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...

What is problem? Sewer no longer full!

ITT: idiots propose genocide because they're idiots.

Don't worry, soaring debt just destroyed the empire last time, I'm sure it'll be fine this time.

You and you's?

Whatifalthist is really a great channel, and this video about disgust has some interesting insights. I think I finally "get" some things based on some of the information within, such as women's higher disgust levels compared to men.

"I'm too pretty to go to jail!"

Well, I mean, they're all working for organizations we know are directly working with governments to suppress speech the state doesn't like. Most people might hypothetically be a potential authoritarian, but these people actually are imminently making their living off of doing that right now.

I'm happy to tolerate them on fediverse as individuals (my Blocklist is still empty), but bringing their whole corrupt organizations with them seems like flying too close to the sun.

Don't get me wrong, in principle I agree, it's just I don't trust them. Nobody else does either which is why their ratings are collapsing across the board.

I have no use for the establishment media. They are tools of the authoritarians and where they go, liberty dies.

They should stay in the big tech ghettos they've created. They can walk on eggshells there just like they want to.

My instance is nothing like any of yours (36 users and counting, baby!), but I feel the same. The point is to be on the internet libre, not to get rich.

Lol Elon musk looks like an Elon musk quake skin

https://fediverse.express/ is a page with tools to set up an instance from one of several hosting services.

If you have hosting that only supports php and mysql, I believe friendica is more or less drop in. You upload it to your host and it'll more or less set itself up.

If you want to host using a home server, you can set up dynamic DNS to a GoDaddy hostname using the following link: https://www.instructables.com/Quick-and-Dirty-Dynamic-DNS-Using-GoDaddy/

If you're going to sell post at home, just be sure that your internet plan is robust enough. Your server is going to be constantly talking with other servers whether you are presently surfing or not.

If you'd like some more specific advice, I've gone through quite a bit of it myself so I'm willing to help however I can.

Seems the children's nsaid shortage is happening in the US now too.

Damn you Putin!!! How dare you sneak into all the drug stores and buy up all the baby Tylenol!!!

Unfortunately, we have an entire generation of people who don't know what a sane market looks like.

I think you're right, to the extent that it is considered a tech company for the purposes of investing in a tech bubble. Thing is, the tech bubble was only caused by excessive liquidity in the system, which we're seeing now.

Comparing PE ratios for similar companies maybe doesn't tell the whole story, but it definitely helps point you in the right direction. Tesla doesn't have anything special about it that supports its market cap.

Toyota makes several of the top selling cars on earth. It sells industrial vehicles. It sells a successful line of trucks. It sells the top hybrid. They made 280 billion dollars last year, with a gross profit of 53 billion.

Tesla makes like 2 cars. They sometimes sell battery packs but that's about it. This year apparently they're delivering some semis but it's unclear. They made 50 billion dollars last year, grossing 13 billion in profit.

Toyotas market cap is still half of Tesla's market cap.

The question shouldn't be "why is Tesla doing so bad?", It should be "why is this tiny company doing so good?"

And the answer is that it's a debt fueled asset bubble that isn't even close to deflating yet. By my measure, Tesla should be considerably less valuable than Toyota.

It isn't that tough to self-host, and then not only are you participating, you're helping to preserve the decentralization and robustness of the ecosystem. Centralization is what killed big tech, it's too easy to corrupt a single point of failure.

The more distributed the fediverse becomes, the less any one provider needs to pay for hosting since instances only need to serve transactions between users that interact somehow. The more distributed the fediverse becomes, the less a loss of one provider damages the ecosystem. The more distributed the fediverse becomes, the more distributed the fediverse becomes, the more points of failure need to be corrupted to kill or take over the ecosystem.

I like my nextcloud news as separate from my lotide or my soapbox. Each are different tools with different purposes.

I was subbed on peertube but someone was a dick in the comments so tilvids closed that particular loophole. :/

If commies knew history they'd know that all the degeneracy is clamped down the moment they gain power.
