Web developer. Lead developer of PieFed
That’s an interesting choice of sample.
95% of the time it’s
Back when I was on Windows and still in denial about the inevitability of my switch to Linux I went on a long rant about how much harder it is to install a font on Linux than on Windows. You sound like me in 2005.
In tropical countries I carry an umbrella everywhere. It’s much better than a hat because it has more airflow and provides more shade.
This addresses some really difficult and long-standing problems and I really look forward to seeing the result.
I’ve had my eye on FIRES for some time and this funding will take it from fringe niche thing to the big time.
Yes, it is on a PieFed instance. So: flairs, hashtags, emoji reactions, mods equipped with the tools they need and so on.
Pretty weird to do this out of the blue. Feels like she’s trying to frontfoot something big that’s about to come out.
No I’m just saying you might as well give up on that dream - the regime will have more support than ever, now.
help the Iranians overthrow the despots
The time to do that was before bombing hundreds of Iranian children. And civilian infrastructure. Way too late now.
I am very surprised that Australia and New Zealand did not wean themselves off fossil fuels decades ago, given they are developed countries with wealth and skills and democracy.
After everything that has happened, Iran cannot trust any deals.
Iran will not reopen the strait until the whole world knows that attacking Iran is not worth it. They need to inflict enough pain so that decades from now future US presidents remember what happened.
We are a long way from that.
It’d stop them launching ships to lay mines, or launching midget submarines and naval drones, which is a start. It might keep the Iranians too busy fighting on land to aim at ships. It’d basically be an open wound for USA though - completely unsustainable.
Then there’s the fantasy of naval escorts for tankers. Each tanker would require a couple of ships to shadow them (anti-air, anti-sub, anti-drone) for the entire length of the gulf (not just the strait) and in normal times 120 tankers pass through there every day. You’d need a fleet ~400 ships strong, running 24/7 (no repairs or rest). And it only takes one hit from an anti-ship missile and hundreds of sailors die. So that ain’t happening.
It’s a trap.jpg
To do that they’d need to occupy 1000+ kms of extremely rugged coast. That’s quite a commitment…

Would you agree that a post written by a LLM is “low effort”?
Hosting a fediverse instance is at the higher end of the scale when it comes to hosting. There tend to be a lot of moving parts as it’s complex software.
Host a static site first, just a bunch of plain HTML files.
Then host a Wordpress site.
Then host a fediverse thing.
Yes although what tends to happen is the capitalists just take MIT licenced code and make bank off it.
This is all moot now that LLMs can launder the code anyway.
Only if you use GPL, not MIT.
I have this printed out and stuck to the fridge
