FreeCAD has become quite usable over the past couple of years, and it keeps getting better with every update. I know you maybe don’t get to choose which CAD program you use since you’re a student, but thought I’d put it out there. I’ve been really enjoying it so far.

Isn’t this just a standard political compass with different wording? Left = Equality, Right = Hierarchy, Authoritarian = Centralization, Libertarian = Decentralization

I think way too many people don’t know the actual definitions of Left and Right, so this version makes it more clear.

You might be thinking of a different instance. I’m not aware of any problems with dbzer0, and their admins have a good relationship with our admins.

Thanks for the detailed response. I’m glad that the health of the queer community is the first priority around here. :3

I’m also glad to hear that you’re friendly with the FAF admins. I’d personally love to see blahaj.zone join the FAF, but I wouldn’t want that to happen at the cost of alienating queer users who aren’t anarchists.

Here’s hoping that this whole thing blows over, and that lemmy.world becomes less tolerant of Zionism.

In that case, you are correct.

Nobody is exercising hierarchical authority in those situations. Prioritizing feeding yourself over feeding others is fine. Your backyard garden is your personal property.

In the real world, most food is grown at a large scale. Producing massive quantities of food and withholding it from your community would be considered a form of hierarchical authority. The means of production belong to all.

Here’s two examples of evil things that China is doing:
Persecution of Uyghurs in China
Internet censorship in China

The fact that they’re considering denying access to basic human necessities like food indicates that they aren’t anarchists. That would constitute a form of hierarchical authority, which is not permissable.

Unless of course they’re all anarcho-primitivists and don’t believe in large-scale agriculture, without which you couldn’t feed everyone. In that case, they’re just stupid :P

Been using Linux for about 8 years now. My DE of choice has pretty much always been XFCE. Here’s an overview of the distros I’ve daily driven.

Linux Mint -> Debian -> Arch -> NixOS -> Arch

I tried NixOS for about a year before switching back to Arch recently. There were just too many problems I couldn’t find a solution to, and I realized that the advantages of an immutable OS just aren’t that important to me.

Arch really is a dream to use, and the setup is pretty easy if you use the archinstall script. And most importantly, their wiki is amazing.

Also, the measures necessary to enforce it at large scale would probably be unethical.

I believe what you are referring to there is a state. States enforce laws at a large scale. All anarchists oppose the existence of states.

Er, and who would enforce this?

It is everyone’s responsibility to oppose hierarchical authority wherever it appears. There are probably hundreds of ways to do this, and some methods will work better than others depending on the situation. The rapid response networks in Minneapolis are a great example of this.

But I don’t believe that human society at large is capable of existing without violence.

Agreed. Anarchists don’t claim to be able to eliminate violence. That would be almost impossible.

Also, I will tell you that you don’t know what you yourself are capable of until you’ve gone more than three days without food…

I also agree with you here. This is part of the reason anarchists believe there would be less violence under anarchy. Withholding food from another person would not be allowed, as that would be a form of hierarchical authority. Food is withheld from millions of people in our current system simply because they cannot afford it.

In first-person games, FOV 100°. Much less than this and it feels impossible to see what’s going on, like I’m looking through binoculars.

For VR games, I always have to turn off the “comfort settings” (vignette, snap turn, etc). They’re super jarring, and make me feel sick almost immediately.

What is the :70 a reference to?

Under capitalism, capital will always accumulate into the hands of the shareholders. Those with the capital will always find a way to influence politicians into deregulating, no matter how many anti-corruption measures you put in place. We’ve seen this happen over and over for as long as capitalism has existed.

We need a fundamental change in the system that prevents capital from accumulating. That change would be socialism, where the workers collectively own the means of production, rather than it being owned privately by the shareholders.
