How did you learn inkscape?

Apparently a judge in bumfuck, CA decided it’s not copyright infringement if they destroy the media they copied afterwards. Not kidding (except for the location).

I think it’s prettier but harder to glean information from.

I’m surprised your comment isn’t echoed further.

I didn’t see you making that point earlier. I disagree with it and I don’t think there’s anything left to gain from discussing this further.

You keep going back to an unexisting ideological divide. I’m a communist. Most of Lemmy everywhere is socialist. That was never the issue.

“Non communists are toxic too” is not a defense. It’s an admission. Of course you’ll find toxic examples in any sufficient large group of people. It’s when the group culture fosters that behavior (or at least fails to curb it) that it becomes a problem.

You’re fighting hard to deny this, but think earnestly about why so many staunchly left wingers couldn’t stand them anymore. It’s not because they want “from each according to their means, to each according to their needs”. The (stated) ideology is exactly the point of agreement.

Ideological differences don’t explain the brigading, dogpiling, constant trolling, bad faith arguments. There are only so many times an instance admin is willing to ban single users from a place until they get fed up with a culture of abuse and cut ties with the whole lot.

I’m sure they’re all patting each other’s backs there. But I’ve interacted with them elsewhere and when they are exposed to anything but straight tankie bootlicking they turn vicious. Not a single decent interaction, and I’ve had several.

Ha! Haha! Hahahahaha! Good one!

You’d be surprised. Especially on city utilities.

“How come there are individuals that think on their own? I thought everything in the world was a reflection of my own consciousness. I cannot fathom a world where people don’t share my thoughts and experiences.”

Indeed, very few people know journalism jargon, and authentication has vastly different meanings depending on the sphere of human knowledge one is inserted into.

Alternatively:

“Surely the rules don’t apply to me?”

In fact, they do.

A very mature response, thank you.

Rule 2.

So, if tomorrow bluesky vanished, my data would be safe on Eurosky, but no one could interact with it?

Considering O and 0 are both pronounced “oh” in common parlance… Yeah, that tracks.

Thank you for that.

Two states?

Which sounds great till you realize that what’s reasonably possible is a constantly lowering standard - what I mean is as tech gets better the standard is always stricter. Which sounds great, but in reality isn’t how we regulate (as far as I know) anything else - we set a safety level and politically revisit it as makes sense.

That’s exactly how we regulate process safety in OSHA PSM facilities. Which is basically all of heavy industry, chemical, even some food and pharma.

I’m not opposed to a science based, well defined criteria for nuclear safety. But we don’t need to throw ALARP out to have it. There are exposure limits for various chemicals that guide how high the exposures can be and still be considered ALARP. If we can get a scientific consensus for each kind of radiation exposure, the same can happen for nuclear. AFAIK, we don’t have said consensus.

“When the board shared that it found a substance in the city’s wastewater — not public drinking water — Fortis immediately stopped discharging industrial wastewater and began hauling it offsite,” a Meta spokesperson told Cowboy State.

Bob Collins - Australian Senator: Well the ship was towed outside the environment.

Interviewer: Into another environment…?

Bob Collins - Australian Senator: No, no it’s been towed beyond the environment, it’s not in the environment.

Interviewer: No but from one environment to another environment…?

Bob Collins - Australian Senator: No it’s been towed beyond the environment, it’s not in an environment.

Interviewer: Well what’s out there?

Bob Collins - Australian Senator: Nothings out there!

Interviewer: There must be something out there…?

Bob Collins - Australian Senator: There is nothing out there, all there is is sea, and birds, and fish.

Interviewer: And?

Bob Collins - Australian Senator: And 20,000 tons of crude oil. truckloads of deadly bacteria

Interviewer: And what else?

Bob Collins - Australian Senator: And a fire.

Interviewer: And anything else?

Bob Collins - Australian Senator: And the part of the ship that the front fell off. But theres nothing else out there. It’s just a complete void.

There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move, but I can’t hear what you’re saying
When I was a child, I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I’ve got that feeling once again
I can’t explain, you would not understand
This is not how I am
