You’re aware that you’re claiming things and provide no sources or proof for them, right?

Maybe lets start with trying to do the basics in debating other people. If you make a statement that is not unilaterally understandable, you back it up.

That said, your ad hominem shows me you lack the personality to survive in a union. Going after fellow workers gets you kicked out in a heartbeat. We’re one class. Divided we fall, united we stand.

Now show respect and explain if you think I’m wrong or gtfo.

The reich is not germany. Germany after the third reich has also done unspeakable things. Currently, germany is assisting in genocide which hopefully will lead to german politicians being charged and sentenced for crimes against humanity.

My point was your argument is bogus and flying a flag does not mean aligning with every deed. It shows that you dont understand how public image works.

Painting an organization (or a person) as bad is very easy, same with painting them as good (whitewashing). Flying any flag means sparking discourse and in some cases it means reopening the public case to change the public image.

I wrote this to highlight how the term “terror*” is used to smear armed resistance.

Raising a flag in general does not mean you support any and all deeds an organization has done. Another undercomplex take.

For example germany, usa, etc have done unspeakable things, yet we can raise their flag. These double standards are insane. There is no group that - by this standard - would be worthy of flying their flag. Even in the lgbtq and neurodivergence movements there are people who are bad actors. Its is a complete L take.

I’m not saying hamas or whatever group is beyond criticism or even worth considering supporting but I’m saying a very small portion of people speaking about this cab write two paragraphs about these organizations, why and how they were formed and what things they did and what they should be criticized or ousted for.

I just want to learn it to know it

Acquiring a skill just to have it isnt how it works. Skills are perishable, meaning you will unlearn them just as easy. Of course much experience would take a long time but still.

I suggest imagining what you could do with programming. What little problems do you face that could be solved by programming?

You also dont need to write another operaring system or debug “a whole game”. If you decide you want to learn programming (because its fun or because you like to create and fix shit), you can make an app run on your computer or phone that didnt run before. I did exactly that and my programming skills are pretty small. You dont have to know all the algorithms or study it to do useful stuff with it.

I made a couple text based games, solved some advent of code riddles and so on. Its fun and it helps seeing the world as a canvas instead of a fixed structure that is applied to you.

I think there is an important lesson to be learned here. The countries we live in came to be through (sometimes armed and violent) protest. They dont change through disagreement but through long lasting and resilient protest.

Another important part: a lot of the people we know today as those who formed our human rights and countries, would ne branded terrorists today. The countries we live in use terror to overwhelm opposition but they call it legitimate. We have police in tanks using chemicals against protesters, killing some.

Its total bullshit and sign of undercomplex understanding of the world to blanket distegard groups because they form armed resistance against oppression. Armed resistance is also covered by international human rights, while the actions of the current aggressor are not.

I am not, which I realize is a huge privilege at this point in history. I’ve gone ahead and just searched workers union in atlanta (first city that came to mind) on duckduckgo and found this: https://ufcw1996.org/

You can also join the international version of the union which i am a member of. They’re more radical and demand system change and quite large, depending on the country: https://www.iwa-ait.org/

I realize that the us has been completely gutted in terms of unions. That does not excuse not trying to join one and it is exceedingly stupid to blame anyone but the powers that be for this.

Individualizing systemic oppression is one of the largest weapons against an organized population. Making you hate your neighbor, the local soup kitchen etc for some bogus reason is what isolates people an makes them easy to manipulate.

Keep that in mind if you get frustrated with democracy inducing organizations sometimes not being perfect. “Perfection” is another bogus idea of our sick system. “Works” is what we should strive for and noting more because that means more exploitation of life.

I wish you a good read and feel free to contact me if you need help.

Okay, I have to assume you dont actually know how unions work.

Unions arent employer specific. They can be industry specific but they dont have to be.

You just put your city or the industry you work into your favorite search engine and give the first 5 pages a cursory look. Whatever seems most interesting, you do a little research about. It the impression is net positive, you join them. Most unions also have some kind of solidarity thing where people who dont have a lot dont have to pay a lot.

In return, they help you with work problems, help you find new work in some cases and even strike with you.

Please join unions.

Whats wrong with joining a union? Some 50 yrs ago, over 80% of factory workers were unionized, today its more like 30% iirc. Its not because unions dont work, its because they do and companies spend copius anounts to get them discredited.

JOIN A UNION.

Just based on what you wrote and what I know of linux, I’d say knowledge of the filesystem, installation and troubleshooting process, gpu drivers and troubleshooting them, getting different setups, both hardware and software going and keeping them in good working condition in a workplace environment where long downtimes arent acceptable like they might be for a hobbyist.

Of course that will probably include good knowledge of the terminal and what it can do, basic bash skills. Maybe also knowledge in enterprise linux distros.

But then again, job ads are usually written by people who have the least professional skill in the posted job and often only view things from their perspective which means they might say proficient because you’re supposed to not be scared or a noob when using linux at work.

I have two separate nextcloud servers and pay around 14€ a month for the remote one. The home one costs me like 20€ a month just in electricity, not to mention the 500€ hdds and the administration time invested.

Going cheapo on cloud storage shows me that people dont care about the world they live in. Every cloud account thats below 5-10 €$ for like max 50 GBs is cheaper than it costs to run them. Its just a way for large companies to destroy small companies who could actually provide a decent service.

I mean, feel free to prove me wrong but please spare me the capital apologist stance.

Of course, just another backup location should not be that expensive but a nextcloud is something very different.

Nice try tech corporation. :D /jk

I cant count the devices i have. Around 5 phones with different operating systems, one linux. Around six laptops with mostly linux os, one windows i think but havent turned it on in 5 yrs. Many desktops i switched to linux. I mean to donate most of it to local folks soon. Oh and many microcontrollers. Multiple servers which run a variety of private and public services as well as business stuff.

It still is a thing, always will be. People are vastly differently skilled. The problem isnt that there are different abilities but that our centralized meat mill pushes them into categories. It doesnt make you better to have more skill in one area, it just means people should consider listening to you.

If you read again what I wrote instead of jumping to conclusions you would see that I am in contact with other instance admins. We talk about things like this. You’re not the expert here. This is not an issue in general. If there are communities where this is a problem, you can always switch or make a competing one that does not care about reports. The more important part is that reports dont have any automated impact on most lemmy instances, meaning that it doesnt mean shit if you get a 1000 reports per post, which still doesnt happen in general. Otherwise we would be getting informed about it.

Edit: i checked your post history. This absolutely fits with your question and your reaction to being told its not a problem in general. You are the problem. Aggressive, dismissive language that adds no value to the conversation whatsoever. Please do better or go back to whatever trollfactory you jumped out of. Good bye.

“Most other services don’t do this, and it results in ‘dogpiling’ reports.”

This is a fallacy. You’re assuming causality where there is none. Mass reporting of people happens in competitive - and more important - toxic spaces. Lemmy is a very varied - because decentralized - assortment of communities.

So before you ask “which places punish this?” You should ask, “is this a problem here?”

As an instance admin I can tell you, it is not. Neither I nor other instance admins I am in contact with are seeing this.

If you use plex and jellyfin anyway, i suggest checking raspberry pi and kodi (libre elec) as an alternative. The pi4 is fine for hd at least, some use it for 4k but i have no exp with that. It works well and helps you get off the apple ecosphere.

That game just wont die. I love it.

Its not schadenfreude. Everyone who voted trump has blood on their hands of the people who died and are going to, additionally to those suffering. These people dont just deserve to suffer, they deserve to pay for what they’ve done to others, most of them willingly, some out of naivety.

And they would be shipped to the konzentrationslager.

I think its great. Hopefully, they drown into chaos. Of course thats bullshit because i dont want those to suffer who didnt vote for the orange guy but everyone who did better eat their shit sandwich.

Isnt aosp literally android?
