I know :( something is causing it to randomly hang on the DB processing

That’s kinda…just letting them get away with something they want, which I personally hate to even give them an inch but whatevs ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Kinda, but the symbols are different, albeit slightly

The buddist symbol is flat with a common variation having 4 dots in the inner corners, with the Nazi shit stain symbol being rotated 90 degrees so it sits on its corner and is never displayed with dots (afaik)

That actually didn’t make sense, but I haven’t really kept up with Pepes history, so I looked it up

No, it was never supposed to be nor did it during its initial rise in popularity, those shit bags are trying to steal it, and the original creator hates what they try to appropriate it for

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepe_the_Frog

originally an apolitical character in Furie’s works and its original internet popularity, Pepe was appropriated from 2015 onward as a symbol of the alt-right white nationalist movement.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) included Pepe in its hate symbol database in 2016, but said most instances of Pepe were not used in a hate-related context.

Since then, Furie has expressed his dismay at Pepe being used as a hate symbol and has sued organizations for doing so; the history of Pepe and Furie’s attempt to dissociate the character from the alt-right were covered in the 2020 documentary film Feels Good Man.

In 2019, Pepe was used by protesters in the 2019–2020 Hong Kong protests; conversely to its western political use, Pepe the Frog’s symbolism in Hong Kong is not perceived as being connected with alt-right ideology, and was welcomed by Furie.

In May 2016, Olivia Nuzzi of The Daily Beast wrote that there was “an actual campaign to reclaim Pepe from normies” and that “turning Pepe into a white nationalist icon” was an explicit goal of some on the alt-right.

In an interview with Esquire, Furie said of Pepe’s usage as a hate symbol, “It sucks, but I can’t control it more than anyone can control frogs on the Internet”.

Fantagraphics Books, Furie’s publisher, issued a statement condemning the “illegal and repulsive appropriations of the character”.

The Anti-Defamation League, an American organization opposed to antisemitism, included Pepe in its hate symbol database but wrote that most instances of Pepe were not used in a hate-related context.

Writing in Time on October 13, 2016, Furie said that “I understand that it’s out of my control, but in the end, Pepe is whatever you say he is, and I, the creator, say that Pepe is love.”

The next day, the ADL announced that it had partnered with Furie to launch the #SavePepe (or “Save Pepe”) campaign, an attempt to associate the symbol with positivity.

As part of that campaign, Furie collected hundreds of “positive or peaceful” versions of Pepe to store in an online “Peace Pepe Database of Love”. On October 17, 2016, Furie published a satirical take of Pepe’s appropriation by the alt-right movement on The Nib.

D: say it isn’t so @rimu@piefed.social :(

Upvote this one if you want BBT to stay

I just saw it come through on my cross-posting campaign lmao

We doing a betting pool on how fast it gets removed? lolol

Lol well he ended his life as an UltraMAGAt sooooooooop

Thanks, that’s cool I didn’t want to sleep tonight anyways lmfao

Is there a continuation or is that last nightmare panel it lol

I…I thought it was LMAO

I wonder if it’s time FOSS projects started taking the view that liberty is for individuals and not corporate use, and license accordingly.

I think so, I think it should have been like that from the beginning tbh. Corporations have plenty of money to support projects that support them, there’s really no excuse

I’m a pretty decent typer on these blasted OSKs but fuck do I still miss real keyboards :'(

435 of them, based on lemmyverse’s current count of 466 instances

Actually now that I think about it, I still don’t have a slrpnk account lmao, my trading card deck is incomplete!

I mean…is the curse really that much worse than what’s going on now? It would certainly be more interesting I think lmao

Idk bout imgur, but Reddit’s automod can be set to auto-remove untagged posts or human mods just remove them quickly since it’s a no brainer if it’s not tagged or tagged improperly

I’m heavily researching tape for my data, I currently sit around 400TBs Total but only around 200 in data that id actually want to backup and can’t just redownload.

Iirc the break even point 100-150TB

ETA: that break even point might actually be lower now that I think about it since that number is probably outdated when I did it and doesn’t account for the shortage crap

Half of these problems would be solved with a tagging system like on Reddit, then you could just block by tags

I’m pretty sure PieFed rolled out a tagging system, but clients haven’t caught up yet

Why not use 1077? The price of a cheese pizza and a large soda at Panucci’s Pizza and my secret bank pin number

Lmao well jokes aside, you’ll be good for awhile, we crossed the point of diminishing returns some time ago for GPUs. I ran a 1060 for a LONG time lol
