The Quuuuuill

by my experience mostly straight eastern europeans. everyone else either started on something else or they moved off telegram because they didn’t feel like they could trust it

elon musk in business deal with russian oligarch again. nothing is new

you underestimate how shortsighted republicans are

judges here will sign warrants for anything. the way their positions are doled out a key qualification to being a judge who signs warrants is intrinsically trusting cops

oh that’s easy. the VW execs were under the jurisdiction of a country that gives a fuck and knows what the consecuences of unchecked greed are. the bankers were under the jurisdiction of a country that thinks maybe a little bit of fascism wouldn’t be so bad, all things considered

someone says they’re ironman they gotta deal with the consequences lol

you’re also an addict

you find out that your childhood anxiety that no one actually likes you was spot on

the bullets fire whether your sphincter is open or not

i learned about loss on lemmy

it’s not perfect, but i’ve just been gathering interesting links into my org roam notebook

I don’t even trust non-unlockable bootloaders. There’s so much planned obsolescence everywhere

there’s a difference between using irc for livetime troubleshooting and not having a forum at all and directing everyone to your livechat discord. i’m sure some sicko out there has run an OSS project on only IRC, but their project likely got no traction because a history of problemsolving posts is important in open source. generally speaking, you need:

• a wiki
• a static indexable searchable forum
• a live chat place for real time communication for novel problems

too many projects these days only have that last one in the form of discord

more like 200

that trajectory leads to Antix to give you full control over every decision and then from there to debian or devuan because all that decision making is exhausting, can’t the machine just work and only update when there’s security patches?

or this is the champion crazy passenger theory. it’s the one to beat and he’s excited to hear the next humdinger

it’s the social features and the network effect. if you want to make a playlist and share it with your friends the easiest way to get them to listen to it is to host it on spotify. also blends, collaborative playlist, jams, and now listening all provide the illusion of connection through a shared listening experience. and it’s not so much that these things are better than what we used to have for sharing music, it’s that corporations have all killed our ways of sharing music. that’s what they really hated about groove shark. artists made more money in the groove shark era, but umg, sony, and warner didn’t control how we shared on it.

yeah but you can get better hush puppies almost anywhere (disclaimer: i’m southern)
