The violence wouldn’t have been escalated if

1. The cops didn’t chase them down for a measly fare
2. The cops weren’t absolute monsters that shoot first and ask questions never

Simple cause and effect, coupled with pre-existing fear of cops because of the multitude of times they’ve shot a person dead over nothing, or kneeled on their neck until they were dead over cigarettes.

I thought you were the other person. It’s hard when you both sound the same.

Low effort.

I can almost guarantee this is the same person on a different account. Not even a day old and all just shitpost comments.

You just sound insufferable as fuck lol.

This is why I stopped identifying myself as full-stack and only do front end.

Hey anyone play Habbo Hotel???

Hell yes.

I’m a lefty to the bone and have been since I was a kid. I’ve spent most of my life in the south and have met some amazing redneck folks that don’t fit into this mold.

Basically, don’t put your potential working class allies into a box.

Lmao that is wild. I’ve tried a couple others and Mullvad has been my favorite so far.

My identity comment was tied to Mullvad itself. They don’t require any identifying information when signing up. For the kind of protection you’re talking about, yeah you’re gonna have to go further than just a VPN. Their fingerprinting capabilities are ridiculous.

I signed up for Mullvad and it’s worth it. Super cheap and no data tied to you.

I still have some of my game booklets from NES, Genesis/Master System, and N64. I always kept them in bags as a kid so they’re nice and crisp.

I’m subbed to a handful of communities in .ml and it’s not that bad. I consider myself communist, but not of the tankie flavor. Authoritarianism is never a good thing.

If people don’t like those views, they shouldn’t wade in unless they’re willing to have a grounded conversation and not just drop a played out one-liner. I think the most recent uptick in complaints about .ml are because of how often it criticizes liberalism.

Lemmy instances are essentially forums. If I go to a conservative community and tell them all that Marx was right all along, I’m not gonna be surprised when I get banned. Complaining about mods is a tale as old as time itself.

I think it’s just part of this “move fast” mentality. We’re at a point where we’re forced to move so quickly that things get thrown out the window just to meet a deadline.

Software teams solved this a fucking eternity ago through shared component and design libraries. Meanwhile, all of these FAANG companies are out here pushing surveillance tools that are all clearly built by siloed teams with zero collaboration.

I swear I can find an applicable Marx excerpt for almost anything. His work has strengthened my anti-capitalist conversations a ton.
