@icedquinn Neither of those are particularly good ideas IMO.
I know it's cliche and a lot of people don't like it (and maybe you've seen some of it) but this guy [1] helped me get my life together and deal with a lot of this sort of thing.

@patcoll I hated not having them since I was homeschooled.
The public schools here actually close for snow days just as aggressively as they used to which is pretty weird.

@feld @liaizon Yes, I really don't think bitcoin in its current form has much of a future. The PoS based coins will probably replace it, we'll see.
IMO: regulation is what the government/police force is for not payment processors. And you shouldn't not be able to keep cash in your house, if we want a "cashless society" then we need to handle all of the use cases cash provided for and one of those is keeping spare change in a mug on your bookshelf in case something weird happens.

@feld @liaizon I've been watching bitcoin for quite a while (I bought some when the only way to do that was via #bitcoin-otc on freenode) and people have been worried about 51% attacks for a while. It's not like corporate people haven't heard about bitcoin until last year either. Plus, at this point you can just switch to a different crypto currency pretty easily if it looks like it's headed that way.

@feld @liaizon If that's a viable attack vector than it was bound to happen. IMO: if that were feasible they would have done it by now.

@metalune@fosstodon.org What driver? Are you talking about the kernel log?
If it's actually the driver you can adjust the log level. https://tuxthink.blogspot.com/2012/07/printk-and-console-log-level.html

@feld @liaizon How exactly is that supposed to work?
That sounds like the argument that google centralized email. They made federated self hosted mail difficult but definitely not impossible.

@sotolf@fosstodon.org @duckhp You would think there would be a similar reaction to concentration camps though.

@metalune@fosstodon.org @splatt9990 A quick google actually says tmux does the same thing so they would be compounding.
Try adding `set -sg escape-time 0` to your tmux.conf

@duckhp @sotolf@fosstodon.org At least they're not using swastikas I guess.

@metalune@fosstodon.org @splatt9990 It could also be vim waiting for the esc char to time out to tell the difference between escape and meta (maybe tmux changed the detected terminal type and enabled this.) If it's on your local machine you can turn the value down really low.

Just a reminder that Google still hasn't unbanned Andrew Spinks[1]
We all knew famous people throwing a fit on twitter would stop working eventually. Now Google products really have no support.
Back up your photos and email *today.* I seriously regret not doing it.

@sotolf@fosstodon.org Coffee does that to me sometimes. I went most of 2020 without drinking it and now if I have more than a cup of "normal" strength coffee I get like that.

It really might all be coming apart.

@icedquinn Wow that's really something else.

@icedquinn
>> no no it doesn't matter MSNBC just called for their execution unironically

Do you have a source for that? That's a bit intense.

I used to love the caffeine buzz from coffee but now I can't stand it. I'm not sure if it's part of aging or if it's because my life is a lot less of a mess now.
Either way, I didn't realize how strong the coffee I made on Monday was until I had a few cups (I'm used to drinking it all the time and having a much higher tolerance.) I finally feel better today.
