Hey there! WPT is WhitePeopleTwitter. Yeah you're right it's not too different from world really. I think my experience is just more happenstance haha

It's crusty as hell but checks out.

How would one approach discussing toxic positivity with a friend?

She can't get any dates or maintain other friendships because of this personality she's adopted, everyone can see right through it and she comes across as annoying at best, and like psycho delusional at worst, doesn't help that she's 30, stacking shelves, thinking she gonna meet a guy of her dreams at work, refuses to use dating apps because she thinks herself above them and might actually be thinking she's gonna make it in the music industry after a few singing lessons.

She also spams random anime shit, but when I try to connect that way as I used to be a weeb back in the day, she's never even seen any classics, just no-name seasonal moeshit.

I usually beef with sh.it.just.works users because by far I've met the most wrong takes there, especially in WPT, and it's quite funny considering the instance name conveys a sort of desperation in not being able to get Lemmy to work, which just makes it seem like it's an instance for the less intellectualy gifted of us, but it's all in good fun really. Some communities there are also quite nice.

I'm pretty aligned with hexbears/MLs but their Russia simping is too much, whether it's critical support or trying to get a reaction out of folks to post the pig it just feels like a nazi bar type situation.

Ironically db0 and slrpnk feel far more legit to me as an anarchist though neither are explicitly anarchist or based around being leftist in any other way.

Blahaj.zone banned me for transphobia on my first post I think. Or one of the communities did. No idea what I said there but I totally get them not messing around with bans.

World is just the largest instance, so naturally has the most trolls, spam, dodgy mods with weird rules and so on and so forth.

That's the beauty of the fediverse though, if they ever became a real problem for me I'd just block em all. I kind of love this instance culture. Makes the place feel more human than the cold masto bullshit.

I do in so far as I have to, I perform risk assessments and trust nothing and check everything, operating under the assumption that anything could have double motives and malice behind it. I've had to learn many times not to overuse occam's razor when dealing with outside entities like e.g. neighbours when trying to deal with disputes. Everyone is capable of anything, I just try my best to be ready for 'em when they come. Being a hermit would be good, but unfortunately capitalism prevents this for me for the moment.

I basically assume almost everything is a scam, because I'm almost always right. I hate the kind of person it's made me into, cynical, distrustful. I feel like I'm paranoid, but It's only paranoia when they're not out to get you.

I use macvtaps in my homelab for vulnerable VMs because no matter how I set up the bridges or what guide I followed it just broke networking every time on a headless server that's a massive pain to fix.

Wish I knew about macvtaps from the get-go, it was a dead giveaway that bridges are some demonic shit on Linux as every guide was different, and for every guide there was always some people on Reddit saying how it didn't work for them at all.

I haven't found myself missing hard-corpo software in a while but in that moment I really wished I was just using VMware on windows where creating a bridge interface takes one click instead of janky virsh syntax and messing with ifconfig etc.

Definitely not how it works for me and I've never used key Auth.

What model?

That sounds kinda promising actually.

And you know, the rest of the western world.

No. Alex Kurtzman primarily, who is the showrunner for DSC and PIC, handed such a role for his previous successes like writing Transformers 2 and such hits as TASM2. But not just him, also Akiva Goldsman, Michael Chabon and Kirsten Beyer. You know, the four horsefolks of the apocalypse that ran trek into the sorry state it's in today.
