Ask Lemmygrad@lemmygrad.ml•Isn't Israel doomed to be a cursed state?
10·5 days agoThe Nazis did lose their colonies, and now play along with the rest of the Germans pretending to be victims. They really got off easy.

6·5 days agoCareful what you genocide for, because you’ll never be over it.
Ironically, in the Torah the Hebrews start their origin story by pretending to have genocided the Canaanites, but that was just them… The folks who wrote that story truly set themselves up for the ultimate payoff.

Ask Lemmygrad@lemmygrad.ml•Isn't Israel doomed to be a cursed state?
8·5 days agoThey can’t get rid of it, it’s more of a thought on how it invariably haunts them ad eternum even when the genocide is over. This can never truly be worth it.

6·5 days agoI was asking for the average settler. Not that I expect them to care or have morals or anything, still it looks like that getting what they want is a hell of a poisoned prize.
On mobile they did a really good job with this version, lots of very useful new options. Still haven’t gotten around to trying it on a computer.

Ask Lemmygrad@lemmygrad.ml•what do you think about assisted suicide for mental illness?
13·14 days agoYes in theory, euthanasia should be a thing. The problem is that we live under capitalism, and therefore this will always be abused to kill the poor. It already happened in a few countries that allowed it, I believe Canada is one of them.
The problem is that we think or these options in an ideal world/in isolation but our world is soo far from that… that for this to be debated seriously we have soo much work ahead of us, before we are even close to the state where something like this should remotely be allowed.
I recently switched to Proton, mostly to get out of Gmail and Hotmail.
I did this firstly to get out of the yankee services, not because I trust Proton: their claims of private mail are mostly bullshit, and they do clearly behave like a CIA honeypot, so I don’t trust them (as I didn’t trust the other two), so I use the free account (also there are increasingly fewer and fewer free options nowadays) just to get emails that I’m more than okay being known, or where my domain emails don’t work.
Everything else goes to an assortment of addresses on my webstorage with my domain, running on a national server outside of all the cursed 9/14/etc eyes. Even still I expect them to be fully visible under a court order. But I get no one actively profiting off their info, and get no spam there. So I’m very happy with the change.

World News@lemmygrad.ml•One in five Brits 'would never' apply for financial aid due to stigma
3·17 days agoSelf reported, sure. But I find that when necessity arrives, and there’s no other way people do apply to it. I’ve been there myself.

Technology@lemmygrad.ml•The Quiet Renovation at Bitwarden — Changing Principles
1·17 days agoThis! Or one of the forks. You shouldn’t trust your passwords to anything not stored locally on your hard drives anyway. It’s asking for trouble, I see this as a blessing in disguise.

Ask Lemmygrad@lemmygrad.ml•Aren't Connections/Networking the death of the Invisible Hand?
3·19 days agoIt’s not humane, but then ironically they insist on forcing fake relationships onto the worker: “we’re a family™️”, great/informal work environment your manager pretending to be your buddy, forced corporate dinners, and so on.
Hell, I should know, me not aligning with their nepotistic cult-like (and I’m not exaggerating here) culture was a major contribution for me losing my last job.

Ask Lemmygrad@lemmygrad.ml•Aren't Connections/Networking the death of the Invisible Hand?
2·19 days agoNow this is an unexpected take, and granted you might be right, but I always understood the prisioner’s dilema as a restricted view of relations between individuals at very similar status, or in this case of the same class in similar circumstances.
I did see an old Richard Dawkins documentary’s about this many years ago, before we became a massive prick, and it did inform my view of this particular thought experiment. But I always took the tit-for-tat response to it, as an indicator of reasonable response to people on the level with you. Obviously, your manager/boss/etc will rarely give you a favourable answer, to begin with, or when it does it’s with the prospect of getting something extra out of you, it’s more of a prisioner-warden relationship.

Ask Lemmygrad@lemmygrad.ml•Aren't Connections/Networking the death of the Invisible Hand?
6·20 days agoYou’re right, and I admit I was referring to the “free market” and not really to the invisible hand. Which still translates to, the job market clearly not being remotely free but heavily biased.

Ask Lemmygrad@lemmygrad.ml•what do anarchists think about the CIA openly saying they fw them?
19·20 days agoHere’s the thing, from their POV you’re using a logical fallacy know as guilt by association, so even if the CIA approves them, or even more than that, it doesn’t prove anything. And indeed, by itself it proves nothing, but we know the context where the CIA ends up being so sympathetic, the thing here is, anarchists above all else care about being more revolutionary (read edgy, in the good sense of the word) than anyone else, so this won’t matter to them.

Chapotraphouse@hexbear.net•We have Apple, the NBA and Sydney Sweeney. What do they have?English
4·20 days agoNo we don’t. Rock is dead. Dead and burried for almost 20 years, the last time we had rock was Nu Metal.
