What an interesting hat.

I played Stardew Valley and suddenly had the overwhelming urge to kill local shopkeepers.

CoInCiDeNcE?!!?!!!??!(:'&((!:;((6_£";!(&6+:

In a perfect world where nobody doing the hiring was ever even a little subconsciously racist, that would be perfectly reasonable, yeah.

Though that said we end up with a lot of nuance in the real world. Let’s say there’s a traditionally marginalised, opposed racial group. Let’s say times have changed somewhat and people suddenly accept them.

Well, the generational and cultural weight is still going to have a lasting effect even if times have changed, and it may be more difficult for people from that group to afford a good education, good job, good home, etc.

The point being that even if we all stopped being racist today and hired purely based on how good an employee someone will be, we’re likely still unknowingly skewing our decisions based on past social racial issues.

I’m probably not putting it very well but hopefully you get the idea! It’s probably pretty common knowledge anyway I guess haha, seems pretty obvious to me and I don’t even think about this stuff much :-)

Anyway, point is, we do still need to work as a society on ensuring diversity and fairness even when we’re not racist at all - I think the saying might be “Equity over Equality”, or such?

Obviously the USA Government are fascists, so they’re more interested in wiping out groups they don’t like, but they’re just another in a long line of evil governments that will eventually fall, no point thinking too deeply about why they’re being evil. They’ll eventually die off as all fascist regimes do. Hopefully we won’t have to fight a World War against them this time.

How is it legal to basically say “We’ll give you some money if you promise to keep the blacks out of your organisation”

Sounds like something 9 year old me wouldn’t have watched!

Now if we’re talkin Star Trek on BBC2 at 6pm after school with my dindins, oh baby!

Why wouldn’t we capture him and milk him for his eternal energy forever? We will power grand Gigastructures that dwarf the very stars themselves fueled by his essence! WE WILL TOUCH GOD HIMSELF!

Fuck yeah, LLMs for the LLM god! All hail the hallowed datacenter! Sacrifice the DNS!

Oooohhh I was getting mixed up with the Johnny Cash track “I hear the train a comin”.

I don’t know what Frasier is though, we don’t have that here in the UK.

Now if you’ll excuse me I need to pull my Cash LPs out suddenly and do nothing for the next hour

Some sort of well organised community militia with the right to arm themselves, perhaps? Wait, that’s a great idea for addition to the Constitution, write that down!

Hah, your powers of deduction won’t work on me! For I am young, and not even from the same continent as the USA so Tang never existed here!

But I know the link between NASA and Tang because I’m a NERD! MUHAHAHAHA (It wasn’t ever actually Tang that flew but rather a NASA concoction, but boy is it good advertising!)

One particular astronaut was once caught on a hot mic complaining that he was extremely sick and tired of drinking the juice they provided and made them drink in significant quantities during the flight… I’ll leave you to go look the details of what he said and why they insisted they drink so much of it, because I want you to get sucked in to Apollo history too 😈

Aye, in terms of actual numbers there was a small hard right in Germany in the 1930s…

Sometimes you can seize power as a minority if you’re sneaky and underhanded enough, or if your opponent is complacent and weak.

People are easily fooled into acting against their own interests and helping their enemies defeat them (Brexit being an obvious recent example).

Yeah it’s tiring. It seems especially prevalent on Lemmy, way more than I’ve ever seen anywhere else for some reason.

Like, I use Linux for all sorts of things, it’s great, but there are plenty of situations I use other stuff in too. Open your mouth around these folks though and all they say is “hurrdur use Linux”.

Very helpful my guy, thanks xD

I reckon it’d be worth about £30, maybe £40 at most.

It’s capabilities are quite replicable in cheaper hardware and no secret, but having a well put together device made for you is worth a little extra for sure.

I’m the author of my video content, not YouTube.

I carefully produce and render it, carefully ensuring it meets the quality level I require, and then I upload it.

I assume YouTube will transcode it, sure, but I assume they have expert engineers who have tailored the transcoding system to maintain the highest possible video quality whilst hitting whatever their filesize goals are.

At no point should AI be applied to alter the content of my video in any way, especially without my consent. That’s ridiculous.

I want them big sacks of mo!

Boost all the way, baby!

It was my favourite Reddit client, and now it’s back as brilliant as ever for Lemmy too, no need to try to get used to a new app that does things weirdly or not how I like it ♥️

Fuckin Cylons, man.

Who are the GOP?

To be fair, this is 2025, there’s no trustworthy data about anything any more.

Hell, you might just be an AI. Or I might just be an AI. Or maybe there wasn’t even an outage. I didn’t notice any issues, so maybe AI hallucinated it, or it’s been made up as clickbait and been second-hand reported by thousands of news sites that don’t care about fact checking any more.

Not that there are facts any more, anyway.

Murderous fascists gonna murder fascistly.
