@irenes @aredridel (to be clear, it is LITERALLY just a dashboard for scripts that install and configure prebuilt docker-and-reverse-DNS-fully-configured containers. But it's way easier than learning docker/docker-compose, and a good way to learn good docker/compose by example once you're making changes or submitting new packages)

the thing LK99 taught me was the power of open source science, and accessible woodshed experiments

so many people decided to replicate it because you could at home.

we need more of that. imagine if we did that for pcr testing or other things.

I think it might actually have been more revolutionary than a room temperature superconductor would be, if we can figure out how to harness it.

it came up again so here's your reminder:

"10x coder" is a weaselword for "hired under-level"¹

¹: if they aren't incompetent and having the team clean up after them

the funny thing is I would gladly click ads to give people money in exchange for their website, if they were unobtrusive and didn't have a 70% chance of just outright being malicious and a 10% chance of outright being an exploit

right now if you get clickthrough ad revenue it's from people who don't know not to click the ads.

and idk why we put up with yet another industry that exploits older people and those who don't have the education/knowledge/experience to vet them

sometimes i forget not to ask questions where they'll be answered by people who do not read them

@inthehands if you look at voting patterns, most of those people end up voting once it actually becomes time. But yeah after 8 cycles bluffing sorta loses it's power.

i don't like the sitch we're in, but, well.

@inthehands

(but a lot of the leadup to primaries is going to have rhetoric like that, because they think (and there's truth to it, though from observation, 60%) it will make the politicians try to actually represent constituents instead of... whatever it is they'll do. but it hasn't worked the last 30 times)

@inthehands @amaditalks

it's about picking your opponents, and who would require the least fighting so you can actually get the work done.

did i hallucinate it or was there an episode of babylon 5 where there was someone searching for the Holy Grail.

actually on second thought it might have been Andromeda and if so nevermind

@thomasfuchs twitter ALREADY HAD cashtags for stock tickers??? this is going to be a bloodbath lol

"lotta folks staying with Twitter to cling to their follower count" is very telling that you're still stuck in twitter brain, y'all. they're sticking there for their people, you know, the ones you keep abstracting into numbers

@mcc yeah reading through the leaked anti trans emails I'm baffled how easy it is to transparently launder slander that way

tangential gripe: every article written about a study that links neither the journal article nor writes the title

if someone tells you The Garg has never considered quote boosts, I accidentally found https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/16597386 while trying to figure out how to block-quote
