Just to add on to your mention of there always being positions of power, I believe there is a difference between someone having power/authority in a specific moment or in a limited capacity versus a hierarchy.

A hierarchy enforces compliance from the top down, while individuals are capable of ceding to limited authority in specific situations; see every Anarchist military unit like the CNT, RIAU, BOAK, YPG and YPJ. Any individual member has the right to disobey, to leave. It’s not a contract enforced by the UCMJ, with codes criminalizing dissent and desertion, like in the US military.

I think the difference between positions inherently having power and hierarchical power have been explained much better in other comments, but I just wanted to add that there are real world examples of Anarchists consenting to power/leadership, and it resulting in effective small unit combat effectiveness, outside of thought experiments or generalities.

Drones aren’t fireworks loud, but they still noisy as hell.

Definitely on mine.

Sorry to necro this but I wanted to thank you for your comprehensive answer to my question. It’s always fascinating to learn about this sort of weird slice of life stuff from other cultures.

Just to clarify, the cook-at-home meals they’re talking about in the article you linked are microwave meals? In the US we have some smaller grocer chains that have cook-at-home kits but they’re more like the Hello Fresh type kits. Instead of being mailed out after being packaged up in a factory or something, they’re packaged up in store so you get a package with meat from the butcher counter in store, the same asparagus at whatever the fuck as you’d get from the produce section there in store, etc. All the spices and shit you need are packaged up for you in the quantity you need, then you just steam and sauté that shit up and you have a meal in like 20 minutes without having to do any prep or anything.

Obviously we also have microwave meals in abundance.

It’s all good. I’ve been having some of those days for what feels like the past month or two now. Hope work chills out for you!

I can’t mention what I’d like to read in his obit on this instance. But you are right, I guess I’d like to read about him twice. First his long term incarceration, followed by his obituary.

As an aside, everyone’s always mentioning the whole “herp derp how you gonna put a former president in jail with secret service detail?”. When that fuckhead gets incarcerated I want him sent to the military wing of Leavenworth. Imagine, Trump in solitary confinement, not allowed to speak to any other inmates, any of the MPs, or even aloud to himself. God damn I’d relish knowing how miserable he’d be in there.

Fast is slow, slow is smooth. Compared to a fighter jet a DJI is primitive, but it’s effective.

I would l like to hear about him one more time, while reading his obituary.

… then call them out on how stupid they are for saying they do not breathe.

Either you’re a mouth breather yourself or you’re a Fallout ghoul or something.

Also the amount of times I heard people called mouth breathers when I was in the Corps is off the charts.

You do realize that anyone viewing this post can upvote or downvote on the comments right? It isn’t limited solely to users of db0.

This is very anecdotal, but both myself and the vast majority of my peers use macOS as their base host system. I work in cybersecurity, specifically offensive penetration testing. Myself, most of my coworkers, and probably half of my peers I’m competing against at local conference CTFs or that I know at local meetups are using a MacBook host with VMs spun up to need.

Something like 75% of my job is done in a Linux VM. Doing it on a MacBook is infinitely more pleasant than any other laptop I’ve ever tried using, regardless of what OS it’s running.

Also, and again extremely anecdotal, the most technical people I’ve ever known were all using hackintoshes when I knew them, and would use MacBooks when away from the home/office.

I really don’t understand where this “Mac products are for non-technical people who want to appear technical” trope comes from. MacOS is a phenomenal product for non-technical people. My partner is the least technical person in the world, but they started using macOS in art school and found it intuitive and easy to use. As a technical person, I appreciate the polished UI built on top of the Unix kernel and that I can do everything I need to do from a terminal shell. The fact that the product is excellent for both wildly disparate types of users is testament to how great it is imo.

Yeah, I thought that would land better.

You are right:

You should have gone with “correct”.

There’s !football@lemmy.world for general discussion. It seemed pretty lively during the Euros.

There’s also !chelseafc@lemmy.world, and while I’m subscribed it’s pretty dead.

No.

Bullets don’t inherently go up when fired, they go straight out of the barrel, the barrel is just inclined because of the sight alignment. You just realign the sights, this isn’t a difficult problem.

Holy shit that got spicy. I was not expecting a Ukrainian and a Serb to start bickering back and forth while stacking racks over the level of support a country gave to the Nazis in WW2 on a kernel mailing list like they were in the comments here on Lemmy.

I get that tensions are high, and for many people the geopolitical reality is their homes being used as cover on an active front line, but like bro your actual fucking name is attached to these messages. At least I keep my most unhinged shit on a semi-anonymous platform. They need to lock it the fuck up.

Edit - jfc, a few messages later somebody comes in with something along the lines of “Taiwan isn’t a country, it’s part of China. When reunification comes sanctions won’t be appropriate against Chinese entities.” Is Lemmy just a front end for this mailing list and I had no idea this entire time?

Like what a transparently shallow fuckhead. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with going bald, it happens to a ton of people. If you’re self conscious about it that’s understandable but for the love of fuck all don’t put a beanie on and wear it 100% of the time, even when it’s 99% humidity outside, and pretend like it’s your fucking brand or whatever. Just take that $100k an episode AND GO GET HAIR PLUGS YOU STUPID FUCK LOOK AT MUSKS HAIR WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU TIMMY.

I really, really, really hate Tim Poole.

To clarify, I’ve never had anyone online get upset with me using they/them, it’s only been in person, after hearing about my conversation with someone else from that second person. I was just left scratching my head with that one, like at least I was trying right? Ultimately though I’ve never experienced being misgendered, by accident or intentionally, so idk how it feels, idk how it feels after the thousandth time, and so I can’t really be mad about it back you know? I was just more sad that the default globally applicable pronoun wasn’t anymore, even if it usually still is.
