Bullies will get their way until someone stands up to them. It’s always been this way. All these politicians thinking there’s nuance to these situations forget that they’re dealing with a guy who doesn’t understand, or see any need for, nuance. He’s a bully doing whatever fancies himself. He’ll keep doing it until leaders start standing up to him. You can’t negotiate with bullies. Everything is a zero-sum-game to them. The only way you can “be clever” is to fool him into thinking he’s “won” something.

I don’t think he’s though that far ahead on this. And if he has, I doubt he cares.

So after reading, looks like Youngkin is radio silence so far. Chickenshit. Can’t wait for his spineless ass to go.

Meanwhile, his replacement has actually stepped up and said she would fight this.

… And Virginia? I mean I know Youngkin is a ghoul, but this started under his own admin! He’s happy to just light all that already spent money on fire?

Old school recommendation, but the O’reilly book “Network Warrior” is actually a good read. It walks through common networking technologies, explains why they’re needed and how they’re used. Provides an excellent foundation of knowledge.

I could, but the community is pretty good for the most part. I’ve only had the one issue with the mod, and I plan on starting a conversation post to try and have the community weigh in on what they think the rules should be going forward.

Sorry, was trying, and failing, to be clever. Was referring to Reddit.

I love the goal this port is trying to achieve, and I try not to be negative about content. But lately I’ve seen the kind of gate keeping that is souring people on that other site.

I’ve had 2 fairly recent examples of it. In one case, the community pushed back on the poster for being an ass. They repeatedly doubled down, and were repeatedly called out for it. It was good to see.

The second was a mod applying a definition to a community that doesn’t exist in its stated rules. I haven’t finished with that one yet, but depending on how my response plays out, I’ll be done with that community, and I’ll just go back to that other site. The particular community is excellent both here and in R-world, so I won’t miss much by saying goodbye to it on Lemmy. I’ll be sad, though.

With AI wedging its way into everything, need to have a representative of tech billionaires working the crank. Also probably some more tech billionaires peeing in various parts of the stack.

Upvote for the Network Chuck reference.

Put them in a closet. They can come back out after Jabba’s dead.
