Do we have a playbook for working with the existing system?
If I were to take the sentiment here on lemmy it would seem that we wouldn’t want to work with them at all.
I’m asking this in good faith.
Background: I am very leftist, card carrying DSA member, etc.
I remember being angry with Bernie for not immediately decrying the genocide in Gaza but it seems he’s completely flipped and is one of the few people in Congress speaking out against the US’s support for Israel.
I think it’s highly likely that he was influenced by fear of reprisal from AIPAC. He even mentions how AIPAC torpedoed two primaries for members of “the squad”.
Anyway, I like Bernie mostly. Is there still a genuine reason to throw him out like a baby with the bathwater?
I recently heard Obama talk about the “circular firing squad”, where perfect is the enemy of good and progressive forces tear each other down for the smallest ideological differences.
I’m hoping to hear from a few voices in lemmygrad and hexbear on their thoughts.
Edit:
Maybe I asked the wrong question. I hate Democrats, possibly more than I hate Republicans or Trump supporters. At least the Trump supporters I could write off as too ignorant, undereducated and manipulated to know better.
I joined the DSA, donated, did phone banking, went to events, and should be more involved but sometimes I can’t be.
What is the call to action? What can I do? If there were socialist candidates locally I would absolutely vote for them but at the presidential level I have no other option but to vote Democrat if we want to stand a chance at preserving democracy. For my own mental health I have to have some faith that there are some mainstream voices that have a prayer of a chance of pushing the Overton window to the left.
If this is just a thing where I must present two faces, one true one where I roast libs for being horrible and another fake one where I have to have a soft voice and try to gently move my lib friends towards sanity, then that makes sense too.
I just felt hopeful for the first time in years that the US could be slightly better than the dystopian shithole that it is.
Edit 2:
This is the forum for being true and telling it like it is. Even if I like some parts of Bernie that doesn’t mean that hating the rest of him isn’t true as well.
Holy fuck. Spot on. The fucking hand wringing about “Soviet block style” housing.
Some people in the comments didn’t take it as tongue-in-cheek as I did. 😝
I thought this was really funny. That’s a good collection of toe stubs.
There is a lot of stuff to learn to be good at python but I still love it.
I really like Bottles. I also tried Lutris for Battlenet which worked really well.
I don’t know all the differences between them though.
I love this.
With that number of cat toys it makes me think you really care about your kitty.
We spoil ours as well.
I would add Alertmanager to your stack if you haven’t already. It’s pretty tightly integrated with prometheus. There’s some canned alerting rules based on predicting disk space full in X number of days. We wire Alertmanager to Pagerduty.
Can’t believe I didn’t know this existed. Thanks!
I’m running Grafana Loki for my company now and I’ll never go back to anything else. Loki acts like grep, is blazing fast and low maintenance. If it sounds like magic it kind is.
I saw this post and genuinely thought one of my teammates wrote it.
I had to manage an ELK stack and it was a full time job when we were supposed to be focusing on other important SRE work.
Then we switched to Loki + Grafana and it’s been amazing. Loki is literally k8s wide grep by default but then has an amazing query language for filtering and transforming logs into tables or even doing Prometheus style queries on top of a log query which gives you a graph.
Managing Loki is super simple because it makes the trade off of not indexing anything other than the kubernetes labels, which are always going to be the same regardless of the app. And retention is just a breeze since all the data is stored in a bucket and not on the cluster.
Sorry for gushing about Loki but I genuinely was that rage wojak before we switched. I am so much happier now.
I’m so sick of my neoliberal friends/acquaintances trying to gaslight me every time I call out Biden/genocide. It’s fucking disturbing because these are well educated, good people. Nothing I say makes it click for them.
Roborock S8+ with the dock is awesome. It’s a straight upgrade from the last gen flagship Roomba.
Way better mapping and battery life.
One small blessing of them being so technically incompetent is that there is no DRM, so you can just use yt-dlp to download whatever show you want to keep. It’s just a small pain to do because you need to download your login cookie to pass to yt-dlp.
We could use this meme again 😂
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.
Cuff him officer! Take him to horny jail.
Obsidian is so so good.
I don’t even mind to pay for their sync service to support them. You can even encrypt your vault (notebook) with your own key.
This is some really fucked up, perverse gatekeeping on your part.
I don’t know what kind of magical internet credit you think I need to have to ask questions here.
I really hope that that kind of thinking is not representative here.
I actually liked your first comment but this makes me really fucking sad.
The absolutely most bizarre thing about this interaction is you over-reading into my comment about Trump supporters to claim that I’m parading as a self-superior acting liberal when you’re trying to shit-lord over me about socialism and that anyone is an idiot for being naive enough to vote.
