Started with wirebase.org because it’s local, but there was a lot of downtime. Switched to lemmy.sdf.org because they’re also local, but are also a really old group that still hosts Usenet stuff. I’ve recently learned that they have never defederated though, and so I’m considering leaving because I don’t believe in giving a platform to obvious disinformation and hate campaigns.

Right wing is the one that actively and openly hurts people, so yeah I do see a difference tbh

I know there’s a lot about his voting record that I disagree with, but I haven’t looked close enough to see if he actively supported fascist policies on the regular. If so, I’d agree

I guess I see that more as an embodiment of the US government for decades, so I don’t attribute that to Biden himself being a fascist. I don’t think mass incarceration is inherently fascist, although I could be wrong on that. Everything else on that list has been US policy for my entire life. That would be the center of the Venn diagram where both side’s evil overlaps, but I don’t think it’s enough to call Biden himself a fascist in the same way you can actually call Trump a fascist because he himself embodies all of the values. I don’t think participating in a fascist system automatically makes you a fascist. Evil to ignore it? Yes, but that’s not the same thing.

Can you explain exactly how Biden is a fascist? Regardless of what you think of him I don’t see how that applies. The “both sides are the same” argument is getting very tiring, they’re both evil, but they’re absolutely not the same.

So sad it didn’t take off, I would love to have an alternative to Android or iOS right now

That happened a lot in NY too, I think we called them sticker shops

I’ve been pissed about this for a decade

Also, same

Well sure but you could just replace it with an LED bulb…

Planned obsolescence is a thing here. The LEDs don’t fail, it’s the power circuitry. Unfortunately the fixture theory doesn’t pan out, as fixtures meant for incandescent bulbs need to be able to dissipate much more heat (about 6 times as much). I’ve been using LED bulbs for 7 years in all sorts of different fixtures and have never had even one burn out on me. Why? I don’t really know. Maybe I turn the lights on less often than other people?

I hate that the article opens with

Just a decade ago, the concept of self-driving cars might have seemed like something out of a science fiction movie

Ten years ago there was already a ton of competition in self driving car research. They were first legalized on the roads 10 years ago. Tesla autopilot (including it even though it was a scam) was sold 9 years ago. Google spun off its self driving car division as waymo in 2016.

This feels like one of those “bruh Zelda ocarina of time came out 29 years ago, we old” memes

Sort of. There are colleges within university in the US too, we just don’t usually talk about it

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleopatra_race_controversy Her race is actually heavily debated by historians, so that’s not a very clear cut example.

People don’t generally do that. If you’re referring to Hamilton, it was not a documentary or a biography. And historically white people did that all the time in plays/movies for entertainment, so why get all angry about it now that it’s not white people?

I think at some point the /s isn’t needed

I got shocked by those in Oregon while biking regularly when I lived there. Trick is to touch the metal frame with your legs and hand as you go under and it doesn’t hurt
