nomecks,

Because your whole argument ignores reality. Any politician who makes some drastic change will get voted out and someone who will undo any made progress will be voted in.

Countries in Europe didn’t magically flick a switch and get good public transit. Their whole societies have been shaped since pre-world war 2 to where their populace is on board. Incremental change for 70 odd years was needed. They also didn’t have their whole train network get bought and destroyed in the 40s and 50s.

Your opinions are valid and stupid at the same time. Nobody is going to argue that public transit is bad, it’s just completely unfeasible in a lot of places without a lot of incremental change first. Nothing of this scale happens without buy in from the larger population.

I think open source is a very Star Trek-ish Idea, so it’s natural that people from that community like a show with similar values.

Pretty much every car repair channel starts off good, then quickly changes to fixing exotic cars that nobody can afford.

How often to you bail on a half-written post or response?

I have had a tendency since my earliest days on social media where I will get halfway or more through a response, and end up just cancelling it. Sometimes I feel like I’m just being to over the top with snark or otherwise don’t want to be that kind of person, but a lot of the time I’ll decide I just really don’t care...

nomecks,

Far less than on the other site. I’ve been trying to commit in order to grow the Fediverse, even if I’ve got a few garbage hot takes. I will say, my shit comments seem to get way more responses than my good ones.

Building it first is far more important than building it right.

What country are you in, and how do you define “conservative”?

nomecks,

We have poorly regulated private insurance, and ambulance chasing lawyers are everywhere driving up costs.

Hail insurance sucks here. It’s almost guaranteed to hail at least once a summer.

Oh great, it’s the bean police

The problem is that terriers are very susceptible to Kushings disease, which can lead to very irratic behavior. That’s manageable when it’s a 20lb Boston Terrier, but horrifying when it’s a 60 lb terrier of any type.

I’m sure there’s no actual juvenile humor in the armed forces.

Your atoms now occupy the same space as the air atoms. How exactly is this not going to result in nuclear tomfoolery?

Canadian prairie cities were allowed to essentially build nearly homogenous office space in their cores. It’s no shock at all they’re suffering now. Calgary just built its first (First!!) mixed use high rise, ever.

  3. Sue Tesla for damaging my share value, as it was a profitable market

Shareholder primacy for the win!

The actual truth is Star Fleet is all infiltrators, but no infiltrators know that, and they don’t want to blow their cover

You can enable static website hosting on an AWS S3 bucket as long as it’s a simple page. At that point it’s paid for by the click, if you get enough visits to exceed the free tier.

I had one and it was great. I rode a scooter everywhere at the time, and I could pull this out of my pocket, let it spring open and stick it up inside my helmet for some easy one hand to hands free calls.

Clipshare: Copy anywhere, paste anywhere, end to end encrypted (github.com)

If you have enough data: Tapes. Tapes are so hilariously cheap to keep. Write them and keep them in a fire proof box. No power needed to keep platters spinning. 45TB/tape!

Why Mozilla is betting on a decentralized social networking future (techcrunch.com)

The mission-driven tech company behind the Firefox browser, Pocket reader and other apps is now investing its energy into the so-called “fediverse” — a collection of decentralized social networking applications, like Mastodon, that communicate with one another over the ActivityPub protocol.
