I literally just woke up and opened Lemmy to see this. As a lemm.ee user this is sad news but I respect the decision of all those involved as they navigate this

Will try this out and see if it helps. Thank you!

Had a hunch that my old HDD’s were at least partially related to the issue. Thanks for the explanation! 😃 Looks like SSD’s and more RAM are the way to go!

The Roman salute excuse that many of his supporters promoted irks me because of how dishonest it is from the get go. There’s not a single Roman work of art that depicts the salute and it actually originated fairly recently under Mussolini’s National Fascist Party.

This is coming from the same administration that thought transgenic mice were transgender mice. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he actually comes out with something like this.

Ignoring the fact that he did what was probably the most vigorous Nazi salute in existence…

• He agreed with a post on Twitter that promoted the antisemetic conspiracy theory that Jewish people “push hatred” against white people
• He doubled down on the great replacement conspiracy theory
• He supports the AfD party which has not-so-subtle Nazi themes in official posters
• He actively created a safe space for Neo Nazis on his platform
• He threatened to sue researchers documenting the rise in hateful tweets
• After the inauguration “gesture”, instead of apologizing he made Nazi-related puns
• He shared a post absolving Hitler of murdering millions of people

It’s not just not outrageous to call him a Nazi, it’s a perfectly normal and reasonable thing to conclude especially when you consider his other behaviour and the kinds of things he supports

So happy to see my beloved Paint Tool Sai on here! 😃 Really good list. Didn’t know there were so many alternatives

Yes. I’m very good at recognizing faces, even if I haven’t seen that person for years and they’ve got a completely different hairstyle.

Same! Lemmy is one of my favourite places on the internet and it’s comfy to me. I’m also excited to watch it grow and become more popular! 😃

Thank you! 😃

I feel the same way. I’ve seen the argument that it’s analogous to violence in videogames, but it’s pretty disingenuous since people typically play videogames to have fun and for escapism, whereas with CSAM the person seeking it out is doing so in bad faith. A more apt comparison would be people who go out of their way to hurt animals.

Geez, two million? Good riddance. Great job everyone!

Either is right for me and it entirely depends on whatever I’m vibing with at the time!

He’s proven that he does not care about court orders or rules of law, so I doubt he’d be against ripping up the constitution. Not an American so forgive me if I seem ignorant on this, but I hope that there’s failsafes against him getting a third term no matter what he does.

Actions do have consequences. Trying to erase posts and people calling you out for what you did and explaining why those actions are bad does not make those things that you did go away and is honestly a bad look. If you don’t want people on social media calling you a Nazi, there’s a really easy solution for that - don’t do Nazi salutes on live TV, don’t make Nazi puns instead of apologizing, and don’t keep regurgitating anti-semetic conspiracy theories like the “great replacement” conspiracy theory.

The claim that the salute has its origins in ancient Rome is dubious at best and ignores the fact that the salute is immediately associated with Nazism. Not a single Roman work of art depicts the salute. Don’t you think that’s a little fishy? There is evidence that it actually originated from the National Fascist Party, under Mussolini. Suffice to say there’s no good evidence that it originated from ancient Rome as opposed to it being a relatively new thing starting from the turn of the 20th century and originating in fascism.

Hitler also did it. The only difference was that Elon Musk did so with more vigour. If he didn’t mean to make a Nazi salute, why did he respond with Nazi puns rather than apologizing?

Thank you! ❤️

Feeling really good! 😃 I’m aiming to get my passport so I can travel the world. The destinations on the top of my list are all on different continents. I’ve already got so many plans laid out and I’ve been spending the past week or so mentally prepping myself by watching videos about airports. I haven’t flown in a while and they’re gonna be long haul flights!
