  • That article is needlessly dismissive of the 88 dog whistle, refusing to explore the idea of “plausible deniability” at all, and it completely ignores the other right-wing dog whistles he engaged with on Reddit threads, like “triggered” (which he claimed he didn’t know was right-wing, but at best his use of it shows that he is hanging out in right-wing spaces enough to have learnt through osmosis what the correct right-winger’s way to use that term is). I’ll repeat a comment I left in a Lemmy thread back when this was fresh:

    I thought this comment (and the thread below it…and the lack of any reply to it despite the CEO being all over the thread elsewhere) was pretty telling.

    It’s much less of a strong tell, but is slightly concerning that he’s picked up language like “triggered”. As comments there say, his excuse of not being in-tune with American politics could be real, but are also possibly just plausible deniability, because he may have picked up on that language by hanging out online with fascists.





  • I would love to containerise it. I worked with Docker in a previous job, but honestly I’ve forgotten most of how to work with it. Would be a nice refresher to try and relearn how to create Dockerfiles and docker-compose.yamls.

    Unfortunately I currently have two problems. First: I seem to be completely unable to test this on my desktop. When I open Docker on my PC, it complains that I need to run wsl --shutdown, but despite doing that many times, it still complains, before immediately closing.

    So I was going to try doing it entirely on the Synology. And then I ran into the issue that…I have no idea how to even start with that. When I search for Docker in the Package Manager the only thing that comes up is Synology’s own container manager, and I have no idea how to work with that.








  • had the DNC listenned to anti-Genocide voters, Trump would’ve lost, IMHO

    fwiw I find this argument very hard to square with the actual voting records. In 4 of the 7 swing states people were focused on, Harris actually received more votes than Biden. And even in those last 3, Trump’s vote against Harris increased by a larger amount than Harris’s vote, compared to Biden. The myth that people sat it out or voted third party because of Biden/Harris’s pro-genocide stance (and to be clear: it was a pro-genocide stance—anyone who questions that is not worth listening to) is a convenient story that allows the left and liberals an excuse to keep yelling at each other, but it doesn’t look believable with the data.
