Moccamaster makes a great pot of coffee 😗👌

@Humpleupagus @lord_nougat @KidKnievel it wasn't the matching lavaliere mic on his collar that was the tip-off 🤔

@icedquinn

Are the emails all announcements it has been renamed to synthmain?

@7666 @phnt

The enforcement is perfectly consistent. Always against the people they don't like, never against the people they do like. What's hard to understand about that?

They don't try to kill you because you're a nazi, they call you a nazi to justify trying to kill you.

@gabriel Dang, sorry to hear that.

Cursive is just formalized handwriting slop. It is designed for the sole purpose of not having to expend the effort of lifting a pen 1mm off the paper between letters, and in the process makes the output completely inscrutable to anyone familiar with only the standard alphabet. Mury Rothbard's last manuscript couldn't be published because he hadn't finished typing it from his chicken-scratch scrawl and nobody else in the world who cares to try could decipher it until some savant (or, who can say, perhaps a charlatan) picked it up a quarter-century later and said he could read it fine. What kind of writing system is that? You've been played for absolute fools.

@icedquinn as a kid: why are adults so obsessed with the 50s and 60s. As an adult: I would rather watch tng on an infinite loop for the rest of my life than all the nuslop they're churning out these days.

@snacks @coolbean @DeutscherWetterdienst Heat tide then?

@wafflesies

Hey, it's you 🤯 good stuff 👍

The problem with nextcloud is the 'other tools' that you can add to it as apps are pretty sub-par. If you're comfortable admining a nextcloud instance, you probably just want to spin up better stand-alone tools too, and if you're doing that, then nextcloud is awfully bloated for just a filestore. My experience with it in the homelab was that performance was poor as well. I do use a hosted instance of nextcloud for a nonprofit I'm involved with, and it works well on beefier cloud infra, but we don't really do anything with it except file storage.

@SuperDicq @sun

He was tip of the spear on age verification too. That was also just reading publicly available passed/proposed legislation, but nobody else in tech news seems to be reading anything besides press releases so 🤷♀️ I'm glad somebody's out there doing it.

@sun @Nudhul @ElDeadKennedy

Groups would be a nice alternative to spinning up whole new instances. That google+ thing a while back was actually pretty comfy.

@icedquinn @sun @Ree

Except that now you can ask AI to train you 🤷♂️

@lain It is not enough to not be greedy, you must be activity anti-greedy.

@icedquinn @Ree @sun

luddites at least had a labor and capital point

The Luddite's point was completely wrong tho. Rather than mechanical looms cutting 90% of textile jobs, their introduction expanded textile jobs several-fold over the next 2 decades. Clothing prices were lowered enough to introduce fashion to the middle and lower classes for the first time, resulting in a massive and permanent rise in the demand level.

Correlary: Once AI can manufacture ram for us, the prices will be rock-bottom.

People really out here thinking this is how market prices work.

@josh the best food group.
