“Every other day besides election day”
Yet libs yell at anyone that dates to criticize or demand more action than just standing on roadsides on a single weekend every 8 months. It’s always “you can’t say that now!!! You’ll discourage people from supporting our party!!!” even when the next election is over a year away.
I don’t know what to tell you there. You’re saying that people who think we should change the system from within get mad when you try to change the system from outside of it?
It feels like you’re just describing being a leftist in a world of neo-fascists and neo-liberals.
I didn’t say voting wins the libs over… I said being a revolutionary leftist doesn’t free you from voting. If you want to improve material conditions you have to fight with every tool you have. Voting is quick and easy and improves material conditions for minorities Neo-fascists want to oppress.
Libs are not going to be on our side in this. They’re part of the oppressive system we want to dismantle. A part that’s just as hard to overcome as the fascists.
Besides, making progress on a revolutionary front also forces libs to make concessions which only improve the outcomes of voting.
Fuck fascists and fuck the libs. We don’t vote lib because they’re good, we do it because it’s an easy way to limit oppression against marginalised communities while we work on anticapitalist pursuits like community building, mutual aid, and other more assertive strategies as the opportunity arises.
We need to stand together
@fionafokus Lots of QLC NAND do need to re-write their contents back on after some time, but likely not that often. If you still long term metrics it would be interesting to see what the difference is between the kernel claimed writes and the drives counters.
I spent a load of time staring at this problem at a previous job found that fsync and small append-ish writes can amplify out massively due to internals on how the drive controllers are implemented. But also it sounds like you have a small-ish consumer drive, so maybe the rules are just very different on these units, My dad had a nasty case of this before: https://benjojo.co.uk/u/benjojo/h/m9kdQ15cfZPw23CcZN
@benjojo@benjojo.co.uk @fionafokus@mystical.garden I have sometimes seen some massive write amplification when the drive is "full". Is trim actually getting all the way to the disk? Disk encryption and some LVM type setups can eat it.

Heaven forbid your kids should be as informed about the world around them all possible before they have to go adult in it. Or are we just afraid conversation with them over this topic will wind up showing how irrational a position you hold, and how much of an insensitive monster you are?

Sorry mate but “sending to a nation comitting a genocide for use in an urban environment bombs so big and with so much collateral damage that your our own military refuse to use them because of that” is totally “being onboard with genocide” and “we’ll do everything in our power to help them”.
Even the fucking Brits who have been arresting their own people as “Terrorists” for demonstrating against that Genocide weren’t giving Israel the second largest conventional bombs in existence to drop in a very densely populated urban environment.
Unwavering unlimited support for Israel no matter what they do is the one policy that didn’t at all change when Trump replaced Biden.
Literally the subset of American top politicians who are against this shit are the Democrat Progessives (a small minority even inside their own party) and some of those still voted to send arms to Israel as long as it was claimed they were “for self-defense” so the jury is still out on those specifically.
Europe is very much politically divided on the question Israel and its Genocide, but not so America were the anti-Genocide politicias are a small enough group to be called a “fringe”.

That Palestine would be better with Kamala is pretty much the one thing you can’t claim since she promised to do the same as the previous Genocide-supporting US President who sent 2000lb bombs (know for their enormous collateral damage) to be dropped on an urban environment in Gaza.
There is a near infinite list of things Kamala would almost certainly be better at than Trump and you went and chose Supporting A Warmongering Supremacist Fascist Regime Abroad Killing Brown Kids which something that consistently has bipartisan support in the US to the point that the US Military itself often engages in a little (sometimes a lot) of brown-kid murdering abroad.
It’s like the entire boundary of the entire fucking field is the goal and you chose to try to score by burying the ball.

How is this not the standard view?

You aren’t convincing anyone who doesn’t want to vote with this drivel. I’ve already voted, some Republican, some Democrat, and some US workers party, which honestly is a better party than the Democrats.
We have a big boss battle coming up in our next D&D game. On the one hand, we've picked up so many new toys lately, I'm excited to get to use them. But on the other, our DM makes ruthless boss fights. I don't mind the challenge, what I do mind is it taking more than four hours.
The ship that's moving to attack us is made of ballistas. I'm not joking, Instead of deck railings, it's just one unbroken chain of ballistas around the entire perimeter of the upper decks.
We have three.

The purpose of a system is what it does. We are all trying to make someone else personally responsible for this mess instead of critiquing the systems that got us here. Meanwhile the leadership of the democratic party openly states they would rather loose to Republicans than have to negotiate with the DSA.

No.
In the USA, the wealthy do their best to make life hell for the poor, in order to keep others from affecting them. This includes preventing them from having food and healthcare, having their lives criminalized, being restricted from voting or kicked off the voter rolls or kept in prison.
And then the wealthy do their best to make the remaining people against the fascism attack the people the wealthy want to use as scapegoats.
Judging by your comment and others like them, they’re succeeding.
Felt a little fed up with Bluesky recently, and I've been reading @pluralistic 's excellent "Enshittification", so I thought I might as well show up here instead. I'll be posting (but mostly just replying) about computer science and cybersecurity (there's a reason I signed up on defcon.social innit), recent events (in my home country of Hungary or elsewhere), and the occasional astronomy or gaming post, or, god forbid, a meme.
Sorry, the app encountered an unexpected error
