Machindo,

I was really turned off by the aesthetic but the game is awesome and it’s grown on me.

Machindo,

Do you post any writing online? I’d like to hear more. Your quotes and analysis were pretty poetic.

Machindo,

One small blessing of them being so technically incompetent is that there is no DRM, so you can just use yt-dlp to download whatever show you want to keep. It’s just a small pain to do because you need to download your login cookie to pass to yt-dlp.

Machindo,

What a fascist troll. All that in response to me saying the DNC isn’t progressive enough. You’re actually unhinged dude. You don’t know the first thing about my politics. Calm the hell down.

Machindo,

But it isn’t and I must vote for them to prevent the US from becoming A Handmaid’s Tale. 😭

Machindo, (edited )

It gets thrown around a lot by people who don’t know the first thing about Marxism.

I’m a card carrying socialist so you think, with the communities I subscribe to, I would have seen some Tankies commenting, but I’ve yet to run across any Uygur genocide or Russian apologizing so far.

It really makes me mad when people accuse the maintainers of Lemmy of being Tankies when all I can find are very based essays they’ve written about socialist philosophy.

Edit: Just to be clear, I won’t tolerate any Russia/China apologism. My account being from Leemy.ml means I still see content from the people most likely to be Tankies. I’m always willing to admit I am wrong if someone makes a compelling argument. I’ve just been silent on this topic since people started complaining and this is my first real push back. I don’t want the Tankie slur applied to anyone who doesn’t deserve it.

The suffering is inherent, and intentional to RULE system (lemmy.tf)

The Democracy of the founding fathers was Greek Democracy, predicated upon a slave society, and restricted to only the elite. This is the society we live in today, even with our reforms towards direct representation. The system is inherently biased towards the election of elites and against the representation of the masses....

Machindo,

Thank you for saying this. ❤️

I do not understand people apologizing for capitalism ever.

Machindo,

At my current company all changes have to happen via GitHub PR and commit because we use GitOps (ex: ArgoCD with Kubernetes). Any changes you do manually are immediately overwritten when ArgoCD notices the config drift.

This makes development more annoying sometimes but I’m so damn glad when I can immediately look at GitHub for an audit trail and source of truth.

It wasn’t InfoSec in this case but I had an annoying tech lead that would merge to main without telling people, so anytime something broke I had his GitHub activity bookmarked and could rule that out first.

Machindo,

I thought that quote satire. Nope it’s real. JFC. 😩

Machindo,

My dad is a cabinetmaker. At 34 I can reflect on my life and I have never seen higher quality cabinets than his. Nothing comes close.

I remember he used to complain that people could get cabinets cheaper at Walmart so he lost more and more business.

I think with wage stagnation, people can’t afford custom cabinetry anymore. So it seems insane to us to spend that amount. But you can imagine that with the price of lumber and the cost of skilled labor that 7000$ comes quickly.

Machindo,

Obsidian is so so good.

I don’t even mind to pay for their sync service to support them. You can even encrypt your vault (notebook) with your own key.

EPA Approved a Fuel Ingredient Even Though It Could Cause Cancer in Virtually Every Person Exposed Over a Lifetime (www.propublica.org)

The Environmental Protection Agency approved a component of boat fuel made from discarded plastic that the agency’s own risk formula determined was so hazardous, everyone exposed to the substance continually over a lifetime would be expected to develop cancer. Current and former EPA scientists said that threat level is unheard...

Machindo,

Dude it is absolutely an EPA report, the chemicals are all named with their IDs, and ProPublica got experts in the field to corroborate the data.

What more do you want?

Machindo,

Something doesn’t seem right about that.

You’re supposed to work 40+ years to pay off a 20 year debt to society? That doesn’t seem fair.

Also you didn’t chose to be born, I don’t think you owe anyone anything for having to grow to reach an age where you have agency over yourself.

Machindo,

This answer is so perfect and so pragmatic.

It’s the thing I’d love to tell in the heat of the moment but always bungle the delivery.

I feel deeply the sentiment that I’ve been lucky but that’s all it’s been is luck. I don’t think I deserve what I have. No one should have to scrounge just to survive.

Thanks for this.

Machindo,

I feel like every one of these articles should come with a link to message your representatives. I’m sure most folks don’t have the energy to do so on their own. I’m imagining what it’ll take to do it myself and whether I’ll get around to it.
