Telegram Reportedly "Ready to Fight Piracy" According to Govt. Official * TorrentFreak
  • I never said I don't mind them, and I also never said I'd join them. I'm just suggesting we keep the conversation going and settle things with words rather than violence. It's difficult to have a conversation when you are unable to understand a point someone is making. Not saying you should agree at all. It's fair to have a difference of opinion. But you just misrepresent what I'm saying, that doesn't really lead to an interesting conversation in my opinion, so I'm out.

  • You literally talk in your other reply about how you’ll join them

    you did actually tell me in your comment that you don’t really mind nazis as long as they’re not being violent towards you.

    This is becoming quite bizarre. Reading back my comments I don't even know which line you are misinterpreting cause I don't think I've said anything that even comes close to your accusations. Of course I'm not advocating to join nazi's. I think you'd be better of sticking to what people actually say, or else every online conversation is going to derail as much as this one apparently already did.

  • Also, punching Nazis is always morally correct.

    I know the idea behind the paradox of tolerance, I'm just saying that at the very least, it's not as simple as that. There are definitely grey areas, and IT IS complicated. You really miss the bigger picture if you say it's always ok to punch a nazi. I'd advise you to read up on the Spanish civil war, how that spun out of control, violence from both sides leading to more violence. You shouldn't just look at the act of punching a Nazi no it's own, you should take a helicopter view and see that a punch, will lead to counter punches, which will lead to potentially full blown civil war. You shouldn't pride yourself in taking a firm stance if doing so is ultimately counterproductive. So what's the alternative? The alternative is sitting down, having a talk, drinking some tea and talking about our differences. And simultaneously trying to take away the breeding ground for fascism, for instance an upper class that's treating society as their farm animals, getting all the riches, while looking down on them from their high horses. Punching these people and limiting their freedoms is putting oil on the fire.

  • It's with polarization that things spin out of control. When the left thinks the right are nazi's and the right think the left are commies, that's when people become less critical of themselves and hatred spirals into a civil war, and the one that's on top will do anything to prevent the 'enemy' taking over. Tolerating verbal intolerance is a good thing. That's why your own statement is tolerated, it's literally advocating intolerance (be it indirectly in favor of tolerance). I really don't believe your statement is correct. Tolerance leads to tolerance. Intolerance leads to more intolerance. Not tolerating intolerance doesn't make it disappear, it just makes people feel more strongly about it. When I cant think something or people look down on me for it, I am definitely gonna think it some more. Actual violence should of course not be tolerated. Ergo: is it ok to punch a nazi? No ofcourse not... unless the civil war has started yet and all tolerance is gone, but let's not go there.....

  • Question: where to track podcasts? (and other tracking apps)

    I use:

    Besides logging your behavior these apps also help with recommendations based on other user behavior and reviews.

    My question is: is there a platform where I can do this but for podcasts? *

    And while we're on the subject: what other apps would you recommend with a similar purpose?

    (* I know both ListenBrainz and Last.fm can technically track podcasts, but I'd be more interested in a service dedicated to podcasts specifically.)

    We need another Bob Ross
  • Recently been to an exhibition by Robert Ryman in Musée l'orangerie in Paris, and it only contained paintings in white. And as strange as that might sound, it was quite interesting to see all the creativy that's possible within such restrictions. His work focused on all other aspects, such as the subtle differences in whiteness, the texture of the paint and the way it's displayed in it's surroundings. Wouldn't recommend it to everyone, but if you're interested in visual art then it's worth a visit. It makes you aware of elements that you could otherwise easily forget.

  • The straight pride flag looks gay AF
  • Isn't being proud of your sexuality mostly a response to being shamed by bigots for your sexuality? Like: parts of society look down on my sexuality? Well fuck you, I'm proud of it! If you're not being shamed at all, isn't a bit weird to be proud of such things? As if you did anything to become a heterosexual. No one cares, nor should they.

  • ListenBrainz passes 25k users!

    Allow me to spread the word about ListenBrainz. ListenBrainz is a FOSS project that aims to crowdsource listening data from digital music and release it under an open license. Basically it's Last.fm but better. Whatever you use to listen to music, you can probably link it up with ListenBrainz. All ListenBrainz listening data is available for all to use, commercially or not. Why should we give our listening data only to proprietary companies like Spotify and depend on them, when we can share it. If you've kept track of your what music you've listened to up to this point, don't worry, there are several ways to import them into ListenBrainz so you can keep an overview of all your music listening.

    I am not working for ListenBrainz in any way, I just really like this project, and I had not seen much on Lemmy about them, so I'm happy to spread the word.
