kidnapping them in the street at gunpoint like a common thug isn’t really work

Kidnapping sounds like a lot of work. Sounds exhausting.

This applies to “teens” until they have to get jobs and do what they’re told or else be homeless.

Sometimes I use my X380 yoga as a tablet. It’s an actual mini laptop (13" screen) but it will turn sideways as a tablet, it’s touch-screen, and it has a pen built into the side. You can fold the keyboard around (thus the “yoga” element), which disables the keyboard and makes it an actual tablet. Really great. 10/10

There are newer yoga models but I can’t vouch for them because I only have this one.

Oh thank god… so the queen’s still alive?

I’m not actually sure that’s true.

Now it can hold even more energy.

I love this

I don’t even notice Debian, which is exactly how an operating system should work.

And yet…

I tried to visit but their security certificate is expired. Are they still a legit site?

That’s ominous.

If this amazing product is going to change the world, how is it not making enough money?

Give me a decent chunk of the company so I make proportional profits. Otherwise, no thanks.

Do you think the fediverse has a civility problem?

Short answer: yes.

Long answer: social media (and humans) have a civility problem. And I wonder how much of it is astroturfed. When Trump was first running for the 2016 election, social media was flooded with racism. You disagreed with one twitter egg, and five more were like “debate me bro” and they had all these stats about race-science, and rhetoric to misconstrue the nature of equality and the value of liberalism. I don’t think it was grassroots. I think it was Steve Bannon’s troll army or some other coordinated institution. Here on Lemmy I keep seeing violent leftist rhetoric, and I also wonder if it’s feds, or reddit’s goons undermining the competition. They’ll post “murder all pigs” or “shoot fascists” and get like a thousand upvotes, and their arguments are belligerent and idiotic, and they pile on you for disagreeing. Feels coordinated. Feels like 2016 honestly.

is there anything we can do about it?

Downvote, report, block. Don’t engage (trying to remember that myself). But I bet they’re still driving people away.

Free speech is chaotic specifically because it allows chaotic speech. So free speech being chaotic doesn’t depend on the speaker’s opinions. A particular instance of speech being chaotic depends on the speaker’s opinion. But free speech is chaotic because it’s all about allowing a chaos of speech.

What depends on my opinions?

I’m pretty sure free speech is chaotic. I’m 100% for it, but it’s chaotic.

Nobody’s complaining about the simple.wikipedia part, but you already know that.

They’re not missing that part. Nobody’s “raging” against simple.wikipedia
