@thor that's actually something i like very much everytime i visit scandinavia :)

Sorry to be a downer btw but Soylent Green is set in 2022

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!

I really feel for Bezos. He's the third most hated man in the world. He didn't even get first place. Poor fuck.

@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.

question about pet death 

does anyone have resources that were helpful to them? about deciding when to euthanize or dealing with grief or whatnot. my dog is close to the end

@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

Maybe it's not that I'd like to go back to the 90s, but I wish our society reverted more to the 90s. When people lived outside of the internet, there was good culture in general, there wasn't so much control over the population... I don't know. I'm just not a fan of this dystopian cyberpunk society we are building here. I get it that a lot of people likes the aesthetic of it, but when it becomes a reality... that can't be good.

@deprecated

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

@zpartacoos @JoshuaACasey

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 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.

@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.

@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.
