Catbox (linked by the other commenter) seems to work for short little video snippets too.

But. Noted on the youtube thing.

That worked, thanks.

I ask friends who are more intelligent than me

And if they don’t know I assume it is forbidden knowledge that would drive me mad to know

(I am only half joking)

And now you know why I just said “ok neolib”.

A cheap, flea-ridden (m)hotel, usually.

More generally “cheap housing inhabited by people who are down on their luck”

Doesn’t feel like I’m constantly being sold shit while I’m here

The corporate web feels like a shopping mall, the indie web feels like a flophouse.

Ok neolib.

Trash.

I think saying Tankies aren’t Communists is a bit like saying Sword Art Online isn’t an anime.

Just because they suck doesn’t remove them from the category. In fact acknowledging the sucky parts of a <thing> is part of being grown up about that thing.

Communists (internet troll-ish)

As opposed to Communists (just-- communists) from lemmy.ml and Communists (Spicy Communists) from lemmygrad.ml

The main draw of Mastodon for me (and why I didn’t stick with the *key servers) is following hashtags. Really eases post discovery in an algorithm free world.

Otherwise the misskey forks have all manner of neat features to make using them a delight.

Clairvoyance and kids shouldn’t mix

There’s that whole “children of Dune” book that tells us why.

The thing is

“The law says it has to happen” doesn’t mean it happens.

And the weaker labour protections are in your country, the more bosses can walk all over their employees.

In the US, with their so-called “at-will” employment system, you can be fired at any time for any reason, and if you need the job to like, live, you won’t even bring up your legal rights.

Mind you even on countries where polling happens exclusively on Sunday (like mine!) there are other subtle ways The Poors ^tm are kept from enfranchisement. “Voting happens on a work day” is just one of the ways it happens in one of our world’s oligarchies.

It really depends on how much you need that job to like

Not be homeless

And how hard it was to get the job in the first place.

You can make your legal rights count if you have options.

If you don’t, you let your boss walk all over you and thank them for it.

Because they don’t want the workers voting.

If you “can’t go to the ballot because you need to work” you are a plebeian, and so they have a way of excluding you while technically not excluding you.

A lot of modern oligarchy is powered by these technicalities. Technically everyone has a “right to” participate in the system, but the whole apparatus is rigged in such a way that in material reality only the same nobility caste that has called the shots since the bronze fucking age gets to call the shots.

I feel like Microsoft fully intends to remove the TPM 2.0 requirement in the nearish future

Otherwise it wouldn’t be so easy to disable when writing an iso to a USB drive.

Looking at it from a capitalistic point of view, they gain nothing by keeping people from installing their OS on the long term, the lock out was just for the short-term gains they got out of OEMs selling new computers for Windows 11 and such.
