Poast is by far the most interesting and active instance, though I don't have an account there, just on a smaller but similar pleroma instance. If you want to interact with real people go there.

I don't think it was hard to criticize; it always seemed to be a little tongue in cheek and lighthearted.
Have you read Chomsky's "Manufacturing Consent" and discussed the ideas inside with others? While he is right about in general about editorial bias, he ultimately posits that media that shares his own political agenda is good and media that does not is bad.
Media-induced hypersensitivity to fear porn is certainly an issue, and the good people of this board like to think they are invulnerable to it. Ha.

Many countries out there today have much more literal intersocietal slavery.
It would be amazing to break these bonds, but it would completely destroy globalism and dramatically alter 'quality of life' in the west, which is why it's not happened already.

Hello Contributors,
*RMS* may not conform to your societal standards, but condemning the man (him, or Torvalds, who also comes under fire,) marrs your reputation, and not his.
> He has shown himself to be misogynist, ableist, and transphobic, among other serious accusations of impropriety.
I have met RMS in person, (had Chinese food with him, in fact,) and though he may ignore some social conventions, he is a person who has very valuable and unique opinions, and a force to be reckoned with. These accusations appear to be, while not baseless, motivated by an extremely twisted socio-political ideology.
*Shame on you for bringing cancel culture into the world of software.*

Immediately linking any resemblance of racial identity politics to meaningful programming terms, and then demanding that the vernacular of an entire discipline be ideologically reshaped, means that you are the one who is on the 'wrong side of history'.
If these changes are truly merited, they will occur naturally over time.

Re:SuperPull – A tool for people who work on many machines
on Sunday January 27, 2019 @11:34AM (#19012341)
Hello HN,
I wrote SuperPull to solve a personal problem of mine:
1. Does work in multiple repos.
2. Walks to other computer.
3. Needs to manually pull and fetch new remotes for each working repository.
Questions:
1. Is there a better way to solve this problem?
2. What do you think of the tool? Thanks in advance for any feedback.
