I don’t actually think that software is necessarily neutral, and that for this sort of thing to be successful in the current landscape it MUST be Marxists who make it. Take Bluesky, for example. Or OpenAI is perhaps a better example. Maybe this breaks some people out of the “Elon bad -> Dorsey good” cycle of analysis as to why lemmy exists and maybe leads them to question the use of the “tankie” perjorative in general.
I feel (maybe hope) that countries doing this would face significant challenges with currency substitution and private currencies. Ultimately if I want to buy something and my neighbor wants to sell me that thing the government becomes the, “Is there someone you forgot to ask?” meme.
It’d be metal af if I bought something from my neighbor and paid him in Yuan, lol.
all those bills you have are worthless.
That’s the tricky thing is technically the government doesn’t actually control what is worth stuff, its all just vibes. By undermining faith in their currency the government could actually lose a bit of control, not gain it. This was actually a huge fucking problem early in US history.
To your point, here are two adjacent “parks” in Washington DC. The park on the left is fully open and walkable. The park on the right has a low fence and shrubs surrounding it. You could technically hop the low fence and walk there, lots of people let their dog do that so it can crap there, but both practices are discouraged.
Also, if you are mobility impaired, or its muddy, or whatever, you wouldn’t want to walk in the park on the left either. So it makes sense that OSM wouldn’t try to shortcut you over it.
If you pick a FOSS license then your project is FOSS. The number of developers doesn’t matter.
I moved all my (meager bullshit) personal projects to Codeberg awhile ago. My stuff was already open source, but I did explicitly add some license files I neglected to add before just to make it clear. So far so good.
Before you archive your Github repos make sure to update them with one last commit explaining that the repo has moved to somewhere else (and potentially why). Once you lock the repo you can’t make changes. If you straight-up delete them then this isn’t an issue.
There’s no way they want to eliminate bot traffic, it would kill 2/3rds of their traffic instantly. So this just means, “bots that aren’t paying us.”
I had a dog who developed seizures. Low dose phenobarbital solved the issue thankfully. It was a little inconvenient because he required regular liver tests and also, phenobarbital being a controlled substance, I had to buy it at a regular pharmacy. But other than that it was fine, much better than the seizures. He had no issues until he died (years later) of unrelated problems stemming from old age.
I was thinking Khorne wasn’t appropriate for the USA because Khorne cares about honorable combat. Then I thought Nurgle because we’re all fat and sick and because of the ivermectin brain-worms shit, but no, Nurgle is actually an avuncular and loving god in his own way. Tzeentch actually plans stuff and thinks ahead.
I think its a Slaanesh cult. The elites are all pedos, the propaganda is obsessed with genitalia, the populace doesn’t give a shit as long as the treats flow.
They exist, they’re just more corporate and centralized, and inundated with basic tech support questions due to the huge install base.
Like this: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/category/windows
If you dig deep enough in there you’ll find administrators talking about powershell hacks and devops and group policy and stuff like that. There’s probably people who are “passionate” about Windows, I’d imagine, but since it’s closed source there’s only so much you can do without being literally an employee of MS. The people I’ve met like this are kind of smugly defensive about Windows because they’ve invested so much training and knowledge into its arcana, but it’s not exactly “passion”.
CLI installation guide is perfect, thank you.
Thanks, I plan on doing this when my phone dies. Just some questions:
A computer with a Chromium-based browser (e.g., Google Chrome, Brave, Microsoft Edge, Vivaldi?). Unfortunately, I must recommend Windows 10/11 here, because then you don’t have to mess around with any drivers; it’s the simplest option.
This is the first I’ve read this, how much of a pain is it to use Linux instead? I don’t have any Windows computers.
First of all, we need to make sure that our phone’s software is updated to the latest available version. For this purpose, we go to Settings -> System -> System update. If necessary, we update
How is this possible if the previous step skipped SIM and Wifi setup? I assume, if there’s updates, to setup Wifi then proceed?
securing the phone with a fingerprint; I personally am an advocate of this solution…
Recommend not doing this for users in the USA, as police can compel you to unlock biometric locks. Yes, it’s fucked up, that’s what happens when octogenarian fascists run all three branches of your government.

Investment money has basically dried up. Even indies need that, unless you mean the “one person in their garage working off Patreon” type of studio. For awhile Chinese companies were holding down the fort and trying to expand in North America, but they’ve largely withdrawn that strategy and focused on domestic production. That’s why so many indie studios working on their first game shut down in the last two years.
For this to reverse itself interest rates will need to come down, but for that to happen without catastrophic inflation we would need several years of un-fucked monetary policy. So basically it’s fucked for a long time and possibly will never exist again in the way it did. This is on top of all the other issues the vfx/game industries have with crunch, chaotic management, etc.
New Year’s Resolution: I’m going to “reform” my body by going from obese to morbidly obese.
I just remember it being really expensive. I think it was $4 to rent? Plus the looming potential late fees. Whatever it was, at the time it seemed like a fortune. So you couldn’t really fuck around and rent “Mansquito 2: Womansquito” just for laughs because it really was a huge ripoff when a movie sucked, or was damaged, or something. Also the popular movies were never in stock. They would put hundreds of empty boxes on the shelves to make it seem like it was there, but the actual tapes were always gone.
The marginalia of medieval manuscripts are often pretty wild. Just my personal theory, but I always thought it seemed like one of the places where the artists could inject a little of their own ideas, elaborating on the subject or drawing parallels, using symbolism, maybe little in-jokes for the client (hours books were made for one person), etc. Sort of like the extra panel of an xkcd comic.
I’m not sure I buy the McDonald’s worker story, the whole narrative of the arrest seems really bizarre. (Not that I eat their shit food, one way or another.)
The dialog pushing AI media seems to start from this assumption that I consume media just to have colors and words and sounds enter my face holes. In fact, I consume art and media because I like hearing, seeing, and reading about how other humans experience the same world I do. It’s a form of communication. I like the product but also the process of people trying to capture the bonkers, ineffable experience we all seem to be sharing in ways I would never think of, but can instantly verify.
What’s funny is, due to the nature of media, it’s kind of impossible to not communicate something, even if the artwork itself is empty. When I see AI media I see the communication of a mind that doesn’t know or give a shit about any of this. So in their attempt make filler they are in fact making art about how inarticulate they are. It’s unintentional, corporate dadaism.
At some point in my 40s I started doing that medieval “first sleep” and “second sleep” thing where my eyes just blast wide awake at 2am. I don’t have to pee, I’m not uncomfortable, I just wake up. I read, take the dog out, brush my teeth again… After awhile I go back to sleep and wake up at the normal time.
I guess it is kind of nice to do a patrol around and make sure everything is cool, and the dog loves it. It’s just kind of weird.
