Since Lemmy.ml is still federated with Lemmygrad and Hexbear I see their posts and comments pretty regularly.

That's why I'm aggravated that I see people complaining about those groups but haven't seen the rhetoric their accused of. ๐Ÿ˜”

I genuinely want some links to examples. It would make me sad but I can accept if I'm wrong.

I joined Lemmy before the mass exodus, when the three major servers were Lemmy.ml, Beehaw, and Lemmygrad.

What do you mean by pointing that out?

I've seen more than my fair share of Lemmygrad posts and comments.

I stand by what I said.

I'm happy to look at any links to comments you dissaprove of.

It gets thrown around a lot by people who don't know the first thing about Marxism.

I'm a card carrying socialist so you think, with the communities I subscribe to, I would have seen some Tankies commenting, but I've yet to run across any Uygur genocide or Russian apologizing so far.

It really makes me mad when people accuse the maintainers of Lemmy of being Tankies when all I can find are very based essays they've written about socialist philosophy.

Edit: Just to be clear, I won't tolerate any Russia/China apologism. My account being from Leemy.ml means I still see content from the people most likely to be Tankies. I'm always willing to admit I am wrong if someone makes a compelling argument. I've just been silent on this topic since people started complaining and this is my first real push back. I don't want the Tankie slur applied to anyone who doesn't deserve it.

Thank you for saying this. โค๏ธ

I do not understand people apologizing for capitalism ever.

Man that Time's article seems so out of touch to me. I couldn't finish it.

It's just funny to see a 2013 take on millennials before I was even old enough to realize the shitty world we inherited from the Boomers.

I thought that quote satire. Nope it's real. JFC. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

I've used Ubuntu on many occasions but tried PopOS since last week.

It's surprisingly good. Lots of ergonomics over Ubuntu. They have a version of the iso prepackaged with Nividia drivers.

Most surprisingly, after some install busted my sound devices (they stopped showing up), I discovered PopOS has a system refresh button that saves your home directory but reinstalls the OS to a fresh state. Very convenient.

It means "I feel the same way you do and would have said it myself, so I acknowledge and applaud that you said it first".

Thoughtful take! Ditto.

I know I'm late to the party but I just wanted to find some people to share the excitement with.

My dad is a cabinetmaker. At 34 I can reflect on my life and I have never seen higher quality cabinets than his. Nothing comes close.

I remember he used to complain that people could get cabinets cheaper at Walmart so he lost more and more business.

I think with wage stagnation, people can't afford custom cabinetry anymore. So it seems insane to us to spend that amount. But you can imagine that with the price of lumber and the cost of skilled labor that 7000$ comes quickly.
