The ACA never happened in your mind?

Got sources that debunk those? I’d like to learn.

This isn’t a helpful answer and comes across as disingenuous. You should provide even just a few.

I like “handy tab” better.

A record is not a solid master copy. Vinyl, as an analog medium, wears out in the same way a cassette does.

I was trying to point out the hypocrisy of branding your instance to be about privacy and security when tankie-glorified regimes don’t respect that at all, and they’re instead mildly pushing people in that direction. Why not use something from the EFF pages on those topics? Nice strawman, though.

Joined Lemmy.ml because it was supposed to be a security, privacy and FOSS focused community

Yep that’s the line the developers put up there to lure people in. It’s mildly disingenuous at best. Having to copy a line from a document titled “The Principles of Communism” just to sign up should’ve tipped you off that something was a bit weird.

Join an instance that has more lax federation standards and subscribe to the ml communities you care about, or get comfortable with defederation and people from other instances discarding your opinions. It’s a choice you need to make.

That is quite simple. You’re the only one to provide a coherent answer so far so thanks for that.

I’m looking for a bit more info though. Did you get any other benefits besides the equivalent of warm fuzzies? Sounds like an extremely outsized cost/benefit assessment you had to confirm.

Why was it worth it? What benefits did you gain from the change?

I dunno man. When I was 20, I didn’t piss on my parent’s clothes, shit right next to the toilet, and smack glass objects off tabletops for fun.

If the government told me that my “score” dictating my ability to participate in society would be greatly affected based on what I thought of the government, I’d support the heck out of that government too.

Calling out a government for flagrant propaganda has nothing at all to do with race.

This feels like a hasty “solution” to an invented “problem”. Sure, Wikipedia isn’t squeaky clean, but it’s pretty damn good for something that people have been freely adding knowledge to for decades. The cherry-picked examples of what makes Wikipedia " bad" are really not outrageous enough to create something even more niche than Wikia, Fandom, or the late Encyclopedia Dramatica. I appreciate the thought, but federation is not a silver bullet for everything. Don’t glorify federation the way cryptobros glorify the block chain as the answer to all the problems of the world.

Imagine being this petty.

Your math is wrong. If the Celeron runs 65W at idle then it is consuming at minimum 1.56kWh a day, at a price of €0.20 per kWh you’re looking at a minimum operating cost of €113.88 a year.

You didn’t factor in that days have 24 hours, not one hour.

Sir, this is Lemmy. The correct terms are “fuck cars” and “capitalism bad”.
