Finally. There you are. I’ve faced so many left-wing schmucks, I was wondering where the right-wing ones had gone.

But you’re still a schmuck. Leftists don’t want children to grow up to be vile.

There really isn’t. There’s enough for everyone to have what they need, but that’s still a scarce good.

Yes it is. Is there enough food for everyone to have whatever they want? No. Then it’s a scarce good.

Yeah, it’s the ultimate midwit take. Smart enough to realise it’s an abstraction, not smart enough to realise that there’s a base reality (goods themselves being scarce) beneath it.

I don’t mean my bootloader though. The UEFI menu can’t be accessed using the standard method of pressing a key.

Fucking up my UEFI on my laptop, making it difficult to boot into Linux.

Undoing that.

Yes. That is political affiliation. You might not share it, but whether same-sex marriage should be legal is absolutely a political question, even if it is now outside the Overton window.

Personally, I’m not sure I support any form of state marriage, but if it exists, it should include same-sex marriage.

That’s definitely what it should mean. -oid means resembling or pertaining to, it’s not a diminutive.

It’s currently deemed a flawed democracy. That is, primarily democratic, but with some authoritarian or illiberal features.

Yeah, Lemmy doesn’t have everyone over from Reddit.

An extra complication necessary to make something work. It’s generally negative.

It’s because they grew up with it rather than actively learning it. UIs have started to hide the actual details, so the users don’t pick them up.

I’d like to be that variety of pirate, at least in the older style. Not so much a modern nautical pirate though.

Someone kept doing that to my subreddit, and did not get banned. I think he might still be at it, but I’m not sure.

1. I’m not American either.
2. The vast majority of countries in the world have copyright.

Now I’m not morally against piracy, pirate away. It’s just illegal.

It’s like people are forgetting that piracy is actually illegal.

I mean, you probably are, especially if it’s explicitly political. All I can recommend is CONSTANT VIGILANCE!

No, it really doesn’t. It’s a kludge to allow hostile humour against people you don’t like, while protecting those you do, all while claiming impartiality.

Given that the Lemmy boom is precisely because of Reddit, it won’t stop for a good while. Maybe some point next year.
