I can’t stand it, I know you planned it

I can’t stand rocking when I’m in here 'Cause your crystal ball ain’t so crystal clear

I think Le Guins “The Dispossessed” belongs here. Its a dystopian/ utopian comparative about an anarchist planet and a capitalist planet. Highly recommend. I’ve got a signed copy somewhere.

My NAS just arrived today. I’ll have ~42 TB of self hosted storage for 1k.

Google is charging me something ridiculous like, 300 a year for the same.

Russian propaganda bot.

Oh he’s not a bot. They are a real verified human doing this as a labor of love.

Seems like you could market a line with even worse statements on it:

“This cigarette kills babies”

Airplane. Young Frankenstein. Emperors New Groove. Paper moon.

Bro you post hundreds of times a day on here, and it’s not even a remotely thought out thesis on society. You’re just an imperialist and it’s important to call you out on it.

and free labor on the part of @yogthos@lemmy.ml to promote it.

Which is rich considering he’s a well paid software engineer working out of a western Democracy.

Tankies. The world would be so bland without them.

Whatever Toronto.

I think it’s important to note how much hardscape and channelling has been done to prevent widespread and sheet style flooding, and how they contribute to this problem of ground water recharge.

Most places that are flat enough to build are flat enough to build because of thousands of millenia of flooding, especially sheet flooding, laying down sediment and making them flat. Then humans get annoyed because the flat low places floos, so they build flood control.

There is a post further down about how Muni water really isn’t an issue and I agree with this. I’ve put up a couple posts explaining this on Reddit and hacker news. I could rehash it if some one was interested.

I think this kind of handwringing shows a fundamental lack of understanding of how the internet works.

Everything you’ve ever pushed your eyeballs against on the internet was hosted somewhere. These days its pretty much all in the cloud.

All this team did was write a wrapper to automate the instance creation, which I just happily paid for, because even though I could have figured it out, it wasnt work several hours of my time to do so. And if I did, I still was going to use the same cloud providers this team is routing through.

I just paid to host an instance to do my part to support the fediverse. If you are from the elest team jbenguira hit me up or maybe I’ll hit your lemmy to get some help. Having some issues getting my domain to work and want to make sure I’m doing it right.

I joined Reddit during the digg exodus. Before digg I was into fark and before fark, something awful.

It’s good that things die. it’s where new mediums come from. It also keeps the power with the user. It’s an important part of the internet life cycle.

Wow that is excellent.

Welfare programs in capitalist countries can be socialism.

NATO members in general are too comfortable relying too much much on the U.S. defense umbrella. It is something the U.S. has been warning NATO members about for a long time. It’s meant to be a collective defense. What’s happening in Ukraine should be a loud wakeup call.

I’m fine with NATO members relying on the US defense budget as long as they spend their money on socialist programs at home. The US could provide the best socialist safety net on the planet, and still outspend the rest of the world 40:1 on defense if it would just tax the rich. Tax capitol gains like income as well, and 80% tax on everything over 20 million a year, 95% tax on everything over 200 million a year, and 99% tax on everything over 1 billion a year.

Boom now we can do the best socialized medicine on the plan and have enough left over to build a couple hundred new NATO bases where ever member states want them.

Rest in piss.
