by my experience mostly straight eastern europeans. everyone else either started on something else or they moved off telegram because they didn’t feel like they could trust it

elon musk in business deal with russian oligarch again. nothing is new

you underestimate how shortsighted republicans are

then let your clients fill in the blanks, even if that’s letting them believe this is your first time. unless you think you can charoe extra for that. then do

the key was all the transluscent cases on electronics. the future was optimistic and we were excited to see it. then came the brushed aluminum era when everything became boring again, like the beige plastic era, just more expensive.

oh that’s easy. the VW execs were under the jurisdiction of a country that gives a fuck and knows what the consecuences of unchecked greed are. the bankers were under the jurisdiction of a country that thinks maybe a little bit of fascism wouldn’t be so bad, all things considered

it’s only swearing if someone finds it offensive.

shit for brains authority figures would rather i call them poop for brains. doesn’t really matter that i’m saying there’s 8 pounds of defecate rattling around in their skulls. it matters that i said a no-no word from before the Norman invasion of england in 1066

it’s not perfect, but i’ve just been gathering interesting links into my org roam notebook

I don’t even trust non-unlockable bootloaders. There’s so much planned obsolescence everywhere

there’s a difference between using irc for livetime troubleshooting and not having a forum at all and directing everyone to your livechat discord. i’m sure some sicko out there has run an OSS project on only IRC, but their project likely got no traction because a history of problemsolving posts is important in open source. generally speaking, you need:

that trajectory leads to Antix to give you full control over every decision and then from there to debian or devuan because all that decision making is exhausting, can’t the machine just work and only update when there’s security patches?

we could do something crazy like create new IPs

the ship would be put in the kline bottle upon the kline bottle’s creation

still haven’t figured out we’re all whores in a capitalist society

thank you

was this… not how it worked before?

Assuming it was common knowledge to don’t be a nazi is how we got all these nazis running around

that’s amazing! humanity is incredible. this is all we actually want

it’s the social features and the network effect. if you want to make a playlist and share it with your friends the easiest way to get them to listen to it is to host it on spotify. also blends, collaborative playlist, jams, and now listening all provide the illusion of connection through a shared listening experience. and it’s not so much that these things are better than what we used to have for sharing music, it’s that corporations have all killed our ways of sharing music. that’s what they really hated about groove shark. artists made more money in the groove shark era, but umg, sony, and warner didn’t control how we shared on it.
