Using discord for this is such a bonehead move.

I do grind my beans haha.

Idk but I use NixOS.

That’s rough. I’m not sure how long I’ll be able to cope with these limitations, but so far at least I’m happy with the bandwidth.

Interesting. I was told I could purchase a static IP from my technician. But I just decided to use Cloudflare DDNS.

I have quantum fiber. 1 Gb up+down. No data cap. $80/mo “price for life.”

The only downside is it’s still IPv6 Rapid Deployment.

I don’t really like the “as intended” take because it fails Hanlon’s Razor. Even Karl Marx understood that Capitalism is doomed to a crisis and revolution cycle, not because that’s what anyone wants, but because it is a law of nature.

The same is true of first-past-the-post voting.

The resolve to tear it down is still plausible though. I don’t know whether it is possible to escape capitalism without a revolution. The alternative is a perfect storm of progressive legislation that seems unlikely to occur in my lifetime.

I’ll move my foot to its dedicated spot in your ass.

Maybe I just don’t think “country” == “government”, and I try to be careful with my phrasing so as not to make blanket pejorative statements about people.

India is pretty much a piece of shit country

All while being racist as hell

Cognitive dissonance much?

What are you talking about? BlueSky has absolutely nothing to do with Facebook. It’s a different company using the open AT Protocol.

Technically it’s an open protocol. Whether or not any other implementations will surface remains to be seen.

Don’t most YouTubers make more money with their own sponsorships than from YT ads? Can we start the mass migration to PeerTube already?

Republicans don’t know the difference between the types of communists.

Why is it in a spoon? 🥄🥄🥄🥄🥄🥄

couldn’t you always just run a Linux VM at near-native speed, and get the benefits of both?

The obvious downside is that Linux is no longer the host OS. MacOS or Windows would be closed source code managing your hardware. And any VM could only be as fast as the host OS allows it to be.

It’s been this way for at least a decade.

I love that the EU is cracking down on tech, but I also wish the US government could get in on that awesome rake.

Rate-limiting could also be applied at the federation level, but I’m less sure of what the implementation would look like. Requiring filters on a per-account basis might be resource intensive.

Why resort to an expensive decentralized mechanism when we already have a client-server model? We can just implement rate-limiting on the server.
