“Capitalism for All!”

“BOOOOOOOOOOOO”

“um…Capitalism for some…MINI BOLIVIA FLAGS FOR EVERYONE ELSE!”

“YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!”

just upgraded my instance. pretty good, very smooth and yay animated profile avatars!

I don’t understand what exactly this is as it doesn’t go into great detail especially the whole “flavors” thing. There’s Ember, Social, Community, and Corporation so what’s the difference between each. in the documentation for installation it tells you to pick a flavor but again doesn’t describe what each “flavor” actually is.

So is this like meetup or some kind of neighborhood app/social group thing? I’d be willing to set up an instance on my server of it today but I don’t even know what this really is.

never really an issue with that either because most GUI menus will trigger via alt. even in something like KDE with the proper keybindings setup it’s not an issue. heck even discord now has keyboard navigation.

I use Qutebrowser. All links and interactions are keybound. so if for example I want to “click” on your user name I hit “F” which pops up a link hint and then hit whatever two letters are over the link. so for your profile it would be f + ll. that’s it. everything that it’s on a webpage that you would normally use a mouse to interact with can all be done with keybinds. It’s great, it’s quick.

Browser navigation is also keybound. if I want to go back I hit shift+h. forward is shift+l. to switch tabs it’s shift+j or k. closing a tab is just pressing d.

there’s also extenstions for chrome and firefox that will do the same thing like vimium and tridactyl.

If you’ve used Vim for an extended period of time then navigating the same way in a browser is actually awesome. takes a bit to get used to but once you do you won’t go back and trying to use a browser with a mouse just feels slow.

The thing about Vim is once you get the navigation down you’ll want it for everything and you’ll refuse to go back to anything else.

I used Vim for so long that I can’t live without some form of vim style navigation. my Window Manager uses it, my web browser uses it, all my TUIs use it, hell I even switched to Emacs and installed Doom Emacs and THAT uses it. Now I only ever use a mouse for gaming because you realize that navigating around your PC purely with your keyboard is actually faster than using a mouse. I’ve disabled the touchpad completely on both my laptops.

If you’re digging Vim check out NeoVim with LazyVim. makes plugins and theming and what have you easier. I use it as my backup to DOOM Emacs.

won’t work. Evidently The Maldives have never heard of this thing we like to call “history”.

They’ve been poking the bear for a while now and the bear continues to sleep. It’s either because a good chunk of Americans are wise to their scheme OR a good chunk of Americans are too lazy or afraid to do anything about it. ICE, deploying the National Guard to various places, political assassinations and attempts, potential hunger riots, etc, etc, etc and non of it has worked.

It’ll be interesting to see exactly WHAT results in Americans saying “enough is enough” but at this point…I don’t think there’s anything that will do that.

it’s so incredibly frustrating reading americans thoughts on this stuff. like you just stroll over to virtually any reddit thread regarding anything the administration is doing and it’s always “this must be illegal” or “it’s happening” and what have you. Like they still don’t get it. “I can’t believe they’re doing what they said they were going to do, I hope someone stops them” - proceeds to keep doom scrolling.

And then you have the democrats that insist the system isn’t broken, insist that if they continue to play by the rules than the other side will also eventually decide that the rules should be followed…no, that’s not how this work. A cheater doesn’t suddenly have a come to jesus moment and thinks “you know…I really shouldn’t cheat anymore.”

honestly it’s better to just host your own private instance as if you want a lemmy and mastodon instance that others can also set up you not only have to admin it you also have to moderate it.

Also keep in mind it’s NOT just actual people signing up but you also have to deal with all the bots which WILL register en masse to your instances. a lot of people won’t mention this. bots flock to this stuff like flies on shit. It’s not worth it unless you plan on really dedicating the time to actively admin your instances.

I run Akkoma instead of Mastodon and Piefed instead of lemmy. both of which were easier to setup than mastodon/lemmy and less resource heavy.

ah ok, thanks for explaining that makes sense. yeah I clearly missed it.

But you can do all this anyways, this isn’t new or ground breaking.

you can load up Claude Code an a completely empty directory and tell it to build something and it will do it. it’ll do it slowly and most of the time incorrectly but it’ll eventually build “something” that will sort of work. Unless i’m still waiting for my coffee to kick in and I’m missing something here - companies already do this. Hell a lot of my current clients currently do this. no code, nothing to base anything off, just tells Claude an idea for a project and to build it.

can’t speak for other countries but I can tell you first hand that Canada has REALLY soured on India and Indians. Many view Indians as exploiting student visas in order to gain PR status, an unwillingness to acclimatize to Canada, taking jobs and housing, etc. Also doesn’t help that a year or two ago a couple people working for the Indian government murdered a Sikh Canadian in BC thus many Canadians want nothing to do with India and were angry with Prime Minister Carney this past week after he tried to fix relations with India.

I mean if you’re that gung ho to stay within the commonwealth then why the hell would you go to the UK to “avoid” social media ban to a place that is more strict? Why not move to Canada?

ok so…do something about it. oh wait…you can’t.

just another dog and pony show.

I’m Canadian and pretty much every American I’ve met that came up here has been nice. Loud, but nice. but seriously, you guys are really loud.

I don’t understand why though. If the files were released tomorrow and it had his name in big bold colourful letters all throughout it what then? I know he’s in them, you know he’s in them, EVERYONE knows he’s in them so what’s the point? motions to impeach the fucker get presented almost every week and go no where. Why would I believe THIS time would be different? Nothing can touch the guy. Hell he lead a coup at one point and US fuckers elected him AGAIN.

I GUARANTEE you if the files were released tomorrow there would be a collective “A-HA TOLD YA SO” and then jack all because that’s how Americans operate - focus on one thing, get obsessed with it, lose focus, wait for the next thing.

good. fuck the US.

I live in Canada, my Parents live in the US.

this past weekend my Uncle in England passed away from cancer and my parents are heading back for the funeral. I’m absolutely terrified for them because they have dual US and Canadian Citizenship. I’m scared what’s going to happen to them when they try to re-enter the US. I really wish they didn’t have to go.
