    1. Fair, that one would work.
    2. The aid would have to get out the door quick, if its left on a runway the day of, it aint flying.
    3. Obstrictionist Legislator, nope. And with the full GOP governemt they are already planning of flipping the switch on absentee appointments, which haven’t been allowed since Obama.
    4. Fair, but even retaining damning classified info wont sway any minds, so why bother.

    Point being, the things that can be done are minimal, other than being petty and spiteful (and leaving trump an upper-decker in the ovel office restroom, that one just something I would do).



  • My last expirence with XMPP is very dated, my old groups in EvE online used it and it was perfect for its role as a sort of internet pager to summon the horde of nerds. Im aware there are many new related projects, discounting it seems a bit premature now, if you have any recomendations I would love to read their docs.

    My concern is that I would have to pitch what ever project we landed on to a semi-technical group of gamers with a handful of admins to run things. (Trying to avoid a platform that gen-z would complain about, and they already roll their eyes at me when I mention spaceships and spreadsheets).





    1. you didn’t read the post you are replying to.

    2. your stance is irritatingly naive.

    If pro-palestine single-issue voters sink the Harris ticket there is a real chance they wont get to vote again. If perfection is allowed to be the enemy of progress you will inadvertantly elect the regressive party. A party helmed by a guy who has said publicly on multiple interviews he would sic the national guard or military on protestors, undesierables and political rivals.

    It is frustrating to have to keep going over this, either the correct choice is made by the US citizenry and the status-quo continues (as poor as that may be) or the guard rails of democracy are dismantled by a wanabe dictator and your prefrences wont be asked of you again.

    Dito, fixing interesting problems is fun. My main issue is that we have had a caroucel of bosses (4 in the last 4 years) and the current one gets a C-. Half the team does not trust them due to drama with the previous manager and the they keep trying to make it so the different team members specialize in different tasks (everyone used to be trained to do everything). I like the job and the company, but its one or two step removed from “Office Space” levels of corpo whohash.



  • There are plenty of nerds here on Lemmy to help, but some advice first.

    • What is the system intended for? (Gaming, CAD, editing, programming, Facebook machine?) This isnt just so we can advise better, but also to get you to state what you need this tool for. Its a tool at the end of the day.

    • Will it need to be moved? This is where your going to have to weigh the factors in your life, because if you need to move the device, a laptop may be a better, but the entire device is not moduler (usually, Framework laptops and a few other manufacturers like to do stuff like that).

    • Lastly, care to share what you planned/built? There are plenty of nerds on Lemmy who would love discussing stuff like that. (Shameless plug, one of those nerds is me)

    Yah… That used to be me… I try to keep in touch, dip my toe in the pool every year or so, go to the conventions and such. Almost 10 years ago I wrote my alliances auth system in Ruby on Rails, included those identicons you see as the old default profile pictures on github as the avatars on the internal forum and you couldent change then. The reason for this was that the token for the icon was your name and the posters mashed together so if a screenshot leaked we could reverse lookup who said what.

    We never actually caught any spies with that, but that was the level of paranoia and planning that went into a crappy mid-sized group, in the game of today there are actual armies of 10k angry nerds. They are much more casual about it though, which is healthier for the players.
