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...

It's unfortunate, but it is their right. Silently disconnecting is far preferable in my view to what happened on big tech, where they were able to actively have it so nobody can engage with people a minority of vocal individuals disagree with strongly.

The actual diversity that fediverse allows is awesome. I follow and have followed all kinds of people with all kinds of opinions I agree and strongly disagree with, and that's what I'd prefer.

What's really cool is seeing people are pretty chill about seeing opinions they disagree with. "Yeah, I disagree" and then move on with our day.

tbf, it's saskatchewan. What else are you going to do? Watch your dog run away?

That electric vehicles have already been perfected for 100 years. The problem is cheap streetcars don't make any dot com frauds into billionaires, they just provide inexpensive public transportation.

rip spoony, lost forever in the twitter salt mines.

I guess that's on them for disregarding their audience. Suddenly the AI/crypto boom ends and it's like "Oh shit, you mean we gotta ask you nerds to buy our products again?"

That wasn't even a 4090, which is closer to $1600!

The government gets over 50% of my income in taxes. Income taxes, land taxes, sin taxes, gas taxes, carbon taxes, HST, it adds up to them getting more of every dollar I make than I do. Besides that, the government of Ontario racked up the largest sub-sovereign debt in the world, and the government of Canada doubled its debt in just a few short years so even more than half of every dollar I make wasn't enough.

That being the case, My question must be: Why the fuck is there a single homeless person in Canada? Even if you don't say "Arrest them", there should be more than enough money there for gold plated hotels with blackjack and hookers!

Big question where I'm standing: "Is the latest crop of video cards revolutionary enough to justify a price tag of 1200USD?"

I think many people would make the same decision I would and would argue for most games you're still just fine with a 2-3 generation old card.

Presumably it wouldn't take 3/4 of twitter employees. It would just take a bus that happened to be filled with a dozen or two dozen people who stoke the bant furnaces and know that they need to be stoked.

If the company was so mismanaged from the bottom and the top that such a situation would be allowed, then perhaps they needed to go. Presumably the company would always be one cool startup away from crashing.

The narrative is sort of funny when they start carting out the isms.

"People who have a long memory of corporations being corrupt for money or power are concerned that the latest product from corporations might not be as safe as the corporations, who stand to gain massive amounts of money and power if people buy into their new product. This is because they don't care for black people or the gays."

Huh. Really...

Forget about the fediverse. If my entire company relies on individuals continously doing manual actions to not lose it's one an only product the course of a month, and we're a software company, then what were all those people doing with their lives?

Presumably that means that at any moment in time if a bus was filled with twitter engineers and it ran over a cliff then there'd be a non-zero chance that the same thing would happen because perhaps the few dozen people who needed to manually stoke the twitter furnace with coal could be on there.

I think if it goes down for any extended period of time in the next month and a bit then Elon was fully justified in firing all those people.

I don't see it happening.

(Hasn't almost every major website had substantial downtime in the past 720 days?)

You tell me that every single human being that got access to Dr. Sbaitso or similar talking chat bots on the commodore 64 didn't try to fuck with that creepy sounding fucker.

Huh...

Storry checks out...

How else are you supposed to keep butter permanently in your bunker/sex dungeon for repopulating the earth after Biden mumbles "fire ze missiles" during his after lunch nap?

>tfw I see "(1/34)" or similar on fediverse and remember some people keep their post limit at 500 characters for some reason


60,000 characters, baby. Why would you do anything else?

Sorry ladies, I'm taken.
