I think you’re part right. I think they’ll attempt a bailout, but I don’t believe Trump’s appointments and the administration they’re creating have the skill to plan or execute a bailout (or admit to failure enough to identify that they need one in a timely manner)
They’re more likely to ram the economy full speed into rock bottom, then blame an outgroup (“the Democrats did this”) and pretend nothing could have been done.
To clarify: this is not intentional art. This is an engineering edge case turned real by bad luck.
Normally 3 buses can use around-about without issue, and there’s plenty of 4 bus patterns that could use the intersection without creating a knot, so bus drivers probably aclimate to having another bus or two in the loop, but this just happened to have the bad luck needed to create the knot.
(And OP is calling it an art installation tongue in cheek because it’s not going anywhere for a while)
Laura Ingraham (of Fox News fame), put out an article that we should all relax, because Jeffrey Epstein’s victims were on average closer in age to 15 than 5, and spouted some technicalities about the definition of pedophile, as if that makes grooming children to sexually exploit and trade access to for favors any less repulsive.
The timing of the news release is right after a clever procedural move in the US House brought a vote to release the Epstein files and now all the conservative media is trying the “maybe we did, but it wasn’t really that bad” lines.
I appreciate that arch’s package manager is a bit of a monster - but that’s also what made it the prefect choice for me.
In the immediate aftermath of the release of the Steam Deck, there was many hot weeks where arch’s ability to turn on a dime was exactly the tool needed to run all the new things valve released (fast development to deploy is aur’s specialty). This advantage was destined to not last more than 6 months, as that’s the release cycle for other distros.
Nothing prevents ya from using Arch to install Flatpack, tho. It’s also really well documented at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Flatpak 😅
To be fair - this mindset is hardly exclusive to self-hosters. The dotcom era itself kicked off because it was easier to get advertisers to pay for server costs than users.
Garuda was a great distro for a hot minute. It was right where it needed to be to access Steam on Linux right as the Steam Deck came to market. It got all the performance benefits of Proton immediately as other distros had to play catch-up.
It still is a great distro, but it’s lost some is that exclusivity.
AI: taking another hit of acid in preparation to research the reason why the last thing it did after taking acid didn’t work out.
I mean, then you’re describing bog-standard capitalistic exploitation, and it’s not exclusive to designers.
In FOSS world, this is only as true for the subset of developers (including both programmers and designers) that are contributing code as their job duties. Additionally that effect is only prominent in projects that are dominated by one organization. Both those things do happen, but there’s also numerous exceptions, too.
Some developers are paid to write unrelated proprietary code and the developer also contributes to open source on their free time. Some projects have so many corporate contributors that none of them can single-handedly direct the development.
I don’t inherently agree. Gatekeeping often is a magnified issue for novice users. Perhaps they came over with the latest reddit exodus, saw recommendations for self hosting on the new platform, got pushback and created an account to complain. I appreciate the concern, but I don’t think it’s valid to assume because the account is new, it must be a troll.
Good thing /c/[email protected] subscribers isn’t exclusively populated by those users!
Finding a group of people who don’t care about a thing is generally like shooting fish in a barrel. Caring is fundamentally hard.
I contend a functional definition of privilege is the number of problems you can ignore. By this metric anon is likely privileged.
I appreciate the thought but which would you choose:
Full time minimum wage US worker at $7¼/hr or $15,080/yr vs $20,000 one time purchase?
I agree with you that these things are likely underpaid labor (maybe including literal slavery, or job conditions close enough to count anyways), but I don’t think your argument is going to be convincing to anyone actually considering getting one.
Just label each with a cute yet distinct name. Then customers would associate each name with the blend they order, with bonus lore.
What you’re advocating is called genocide. Genocide is bad.
We’ve tried this ‘separating mentally ill from society’ before - they were called asylums. We stopped doing that because they’re inhumane. (There is an academic debate on if they’re inherently such or simply attract/foster abuse, but were not having that debate today.)
What you’re suggesting is an international crime and violation of human rights. Please reconsider.
Left ear, right ear, left nostril, right nostril, pore, pore, pore, …, pore, iris (light only), Prince Albert piercing, earlobe …
I disagree with this joke’s premise
Yes. If you’re not actively using the land you should sell it - if that were the general practice, many renters would be land owners themselves and an entire layer of middle management would evaporate.
I thought it was obvious from the blooming cloud of mutant white spores in the last few seconds 😜 nuclear mushroom!!
Hose is pronounced /hōz/ and dose is pronounced /dōs/ in “Standard English” (which is a specific and deliberately invented dialect taught to news anchors to try to smooth out all the regional differences), actual english varies so much over time and space that both words have numerous variations - https://www.howtopronounce.com/hose, plus we change our inflection on words depending on where they are in a sentence - and plenty of context can change if the emphasis is on the vowel or the ending consonant: All my hoes know a hose is a hose.
Simply put - as long as people understand the ideas you’re conveying, don’t worry too much about precise spelling and punctuation - it’s literally all made up.
They’ll just have AI read it for them…
