We really need a better term for DNC “leadership”.

That’s always the balance between time, quality, and cost. Fast and good js expensive, cheap and fast is crap, cheap and good requires time.

Polymarket apocalypse futures are soaring right now.

I can understand the appeal of a piece of bread that’s been soaked or buttered or even just toasted and salted. I bet that’s delicious, if done right.

My question is, why the other two slices of bread? What’s the thinking there? Why not have three slices of delicious middle bread? If the bread is good enough on its own, why not eat it alone?

It’s like if you made a drink of tepid water by adding ice cubes to a glass of warmed water and then letting them completely melt until room temperature. Who is this recipe for? “Oh, but maybe the ice cubes are flavored” OK then why freeze them before melting them? “Maybe the hot water is flavored with herbs that rele-” Bitch, that’s tea.

I’m so confused, I’m getting mad at imaginary arguments I’m having with hypothetical morons about analogous situations that only exist in my head.

Plumbing would still be a job without capitalism. Actually, come to think about it, plumbing is just about the least capitalist job there is. Most plumbers are small businesses owned by the laborers. Plumbing products are all mass produced, but the actual plumber is valued for their skills, not because they have the capital to corner a market. Plumbers in areas where corporate conglomerates are common are usually protected by unions, too.

If you want a job that wouldn’t exist without capitalism, the answer is farmer. Sure, farmers are the backbone of any society, but farmers work the land, and the land has a lot of conditions. But you can buy avocados in Michigan in January, because someone realized that they can make money shipping avocados from warmer climates year round. It’s terrible for the land, terrible for the environment, and terrible for local farmers who cannot compete in the race to the bottom, but the capitalist cares not for these things. Only profit nourishes the soul of the corporation.

Don’t forget to take your medication today.

Honestly, I’m surprised it took this long.

No joke, ChatGPT has been a game changer for my linux education. Tutorials and guides are great, but it’s either a step-by-step instruction on doing exactly one thing, or it’s a general overview that assumes you already know everything.

ChatGPT doesn’t judge your gaps in knowledge, it just answers questions. Those answers are frequently wrong, but then so are the answers I get on message boards. The other nice thing is that I can copy and paste code or error logs, and it will parse the information and tell me what to look for.

I still follow guides and ask real humans for help when I need it, but I try an AI first.

I agree, but I can understand why BlueSky is doing better. A key component of the quality of the product is the number of users. I’m not active on either of them, but I do have a Mastodon account I barely use because it feels lonely.

Yep this is the only difference. Bluesky is promoted by the business owners, so it will have more activity and probably more consistent development and support. At the same time, it is a business and enshittification axioms still apply.

I did something similar with an old spare phone for a while when my actual phone screen stopped working. I carried both around, but I found 90% of my use cases didn’t involve phone calls or even texting.

I do find it convenient to have my phone connected to tailscale so I can access my home network from anywhere.

And I don’t necessarily trust public wifi.

But otherwise, I fully support this and think it’s entirely viable for most people.

I don’t believe you’re honestly anything.

See what you’re doing now is called sea-lioning, where you pretend you have been misunderstood, and you’re just trying to have a civil conversation. You shared a nazi arguement, and if you feel you’ve been misunderstood, you’re free to clarify what you meant to say. I’ve said my peace, so if you want to keep pretending you’re not a bigot, then you’ll need to do more than insist others prove it.

Because Atlanta isn’t going to be a favorable venue. Too many reasonable people in the city.

I feel like I was fairly clear about that. It’s the one where you use bad science to justify bigotry and crimes against humanity. For example, your comment earlier in this thread about how certain people shouldn’t exist because ova and sperm are the only gametes.

Hey want to play a game? Your bank is gonna text you a number, and I’m going to guess it. Tell me if my guesses need to be higher or lower.

Which is it, you don’t want to defend the nazi argument, or you do want to defend the nazi argument?

Holy libel suit, Batman!

Ok, but imagine you’re a dipshit who wants to be offended by things.
