@thor that's actually something i like very much everytime i visit scandinavia :)
I understand why we must recognise and applaud the philanthropy of kind, selfless souls like Elon Musk but don’t you think we’re being a little unfair to historic philanthropists by focussing so much of our love and admiration on our current benefactors?
Take Louis XIV, for example. “Louis was sincere about protecting his subjects' souls and throughout his reign encouraged charitable giving.” Brings a tear to my eye, it does… show Louis some love, y’all!

@norm everybody else is also in this world and _not_ acting like an asshole. it's just that the good people probably don't have energy left to deal with bullshit and the assholes view this as opportunity.
@herag @klaatu maybe a refurbished thinkpad & a docking station? those are usually a pretty good deal.
i was recently searching for an amd mini itx board and cpu for my file server and only found either underpowered cheap ones (~50€)or pricy ones where i'd have to buy a ryzen as cpu so i'd be at around ~300€. my desktop PC for games doesn't even have a ryzen! :D
the industry has stagnated to the point that we’re now regressing to inefficient interpreted languages and 80s style flat UIs. there’s no more serious research into distributed systems, new memory models, or human interface design taking place. the handful of people left who still care are struggling to maintain what we had 20 years ago. computers have never been more unpleasant to work with
1. "passionate about human rights" in your bio
2. talking about "bullets to the head" with an eugenics spin.
3. you became the thing you despise 💁
@phryk i think you'd find deroff handy!
@phryk maybe there's zgrep available? you shouldn't have to run groff, aside a few ones most commands are on their own on line and grep should find the text anyway.
@phryk grep the sources :)
@loke I don't think that's true. Andrew Lee just recently registered the domain libera.net, which used to belong to a Spanish ISP back from 2000, but went out of business.
irc.libera.net is now a CNAME to chat.freenode.net.
This appears to be a clear attempt at muddying the waters in hopes of getting new IRC users on the Freenode network, rather than Libera.Chat. It looks to me like he's desperate as Freenode is bleeding users.
@atoponce lol, this guy is really insane xD
@timorl it's a big player but gandi.net is doing what i expect of it.
@bograt i can't think of a good reason to regulate that. it feels just like pure power play of the eurocrats.
i'm not even against the EU idea. the schengen agreement was a rather nice idea. i like that i can travel around the eu without much hassle.
alas, 99% of eu legislation is actively against the populace. the remaining 1% is either luck or the assholes are asleep and the few good people in the eu get something done.
state licensed lolbert and hypernatalist with a breeding kink. never watched rick & morty and i'm proud of it.
don't only rely on my words, read what happy customers wrote about me: "10/10 would buy again", "top seller, great value", "wildly incorrect", "teil des problems", "without imagination", "Repeated provocation using copy/paste.", "if you take a dump in my mentions, I just might notice the smell", "log out and never login again", "Du redest wirr.", "My brother in Christ, this is such a ridiculously dumb statement that I will no longer entertain this silly conversation.", "Auf Derailing-Diskussionen habe ich keine Lust. Finger über dem Blocken-Knopf.", "Wie gesagt, du kannst der Diskussion inhaltlich nicht folgen."
