If local stores care so much about the community, they can offer us better prices than the chains.

Way to completely ignore the argument.

I think as time goes on, well find these problems can't be solved without guillotines.

We need to remove neo-liberals from the conversation.

[–] gradual 17 points 1 week ago

Almost.

Establishment democrats are still living great lives under trump. They're not enemies because trump doesn't fuck with their money, unlike Bernie.

It's the working class that has to suffer.

The problem is we don't want to solve these problems.

So they don't get solved.

Great satire.

You should write for the neo-liberal propaganda machine.

[–] gradual 5 points 1 week ago

Neo-liberals need to be pushed to the fringes of society.

Unfortunately, the only justice the Musk family will likely receive will be after his death when his offspring face guillotines.

“Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you!” a typically mild-mannered Bessent was heard shouting after Musk as they charged down the halls of the West Wing.

Video?

I think elon's responsiveness to criticism stems more from his autism than narcissism.

I don't think he has the mental faculties necessary to go against the influence of his peers. In many ways, he's doing exactly what people expect him to.

I think some of them are starting to wake up to the reality that their economic position will not improve under their god-emperor.

 

In Runescape, if you abuse the report function to try and punish a player that isn't breaking any rules, you're the one who's punished instead.

It's a great system that causes people to think before they hit report.

Most other services don't do this, and it results in 'dogpiling' reports. This means that people will report someone because they disagree or don't like them, and if enough people do that then the mods will ban that person "just because."

Are there any lemmy communities that try to combat this nonsense by penalizing those who abuse the report system?

I'd love to see the scumbags who try to use censorship to support their own agenda get a taste of their own medicine.

Using a program such as Hamachi, players are able to connect with each other in LAN games even if they're on different networks.

This works by making users who are on the same Hamachi network appear to be on the same LAN connection.

If you want to play a game online with your friends, check to see if it supports LAN.

This is where we fight back. This is for the resistance.

Tired of hype trains? Tired of everyone saying "just buy it bro"? This is the place for you.

We encourage any and all discussion of how to resist consumerism and alternatives to consumer products.

For example, instead of saying someone should pay $15/month for World of Warcraft, we will suggest they join a reputable community server for free.

Instead of recommending paid VPNs, we will recommend free ones such as: https://riseup.net/en/vpn

Piracy is vehemently supported. Any criticisms of it or defense of businesses will be banned. This is not the place for it; those people can go just about anywhere else to spew their drivel.

 

It's bad enough they make 'features' I don't want enabled by default, but it's even worse when the lazy/incompetent developers can't even give me the option to change it.

It feels like people don't try to figure out information others don't want them to know anymore.

Looking at world events and how much information is being censored from us, it's surprising how little effort is being put into identifying and documenting that censorship.

Even hearing about the 'Streisand Effect' seems like something the censors don't want to happen.

 

It works fine on X, but switching to Wayland grays out the option to select which window.
