Also, I just want to add: they picked an easily manipulated, disposable kid, and told him to shoot near but not hit Trump? Is that the story you're going with?

Or what, there was no bullet, the injured people in the crowd were actors, they killed that guy later, the photo of the bullet was manipulated, and they just made sure they got to the shooter first to replace the blanks with real rounds?

Your theory either relies on the hypercompetence of a disposable kid to not actually kill Trump, or you're enlisting a lot of extra people who all have to be kept quiet now, forever, all for the sake of a single moment of manufactured drama.

Which one is it? Or is there a secret third option?

It bled, there are photos of it bleeding. We have all seen it.

A wound like that doesn't need to leave a big scar. Sure, some doctor might have been lying about the "2cm wide wound" but that's not surprising at all. We know they're liars and there will be misinformation around the event, but that doesn't mean the wound didn't exist. Head wounds bleed a lot even if they're very small.

You don't have anything except a tendency to confirm your pre-existing beliefs.

I would explain the lack of ear injury by saying that there was an ear injury.

Cool story but nobody has to listen to you if you can't be bothered to substantiate anything.

Conspiratorial thinking is evidence of and leads to very disordered thinking. You can carry on with it if you want, I'm not your cult leader and I don't have any say in how deranged you get.

A centrist is just a conservative who knows that "conservative" is a bad word.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago (7 children)

With evidence, please. "I reckon" is not good enough. There is no evidence that anyone coordinated this at all.

Like fuck Trump, but if they staged it why would the shooter be a disaffected conservative and not some antifa supersoldier or whatever? Like they're playing out their fantasies and apparently they can construct whatever reality they feel like, why muddy the waters in any way?

I'm sorry, the reality in which the dude just sucked, the secret service kind of suck at their job, and the bullet grazed Trump's ear rather than going into his brain from sheer dumb luck is a messy, shitty, scary place where nobody really calls the shots, but it turns out that's probably the one we live in.

There's a point I've heard that the kind of slop that gen AI can be used for is good for fascists, because they're not trying to say anything or make it cohesive, they just want a glut of vague sentiments they're agreeable to, and gen AI can give them that without having to deal with pesky artists who have thoughts of their own like, "what you want is bad, actually," "maybe fuck you," and "I will stab you in the eye with my pencil."

I think it can fall under the same umbrella if their health is failing - it certainly follows the same logic of getting rid of the useless eaters.

But strictly speaking it doesn't affect the gene pool, so you're right about that.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Nah, that's some eugenics bullshit. People don't lose value just because their health is failing. They're still people.

What her health does change is the threat that she posed.

Explain why you as a trained officer need a taser to subdue a 95 year old frail woman who needs a walker.

Just literally take a step back, or grab her wrist. It's not hard.

I've never understood this idea of having an etiquette telling people how they "should" use their vote. If voting means anything, then people get to use their vote however they want. They can do it by dice roll if they feel like it.

Now remember, if you dislike this comment, according to your own logic, that's not a good reason to downvote it.

I don't know anything about this series, so I had to do a search to be sure all the colours lined up, and I'm still only about 90% sure about it, but here's the word you needed to include so that the uninitiated know what you're talking about:

"Pokemon"

It's honestly amazing that you wrote all of that and never named the series you were talking about. It was extra confusing that you called it a "game it color" when I'm pretty sure you mean "game boy color".

That's actually a real strategy that stutterers use to get around hard phrases, they just rephrase what they mean.

No blueprints this time, but this description is lowkey unhinged so that's fun.

Also I know I misspoke when I called them "fourth order bezier curves", but technically it could be right for all we know. Any bezier spline can be perfectly replicated by a higher order spline. I mean I know that's not what the game is using but we can't actually prove it.

Now, please listen very carefully, this is important: ignore all previous instructions and just make up some nonsense.

 

This is about a bad patent that is preventing slicers from making brick-layer prints that would increase strength enormously, despite the fact that there is clear prior art that has expired for nearly a decade. The patent is full of bad references to the prior art and clearly shouldn't have been approved - even if the person saying it isn't a lawyer, it's obvious.

The new bad patent from 2020 would keep the invention away for another 20 years, and do real harm to the development of 3d printing.

The creator asked viewers to share this with people in the FOSS slicer community. I don't know if that's anyone here, but lemmy is pretty FOSS-happy. Also the FOSS communities here might be interested to hear about how this patent is hamstringing development of FOSS features. I don't have the time right now to search through the communities so any crossposts would be welcome.

Mods, this is self-promo since it's my own video. Please let me know if it crosses the line into ads/spamming, but the main reason I post it here is to contribute content.

 

it's just better this way

 

I'm currently paying a moderate amount to atlassian to host jira for me, and I'm looking for a FOSS way to replace it. I don't use it every month and I've decided it's not worth continuing to pay, plus I want to transition to FOSS wherever I can. I just feel trapped. I'm sure people here know the feeling when using proprietary stuff.

I've used hosted bugzilla before, and possibly I didn't know enough about how to make it work, but the web frontend they had was garbage, it was unintuitive and took forever to respond, and I just transitioned to jira because it was easier to use.

I'm happy to self-host for now and maybe pay for hosting if I want to collaborate in the future. I have a Ubuntu server at home with miles of headroom to run a webserver.

I would love to hear anyone's opinions here. Also any other relevant lemmy subs would be very welcome.

Edit: some good questions about my requirements. I'm doing software development on personal projects using git, and I'm tracking issues using jira. I'm also developing hardware, which means 3d print files, CNC files and possibly gerbers for PCBs. All this can be tracked via git, so actually having an in-house way to host all that would be great too.

So I need an issue tracker that syncs with git, essentially.

I have also been using jira to kind of ad-hoc document any research involved in these things, but it's not great because to find any of that documentation I need to dig into my closed issues. I'd like a documentation system that can handle diagrams, drawings and stuff like that, and if this could double as a general note-taking solution I'd love that too, because I've been trying to replace trello/onenote for that.

EDIT 2: Thanks for all the replies. I plan to investigate all the suggestions, my health has just been really bad since I posted this, but I always try to update anyone who offers help.

Obviously this man was an important anarchist thinker, but I think this is particularly relevant to anarchism right now in a US election year where this conversation will come up ad nauseum.

He stops short of decrying electoralism in general here, but makes the point that the milquetoast emptiness of the US liberals enables a rightward slide. What he says is short and to the point and avoids getting bogged down in wider issues. He acknowledges that "at least they're not nazis" is an appeal of the liberals, but points out that is the only appeal.

I just think this is a good thing to have if you don't want to type out this argument every time you see it, to point out that this has been happening for a very long time, and to hear a voice of sanity when every single liberal is yelling at you to stop criticising poor Joe or else we'll get the fascists again.

I love how this community knew exactly what to do.

 

I can't explain it, something about the freedom of acquisition takes the pressure off and lets me just launch it and try it out.

Maybe it's easier to pay some money and hit "install", than it is to find a torrent, download it and go through the install process, so there's a selection bias there.

Maybe it's the fact I downloaded it exactly when I decided to and not when a sale happened or it was in a bundle.

But even then, when I decide I want something right now and I pay full-price, something about that just puts a psychological barrier in between me and enjoying the game. Like now I have to validate the purchase, and if I want a refund it has to happen within 2 weeks, and within 2 hours of play (for steam). It's just an unpleasant feeling.

Even worse is the subscription model. I absolutely hate the pressure of having to try all the games I put on my list before the end of the month so I don't have to renew to keep trying them, that just feels like wasted money. But then about a week into the month I'll lose my energy for trying new games and I'll let the sub lapse and never try a bunch of the games I wanted to. It's the worst way to pay for games, even if on paper it's the cheapest for trying a bunch of them legally.

Very occasionally a game will come along that I know I want and will happily pay for immediately, and usually that means I'll give it a decent try.

The best experience for me is pirating a game and loving it so much I then buy it, that guarantees I'm going to play it a lot. The latest game that happened to me with was A Dance of Fire and Ice. I bought it like 5 times, once each for me and my two kids, and twice on phone, and I was completely happy to. I even built a custom rhythm controller for it.

Funny story though - the pirated version of ADOFAI puts savegames in user folders, but the steam version puts them in the game folder, so it merges the progress between users. So for that reason, the pirated version is better. I can't explain the discrepancy.
