Huh, so I’ve always disliked funkopoops but just because I didn’t like the mass production design and they were made in China with no evidence trying not to be made with slave labor.

Now I have a new reason

It’s not the US. Those aren’t Americans. He’s putting America first and above places like Taiwan.

China was SO scared of us though, knocking in their boots, that he was able negotiate THE BEST trade deal with China. Since ever. No other country has ever had as good as deal, and he negotiated out of old deals with Taiwan that were making us poor

Or some BS like that.

He can’t just be tough on China he has to “win”.

Idk the economy crashed during his presidency and people still believe it was Bidens fault and a return to unchecked mergers, dumping debt into the economy, and trade wars will help.

It’s not about reality it’s about the story.

Trump isn’t given enough ego bait from China to not rally against them to feed his base. If he can spin it as “the beat deal” he will do it.

Distrobox. Building weird projects is nicer when I can start from a fresh system each time.

Any open projects you could point to on the subject or articles about the government efforts? I would love to learn more on that!

I will say I worked one job where we had to submit network changes which was supposed to be checked by 5 different network engineers and then implemented.

Those 5 people would take a couple months just to fuck up my requests every gd time.

Yeah her comment that basically saying bullshit like this almost SOLEY to justify layoffs is pretty deprived is right on the money

I think you can point to a file instead too

For real. Dude seems to think people can jack around and do nothing in office

Tbh sounds yet another “if we lived in another society this would be great” how much money is spent trying to measure, manage and control people doing the actual work?

Honestly though make an opensource version of this and run in it within the team, make the results public to the team and it’s a great tool to motivate coworkers and make sure they are working without needing a manager (as often at least) to assign KPIs and get status reports.

Energy independence is one of my favorite reasons for it. Getting actually invest and own my power generation vs being stuck in a subscription with a corporation who is subject to geopolitical movements on where, how and when they can buy their fuel.

Crazy to see right winger, pepper types sometimes (not all of them) get sucked into being a liberal thing lol. Like is it a liberal thing to want to own my house or car too? What a weird thing to think

To discover and adhere to an objectively moral life.

Yeah. I feel like last year is the best full year to have near perfect surveillance of any point or moment. Most actionable data would be found then.

Gamejams! They always look like a blast especially if your goal is just getting something started.

Con: Fertility value sky rockets resulting in either a society led by the fertile or led to force the fertile to breed. Ala hands maid’s tale. Con: hand maid’s tale

Or at least community cooperatives. Having no voice or say in how your fixed infrastructure is operated is asking to be exploited

“Hey I’m going to buy your location data tonight.”

“I like to know where you go on Thursdays”

This what Google, Facebook, X, your ISP, and the junk apps on your phone actually get from you, and everyone around you when you use their creepy apps.

Hit me up on Mastadon, use Tor, use DDG, we should have an restraining order against these creeps. Worse yet they don’t just want it for themselves they sell and share it with company, countries, anyone they like, and don’t tell you.

This is how I WANT to talk about because it’s how I feel. Their just strangers, I wouldn’t tell a stranger on the street any of this. I feel like this is such a fringe thought for people though.

Right. It’s the difference between I’ve been to Holland and I’ve lived in Springfield Missouri and I am at Holland right now and my house in Missouri is currently unoccupied and full of valuables.

Time of info can make a heck of a difference

Yes and no right? Again randomness or “temperature” is pretty standard

“The same thing every day” is likely to appeal to few.

The echo chamber effect or honestly the worse effect showing just the worst of people you disagree with, is a real issue though. Kind of an effect of selection bias though too
