There’s a fair history of security services acting as agents provocateur infiltrating socialist and trade union movements to split them apart get evidence or ‘intel’ to imprison leaders. Certainly in the UK that was a part of their union busting tactics. So it is something to be aware of.

I’m not sure that is what is happening on here though. I’m also not sure if that’s what OP was referring to.

I don’t think magic is objective; I think it is in the eye of the beholder.

If the audience don’t understand it, or can be distracted from seeing the truth of it, it’s magic or a miracle or whatever to them. And the magician - if they know what they’re doing - can wield power over the rubes.

So before you understand - say, magnetism - better, lodestones can be seen as magical or heaven-sent.

There’ll be physical phenomena today like ‘spooky action at a distance’ or something where even quite learned observers might not 100% know the laws of physics. Some exploit of that can appear as magical until the laws are figured out and well communicated.

If it turns out that the underlying laws are stochastic rather than deterministic, then there’s always going to be some grey areas i think.

Michealwaves have like 200 times more michaelfarads of capacity.

I don’t post actual threads, but my most downvoted comment was this one that I’m quite proud of:

Debian is a joke, it is so far out of date it is unusable for anything except cave-painting or maybe a stone circle.

Ubuntu is way better.

So yeah, I’d recommend OP baits linuxmemes. I think it has more users, more touchy, less sense of humour. But you’re also less likely to get your post banned in a memes forum.

Did you try asking “Will you please downvote this?” in “nostupidquestions”.

I don’t think it’ll beat ragebait though.

Looks like it was also getting turned into an fur scarf.

It is probably just a video he’s making about how to self-host a 3GW nuclear power station, so that you can self-host a hundred million raspberry pi cluster.

Are there any flies buzzing around?

All of the sweet, sweet gross domestic product statistics. Mmm I love GDPness.

hand sanitiser probably works.

Favourite book?

Don Key-ote.

Does that say “Sir Ballin’ wielded the Lance of Longpenis”?

Modern depictions aren’t pron enough.

The ifixit toolkit has it - well with a hex shank.

But the last time i actually opened that hatch, i had to split a sliver off a wooden stick (coffee stirrer).

Well, its on lemmy and you’re several comments deep.

You’re almost bound to hit a vein of unsolicited socialism/communism by that point - it’s basic geology.

It seems to me that quite a lot of people want flies and that’s why quite a lot of resources are put into that type of shit.

I was trying to explain to this dude in the pub - who didn’t understand my explanation that I don’t have a hairstyle - that I thought vanity was a waste of resources, and he looked at me like: “but everyone wants to look good, right?” He was confused. I was confused.

TFW you seg fault youself today, just to see if it is real.

More likely, skynet already happened, you’re probably the cpu.

Even more likely, You’re the dream inside of the brain of one of skynet’s electric sheep.

I’m sure by windows 12 or 13 coprolite will be so good they will get rid of both control panel and command prompt/powershell. The best ui is no ui.

In any case, the users won’t want to mess with settings once the OS already knows which advert they want to see next.

fantastic story.
