A couple of decades in the future the addition of “Presidented” to American English (verb: to arbitrarily make a declaration or issue an order, implicitly illegally) will really confuse things

Imagine thinking Brian Tarbell Brian gets to decide

“Soldiers don’t go to hell”

Yeah, like even if they did manage to break away they would constantly be getting little raiding parties and all sorts of harassment from the old government and continually have to waste all sorts of resources on defending themselves. If it gets to the point where open armed conflict with the US government seems like a good idea you might as well skip past secession to overthrow.

I think it’s a way bigger problem how some adults refuse to ever consider that the system is at fault and think every single problem in the world must be reduced down to an individual failing instead of a badly designed system that makes it easy for individuals to fail for stupid reasons

I asked that question recently and got some helpful responses,

tl;dr PieFed has different people behind it, a few more features, and is written in Python instead of Rust (I’m not a coder or an instance host, so don’t ask me what that distinction means, but I’ve anecdotally seen more people saying python is easier to work with than rust than the other way around),

PieFed communities federate with Lemmy communities, tho, so no matter which kind of instance you’re going through as a user you should be able to interact with all the communities (assuming your instance admins haven’t decided to defederate with the other instance for some reason)

Sly and the Family Stone’s “There’s a Riot Goin On” was the first thing that came to my mind

Stereolab’s “Mars Audiac Quintet” was a close second

“Your screens should be nicer to you than this one. Join Lemmy!”

Sometimes, I’ve started seeing newer ones in some places where there is no mute button

Hmm, maybe someone could make some stickers with anti-advertising/anti-capitalist slogans on them for the next person to see specifically for this purpose

Yeah, good question and good answer

You can export your Lemmy account settings and import them to Piefed, but not the other way around

Does account settings include a user’s subscribed communities?

But the coolest thing is that it does not need to be a competition. Both platforms can do good in the federation.

100% agreed, I’d even go further and say that having a diversity of systems makes for a more resilient ActivityPub ecosystem. It’s not only non-competitive, it’s inherently cooperative.

The fact that PieFed and Lemmy work interchangeably with each other is wonderful, and that plus the fact that I’m lazy means I’m probably going to keep primarily going through lemmy.world for now, but I’m definitely going to keep thinking about it and checking up on it.

Unfortunately I think the regulation that would have made that the case was stopped by the Trump administration

Also, it’s arbitrary and capricious - this is hitting everyone in the prison, regardless of their sentence, just because they happen to be incarcerated at the wrong place and time

[rips blunt] The dissonant design philosophies between the text and the image emphasize how technological progress guided by an uncaring market will gradually create greater psychological distance between people over time

If they spend weeks convincing you that you should do it, give you money or other resources to do it, or so on, then it can be entrapment.

Things like that should theoretically help you make an argument for entrapment, but it’s no sure thing

I have, but I also have a touch of dysgraphia, so my handwriting is serviceable but really slow (like, the 2d spatial relation skills of being able to keep the different bits of letters proportioned to each other takes active concentration for me), whereas I can use keyboard without thinking about it

Incidentally, the fact that cursive was a graded subject for me in elementary school that almost led to me getting held back a grade probably played a big part in who I grew up to be (i.e. someone who usually doesn’t like authority figures but does like misfits and outcasts)
