yup. I haven’t done it yet, but apparently ceiling fan controllers are a pretty standard thing, so usually all you really have to do is replace the whole controller box (they’re like $30 apiece from what I remember), or replace the controller board itself like you mentioned.

I’ve stopped buying appliances from places like Home Depot for this reason, seems like they simply do not stock items that aren’t their brand-name cloud-hosted services, or larger brands like hue.

I’m pretty sure Minnesota imports something like 60% of our energy - i’m at least glad we’re past the worst of the winter weather but holy fuck is it going to suck

Idk but your little asspats are quite enjoyable if i’m being honest

Sorry, I must have mistook the multiple posts about this as an invitation for engagement

Goodness gracious, we are having quite the day with this.

I’m sure they’d be happy to oblige

Instance banning isn’t going to stop him from posting it elsewhere and blahaj users from seeing it elsewhere.

No, but it will stop them from seeing it from that particular user in every instance, which is better than them still seeing that user air their grievance about it.

It’s less performative than just about any other act of moderation on lemmy.

It isn’t that surprising to me that you received an instance ban for breaking an instance rule, even if it happened somewhere else. Users in blahaj can still see your activity, even if it’s not taking place in their instance, and a rule that’s meant to protect instance users like that one needs to apply everywhere that instance might be active. I don’t think this is mod abuse at all.

I can’t advocate enough that people have multiple user accounts for this purpose, though. The fediverse is so diverse, with so much variation in mod standards, that everyone will eventually experience this. Not as a way to evade a ban, but just as an acknowledgement that different communities don’t play well with some other communities you might be a part of. That, on top of the fact that it’s just good opsec to rotate user accounts anyway.

I don’t think anyone is going to change your mind about the specific opinion that earned you the ban, though. You seem pretty locked-in.

YDI.

I don’t know what this impulse is that people have to weigh in on the legitimacy of other people’s genders, but I’m tired of people running to communities like this one just to lick their wounds when they get rightfully swatted across the nose.

Good job i guess?

Yea, your opinion of tankies has come across just fine, it’s just curious to me that sentiment is so frequently communicated with conservative cultural references

This is the second time this week someone has inadvertentlu appropriated a bit on conservative culture in an effort to lionoze ‘tankies’

Every new episode this season has made me feel like i’ve missed all of the others.

This felt like a fever dream and I loved it.

Lmao

You could describe your shits in materialist terms i guess, but that doesn’t make it marxist

YDI.

Outside of how they relate to material conditions, it doesn’t.

It can’t help inform your gender identity any more than it can help you decide what toppings to put on your pizza. Attributing that kind of cultural expression to an ideology that has nothing to say about it isn’t just dumb, it’s fascistic.

Ideologies are a part of culture, but culture isn’t a part of all ideologies, see?

“The culture of Marxism” is a misnomer - any distinct ‘culture’ that marxists might share is incidental to what marxism actually is. Suggesting that transgender expression is somehow a distinct feature of a culture ‘of marxism’ is exactly the thing ‘cultural bolshevism’ and ‘cultural marxism’ are pointing to.

Unless you’re planning on articulating what it is you’re actually objecting to I can’t really help you make sense of those two statements.

Because 90% of Marx’s writing is about class relations.

Yes that’s the point. Marx isn’t concerned with cultural expression outside of how it’s used inside class relations. Which is why it’s inane to point to ‘the culture of marxism’, because outside of that narrow materialist context marxism doesn’t concern itself with culture.

Thumbs are fingers but fingers aren’t all thumbs.
