@watson Imagine, they produce massive hyperinflation, then try to tax people on the increased number of dollars something costs when you go to sell that thing. And then, they try to tax *not selling that thing*.
This is effectively nationalization of everything. The government owns everything, and you're just leasing it. Welcome to communism.

@redfrog tbf, depending on where it is, it's a bad idea.
Where I live, they doubled electricity costs to create more solar energy, but for 9 months of the year they barely produce any energy. Some peak usage hours occur in the middle of winter in the middle of the night, while no solar panel is producing a microwatt of power.
Meanwhile, the hydroelectric dams are producing tons of power, but lobbyists hate it because it's a practical proven technology with a 100 year track record. Is there an environmental impact? Of course there is. There is no such thing as a power source that doesn't have an environmental impact at industrial scale, and that includes solar.

After months of writing, followed by heavy editing, formatting, cover design, and more my book is complete! The Graysonian Ethic: Lessons for my unborn son is now on Amazon!
For those who are aware of my tl;dr essays I occasionally post, many of those were aggregated, modified, and curated into this book.
28 days from now is my last day of work before I spend 3 months at home watching my son be born, and helping him through his first months of life. Really extraordinary.

@SeaTree How do you ethically test whether pregnancy under HRT is safe for a baby?
Same way as you ethically test an experimental vaccine: you don't. It's unethical testing or nothing.

@ThewTheKooky That last one can be true...
Not necessarily, if you do a shit job of researching then garbage in garbage out, but if you're smart about it then you can get a lot of good information -- most professionals use the Internet for research, after all!

@devtrospective @not__vee "The Slippery Slope Fallacy" isn't a fallacy when it's the well documented strategy of a group.
@icare4america We all recovered for the most part, but I'll tell you I'm eyeing booster shots pretty suspiciously.
@icare4america considering that most people will just suck it up and live with it, of course they're off.
I was incredibly sick after the second dose, and I know people who missed work because they could barely walk a week after the second dose. None of us had any way to report that fact, we just have to suck it up and live with it.

Ok, so it looks like I'm right and I'm wrong.
I'm right that the GPL doesn't protect that, and I'm wrong because mastodon is agpl not gpl

I'm not an lawyer, but I've seen a lot of people saying that Donald Trump is violating the GPL with his new website, but I'm not so sure. As I recall, the GPL is about redistributing programs compiled with source code. Running a website you aren't distributing the program, you're just using it, so I'm not sure that there's actually any obligation to post the source code. I might be wrong, but it's the way I recall GPL working. That could mean that GPL is largely incompatible with web services.
@josh come one come all, see the people who make their living playing video games on the internet!
@sizzletron the precise opposite of fascism: blaming (((the white people who control the banks and the media))) for all our problems and seeking to single them out and punish them by any means necessary.
Yep. Nothing remotely fascist here, folks!
