I was riffing on the original and translated titles of foucault’s most well known work. whether it was sarcasm or not; 🤷‍♀️

okay but consider that you don’t have as much surveilance of your employees, and without that, how are you supposed to discipline them?

…cluttered? the fuck?

has this fucker seen a cubicle? why did she allow it?

what cities should be VS what cities are.

uh, no, ocean hag. wearing mostly seaweed and lace.

yep. I know if it wasn’t unusable trash I might not have come over to lemmy.

in general. plenty of reasons you might be here, could just be reddit got unusable.

lemmy isn’t too evil. on purpose. mostly.

certainly less vile than facebook. “no political system is perfect so im’a just exterminate the jews and revere the fuhrer” is not a good look

and if that sounds like hyperbole, remember how many of your young-male and elderly relatives were radicalized by that social media platform, which has been critical or complicit in multiple genocides, finished and ongoing.

yeah but those are mostly gone or otherwise unusable now, one way or the other. that’s kind of the problem.

edit: I wish I could help. there are reddit communities I miss too, but reddit killed them, and they haven’t popped back up anywhere.

we absolutely should. facebook is fucking evil, and getting everything to move off it, damaging the network effect, is important for creating a more free and open information ecosystem.

I don’t, but I do use some of the space for backups.

not just murder, but the murder of specifically their own loved ones, someone having a disney+ (or any) subscription is basically an announcement that they’re a fucking psychopath, or otherwise have nobody they love.

no, no they’re far worse, and im aware that nobody gives the english quite the bastard credit they deserved.

its not that they don’t understand words, it’s that words aren’t communication for them. it’s just checksums. confirming group membership and synchronization. affirming their (percieved) position.

okay but I have less than 100TB on my systems, and most of that is backups.

when a character starts being an abolitionist about literal slavery, it becomes a running joke. the goblins are antisemitic stereotypes, up to and including being bankers, and all the characters who aren’t white are named in ways that would have been considered ‘kinda racist’ a century earlier.

okay but what do we do about backing up the massive library of content that only exists on youtube? how do we back that shit up, so when they break those, it is’t all lost forever?

okay I was using a specific example of an unnecessary app I used in the past week. never used the cemetary app, never had to deal with trying to when im outside of network range. still pretty sure it could be a website.

fuck your second thought; live on the edge. stare into the abyss.

you’re saying we should give kids cigarettes? or something like cigarettes? maybe kids don’t need to be addicted to things?

if you really need to keep this metaphor going, linux is, like, meditation or cognitive behavioral therapy or having friends, because its generally good for you, and doesn’t lock you into a bullshit proprietary ecosystem like tobacco or macs do.

see, the thing about lucerne milk is, if im making a milkshake, and I run out of lucerne milk but have an unopened bag of canadian milk, I can pour in the weird-ass canadian milk (spilling half of it because what kind of freaks put milk in a bag?) and it will work and be fine. because its just a company selling milk. all the milk is just milk. milk, in fact, is interoperable, and open if not free. hell, I can make milk if I really desperately want to.

if I have an apple product, and want to make it work with a non-apple-approved product, im going to have to fight their engineers at every step. fuck, getting them to start using FUCKING TCP/IP was like pulling teeth.
