The Xbox one is the Xbox One

Literally just old shit we had in the closet. It’s not pallets of cash, it’s the value of the old equipment that we no longer need to store.

There’s a racist dog whistle

This guys supporters are all republicans wish casting that Dems will support him for some reason.

Apple users do have a choice. Apple isn't the only game in town. If those users disagree with Apple and want Tate shit, they can use a different platform.

Subsistence farming. However:

  1. Farming blows

  2. If everyone has to farm then no one can specialize to do other things

  3. If you think the USA is a car-dependent sprawl that’s terrible for the environment currently, wait until literally everyone has enough land to sustain themselves and requires infrastructure to connect it all

IINA is like VLC but with a nicer interface.

brew is a CLI package manager.

OpenEmu is a great console emulation platform (like retroarch, but with a way better interface that’s designed for a desktop instead of a TV).

If it’s not internet connected it’s not that big of a deal

Centralized communities all turn into what Twitter and Reddit became eventually. They benefits for the owners (money, control) are too great to ignore forever once you’re big enough. Decentralized communities have more resilience, provided no individual server gets too big.

Apple hit a sweet spot with this. x86_64 applications run at acceptable speed (making the transition easy for people who buy the hardware) while not being SO good that there's zero reason for developers to start porting their software.

Not to mention a literal attempted coup.

God forbid you try to look good for your wife 🤷

If you’re running Safari, you’re already running their OS. If Apple wants to spy on you, they’ve already got the means to do so, so you’ve already decided to trust them.

Switching to Chrome or Firefox means trusting one more entity in addition to Apple. This expands your possible exposure.

The US is unique in the 30 year fixed rate. It’s great if you have one, but it can have some externalities and effects like what we see here.

This is still engagement and engagement drives value. Spez wins, unless you leave.

apt dist-upgrade will sometimes resolve this.

He’s actually trying to kill the giant underground spiders

You’re not wrong lol

Did you post a source?

The ideal would be a cooling of the market that puts increases well below the rate of inflation for an extended period (or forever lol)

USD Inflation is ~3% per year currently, which is easy to beat with a high yield savings account. Anything more than 6 months should definitely go into an index fund though.

So instead of what you originally said (that we magicked up extra money for Ukraine), your argument is that we’re using money that we spent anyway, and would keep spending regardless in order to maintain our global standing? Very persuasive.

Those things are still available, they’re just not the only option to the detriment of everyone else. Most people and things should be entering the city by rail, which removes the need for city destroying highways that are ever widening.

Yes, but it’s a bit weird and the interface isn’t designed for it. I keep them separate, but I could see it being useful in a pinch.

They said, while Russia is literally in the middle of doing the sort of invasion NATO is warning against.

Podcasts seem to have figured out monetizing without centralization.

I guess the Nazi camps were fine because they’re closed now?

And I guess “because terrorism” is a good excuse now? I mean, the US has done all kinds of fucked up shit that’s okay by that reasoning. If we had put all Saudis in reeducation camps after 9/11, you would (rightly!) call us fascists, and I’d be on your side!

Edit: that’s not even the “entire Muslim world”, and you know better than to use the boot of governments as a representation of the people.

Putting people is camps is worse than burning some books.

Edit: not even burning them, just ALLOWING people to burn them. In the same way we also let people burn flags. Because that’s speech.

As long as the money is there to grift, people will do so.

FAFO

Yep, and while it’s extremely impressive for a web app, it’s still not quite as smooth as a native one.

That’s enough internet for today

Arguing against that stupid invasion. Fucking obviously. What are you doing other than making excuses?

Why should spez care? If people never leave and keep using the platform, why should he change his actions at all? Users can bitch and moan as much as they like, but they’re doing it using his app and seeing his ads. Even if the entire site turns into nothing but “fuck spez” posts, that doesn’t matter as long as those posts are being made and read.

Point at where I said genocide. I didn’t use that word here because I know it’s contested in this case and I know it has a definition that I’m not interested in degrading. You said that word.

Regardless, this has nothing to do with my point. My point is that if a country is doing $thing, pointing at $otherthing means nothing. You’re deflecting.

Do US people deflect by pointing at China? Yep. Our guys totally deflect when they want to distract from shit. But this post brought it up, so own it.

Dunno what to tell ya bruh 🤷 I was in high school civics telling them it was fuckin dumb and on Warcraft 3 forums doing the same. The fact that it was so stupid and the republicans disavowed it make everyone pretend they were always against it.

Now what’s your stance on PRC authoritarianism against ethnic and religious minorities?

This is still “butt butt-“

No. The sins of another country do not make another’s okay. You call it out. We call out the US all the time, and it deserves it. And so does China.

I use Miniflux + Reeder. It’s really nice.

You’re right. It’s a good thing I’m not trying to explicitly deflect from my country’s sin by complaining about China letting people burn books!

Own your shit. When a nation does bad shit, call it out. Even if they’re in your “camp”. Don’t pull this “yeah but-“ fuck fuck games. This post is saying “well it’s okay that China put Muslims in camps because the West allows book burning.” Fuck off with that.
