The Quuuuuill

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

only one that comes close is Andrew Jackson

this is what fascists do. they keep showing up places until they find a place that doesn’t know to kick them out. then they take it over.

No buyers. It’s filled with lead, cheese wax, and lust for his own daughter

and the twisted old heart filled with hate

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

gotta earn the boss that golden parachute

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:

• a wiki
• a static indexable searchable forum
• a live chat place for real time communication for novel problems

too many projects these days only have that last one in the form of discord

and with this regime, those disciplinary actions will be promotions

more like 200

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?

anticommunists: communism is bad because a central authority sets the price of evertything

also anticommunists: a central authority should set the price of everything

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.

It always was, is, and will be about slavery.

yup. that’s how we know why dictators do this. millennia of precedent. they’re little losers on their insides so they have to project power outwardly and make themselves inescapable. they start by going after the most vulnerable people in society because their strength is a lie. they fear going after someone strong will reveal their truth

what a fuckin’ loser. also. so we’re clear, he’s trying to make his face inescapable so you can’t ignore him
