately forgotten by those not already a part of their cause. Protesting just isn’t going to cut it. Not until 34,000 becomes 3,400,000 anyway.

But it’s still a great opportunity to build your new movement. Imagine if all those people had gone home knowing who is in charge, what the chain of command is (it’s not like everyone can liaise with the movement’s leader directly all the time, you need a structure to your movement/organisation), and imagine if they had a concrete plan of actionable things they can do before the next meetup (which should have been set by those leading at lower parts of the organisation - don’t leave an important meeting without knowing when your next check-in will be).

Imagine what they could do if they really, actually organised for effective action, instead of just harmlessly protesting.

They have so much power, they’ve just never been taught how to wield it.

Alas my TV (LG WebOS 2) doesn’t have an application for Jellyfin, or I’d have switched years ago :-(

AI authors - not the human users - the AI themselves, Mister Anderson.

How are they allowed to give it the exact same name as an Intel CPU line?

I’ve got a Core 2 Duo around here somewhere…

I beg to differ mate, if I’m paying by providing you with my E-Mail address which you’re going to use for god only knows what. No thanks.

I was under the impression things like ReVanced were against the rules?

An actual fix wouldn’t be a suggestion to use an entirely different application or dodgy homebrew patch anyway, that’s just silly. That’s like saying “Your car is making a weird noise? Here, drive one of these other cars instead”.

It’s like those pretentious people who gleefully come out of the woodwork to comment “tehehe you should switch to Linux” whenever someone asks a question about a Windows issue. No help whatsoever, they’re just trolling because they feel superior and want others to know it.

Linux is a good OS, by the way. I use it, but I’m not a dick about it to others :P

The real question is why are you eating Soap

He’s one of those American politics blokes right? Someone into Trump and all them lot.

They’re waiting for you, @PlasticPope@lemm.ee

It’s about time! I’ve wanted to buy a European for years but never knew where to look

I mean well, and I want to have hope for the future, but I’m depressed and have untreated ADHD and a desperate need for therapy, and I do worry that I’m letting all that influence how I talk to strangers online.

I’m probably too harsh sometimes, or not harsh enough, or dumb, or stupid, etc, more often than I’d like.

So yeah, I generally regret or worry over everything I say to everyone at some point or another. I suck xD But I’m too lonely to switch off and not talk to anyone entirely, so here we are.

The fuck is going on with that bloke in the bottom

You were the chosen one! 😭
