"I can change them"

Erm, actually, I[them] = them 🤓

Steam OS is completely open source except for the Steam client.

we must fund the femboy line!

Two (presumably) girls lying in bed holding hands and looking at each other. The one on the left, labeled "Me" has shoulder-length hair, an uncomfortable :| expression, and is wearing a black hoodie, grey jeans, and sneakers. The one on the right, labeled "Also me" has longer hair, a subtle smile, a blush, and is wearing a dress...

Wayland compositors might implement it this century

zea_64 ,

They do, I was joking. It's not as funny to say the ecosystem is slowly trudging along.

I love the feeling of accomplishment and reward when I earn a bonus for the CEO instead of me!

zea_64 ,

Even if it was a natural change, it's still really bad for humanity and requires immediate mitigation.

zea_64 ,

Agreed except the "mid 20s" thing, I wouldn't have survived that long.

Please, for the love of God, VOTE! (pawb.social)

I don't like Biden either, but anyone with half a brain knows there are two choices in the 2020 election. If we had a sane voting system, voting third party might be worth it, but as it stands, no one but you knows your favorite candidate exists and unless you want to become their campaign manager that will still be true in...

zea_64 ,

I think these parties would sooner abandon no-voters who want change rather than actually change.

zea_64 ,

I'm doing the moral calculations. Fuck Biden, but fuck Trump more. If I vote for Biden, millions suffer. If I vote for Trump (or waste my vote so he wins), even more suffer. Doesn't take too much evaluating to pick being slapped in the face vs bring punched in the face.

I absolutely support the undecided campaign in the primaries to put pressure on Biden, but putting pressure on him and the DNC by letting Trump be in charge for another 4 years is a terrible idea. Even without Trump in office the GOP is quickly eroding even the semblance of democracy we've had for a while, but with 4 years of Trump accelerating that I think this would be the last time my vote even slightly matters. Then I'd also need to evacuate from the country because I'm trans and don't want them ruining my life. I'm voting for Biden in the general to avoid that, and then afterwards I guess I have to figure out what I can even do about the still-evolving bad situation that I helped successfully slow.

If reducing suffering and not letting an impossible perfect be the enemy of the better is amoral, I don't understand your definition of moral. I'm a utilitarian if you couldn't tell.

zea_64 ,

As if Trump wouldn't exterminate them harder. With just the choice between these 2 candidates, I vote for the lesser genocider and then apply as much pressure as possible to lower that genocidey-ness even more. Short of a revolution, it's the best we can do.

zea_64 ,

It's not implying they support fascism, it's implying they're letting fascism happen faster, because they are.

zea_64 ,

The parties don't really care if you don't vote, so not voting doesn't apply pressure to them to change.

zea_64 ,

Between genocider and genocider-but-worse, I'm not gonna stand by and let genocider-but-worse win power.

zea_64 ,

I account for that, obviously. Expected value is a good approximation.

zea_64 ,

There's always uncertainty, yes. I suppose other moral systems claim they're infallible but those people are just kidding themselves.

zea_64 ,

If you can convince me voting for Trump will give greater expected value then I'll do it, but such absurd possibilities like you said usually come with an exact inverse that cancels out its expected value.

Should I let that butterfly flap its wings? What if it causes a tornado somewhere?! Or, what if it not flapping causes a tornado somewhere?! Both are equally plausible, so there's no point in choosing my actions based on them.

zea_64 ,

This is useful though. Pretending there's no uncertainty is just kidding yourself.

zea_64 ,

Agree we should work outside the system, disagree that we should not use our vote strategically.

zea_64 ,

I want good outcomes, not the feeling of personal moral purity. Outcomes are inherently uncertain. You can say "murder bad, no uncertainty", but that still leaves the outcome, the part I care about, uncertain.

If I wanted moral certainty above all else, I could just say everything's moral.

zea_64 ,

Our challenges are unique among all generations, but the fact that we have challenges is not. Your quality of life is up in the air unfortunately, but the world will turn on as it always has. The world is not ending.

zea_64 ,

Like, do people understand that entities that aren't the state can harm them?

zea_64 ,

Gotta change your username now :(

zea_64 ,

If your social sphere is small, there aren't a lot of people to want/love you. And the "failure" bit depends on your goals, you might have just set them too high. Remember, this is a game of incremental progress.

zea_64 ,

Bad max! 😾

zea_64 ,

Highest mean wealth sure, but median...

zea_64 ,

It's taken me a year to somewhat consistently not see myself as that predatory/awkward/appropriating man image, and that's with a social network that has not once projected that onto me. I can only imagine how much harder it is when they're not supportive.

I think Abraham Lincoln said that

zea_64 ,

The one time I was hit while cycling, I had my attention split 2 ways and was hit by a driver from a 3rd conflict point.

When you see a cyclist doing something dangerous, you make note of that to confirm the idea that cyclists are stupid and reckless. But when you see a driver doing that, you're so used to it it doesn't even register as "all drivers are stupid and reckless".

Now I'm imagining an iron proletariat uprising

I mean uh, yeah sure, whatever.

zea_64 ,

If you must avoid code blocks, that means you can only use one line. I don't think you can be Turing complete if each function can only call one function. I don't even think you can get a context-free grammar, Chomsky normal form at least allows a variable to expand into two variables.

Change your tab width, but tabs are literally made for indentation.
