to piss both audiences here:

Emacs in graphical mode

Is 16 GB still in the market? I mostly find 32 or 64 GB for usb-stick.

8GB is pretty much dead nowadays (and so is CD/DVD)

(Honorable mention: RIP Floppy Disk )

WHAT DID YOU SAY???

Remember that writing is also for processing (emotionally) the shit that is going on.

I know it is your work and you do with it what you want.

Even then I want to suggest just to write your voice against what is happening today in whatever way you want.

It may be in the style you imagined or you may just shelve this particular style for a while.

But writers are always needed to shout the voice of those who “can’t do so by themselves”

This is the kind of “I want my worldview reassured so I will ignore the context” behaviour that I see a lot on the right. The more I am on Lemmy, the more I see this same aporach.

Warning for everyone else: This “both sides” thing is a typical tactic used by alt-right (and even fascists)to muddy the water, making us questioning if we should punch up or down.

Yes, there are some cases where “both sides” talk may make sense.

But what determines if it makes sense or not is the following question:

“Is the criticism against punching up or is it a criticism against punching down?”

“Punching up” means punching the privileged elites (example: talking bad of shareholders for making our lives worse)

Punching down is what this comment is doing, which is making excuses for harmful behavior against a minority (Remember that human’s right are a right for any and every person)

So, remember, just like with comedy, NEVER punch down (never make the oppressed lives worser)

Do Punch Up! (Make the oppressors lose their grip)

An important addition is that saying “we are animals” isn’t supposed to cut what we judge to be morally right or wrong.

If anything, “We are animals” must be used to know that other animals may probably have similar introspection as us and we are unaware, thinking o ourselves as special kind of creature when it is far from being true.

If, let’s say hypothetically, a cow do have not only feelings but also moral thought, thinking of a sacred "cow god/goddess) and having moral argument with fellow cows, then it just makes butchering them even more of a “crime” that it is already.

First and foremost: You are correct.

Now allow me to try to be funny: Well… Apartments are just pretty square-ish caves.
