So I got permabanned from one subreddit for posting a comment in another subreddit
  • The mental hoops you jump through to confirm your bias...

  • So I got permabanned from one subreddit for posting a comment in another subreddit
  • I've noticed that a lot of people online are becoming very unhinged. They are looking for fights, placing people on their enemies list if they have the wrong opinion, and just stay online arguing for hours. I don't know if these are real people, bots from nation states, people arguing with bots, or bots arguing with bots.

  • No, saying I'm neither side means exactly that. I don't know why you're trying to make enemies.

  • Listen, this topic isn't about right wing this or let wing that. If you want to argue with someone online then look for ChatGPT to keep you company because I'm not the one. I don't know why you want to come to this post just to start shit but you may need to take a break from the internet. Also, I'm not a conservative, I just listen to what they say to understand their position instead of letting the media tell me how to think.

  • Young Black and Latino men say they chose Trump because of the economy and jobs.
  • Now, just for funsies, what is the percentage of Black men who chose not to vote, and by acclimation, and I use that word charitably, didn’t vote for Harris thereby giving their missing Harris vote to Trump?

    How exactly do you give a missing vote to Trump? If they didn't vote then neither candidate got that vote.

  • Yeah Lemmy seems pretty left-wing but at least you can host your own instance if you're right-wing. I'm on neither side but I try to listen to both. Forcing silence and compliance will only backfire because it's in human nature to resist.

  • We are in the era of the Dead Internet Theory. There's no point to being online just to fight bots. I've banned these accounts but I'm only on Reddit for the communities that aren't on Lemmy.

    Thanks for the list.

  • After the whole API and third-party app ban I was already leaving Reddit. I only comment once a week at most but I stuck around for the fringe subreddits like r/selfhosted. I am done with this corporate social media. It's all trash, AI, and bots.

    I miss the good ol' days when the internet was young. Would spend time on the IGN forums, find random Geocities sites, catch a seizure on someone's MySpace page, or waste an afternoon finding random things using StumbleUpon.

    Well now this is trashy. I got permabanned from r/interstingasfuck for posting a comment in r/MensRights that was an attempt to correct some misinformation. I've never made a post in either subreddit and that was the only comment I've ever made in the MensRights subreddit. But r/interstingasfuck's bot decided to permaban me even though I've not broken any rules.

    The ban

    The single comment I've ever made on r/MensRights

    Also I tried to make a post on r/MensRights (would have been my first post there) on me getting banned for making a comment and the mods there blocked it. You would think they'd love the chance to show they are victims of discrimination and censorship.

    Man Reddit is trash.

    Conservative editor backtracks after seeming to use n word regarding Haitian migrants
  • Your headphones suck because he definitely lead with the "n" and not the "m". I know the difference in sound between n and m and it was an n. In fact around the 0:35 mark he said, "complaining about Haitian nigge-mngr-migrants". I don't know how to spell him correcting himself.

    This reminds me of the times the cops shot and killed other hostages like that delivery driver (UPS or Fedex, can't remember) or that girl who was kidnapped, ordered to run towards the cops, and the cops shot her for running towards them.

    Perfect Dark Controls

    Ok so how the hell am I supposed to play this game with a regular Switch controller? After decades of using dual analog sticks and getting accustomed to a certain layout I am lost on how to navigate my favorite shooter. Why can't I map look and turn to the right joystick and move and strafe to the left? Why Nintendo?! Am I forced to pay $50 for the N64 controller?

    I should just continue to emulate on the Steam Deck. At least I can control it.

    How do you test visual programing languages?

    So how do you guys test visual programming languages? These languages include Labview, Simulink, Snaplogic, Slang, etc. I ask because I'm working on improving the testing suite we use at my job for Snaplogic. The way we currently lest is we have a suite of pipelines that have certain snaps and we just run those pipelines and look for errors in a testing environment every release.

    What I'm really trying to figure out is how to run Functional Tests (unit, integration, system) and Non-Functional Tests (security, performance). In a language such as Python this can be straight forward but in a visual language or a service offered by another company then it is a bit more difficult.

    I am thinking of creating a custom test suite using the modules used in our pipelines and using Python to generate JSON and SQL data. Does anyone do something similar?

    Beware of excessive holds at Love's Travel Stops

    So I had to travel across Ohio yesterday to pick someone up unexpectedly. The person I had to pick up was waiting at one of those Love's gas stations and I need to put some gas in the car to have enough to return home. I have a sedan and put in about $30 worth. I check my credit card online to plan how much I need to set aside to pay off my credit cards and they placed a $175 hold for that $30 purchase of fuel. This post is to warn everyone else about these holds. There is a class action lawsuit on this as well.

    Help Building a Stream Box

    So I don't know if this is the proper community to post this in but after the recent shenanigans that Roku has pulled I want to redo my entertainment setup and stream my media through a box I control. I have a couple of Odroid N2+ laying around and I'm trying to build a stream box out of them. First I tried CoreElec but Jellyfin didn't work out to well for me. Now I'm trying Android but some apps (cough* Curiosity Stream) are terrible.

    My question is what does the community use to stream their media? What I'm looking for is the ability to connect to Jellyfin servers, Nebula/Curiosity Stream/HiDive subscription service access, adblocked Youtube. Does anyone have a similar setup?
