i’ve been on the receiving end of his cunty-ness in person as a lowley tech support minion that he was forced to work with, as well as several other well known pioneers; i can tell through this thread that dessalines is an angel by comparison and i’ve never met them.

this post makes me wish lemmy.world did the same thing

watch everyone but leftists, that lemmy was created for, avoid this thread

canadians, maybe; but american’s can only vote for a “lesser evil” at best, so that’s never going to happen.

i had this cuban moreno friend who was overly proud of his spanish heritage and would make fun of my chicano spanish sometimes. each time he did it in public, i would shut him up by asking someone in the group which one of us was latino which one was american; my garden variety mexican looks always got picked as latino and his afrocubano ass got picked as american. it was especially delicious if the person i asked knew that he could speak spanish.

i thoroughly enjoyed using american racism to put him in his place and it’s probably the only time in my life where that racism worked to my advantage. lol

the same thing i did when even biden, et al. voted against gay marriage; gays in the military; supported gay ban in the federal gov’t and stayed silent on a slew of anti-immigrant & anti-abortion state laws.

why is duckduckgo out?

yes but reddit always sheds users every once and a while

Support is moving to discord

do you know where?

it’s a political one.

we’re doomed!!!

There’s lots of LGBTQ+ and FOSS (I wonder why lol).

the lemmyverse was created by tankies as a leftists social media platform; it moved to center right and octupled in users when reddit went full corporate.

there’s a lot of overlap between lgbtq and left leaning views as well as left leaning views and foss enthusiasts.

hi. are you me? lol

I’m an Aussie in my early-mid 30s. I’ve been living in the USA for the past 11 years. I’ve been a software developer, mostly focusing on web development, since the late 90s personally and since the mid 2000s professionally.

so your birth year would be somewhere between 1987 to 1993; you started professional web development when you were 14 to 20 years old? you moved to the us somewhere between 20 and 26 years old?

i didn’t even start dating until i was 27 and my career at 26 while my first website was at 16 years old and i never truly left the country; you’re either very impressive or lucky af! i envy you! ;)

Linux user, still tweaking colors and theme options in their DE after 4 years: Let me finish setting up my device!

switch to gnome; customizations are intentionally buried because a huge majority of users don’t go very deep w with them.

and a vm or 2

i’ve learned the hard way that the aftermarket makers have learned that planned obsolescence makes them more $$$ and going for similarly aged infotainment systems work longer than many of the new stuff

add to that list better gas mileage than most new cars of the same type and i feel the same way bout my '08 ranger. i’ve had to upgrade the infotainment system 3x already because of the planned obsolescence built into them.

and here i was thinking that i was ahead of the curb with my 16 year old car because it gets better gas mileage than most new cars of the same type.

i like the police warnings and the apps that automatically look for a better route in real time when there’s traffic; which means i’ll be keeping my already 16 year old car until i die or parts run out, i guess
