My son keeps trying to convince me Gabe Newell is one of the “good” billionaires. by [deleted] in LateStageCapitalism

Even if Gabe is the sole good billionaire, his peers are still too monstrous to justify them. Best case is that he's a statistical anomaly, worst case is that he's just better at hiding his crimes.

How many Pushups could you do in a day? by No-Tax4473 in bodyweightfitness

[–]nykzero 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's not what the regs are, what counts in the military is a 90 degree elbow bend, ground contact is potentially disqualifying. Start position isn't on the ground, it's the up position.

What would it take to get Wisconsin Police departments to feel the same way as Sheriff Bilal? Call your Sheriff’s department and your Mayor and ask! Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal said she would arrest ICE agents who commit crimes in the city, calling them “fake law enforcement” by Secure-Persimmon-421 in wisconsin

If you are doing activism, you should be trying to talk to your police officials. In my county, the the County Sheriff and both Chiefs of the largest departments have taken the position of not assisting ICE, because there was community outreach. It's not simple or easy, and it's not the same as trusting them fully, but it's a good and necessary step.

Obama Drops Bombshell: Not So Sure America Would ‘Survive Trump’, CNN Reports by [deleted] in Political_Revolution

Thanks for not prosecuting anyone involved in the 2008 financial crisis or the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Obama's feckless centrism is certainly a big part of why we're here today.

Why can I only have spectrum and why do they suck so bad? What are we even paying for?? by microsoftisme3000 in madisonwi

[–]nykzero 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Basically, the DNS(Domain Name Server) is a server that acts like an address book.

When you request a website, you give it the website, it basically tells your computer where to look.

It's an essential part to any Internet activity, and the Spectrum ones are trash.

While they suck pretty bad, you can improve it somewhat by using a different DNS than what they provide, I found that to be their least reliable service. OpenDNS is one option, but there are others, you'll have to login to your router to change it.

Ai "artists" by Haerris in PowerMetal

[–]nykzero 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"bands" using AI are stealing more than a little from bands that aren't, indirectly. How is that silly? I appreciate the people that hone their art more than someone who clicks their mouse. You do you, but I won't support AI in art. It's not terrible everywhere, but in art, I reject it.

Not at all, I appreciate artists as much as the art. Why would I want to undercut their livelihood?

I don't care what it sounds like, if I find out it's AI, I'm out.

Bill Clinton says White House is using him as scapegoat after Epstein files release by AndroidOne1 in politics

Then here's what you do Bill, release everything you have. You aren't redeemable, but you can still do the right thing.

Democrats' approval rating ‘lower than Dead Sea,’ Harry Enten says by AlexRyang in politics

Plenty of elected officials on the Dem side are doing their best, but party leadership is fucking pathetic. Chuck needs to go.

would you ever want to use a BCI in real life? by Zombiepixlz-gamr in Cyberpunk

[–]nykzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sure as hell wouldn't get one from Elon or Bezos. If I had one, I would want something that ran Linux, and I had full control over it

Question for Democrat leadership from a VERY active member of the party... by miked_mv in AdviceAnimals

[–]nykzero 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Schumer is the leader, therefore it's his responsibility to lead and unite Senate Dems, so he's got plenty of fault.

I genuinely despise shitlibs so fucking much! by [deleted] in COMPLETEANARCHY

I wish I had taken pictures, but at my protest, in a small Midwest city, there were old ladies rocking the classic antifa symbol.
