I feel ya, but the Trump administration expects that the global, local, and market response will be gradual. As soon as they start seeing quick responsive volatility that impacts Trump or his cronies, they TACO.

Given what’s happening with Venezuela, Greenland and the Fed Chair, I don’t know we’re not aggressively talking pulling out of US bonds and setting investment policy around that. That doesn’t have to be a gradual thing, it can happen swiftly.

People naturally started backing out of US bonds when Trump’s crazy tariffs started rolling out, and the Trump admin totally wussed out on a lot of that stuff.

Also, if the world is going to stop pegging their currencies to the dollar, they need to stop buying US bonds first. They need to diversify.

Don’t forget utter incompetence.

The global community has agency, and it should really start to create plans for things like getting currencies off of the US dollar.

I’m only on Lemmy for the fresh dressage content.

lol. It actually happened?

What the fuck is this timeline?

But competition IS good for me.

If people start migrating to better experience and better communities, they’re going to have to step up to stop the bleeding.

Reddit can get away with making terrible user experiences and killing 3rd party solutions because no alternative has lured enough of their base away.

Chromebooks and cloud gaming come to mind.

Anything that takes users away from Reddit, and forces Reddit to compete, is a plus for me.

Every 5 years someone invests a bunch of money into thin clients, and then we’re right back where we started.

I’ll believe it’s possible when America’s networking infrastructure isn’t covered in holes.

Any bets on how long it will take before someone cross references this list with the J6 pardon list, then publishes the findings?

The Hague:

For me to poop on.

Thanks. I’ll check it out.

What are some other good open alternatives to GIMP?

Having been in the design trade for 20 years, I’ve mastered countless design applications, but GIMP’s UI is something I have always struggled with.

My goto these days has been photopea when I need something fast and free… but it’s not open and it’s ad supported.

I’m accustomed to BART’s higher passenger to fentanyl-turd ratio.

Wait. NYC doesn’t have those already?

The people on the ground won’t do this. The people working in the parks hate Trump.

They issue these cards face down in the desk.

Mmm. Chunks.

My big problem is that Lemmy lacks sizable niche communities right now. The big topics get foot traffic, but the small stuff struggles.
