I could be weird for this but the starting over part actually contributed to me continuing to use linux tbh. Trying out a new distro, figuring out how to use it, and building a new user interface each time I killed my system kept me engaged with linux beyond its utility. It functioned essentially as a way to learn about computers and as a creative outlet. I don’t fuck around and find out as much as I used to but I still swap distro every year or so.

Closest I got to a hobby is reading a shit ton of books. Highly recommend listening to an audiobook while you read a physical copy, cannot stress enough how much this helps me focus.

Capitalism is an ouroborus

Congrats 🎉🎉

Ancient “science” is kinda like this sometimes tbh

They never loved me and I’ll be ok without them

The motives behind the actions of these groups are vastly different though. A corporation silencing anti-establishment speech is not equivalent to lemmy moderators abusing authority in their micro-feifdoms. Still frustrating of course but the reasons and effects are quite different

Aesthetic mainly. The are both manifestations of the same decay of capitalism.

You can’t even brew beer? No distillation needed there

I brew alcohol and grow mushrooms(gourmet and non-gourmet)

I would not trust my government to tackle fraud/corruption no matter what they said

Is this the new industrial sabotage?

It seems like it is an image aimed towards women, for which the opinion of men has historically been over emphasized, making it relevant. I don’t see it as sexist

The sig rune (or Siegrune) symbolised victory (Sieg). The names of the ᛋ-rune (on which the Siegrune was based) translate as “sun”, however, von List reinterpreted it as a victory sign when he compiled his list of “Armanen runes”.

It was adapted into the emblem of the SS in 1933 by Walter Heck, an SS-Sturmhauptführer who worked as a graphic designer for Ferdinand Hoffstatter, a producer of emblems and insignia in Bonn. Heck’s device consisted of two sig runes drawn side by side like lightning bolts, and was soon adopted by all branches of the SS – though Heck himself received only a token payment of 2.5 Reichsmarks for his work. The device had a double meaning; as well as standing for the initials of the SS, it could be read as a rallying cry of “Victory, Victory!”. The symbol became so ubiquitous that it was frequently typeset using runes rather than letters; during the Nazi period, an extra key was added to German typewriters to enable them to type the double-sig logo with a single keystroke

Blatantly ripped from wikipedia

This propaganda poster was made by a nazi sympathizer

Here is an article about it

How is this sexist?
