Friendly reminder that Dell is a major ICE vendor.

Guess who was working for Border Patrol in 2014?

Yes, but that’s not relevant to the whole abiding by court rulings thing.

More specifically, he’s worried about looking bad if there are riots and looting. Because in 2020 after George Floyd’s murder, Walz caught a lot of flak about not responding quickly enough to the Minneapolis police station burning to the ground.

You’re conveniently glossing over the fact that kings don’t adhere to any court rulings.

You know what this is? You just want to feel justified in your nihilism. If he already has absolute control as a king, then nothing can be done and we all might as well give up, right?

Wrong. The regime hasn’t fully concentrated power, they aren’t invulnerable, and anyone who pretends otherwise is fucking complicit.

The U.S. Supreme Court somehow handed down a major ruling that stops him from deploying National Guard to American cities… and he’s abiding by it. Is that what a king would do?

You’re right that the current fascism is structural and supported by many actors, but revolting isn’t necessary to make the regime crumble. Instead, concerned citizens can work to weaken those pillars of fascist support until the regime can no longer operate.

Also, they directly fund fascists.

Can confirm on both counts.

Life pro tip: Use a block of alum… It’s competely unscented. Just gotta wet it a bit before use.

Ahh gotcha, makes sense.

Got it, thanks.

When you switched, did you lose all of your Gitea data? Or was that somehow importable?

Out of curiosity, how did you switch to Forgejo? I thought Gitea and Forgejo have diverged to the point where you can no longer just switch over without losing stuff.

Also! Try different types of lentils. Red/yellow lentils can get kind of paste-y unless dilluted into soup. But green lentils hold their shape and have a totally different mouthfeel.

I dunno. If I had made my livelihood working in someone else’s walled garden for years and years, and they unceremoniously kicked me out one day with zero warning, I might begin to question things a little bit??

It’s pretty clear he’ll go right back to Apple like a dog to vomit.

It makes a certain amount of sense. More deduplication means more CPU (and IO) spent on that work.

The only disadvantage I find is that there is no cross system deduplication.

You could achieve this by having all machines write to a single Borg repository, where everything would get deduplicated. But downsides include: 1. You lose everything if something goes wrong with that one repo, and 2. You’d have to schedule backups across all systems so as not to run at the same time, because the single repo can only have a single writer at once.

It was the worst twenty pages of masturbatory fanfiction I’ve ever read.
