I know a generally wonderful human being, taking care of his disabled parents, scraping by at a manufacturing job. He is hardcore against unions, says that he can negotiate for himself.
We’re fucked.

Have you not paid attention in the past 5 years? He doesn’t debate or answer anything directly, and he isn’t for democracy. But yeah, let’s hear what the literal Nazi sympathizer has to say.
We have yet to see a lawyer, judge, politician, or rational human being be able to successfully moderate Donald Trump, that’s what the other person is saying. He’s a toddler, he’s either babbling nonsense or he’s having a temper tantrum. There’s no point in a debate if the person you’re debating just wants to whine and lie.
But, I suppose if you want to watch 2 geriatrics losing touch with reality in different ways, at different stages, you could always volunteer at a nursing home.
Hi, newbie question. What is this download/share format called, and how do I access it?
Edit: I love all of you.
I’ll piggyback on this one. I’m personally more partial to Lenovo if money and lead time isn’t an issue, but Dell Latitude is the budget business brand. On site repair support is roughly the same, they contract 3rd parties in whatever area you are in to do onsite repair.
I can reliably get Latitude 5500 series laptops with i5, 16gb, 256gb, and fingerprint reader for less than $1000 shipped, and that includes a 5 year on-site accidental included warranty with keep your drive. You drove over your laptop? Ok, here’s a loaner, let me try to pull the storage, and try not to do it again.
If you’re American, your credit score affects a whole lot more than your creditworthiness. A bad, or even not as good score can affect your chances at getting a job, getting a place to live, and more commonly, how much you pay for car insurance.
We give a lot of shit to China over their social credit score, but we’ve had ours for years, we just pretend it’s only for creditworthiness. When your job does pre employment checks, they can also do a credit check. Many apartment complexes do the same. Hell, even utility companies can check your credit and decide you are a risk and ratchet up your deposit.
It’s not a guarantee that anyone does this, but it is a possibility. Be on your best behavior, citizen, the credit bureaus are watching.
Does Keiyoushi seems like the best extension repo alternative right now? They of course have the pre purge extensions, and some updates, but their rules about not discussing alternatives to them seems anti-community.
Does anyone know more of the players in this power vacuum?
I’m of the same opinion as you, though I hesitate to outright call it an echo chamber. Or at the very least, I doubt that’s their intention, even if it is the result.
I’m honestly rather surprised we haven’t seen more ideological pacts or groupings start to appear. Akin to having a group of folks that think similar enough that they choose to federate with each other rather than the fediverse as a whole. We have the “fedi pact”, which is generally more of a “fuck Facebook and it’s history of destruction and control” sentiment rather than ideological, but that’s the only clear organization that I have seen so far.
I would say it’s probably the philosophy of the fediverse that limits them. There is a spectrum of opinions on every subject, including strong opinions and dangerous ones, sometimes both at the same time.
Having a safe space requires either control or exclusivity in my opinion. The fediverse affords you little control of instances outside your own besides outright defederation and banning of external users. Though arguably that lack of external control is one of the benefits of the fediverse as well. However, if their goal is a safe place for those they feel are disenfranchised and marginalized, they might be right that this isn’t the tool for the job. Though, adopting a different platform or strategy might limit their reach. I think that is their dilemma.
Aside from beehaw… The lack of a central control structure within the fediverse is fascinating to me. It’s reminiscent of the old internet, where everything was ran as its own little web island, and yet it has many of the benefits of the mainstream “mass market” internet of today. Over time, it will be an interesting experiment to study and be a part of.
One more thing to check that caused clicking on my ender 3, the plastic retention arm the spring connects to had busted. I couldn’t even tell because it was underneath the silver roller.
They make a kit for $12 on Amazon that exchanges the plastic parts for aluminum parts because apparently this failure is almost guaranteed to happen eventually.

Yeah, short sightedness seems like the biggest defining factor of the anti union mindset.
