exactly! like my brain holds intelligence… some!

to be fair a lot of them are overpowered humans, or gifted swordsmen.

i dont recall a bunch of ‘normie randomly picked up a sword and cuts a head clean off’… but my memory holds things like water in a cheese grater

they literally have laws to allow themselves to insider trade the stock market. which poor senators are you talkin about here?

hahahah this is like when ceos take that 1$ salary… you know it aint about the fucking salary.

nah… slow and painful works for me.

ha, what a piece of shit. even his own party is going to override this. i wonder if his own election was won on something these new rules would mitigate.

dunno… do all idiots who happen upon a single jerk assume the entire half of the population behaves that way?

asking for illinois

it sucks that this is the new normal.

early shakedown by the fascist in chief?! this cuz they are going to lose the house?

youre not wrong. the signal has been lost on lemmy largely because ex-redditors flooded the fediverse with empty communities. soo many empty communities.

‘subreddits’/communities/magazines/groups should be created out of necessity to extract a specific signal (‘sub:toy building’) from a general-purpose feed (sub:‘general’)

then theres the whole distributed nature of the network issue which makes ‘auto subscription to general content’… interesting.

you should check out the new Nova episodes on dogs and whether the dog buttons we train them on can be considered communicative.

its owned an run by a nazi who is best friends with a presidential fascist currently destroying all public media.

ya think?!

what planet are you on now? cuz i dont think we are on the same one.

anti-trans sentiment is still alive and well, and default for much of the planet im on.

the issue is that its very old. when running it, you will use a ton more electricity and be a lot slower than even a 5-8 year old unused retail box/workstation.

yes, you could throw ubuntu on there and it will work fine. then you could toss docker on there and play with some container apps for the kids maybe… like a mintecrafter server.

but, like i said, youd be better off digging a more recent workstation out of some garbage can and doing the same thing.

e. ha, just checked that is a desktop/workstaton box…i thought you were talkin a real HP server… they have much larger power requirements. that little box you have there would be fine for a little mini server for light apps.

pulease. long term plannig my asshole.

the modern world is littered with the failures to ‘long term plan’. i remeber thinking the world would be run by sears, ibm and xerox

the world has shifted to ‘just in time’ supply chains… warehousing is considered liability. the wealthy people youre referring to have globally diversified… it would take actual catastrophe to affect them because when youre that rich even a recession is opportunity.

these corps are run by humans who have sold out. they only care about the next quarter… the next bonus check.

the world is far more fragile than those in nice comfy cities could ever imagine

to mitigate real disaster on a global scale would take solving for human greed. good luck.

we were grabbin apps in the usenet binaries by the mid-late 80s

your zip code is prolly a bigger influence than anything

more of a rant than a showerthought… but i guess if this is what runs through youre head when youre wet…
