Advocate for freedom and tolerance even if you say things I do not like

Adversary of Fediblock

Accept that I'll probably say something you don't like and I'll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.

Ah... Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don't answer that, I sort of know the answer already...

Not just the problem with student debt, but the problem of people being horrendously over educated for what they do.

An inconvenient Truth is that at some point somebody needs to do something. You need someone to pull a wrench, you need someone to operate a factory, you need someone to go out to places no one wants to go and operate an oil rig. Not everyone can be a senior manager. Not everyone can be a ceo. Not everyone can be a best-selling author.

The answer for the past 40 years has been "get the chineymans to do it, get the Mexicans to do it, get the Chileans to do it, get the Bangladeshis to do it", and that isn't a long term solution.

Even if you believe in the inherent superiority of the hwite race, eventually the bill comes due and when you have everyone else doing everything, and you're just not needed anymore.

Not to mention policies intended to end fossil fuels.

Suddenly there aren't enough fossil fuels, and it's everyone's fault but theirs.

Man, Australians are so rich! Look at how many houses they own! Such a sustainable economy!

Independent observers are idiots if they think that. Look at Project Veritas being raided after his adult daughter lost her diary.

Yet der fuhrer trudeau is still fully in place with the full support of his pomeranian lapdog in a turban.

I love this guy's short videos.

I note that they're not denying it in the letter though.

With a modern Nas there are lots of options. Nice thing with nextcloud is it can replace many Google apps.

Ooh, and batteries. A leaky battery will take a steel case and motherboard and everything on it with it.

You have to admit, it would be funnier if police fined them.

There's a lot of people who keep 50 year old computers running. The CPU is usually a non-sequitur. Fans are usually a top failure point, dust accumulation being related and also a problem. Passive components, particularly capacitors, ares a major failure point. Beyond that, the key is environmental conditions. If a board gets wet at all then all bets are off.

The guys keeping 50 year old computers alive are only doing it for nostalgia. It's only been about 15 years that computers have been fast enough that you'd want a 15 year old computer as a daily driver. 20 years ago you'd be looking at a Pentium 4 single-core single-thread which really isn't going to be that useful for much these days. 15 years ago you'd be looking at a core 2 duo. With a ram upgrade and a modern SSD that's more than enough for basic web browsing and medium bitrate streaming on youtube.

I think we're coming to a point where we can start making decisions to buy higher reliability components in general. The entire FBXL network is run off of fanless commercial grade PCs. They run cool (CPU cores are sitting around 30C as I recall) and have few to no moving parts, so while there's a question about the lifespan of the SSD drives or spinning hard drives, there's no doubt in my mind that the computers themselves will be nice and boring, and probably could outlive me assuming there's no problems with capacitors.

What even is an semitic? Is it like a semaphore?

The way the hegemony works, there'll be no shelter. The end of previous eras had global consequences. We're already seeing all the other dominos falling.

The most important thing is to understand that you can't save the world, so save yourself instead. During the fall of Rome, the people of Rome didn't die, they just became something different and had to find a way to survive and thrive in a new era.

Oh yah?

Most tech companies need huge layoffs. Look at what many of these companies actually do compared to their payroll sizes, it's absurd.

Microsoft needs to lay off a lot of people who have had 10 years to polish key products and just haven't.

"we"?

I mean... Walking down the streets of some of these cities that want to make things as comfortable as possible for druggies is a pretty good counter-argument.

Just open air nightmare fuel...

All this ai hardware and they can't even see why they need a 3.5mm headphone jack.

I mean... The dumpster fire is right there. These conditions are the sort of thing that ends empires consistently throughout history. Having one thing going for you isn't enough if so many massive problems exist.
