So many greebles!

Amazing! Thanks for that. I didn’t know this was actually available to play with.

They just keep innovating! Amazing!!!

Joining a defense initiative with someone who wants to take us over sounds like a bad idea.

But, if it was Europe asking, maybe.

Good. The while thing felt like a scam to begin with.

We can direct all we want and it won’t do anything. Frankly, the voters in the USA made it clear they’re not interested in working together with anyone. Trump supporters have been told for at least a decade how terrible he is, but they were more interested in listening to fox news. A whole group of absentee voters chose not to vote Harris over some vague ideas around Palestine, despite being told Trump would make it worse. Then there’s everyone else who couldn’t get off their ass to vote despite being told this was existential.

My heart does go out to the good people who did vote and are trying to change things. I’m on your side and I wish you well. But I’m sorry to say that there are a lot of people who deserve the shit that’s coming. I’m tired of trying to “work together” through the first trump administration, through COVID, through the trucker convoy, through all the free speech bullshit, through all the reduction in women’s rights and healthcare, through the reduction in trans rights, etc. Nazi punks fuck off!

They also claim to be the solution to high prices and yet we have the most expensive insurance in the country. Conservatives are fucking stupid.

Of course he does. He’s never had a real job.

I haven’t played it in a while but I did enjoy it when I did!

I’m a bit sad they don’t have a base mode (unless it’s been added recently). I miss frantically trying to grab a repair pack to bring up the generator.

Why should Canadians pay to stop something that isn’t happening? Didn’t Lil PP just suggest Canada send the military to the border? So Canadian citizens are supposed to pay for the Canadian military to go to the Canadian border to harass Canadian citizens? Fuck that!

If Trump really thinks there’s a problem he can address it on his side of the border.

Because the mouse is useless with only one button so you have to use the keyboard.

I wish I could upvote this 1000x

They did say Doom Emacs is installed, which includes vim 😅

Since he’s now officially part of the government this is actually censorship.

Cool! I think your intended experience can fuck off if there’s something about it I don’t enjoy.

I haven’t played this game yet so I don’t know if this is the case, but my free time is precious and if I bought the game its my choice how to enjoy it.

Thank the maker for mods!

But I thought privatization is supposed to lower prices!

To keep everyone else in check. Just wait and see. Soon not clapping at a mandatory trump rally will be a felony.

What do you think are the better alternatives? I’m interested in the work others may be doing in federated protocols.

Also remember that protocols need some sort of authority to standardize, and having a reference implementation is extremely helpful.

XMPP ran into issues with too many non-standard extensions leading to feature fragmentation. I remember it being a source of confusion and part of what allowed Google to do the whole embrace, extend, extinguish dance.

Having a company back a protocol is a concern, but not necessarily bad. If the protocol is open anyone is free to fork, just like anyone is free to come up with their own protocol. Getting people to use the protocol is a different challenge as well.

I guess what I’m saying is that you’re right that there are some problems in this space, but as they say, don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Mastodon, Matrix, Lemmy, and Bluesky have all taken is a step in the direction of open federation and have started to introduce that concept to more people. They’re not perfect, but a step in the right direction and way better than the closed centralized systems they loom to replace. There’s still a lot to discover in this space, but in the mean time I see no issue in using any of these things for now.

Not the first time Nazis have been defeated by the cold.

Finally somebody who gets it! How’s an investor supposed to make any money off of other peoples misfortune in this country!?
