I mean it was understandable— everyone praises the five good emperors for choosing successors but none of them actually had biological kids, and there was no precedent that the successor would be chosen. Realistically, Aurelius wanted to avoid a civil war and wasn’t like entirely throwing, I think I saw like a story about how he like. Didn’t want to do it but it was like the only good outcome or optimal at least

Android@lemdro.id•First time I hear about the Boox Palma, a phone-sized E-reader with Android and the Play Store, does anyone have it?English
1·2 years agoI have the Palma. I use it mostly just to read, and I prefer it to when I had a kindle purely for portability.

Memes@lemmy.ml•We should be allowed to do it because "insert dictator here" did it isn't the great argument you think it is
13·2 years agoI’d disagree because as an American the US government has a lot more impact on me than the Chinese
…so maybe vote for the guy who can be controlled by protests, and not the guy who wouldn’t care about not-his-base protesting?
Votes are earned not deserved.
…no. in our pretty bad first past the post system, we shouldn’t vote for a good candidate. We should vote for the best, or least bad one.
Less voter turnout wouldn’t influence the system at all, and even if it did, there are not enough people with your views— your 80% figures— to pull something like that off. Maybe wait.
Because right now, yes both possible candidates won’t stop the major genocide going on, but one would actively do less harm to queer people, women, etc.
Voting is for harm minimization, not endorsement.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•When Hexbear finds out Nazi stands for National Socialism
285·2 years agoHexbeara are definitely wrong about things… But I have never seen them do anti-Semitism. And the Nazis really can’t be considered socialist— you can disapprove of socialism without lying or being misinformed and claiming that the Nazis were socialist—Hitler essentially joined and took over what maybe at some point was a pro worker party. They killed like a lot of communists.
Chromos will definitely be big, but its limitations mean that it won’t definitely not be able to just take it over.
And given that it relies on Linux apps to run non Android or web apps, AKA desktop apps, I’m quite happy if it grows—Linux development becomes encouraged.

Technology@lemmy.world•Roku has patented a way to show ads over anything you plug into your TVEnglish
132·2 years agoThis is like really horrific but if I’m being honest, it’s not going to happen. I think LG did a patent where you had to shout the brand being displayed on ads to skip an ad— and they never did that. This is probably a good thing so that other companies can’t use it for a few hundred years
Bro really replied with a reference to the original joke
Ublock doesn’t fully work but there are extensions to block ads on Photopea.
What client is that?




Sure!
