  • Yeah, the key to what daryl did was probably that it was in person and he has a lot of patience, and it was done over a long period of time.

    Anyway, please ignore what I said earlier, I don’t really like discussing politics and I don’t really know why I made that comment in the first place. I deleted it for that reason but undeleted it after u/ksynwa told me i shouldn’t have deleted it. I should have added something to the original comment when I did that.


  • Okay, I just undeleted it.

    I thought this platform allowed you to view deleted comments though.

    I usually don’t get involved in politics outside of a select discord server where I’ve known the community for around 2 years. So when I saw a reply I just deleted the comment because I didn’t really want to argue.

    And that edit explains why I got multiple emails about this, I assumed they were replies to your reply though.

    keeping this here because someone said i shouldn’t have deleted it, frankly i deleted it because i don’t really wanna argue about this, i only talk about politics in a community i’ve been in for upwards of 2 years, and even there i don’t enjoy discussing it. I don’t even know why i made this comment in the first place. And I understand this platform has a lot of leftists (probably a vast majority) and they wouldn’t like nazis or whatever here. So… Please ignore what I said. Pre-deletion message is below this.


    Yeah, like is said on https://minds.com:

    You can only change someone’s mind if you provide them with a platform to speak it.

    That is, banning people who disagree with you is worthless and will not change their minds, and like you said, will probably make their negative belief stronger.


    I heard about that site from Daryl Davis, I think on his episode of The Joe Rogan Experience (I don’t usually watch him, I’ve seen like 2 vids from him, daryl davis and edward snowden)

    If you don’t know who that is, he’s the black musician who converted 200+ KKK members (some indirectly, some as a direct result of him talking to them over a long period of time)

    I’m pretty sure they were a bit less than 40px, I think around 36? I don’t recall the exact number because openbox doesn’t really have a “make it this height” option in the theme, so I mostly used the padding option.

    It’s a lot smaller relatively when on a 1080p screen, I just lowered my resolution for the screenshot so the font doesn’t look so small.

    shell programmers are too high to fit on the list

    well, mainly just dylan… He’s a god at it lol

    edit: nvm im rart, read it wrong, it’s what the programmer feels like they’re better than, not what the lang is better than. :neutral face:

    Did you just assign a lot of shortcuts for common actions?

    I’m not sure what you mean, there are existing keybinds for most things.

    ^t for a new tab
    ^n for a new window
    ^l (L, not i) to focus the navbar (which with my css brings the urlbar into view)
    Also, you can use alt-number to switch tab (this is ctrl-number on windows)
