Not going away, massive staff reductions, AI will always require a domain expert to review the work done is up to quality standards. I've had ChatGPT fuck up simple bash scripts I've provided and asked it to expand on functionality, to which it broke functions already existing and made half formed functions that did nothing. -

This isn't normie-proofed enough. You need to mandate a .txt being downloaded with the 12 word seed and some sort of hash that has to be entered into the UI prompt providing the 12 word seed on Soapbox to confirm it was downloaded. I was going to recommend E-mail but then I remembered that Nostr clients are meant to be run like programs on your desktop, not hosted webservices. Every single Mr Magoo retard is going to be fucking this up and bothering you to recover their account because they were too stupid or lazy to write it down. Make it a file that they get on their computer. -

It has a docker image and its just a matter of setting up nginx to host it. Nitter is very lightweight. I don't use the docker image because I wanted a few features that are just idling in the pull request queue. -

You should never be using a public Nitter instance for RSS feeds, let alone the flagship Nitter instance, its bad form. Nitter takes all of 20mb of ram to run so if you wanted RSS feeds beyond one or two you really should run one yourself. -

@feld They forget the whole child porn saga in 2002 and the people he was associating with. -

But it isn't. Because of the open standards you have other networks tied into Nostr and vice versa. Apparently Minds is networked in and obviously Mostr brings in the Fediverse. Its just that Nostr has even worse discovery issues than even the Fediverse.
I think Nostr has a lot of advantages over the Fediverse and in the long run would probably end up being adopted much more, I saw some guy trying to shoehorn in Fediverse interoperability to Gitea, the problem being that nobody wants to create an account on each and every Gitea or Gitlab site. Using Nostr identity solves the whole Forum / Git / Self-hosted whatever problem since normies will just be able to use the same identity to register at places. -

@sjw How big of setup is this guy running if he is in Cali and can be heard all the way in Tennessee and Chicago? I didn't know CB could transmit that far like some of the shortwave bands. -

The spike in 2021 had nothing to do with tariff rates, it had everything to do with the lockdowns shutting down "non-essential workers." https://www.woodworkingnetwork.com/news/canadian-news/coronavirus-forces-curtailments-four-major-canadian-lumber-mills the same thing happened with oil but for different reasons, there was a massive glut and the prices went negative since demand was cut so dramtically, so huge amounts of wells were shut down. The lockdowns were one of the most shortsighted idiotic things ever done to an economy and the boomerang effect clubbing people in the face should have been expected. -

>The dollar is going to lose its power, the only question is if we start a war over it
That would merely increase the speed that it loses its power. The problem is the United States using the mailed fist to punch everyone rather than the velvet glove to caress. The sanctions on Russia using the banking sector were such a geopolitical fiasco that it will be regarded as one of the major pivot points in history when being studied a half century from now. The whole Ukraine thing has been an unmitigated disaster of American foreign policy, the coup was absolutely unnecessary and ever action afterwards by the deepstate has only made it worse.
Its absolutely amazing that Trump has been the best foreign policy President since Bush Sr, merely by just doing zero obviously stupid offensive actions that would piss off other nations. -

The source is some Technocracy movement of the from the post WW1 period until maybe the mid 1930s. It was considered an illegal movement in places like Canada, and the UK, people got arrested all the time for it, apparently Elon Musk's grandfather was a member and got arrested for it in the 1930s. -

Technology can solve social problems, but one has to be grounded in their expectations, sometimes the solution is far worse than the problem. -

Almost certainly the root cause of the issue is people scraping the site because the API access is cost prohibitive for any group that isn't involved in marketing and advertisement. No hobbyist is going to be forking that kind of money out. Same nonsense with Reddit's API costs. -

Reboot characters were stiffly animated in the initial seasons but towards the end it was animated quite decently. They chose a smart art style and character design to hide the technological shortcomings of the time period. -

It looks like all of the Kbin and Lemmy instances that are accepting users are absolutely crushed by the stampede, none of them load for me to dick about with. -

The last time we had a surplus is because Bush Sr raised taxes right as the dot-com era took off. Bush Sr got absolutely savaged in the elections for repudiating his "No New Taxes" pledge. Clinton merely rearranged the tax brackets for better returns, though all of this happened with a Republican House, the actual body responsible for spending anyway, President gets way too much flak for the atrocious job the House of Representatives does for budgeting. The figure of the national debt commonly talked about is useless anyway, it will always be larger because of inflation over the years. A dollar in 1900 went a lot farther than a dollar does today.
I'm not exactly sure what would make a better measurement though... debt-to-gdp has the problem of being variable because of the Fed rates changing. The large national debt figure will mostly be dissolved by inflation, which is why focusing only on the immediate payments is more pragmatic a measuring stick. -

At the end of all of this can you write up a news article detailing all of the various changes and other mitigation required? Everything is split across a dozen random posts and replies at all hours of the day, having a detailed news article on the feed explaining what happened, how and why such changes are to done would be highly helpful, not just for the immediate timeframe but for new admins months from now. -

I do not deny that the market can go to shit rather quickly and harder than anyone expected. But its unlikely that looting Target in the same manner would be effective since corporate real estate is in a huge glut right now, particularly office real estate. Some asshole can try selling off the property but its unlikely to get buyers for decades since brick and mortar store retail is dying off hard.

Downsizing unprofitable segments of the company is nowhere near the same thing as a deliberate plan of destruction from the outset. Eddie Lambert owned 26% of the holding company and his Hedge Fund owned another 25%, there was zero ways for the shareholders to challenge him. Target is still a public company and such schemes would get defeated.
