The Rule
  • Of course! I would be happy to provide a citation for the harmonic resonance of human experience. Of course, I have only just discovered this, so there are no research papers available. In light of this, here is an alternative citation:

  • what stage of capitalism is it when companies that sell products that they know kill people makes an advertisement joking about how their products are a way to get out from under the thumb of other companies that give predatory loans to people who the company knows are likely to take them because their brains aren't yet developed enough to know better

  • Bacon tho
  • Oh, I disagree. Ant colonies go to war with each other all the time. Basically all mammal species see every male in a 5-mile radius fight to the death over a single female. I'm curious what exactly it is the animals are supposed to be innocent of.

  • Monero black marble 0day attack guide? Real or nah?
  • Which is undoubtedly an exploit, but it seems to be one in the exchange rather than one in Monero. Still a massive bug though, and I hate to say this but I kind of agree that any exchange that lets you do that shouldn't be in business

  • “There was four years of Trump and nothing particularly bad happened”
  • "Don't you understand? You'd be voting for a fascist! And that makes YOU a fascist! You gotta vote third party bro, trust me bro, protest votes totally work bro, and Harris is gonna win anyway I guarantee it, just ignore the victory margins in 2016 and 2020"

    Or better yet: "We should let Trump win to stick it to the DNC for not picking someone far enough left. Just ignore the fact that if Trump wins they'll probably pick someone further right next election season anyway. Also I'm sure all those trans people whose lives are now in danger from Project 2025 sleep safer knowing that the blood of those Palestinians that Israel is still killing because Trump is still funneling them weapons isn't on my hands, because I didn't vote for genocide. I'm a great ally."

    If only there were a word for countries or other power structures that halfheartedly look for reasons to throw people who say things they don't like in jail

  • “There was four years of Trump and nothing particularly bad happened”
  • I wouldn't call Project 2025 "more standard American bullshit". It's a plan for how to turn America into a fully fascist country within one presidential term.

    The US is already a fully fascist country.

    Ahh, leftism-doomerism. No one quite so right wing.

  • I don't know how to open that post on my instance so I can reply to it, but if you're willing to give it another shot, I figured out how to get indentexpr= to apply to all buffers from init.vim, using an auto command. Add this to your init.vim:

    autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile,VimEnter * set indentexpr=
    set indentexpr=
    
  • Is it just me or is this going way better than r/place?

    Whenever Reddit hosted r/place, it got instantly dominated by streamers and massive clans covering the canvas in their insignia, anybody else who wanted to draw be damned. I remember in 2022 I was working with a smaller subreddit to try to put a 16x16 graphic somewhere unobtrusive and could scarcely put 3 pixels down before getting overwritten by the German flag that was already taking up 1/3 of the canvas.

    On Canvas yesterday, somebody put up a ~50 pixels wide drawing of Princess Celestia fighting Nightmare Moon (something that wouldn't have survived 20 seconds on Reddit before being vandalized) and the people drawing the osu! logo went behind it!

    I'm just kind of amazed and stunned and glad that we seem to be infinitely better at silently collaborating and not stepping on each other than the people on That Other Site who are obsessed with pointless internet clout.

    a Blast from VRChat's past

    My new user experience has been awful and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Could really use some guidance.

    I recently tried switching from Arch to NixOS and the experience I had can best be described as apalling. I have not had a new user experience this bad since my first dip into Ubuntu dependency hell back in 2016. I'd like to preface this by saying I've been a Linux user in one form or another for almost half my life at this point, and in that time this may well be the most I've struggled to get things to work.

    Apparently they have this thing called home-manager which looks pretty cool. I'd like to give that a shot. Apparently I have to enable a new Nix channel before I can install it. I'm guessing that's the equivalent of a PPA? Well, alright. nix-channel --add ..., nix-channel --update (oh, so it waits until now to tell me I typo'd the URL. Alright), and now to run the installation command and... couldn't find home-manager? Huh?? I just installed it. I google the error message and apparently you have to reboot after adding a new nix-channel and doing nix-channel --update before it will actually take effect, and the home-manager guide didn't tell me that. Ah well, at least it works now.

    I didn't want to wait for KDE and its 6 morbillion dependencies to download, so I opted for Weston. It wasn't a thing in configuration.nix (programs.weston.enable=true; threw an error and there was no page for it on the NixOS wiki), but it was available in nix-env (side note: why does nix-env -i take upwards of 30 seconds just to locate a package?), so I installed it, tried to run it, and promptly got an inscrutable "Permission denied" error with one Google result that had gone unresolved. Oh well, that's alright, I guess that's not supported just yet -- I'll install Sway instead. Great, now I have a GUI and all I need is a browser. nix-env -i firefox gave me the firefox-beta binary which displayed the crash reporter before even opening a browser window. Okay, note to self: always use configuration.nix. One programs.firefox.enable=true; and one nixos-rebuild switch later, I'm off to the races. Browser is up and running. Success! Now I'd like to install a Rust development environment so I can get back to work. According to NixOS wiki, I can copy paste this incantation into a shell.nix file and have rustup in there. Cool. After resolving a few minor hangups regarding compiler version, manually telling rustc where the linker is, and telling nix-shell that I also need cmake (which was thankfully pretty easy), I'm met with a "missing pkg-config file for openssl" error that I have absolutely no idea how to begin to resolve.

    I'm trying to stick with it, I really am -- I love the idea that I can just copy my entire configuration to a brand new install by copying one file and the contents of my home directory and have it be effectively the same machine -- but I'm really struggling here. Surely people wouldn't rave about NixOS as much as they do if it was really this bad? What am I doing wrong?

    Also unrelated but am I correct in assuming that I cannot install KDE without also installing the X server?

    braces for down votes and possible ban

    I've been seeing a worrying number of these people on Lemmy lately, sharing enlightened takes including but not limited to "voting for Biden is tantamount to fascism" and "the concept of an assigned gender, or even an assigned name, at birth is transphobic" and none of them seem to be interested in reading more than the first sentence of any of my comments before writing a reply.

    More often than not they reply with a concern I addressed in the comment they're replying to, without any explanation of why my argument was invalid. Some of them cannot even state their own position, instead simply repeatedly calling mine oppressive in some way.

    It occurred to me just now that these interactions reminded me of nothing so much as an evangelical Christian I got into an argument with on Matrix a while ago, in which I met him 95% of the way, conceded that God might well be real and that being trans was sinful and tried to convince him not to tell that to every trans person he passed, and failed. I am 100% convinced he was trolling -- in retrospect I'm pretty sure I could've built a municipal transport system by letting people ride on top of his goalposts (that's what I get for picking a fight with a Christian at 2AM) -- and the only reason I'm not convinced these leftists on Lemmy are trolls is the sheer fucking number of them.

    I made this post and what felt like half the responses fell into this category. Am I going insane?

    Please, for the love of God, VOTE!

    I don't like Biden either, but anyone with half a brain knows there are two choices in the 2020 election. If we had a sane voting system, voting third party might be worth it, but as it stands, no one but you knows your favorite candidate exists and unless you want to become their campaign manager that will still be true in November. Even if you did, and even if you convinced two thirds of the people who would otherwise have voted for Biden to vote for your chosen candidate instead, Trump would still win because half the country voted for him and your guy only got a third. If you vote third party you might as well stay home.

    Not voting isn't going to stop the genocide in Gaza. The US will continue to funnel them arms no matter which candidate wins this November. Trump practically campaigns on how much he hates the Jews and he's publicly told Israel to "finish up their war". He'll also make life a living hell for anyone who isn't a straight cisgender male back here at home.

    A vote for a candidate is not an endorsement of them or their policies, it's a statement that you like their policies more than the other guy's, and "sticking it to liberals" and "refusing to support genocide" (that's not what voting for Biden is doing, by the way -- a vote for either candidate is a vote for genocide and a vote for neither is an endorsement of both) is not more important than keeping the furthest right politician America has ever seen out of office.

    How incredibly privileged do you have to be to see an entire national election as what will happen in the Middle East and ignore Trump's campaign promises to wipe transgender Americans off the map, and further, to not realize that the same thing will happen in the Middle East regardless of which candidate wins?

    I hate Biden as much as every other leftist here. But I'll still vote for him because Trump is worse. If there's a single bone in your body that cares about the lives of your trans friends you will too.
