I dislike the use of the term “cut”.

If I don’t buy food for my family this week can I really brag that I’ve cut my family budget?

this sounds great. thanks for the tip!

I think I already have pinchflat. Didn’t know sponsorblock worked for podcasts. Thanks!

It’s easy to make the mistake of overestimating Trump’s strategy when trying to understand his behavior.

Since getting elected he just doesn’t give a fuck. He’s got a decade to live at best and he get’s to ride it out in luxury with the entire world as his play thing.

He got elected by saying he would implement tariffs, gut government services, and be mean to poor people. He’s been doing exactly those things.

The tariff announcements just stoke angst. Imagine a narcissist being able to fire off a “truth” and the whole world descending in to chaos for a week. That’s it. Like a child poking an ants nest.

Yeah absolutely this.

This is the back down Trump has been hoping for really.

When everything goes to shit he can blame everyone else because he wasn’t allowed to roll out his dumb plan.

Honestly over the last few months I’ve been thinking a catastrophic financial crash might just dethrone trump. Not anymore.

Sadly this was inevitable.

I think it was in the skeptics guide to the universe book, they covered the history of eugenics.

It has a significant history in the US, and loads of ne’er-do-wells were sterilised before eugenics was adopted as a policy by the german nazi party.

They don’t need voters any more.

I don’t think there would be much actual measuring of IQ.

Yeah I don’t really understand the problem TBH.

It’s pretty obvious you’re just there as a prop. So what if you hurt his feelings by declining. Sucking up by throwing yourself under the bus won’t avoid tariffs or invasion or whatever else he decides to do.

I think it’s referring to this:

… but I don’t have time to dig any deeper

She refuses to use pipepipe. IDK why.

This is fucking awful.

I agree that his time at the white house has been a huge success for his personal interests.

However, I don’t think it all went according to plan. I think he really did expect that he could make some government services more efficient. I also think he thought that his actions would ingratiate himself to the right, all over the world. I also don’t think he expected the backlash against Tesla.

I like gogs. Automated backups and then deployment seemed super easy with gogs but not so with gitea.

Gitlab seemed like a heavy weight for my needs.

You do you regarding hosting for friends. I wouldn’t do it. I self host as much stuff as I can and I’m happy to bear the responsibility for my own stuff, but taking responsibility for someone elses stuff and access to that stuff is a whole other level.

One thing I’ve learned over the years, is that making something work today is only a small part of the job. Ensuring that it works every day for the next 5 years is the real challenge.

You might not have noticed my point.

I think the vaaast majority of voters just vote the way they always have. They’re just not engaged. There’s no consideration of who to vote for.

I honestly think it would take either a revolution, or several decades before any other party has a chance.

It would take many decades for a new party to get the recognition.

Most voters probably think Obama is still president.

My SO watches free tier youtube.

Edit: please stop with the alternative youtube client suggestions. I’ve tried. She likes the YT app and the ads. This hill is not worth dying on.

That’s his obvious intention, yes.

There’s still some things that can go wrong for the fascists, but we’re certainly on a trajectory towards eternal leader supreme chancellor Trump.

This guy looks so fucking terrifying. He really does. Reminds me of the aliens in men in black who wore human-suits.

I thought the “war” was pretty much over at this point, they’re just bulldozing any remaining Palestinians.

Quite obviously, you draw the line somewhere between shooting innocent children and risking imprisonment for your self-hosting hobby.

I don’t understand how the nuance can be lost here? There is no slippery slope between managing a docker container on a server and murdering people.

As I have repeated ad nauseum, there is absolutely no benefit to Palestine for reddit admins to take this risk. The nature of federation means that these admins can forego this risk and allow someone else to host that content.

One of the fundamental concepts of activism is to strategically pick your battles. This just isn’t one worth picking.
