@skinnylatte yet somehow they failed to lose their food culture.

I still haven't worked out exactly what happened in the British Isles (and US) to almost completely destroy their preexisting food culture. It wasn't just rationing, obviously.

@skinnylatte super-villain thinking is one of the intellectual traps the left seems to be unable to stay out of. The bad guys just aren’t that good at what they do.

@skinnylatte though the collapse of the US foreign affairs apparatus and its embrace of nationalist authoritarianism has probably freed them up to be more openly awful than previously.

@mhoye I'm dealing with a system with a full AWS deployment costing hundreds per month for maybe 250 transactions a day.

It's a booking system for four small sites.

@jeffowski nah, what ruins the hobby is shit like this.

@ChrisMayLA6 one issue with that: the rich have *always* had (almost always un acknowledged) good luck.

@girlonthenet I'm convinced they're all in a race to destroy anything good left about the UK. Fuck knows there isn't much for them to do now.

I don't know why though. It's not just selfishness or asset stripping, half the time there's no money to be made.

Maybe they're just so shrivelled inside after doing what you have to do to get power these says that they destroy anything good out of resentment.

@pattykimura but of course she doesn’t care about actual facts: the key here is to leverage transphobic panic to enforce “traditional” stereotypes on women.

@goatsarah @cstross @danjac I suspect you’ll find you’re several orders of magnitude short. They might be the rare case where hydrogen makes some sort of sense.

@thanius I presume the drive is monetisation. Hard to get that off text.

@goatsarah American tech journalists for whom it’s not American enough.

@patrickcmiller so if someone leaks real nudes I can blithely deny them?

@cstross except that everything I hear still indicates that 3D printing is a hobby of its own and not, to me, an appealing one.

What’s the over-under on when the people calling for Mastodon/Fediverse to implement everything Twitter did start complaining that Mastodon has become just like Twitter?
