Hello. I’ve been silenced, removed and blocked enough on lemmy dot ml for being a filthy leftist but not a falling in line defending totalitarian states full blown authoritarian communist. Sooo I’m blocking everything from lemmy dot ml so I don’t have to be bothered with any more of that nonsense. If you are on lemmy dot ml and commenting on me I will not see it. Ta ta.

  • Back 25 years ago the company I worked for was looking into changing the computers for thin clients, then powered by JAVA, aaand of course dynamic workplaces that gets reinvented every seven years or so.

    In the end they decided not to because people wanted to feel that they had their desk with their computer and not a floating office limbo as daily reminder that they are replaceable labour.

    But most of all, their stationary computer had a CD ROM so they could listen to their own music while working and the thin clients couldn’t even customise your wallpaper.





  • Can a reasonable person believe regardless of evidence in ghosts, in deities and gods, in folklore, in aliens, in superstition, in the importance of themselves, in their culture or nation, in their position in society and their gender roles, in mums cooking being better, in bad luck treating them unfairly, in the importance of their habits and rituals, in sticking to how they’ve always done it, in any number of irrational things that they hold close to heart?

    I’d say apparently they can. People are not logic processors. People are people.









  • This was in the nineties in Sweden. We had a small infestation of loser nazi skins, as was common at the time. They were loud and violent. The most loud and most violent was an adopted black guy. The rest of the nazi skins tolerated him in the group because of said qualities. Or maybe because he’d beat the shit out of them if they did not.

    And before skinhead apologists enter the chat, yeah there are not neo nazi skins in the world. However in Sweden at the time it was their main attribute and main reason for shaving the head and wearing the uniform, despite a few outliers that hung around indiscriminately with the nazi ones anyway.
