@feld right, and OPEC Used to be able to swing oil prices really hard, with nasty results in the 1970's, which eventually led to various agreements with them *as well as* the interest in efficient cars in the US at the time.

The *potential* is still there, but OPEC hasn't been too disciplined lately

The market's going to do what the market's going to do, and a lot of the "Green New Deal" was aimed at making it a soft landing for ordinary Americans

And the Republicans as a party just hate anything that might make life easier for you

@feld encouraging alternate fuels within the US would be sufficient for that, Saudi Arabia is only the second largest oil producer in the world.

@feld nah, That Fucking Guy just doesn't know how to run a country.

Proof that not all experience is created equal

@feld Luigi should get off because he didn't do it.

We're getting the hard sell in the media that he's the guy, and that should be making *everyone* suspicious, but for some reason it isn't

@roadriverrail there's certainly issues intrinsic to the federated model at play, but you are right that there are also UI improvements needed.

I only use the web interface for my primary instance (even on mobile), so I am definitely not an expert on what works best

And I don't use lists at all, I just take my feed as it comes

@roadriverrail I don't think there's a "should" about this one, not really.

It's not like we all need to set ourselves a quota.

I just think we should be aware that when we take an action like following a link to a story, that's a little bit of pressure.

One click is nothing, it won't even show.

Thousands, or tens of thousands, of clicks starts to become a sign that web admins can take notice of.

A thing that people can do to get media companies to take Mastodon more seriously: click the links.

@deFractal @deivudesu @markhurst @pluralistic honestly, when FB did the force feed and removed the ability to set chronological feed was when I removed their JS permission.

@kevinmirsky @Infoseepage @SecurityWriter yeah, having Norwegian heritage is another thing they make it rough to celebrate.

Why couldn't they have decided the Greeks were cool or something?

@feld I've got a case of dancers and a copy of The SongThat Never Ends between a pair of infinity mirrors

@feld well, it's going to suck. There's a lot of people in the red and orange areas and they can't all move

It's a problem that's going to have to be dealt with in various ways in place.

Which probably means the expensive water treatment solutions in your other comment, and hoping that with practice we can find ways to bring the cost down

@feld yeah, that's not going to happen.

Just going to have to treat the water

[e]I suppose that's one of the consequences

@crankylinuxuser @pluralistic Democrats can be bullied into doing the right thing, Republicans can't

This also means that Democrats can be bullied into doing the wrong things, it's a competitive landscape

@patrickcmiller too late.

@b0rk interrupting password entry with ctrl-c or ctrl-\ frequently leaves the terminal in a no-echo mode so you can't see what you are typing

The reset command usually fixes most terminal issues, but you might need to type ctrl-m instead of return for it to take

@feld apart from what you already found, I think asterisk supports XMPP as well as SIP, so it might work

Config is non-trivial, but usually makes sense

@patrickcmiller there's an obvious, simple solution to this problem

Don't train on unvetted data from random sources

Did people forget GIGO?

Or is all this AI hype wishful thinking ang pixie dust?

@patrickcmiller SQL injection attacks continue to be a major issue. Despite having been well described and having solid countermeasures available for decades now

@clacke the gravy in question is. You make a white sauce in the pan you fried breakfast sausage in using milk to deglaze it

It's amazing that it works

@clacke it's a very particular creme sauce, but yes
