Unfortunately, reclaimthenet.org has become more and more click-baity in their headlines…
This is what he said (from the reclaimthenet.org article):
“We’ve seen them; Snapchat, TikTok and several others, serve as places where violent gatherings have been organized, but there’s also a form of mimicry of the violence which for some young people leads them to lose touch with reality.
“You get the impression that for some of them they are experiencing on the street the video games that have intoxicated them,” he added.
The ministers have been complaining about a “gamification” of the riots, where protesters push each other to destroy more stuff through social media. And that’s what he was condemning.
I’m not aware of him having requested deletions of riot content. That would, indeed, by worrying for a western democracy… But France civil liberties have been on the downward-trend since the 2015 Paris attacks. So I could see this happening. But data to social media companies have been requested, which is IMHO not alarming, but always makes me uneasy…
Think about things from the point of view of someone who has never used Reddit or the fediverse, but you've heard about them both from recent news articles and want to see what they are about....
It's fair to want to ostracize those who claim to be "moderate" who are anything but, absolutely. Concerning civil and political rights, there should BE no moderate. Either you support people's fundamental rights or you do not. Either you support everyone's right to love, sex, and associate with consenting adults or you do not. Either you support people's right to choose what to do with their bodies or you do not. There's little left to discuss.
Having said that, the US (and the world generally) has a terrible record, left or right, in supporting people's civil and political rights. I'm overjoyed that at least left leaning folk now support those rights, but it wasn't a decade or two ago that those on the left of the political spectrum were parroting many of the same things that the right now parrots. "Marriage is between a man and a woman." "Don't ask, don't tell." So while I am glad they've shifted, I'm always concerned that if the political winds shift again, those in power will sacrifice individual rights in the name of maintaining said power as they did before they decided that advocating for our rights was going to keep them elected.
How? Why would you resort to lying? I'm pro choice, I despise Trump, I'm pro gay and trans rights, I believe in UBI for everyone (as well as keeping the free market in place), pro legalization (of every drug), pretty anti gun but I still believe it's peoples right to own them, I think police should be completely reformed and prisons fundamentally changed to be places of rehabilitation. What opinion of mine shows I'm on the right end of the spectrum? Because I believe in nuance and civil discourse? That I think all humans deserve forgiveness and a chance to grow and become better? Please, do enlighten me.
Pretty sure this racist, illegitimate court, knew what they were doing in ruling that religious beliefs override protected classes, including those in the Civil Rights act. The Klan is a religion after all.
Based on the Civil Rights Act of 1964, they cannot discriminate for any reason that is a protected status. However, they can makeup any reason for not serving them. That means some racist asshole could say they aren’t serving the black customer because they were rude or some other made up shit. Thankfully, your political stance is not a protected status.
“No one threatened to kill Dylan Mulvaney. We threatened to (and made good on) no longer drinking Bud Light,” Owens tweeted on Thursday. “I’m so sick of the ‘trans community’ pretending they are Black people surviving the klan in the 1920′s — while [they] shake their fake implants on the White House lawn.”...
Candace Owens has weighed in on the Dylan Mulvaney Bud Light controversy.
The right-wing podcaster, known for her support of Donald Trump and Kanye West, has responded to the trans influencer’s recent remarks about being “abandoned” by the iconic beer brand amid the backlash sparked by their partnership earlier this year.

The founder of the Blexit organization has been an outspoken critic of transgender identities.
“Transgenderism is, among other things, an utterly fictitious ‘civil rights’ movement, comprised mostly of a bunch of mentally deranged gay men that are looking for permission to live out their sexual fetishes publicly,” the polarizing pundit recklessly wrote in another tweet.
Owens’ remarks were a direct response to Mulvaney’s claims of experiencing “bullying and transphobia” earlier in the day.
The TikTok superstar took to social media to break her silence about the firestorm her association with Bud Light left in its wake.
“For months now, I’ve been scared to leave my house,” Mulvaney said in her 4-minute video. ”I have been ridiculed in public. I’ve been followed, and I have felt a loneliness that I wouldn’t wish on anyone.”
In early April, a short video posted on Mulvaney’s Instagram account showed her opening up a can of Bud Light with her face on it.
A conservative-led boycott ensued, causing Bud Light — which had been the bestselling brew nationwide since 2001 — to take a major decline in sales.
First of all. Thank you for civil discussion. As you say this is weird place to have such discussion, but it’s also true that these jokes often have some kernel of truth to them that makes these discussions happen organically.
So with that out of the way and with no bad intentions on my side:
I’ve noticed you use Dockerfiles and Docker Images interchangeably. And this might be the core of misunderstanding here. What I was describing is that:
Developer builds an image (using Dockerfile or otherwise) on their laptop and then pushes that image to a Docker repository.
This exact same image is then used in CI to do integration tests, scanning, whatever…
If all is good, this image is then deployed to production.
So if you compare sha of the image in production and on developers laptop, they are the same checksums. Files are identical. Nix arrives to this destination kind of from the other side. Arguably in more elegant way, but in both cases files are the same.
This was the promise (or one possibility) in the early days of Docker. Obviously there are some problems with this approach. Like what if CPU architecture of the laptop differs from production server? Well that wasn’t a problem back in 2014, because ARM servers just didn’t exist. (Not in any meaningful way) There’s also this disconnection between the code that generates the image and the image itself, that goes to production. How do you trust environment (laptop) where image is built. Etc… So it just didn’t stick as a deployment pattern.
Many of these things Nix solves. But in terms of “it works on my laptop” what I wrote in previous comment applies. The environment differences themselves rather than slightly different build artefacts is what’s frequently the problem. Nix is not going to solve the problem of slightly different databases because developer is runing MariaDB locally to test, but in production we use DB managed by AWS. Developer is not going to catch this quirky behavior of how his app responds to proxy, because they do not run AWS ELB on their laptop, but production is behind it. You get the idea.
When developer says it works okay on their laptop, what it usually means is the they do not have 100% copy of production locally (because obviously they don’t) and that as a result they didn’t encounter this specific failure mode.
Which is not to say, that Nix is bad idea. Nix is great. I’m just saying that there’s more to the “laptop problem” than just reproducible builds - we had those even before Docker Images.
Hope that makes sense. And again, thanks for civil discussion.
As we start to see more users join, it's inevitable to see trolls (especially low-effort trolls) making more of an appearance and trying to be controversial and noticed....
The_Donald was not about political opinions. It was a hate farm that made neofascists out of people who came for the lulz. By all means let's have actual conservatives discuss politics as a counterpoint to more liberal views, but smack the fascists down - because it's the only way to truly have a tolerant society and civil discourse: Intolerance as politics must not be tolerated. If that basic rule is ignored, everything else fails.
Not mentioned in the in the article or interview but DS9 of course also did an episode set in 2024 with no mention of the Eugenics Wars or WW3. Picard did reference its Sanctuary Districts though which was nice.
And yeah this was an issue in the pilot, when Like summarized Earth history. Events spiral from the Second American Civil War into the Eugenics Wars and ultimately World War III.
Civil rights groups and Democrats reacted angrily to the US supreme court decision in favor of the Colorado web designer Lorie Smith, who argued she had a first amendment right to refuse to provide services for same-sex marriages. Critics of the court’s decision say it ushers in a new era of prejudice in America....
See, this actually is something I’ve been worrying about for a long time, but no one really takes me seriously when I bring it up:
The U.S. is in a perfect storm of massive debt, failing infrastructure, a collapsing economy, and disaster after disaster because of climate change. This is what’s been driving the rise of fascism in this country – and that’s functionally what this shit is, no swastikas required – and it’s apparent to anybody with any insight that the Supreme Court doing this is driving the final nail in the coffin of a once-great people.
And by that I mean it’s going to cause civil war, and a genocide attempt. This is the kind of shit that happens in countries whose people turn against each other – go read about the collapse of Yugoslavia in the late 20th century, and the Rwandan genocide, and the path the U.S. has been following is very, very similar to the one those countries went down.
I am gravely, gravely worried that because of this ruling, and the one banning abortion, and especially the other one banning forgiveness of student loan debt, that that’s going to put Americans in a position so catastrophic they’ll have no choice but to fight each other not just to survive, but to be allowed to exist on the soil they were born on. It’s like watching the Serbs pick on the Bosnians all over again, the Hutus getting riled up by their radio media to annihilate the Tutsis.
Many red states are passing constitutional carry laws and I beg everyone of the LGBTQ+ affiliation, and everyone else on the left really, to avail yourselves of that. Forget about stupid fucking gun control, this is not the time or the place for that; those motherfuckers WILL come for you and if you care about yourself and your families, then you’ll heed my warning and prepare now.
Actually this is not true! The Civil Rights Act of 1964 did indeed force private businesses to act to end segregation:
The act outlawed segregation in businesses such as theaters, restaurants, and hotels. It banned discriminatory practices in employment and ended segregation in public places such as swimming pools, libraries, and public schools.
So yes, the government can and does literally force businesses to provide equal access to their services.
Of course, this doesn’t apply to websites because the Supreme Court appears to approve of some kinds of discrimination, but not others.
That was the my initial point. The Supreme Court is fine with discrimination against LGBTQ people. But you had better believe that if someone actually discriminated against white people or Christians, they would come down against it like a ton of bricks. Because this is not motivated by an ideological belief in the first amendment, but a conservative desire to roll back rights and access for minorities they dislike.
Would it surprise you to know that literally that exact same argument was used against Black people to resist integration, and indeed, the same Civil Rights Act of 1964 I linked? That it wasn’t because the person was Black, but because the business owner had a religious belief that was incompatible with service? That they shouldn’t be compelled to provide a service they disagreed with? It is as spurious then as it was now.
The reason your example is bad is because membership in the KKK is not a protected class, not because businesses are not required to provide equal access. Businesses are in fact barred from discriminating against protected classes and must provide them equal access (in general). Except, of course, if the Supreme Court likes the protected class in question less than they do the “free speech” of another class.
So, yes indeed, the government can and does force people to do what they want.
They will make an exception if you’re a Christian apparently, however.
Reread what I just wrote. “The developer just declined creating something that they don’t agree with” is literally exactly the same justification people used to resist integration and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It was discrimination then and it is discrimination now. There is no difference between your two examples except in your own mind. Certainly there is no difference before the law. (Except if the creator of the cupcake is Christian, apparently.)
A) They need 50 senators willing to entertain that notion. They only have 49. B) If there were one action that I think would be most likely to kick off Civil War 2, it would be packing the court.
It's not the kids, not the lurkers, not the mods... y'all just nice people. Lemmy's got a good vibe going... or at least enough windows that we can close if the vibe gets shit.
My guess is that people realize that you won’t be persecuted for being civil, and we want to maintain a positive vibe. Lots of us reddit refugees didn’t realize just how toxic reddit had gotten, and Lemmy is a breath of fresh air.
Not for any particular reason, but for a variety of reasons that work together to make it even better. I have listed just a few of them. Feel free to add to the list as you see fit.
No king of the hill.
No hidden corporate interests.
No karma system.
Rejection of toxicity. The flow of conversation is civil and has a good vibe.
The Federation functions as an engine of accountability.
A bunch of people who actively contribute to making this a good place.
A vocal community that actually determines what content is important.
The initial difficulty to make sense of it all (call it a "barrier to entry" if you will) acts as a natural deterrent to those who are less engaged.
Lurkers who sign up quickly feel comfortable posting.
The ability to sign up for a particular instance and leave if for some reason you find it's going in a direction you do not agree with. Lemmy's decentralized nature saves the day.
The influx of refugees includes experienced people with a lot of knowledge to make this an even better place.
The prospect of a quick release of reputable third-party apps. Since these developers bring solid knowledge from previous developments, their new Lemmy apps will immediately translate into a smoother user experience.
Ten years ago it was “unfortunately we have to infringe on your civil rights due to terrorism.” That excuse has since been overused and isn’t as blindly accepted anymore, so clever politicians and their bourgeoisie patrons have moved on to “unfortunately we have to infringe on your civil rights to save the children.” It’s the same excuse behind the EU wide proposal to effectively neuter encryption in communications services, and it’s absolutely bullshit. Law enforcement agencies already have the capability to investigate and stop the vast majority of child sexual exploitation, but they don’t get the resources required nor the priority. A healthy society would likely take care of whatever would slip through the cracks. Breaking encryption or free access of information does absolutely nothing to stop this behaviour, and in some ways would put children in an even more dangerous position.
Tldr: this is about controlling the plebs, not about protecting children.
A story on a local organization reaching out to help the unhoused in my current area. The director of the organization is quoted using the term “unhoused”, but the reporter (or their editor) decided to use the more charged term “homeless” in the by-line and the article.
Oh, I'm in Vietnam. I've been here about a decade. It's true that the 'slums' here are quite nice, I live in one of them. It's safe and pleasant, if a bit crowded. 80% unemployment is about right for my area, but mostly people don't seem to feel the need to work -- too much trouble for too little money. I mean, they're going to get priced out of their own homes in a generation or two, but I admit that they lead happy lives!
Unofficial dwellings are common, but usually take the form of an unregistered dwelling, on land legally owned by the residents. This lets them informally subdivide plots as families grow.
Most families seem to own the home they live in. I don't know all the details, but it is sort of de jure impossible to be homeless here. I think all families were allocated a piece of land at some point -- I don't know the exact mechanism (since I immigrated here long after that was sorted out). Then you are registered in the 'house book' for that land, and have some claim to it. I've never met anyone whose family doesn't have at least one piece of land they can live on, even if it's far away.
In practice, someone could have sold their plot, it could not be a good enough piece to live on, it could be far from an economic center, too many floods, and so on. There are de facto a few homeless people.
If your land is out in the countryside? There are some good things about that, too. Not many economic opportunities, but you're also not going to starve. It's not like Canada where you need a ton of civilization just to survive. Want food? Walk to the nearest fruit tree or go fishing for an hour. Some of my colleagues in tech are tempted to just give up and go back to their hometown instead of doing this ridiculous hustle.
Now that I read your username that should have been obvious, haha.
That was sort of a sketch of the underlying logic, but I’m sure the actual manifestation varies tremendously.

Interesting! That sounds like how communists would go about it, and also how it would break a bit.

Oof ouch my supply chains. It’s a bit of a tangent, but I honestly worry about that a lot. The old timers tell stories of surviving most of the year on a basement full of home-made preserves and domestic flour, so I’ve taught myself to do canning and cook with canned stuff a lot.

I can’t say they were always as civil as they might be. Even in the late 80s with laserprint copies in vogue, there were folks who thought shouting everything in AllCaps was the way to get their message across.
