Reread my original comment (and all others that followed, if you want). I never, not once, stated that what they're doing is fine, nor did I claim we shouldn't fight back (in fact, I suggested we should fight back and implied we would be right to do so). But people like to see what they want, in order to find a conflict that wasn't there to begin with. I am fully aware of the two concepts you mentioned, though I have a hard time accepting the latter sometimes (but I don't disagree with it). To immediately jump to murder is not the right call (almost never is), but violence can be the right call (but not always).

Ignoring the next two statements, ignores the social contract.

  • Someone who is willing to immediately jump to murder, is as bad as the nazis we all hate. This someone is acting like the nazis.
  • On the flip side, someone who is unwilling to kill in defense of self or others after exhausting all reasonable avenues, is as bad as the nazis we all hate. This someone is enabling the nazis.

We like to call anyone who disagrees with our points of view, no matter how logical, as a nazi or other, more colorful insults, but never once do we stop to consider a path better than our own.

What this idiot is doing is not fine and must be stopped, but this comment chain calling a total stranger (who, by the way, agrees with your point of view on the original matter of this post) a nazi, is not the way we make a change. If you live in Florida, maybe find your way to your governor and rally in the streets. If you live in the USA, maybe you find your way to your state officials and demand the change. Maybe you can find your way to the site of this atrocious construction, and prevent further development on it or prevent it or ever being used or, I don't know, anything besides online-threatening the lives of people whom you've never met based on the shit they do... Stop bitching and do something about it.

For sure billionaires are ultra rich. What about someone with a 10 million? I would consider them rich, but they don't need an atomic clock to count their money. It sounds like I'm being pedantic, but I'm honestly trying to understand.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 58 minutes ago

Great argument. You totally convinced the world with your insult lol

How do you define 'rich', then? Not 'ultrarich', to which I'm thinking that phrase refers in today's world.

ProTip: 28 Days is not a shorthand for 28 Days Later lol

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 hours ago

I wasn't a fan of that one. It wasn't terrible, just not as creative and original as 28 Days Later. That said, yes, I would 100% watch it again lol

If you're good with murder, stop talking about it, then, and start acting. But keep in mind, there are worse fates than death.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

I have no clue how you went from "I believe murder is wrong" to "praise the nazis", but ok.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

Lol!! Yeah, I 100% would have forgotten in your stead

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago (4 children)

Fair point. Maybe that's the disconnect. To me, 'rich' covers a whole slew of people that aren't even close to billionaires. Someone who is living very comfortably and has, say, £200k in the bank, to me, would be considered rich.

No I understand the origins. But I also have witnessed it used on here as a call to arms. I'm not referring to the origins, with which I fully agree but, rather, to what it has become as of late; it's current colloquial use.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 23 hours ago (19 children)

Yes. But people are people. Just like not all us poors are innocent, not all them richs are evil. "eat the rich", for example, sets a presence of blanketed violence that we will never be able to escape. Preemptively killing someone because they might do evil isn't really any difference in end result to where we are now. The "undesirables", as they've been stated earlier, are not all innocent, and the USA government is kicking all of them out, because some of them might be evil (same as killing all the rich, because some of them are evil). I'm all for protecting the innocent, but the cost for doing so cannot be to kill other innocents. I don't have answers, only criticisms, which is one reason I never got into politics. And, in case it wasn't clear, these concentration camps they're proposing are abysmal, evil, and likely illegal (like that ever stopped them before).

 

Image finally uploaded. Sorry about that.

[Edit. Fixed the headline a bit, due to my poor phrasing]

 

I found my old iphone 3g, and want to use it as an mp3 player for my niece. However, I can't, for the life of me, remember the pin I set for the restrictions, and I can't reset it without that. Is there any way to reset it without that pin? I already got everything I wanted to keep off of it, so I'm fine if everything gets deleted. Like I said, I want to give it to be niece as an mp3 player, but want it reset first.

 

If I'm writing a paper or story or whatnot, I do not want to stop to update the app right now, and asking me every flippin time I go from the research sources to OnlyOffice only makes me want to pull all my support from your nagging shite software. 'Next Time' needs to wait until the next day, not for the next time the app comes to focus. Flippin wankers.

 

Someone posted a printable cutout of the Moomin House, so I resized it, and had a fun time putting it together.

I cut out the under-stairs door and placed the magic tophat in there.

If there are no objections, I can post the resized version here. Mods, just let me know if that's ok to do.

 

I'm looking to host a website for an organisation I run. I'm very familiar with WordPress and somewhat familiar with Drupal, but am highly technical and can learn other technologies. I do feel that a WordPress-type crm might be overkill, as I am not looking for user interaction on the site. I'm good with html, js, and css, so would not be opposed to a barebones provider.

Basically, who is everyone using, and what considerations went into that decision?

I have crossposted this question on .ml, as well, but can't properly link each on the other.

 

(Happy new years, mates!)

 

I vaguely remember this scene from my childhood, and can't remember anything else about it. Does anyone remember what episode this is?

If this is against the rules, please let me know (feel free to delete the post), so I know not to do it again, and accept my apology : /

 

Alternatively, Archive PH link.

Has NewPipe v0.27.0 stopped working for anyone else? It won't play anymore. It loads the video page and comments, but throws an error when attempting to play or download the video. I've submitted an error report, but was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.

Edit: thank you, everyone! I figured it was google being a giant turd again, but want sure, since it worked perfectly fine for me yesterday, and I didn't see anything pop up on Lemmy yet. I understand the logistical and costing nightmare of this, but we really need a FOSS decentralized video sharing platform to take hold and take off. Let google and other bigturdtech die where they made their beds.

Update: newpipe 0.27.1 was just released, which fixes this deliberately google-caused issue. As I understand, some other frontends implemented their own fixes, too. These teams are amazing!

 

Do InvisibleFence brand controller units work with non-InvisibleFence brand collars?

I have an InvisibleFence brand controller unit, and would like to get a collar for it. The InvisibleFence brand stuff requires their techs come out to your house and do whatever it is that they do (at a significantly higher cost). If the controller unit works (tested and verified), will other brand collars work with it?

Edit: Some of the other brands do work with the InvisibleFence brand underground system, as long as the collar is also designed for the same type of system (the collar should be called something like 'receiver collar'). The issue I'm running into, though, is that I don't like the shock collars, in general. While not as restrictive or cruel as an 8m tether, according to the vets I've spoken to, I still find it needlessly cruel. So, I'm working with the landlord to allow me to install an above ground fence with a dig protection system. It's going to be very expensive, but I'm hoping I can just increase the monthly payments some to make up for it. I've signed a long-term agreement anyway, so I'm here for a while.

 

Are there any automatic or semiautomatic tools that will rip a set of DVDs from a tv show, and label the resulting vids (like Show name - s##e## or similar)?

I want to digitize entire series (of DVDs I own) for an in-home streaming server, and it's super annoying to name each file individually.

 

Happy International Coffee Day, everyone!
