it’s somehow even more stupid imo… like… he blabbed about the fact that he had this information and the other guy would have been like “yeah… we know you know… you’re the fucking president”

“you know what worked real well? the metaverse! let’s copy their avatars!”

“ooooh yeah great idea bob! we don’t have any legs either so it’s perfect!”

i’m just gonna quote a couple of sections from the conclusion of the survey here that actual statisticians wrote after analysing their own data:

When having children is viewed as hampering the pursuit of one’s career, self-development, or financial goals, as a capstone to be achieved once these other goals have been reached, women’s wishes for children, or for the number of children they consider ideal, may be deferred to the point of permanence.

… only women with considerable financial resources at their disposal feel confident about pursuing larger families. As a result, and perhaps uniquely among industrialized societies, Canadian fertility outcomes and intentions are highest among the wealthiest women.

research should also focus on more tractable issues such as housing costs or family policy, including child care

$1200/mo for literally everyone else in this discussion seems entirely what we expected

yeah and it’s possible to live on $15 of food per day without internet, electricity, a car

… but we don’t, because it’s not comfortable

like you’re literally saying that if you think raising kids is too much of a financial burden maybe you haven’t considered giving up everything in your life to pay for one

how about no… my bar for having kids (actually i never want kids for so many reasons, but if i did) is not just survival

the amount that any government pays you when you have a child is a pittance compared to the cost of having a child… especially if you want to do more than simply scrape by and have like… christmas, birthdays…

it’ll definitely be replicated in a cargo cult way in every conservative area

or maybe that doesn’t count as cargo cult because they’d understand the reasons it works and specifically not do it that way to “prove” that it doesn’t work

afaik there’s options you can turn on that enable it

search .inputrc and set completion-ignore-case On

“magically know what they want” aka occasionally set you and your files on fire

i prefer not fire

also idk does zsh do this automatically? don’t think i’ve ever had this problem except on legacy AF servers

i mean… unless you don’t tab complete, but then who doesn’t spam tab 30 times every keystroke?

give his companies to a collection of other billionaires (still undeserving but perhaps not a threat to the relative peace we’ve enjoyed) and you’d probably only hear praise for the move

i’d suggest using the CI built into whatever git host you choose: commit a change and CI runs automatically and updates posts

less bot per se, but definitely easier than webhooks or scraping to sync

otherwise known as a weekday

they’re faster in certain circumstances than even a direct fibre afaik (light in a vacuum travels faster than through air so at a certain point you overtake the fibre)

but also, i’m not sure it counts as “avoiding building infrastructure” when it includes things like the australian outback: https://benandmichelle.com/mobile-internet-australia

those places are so remote that we have signs when you enter some of the roads advising that you should not continue alone, that you should have backup fuel, water, and communication… because if you get stuck out there you ain’t gettin phone coverage for probably days on foot!

similar is probably true for many arctic regions

it also happens that by the merits of rich counties paying for most of starlink, developing countries suddenly get access to relatively cheap, fast internet in remote areas - something they’d struggle to provide on their own, given that even electricity can be problematic (and electricity you can fix locally with solar, etc but internet by its very nature requires some kind of backhaul)

also nothing that looks the same for the annoying time when you do have to do some analog copying

no I, l, or | and i usually avoid ‘, “, !, /, (which one was it again?) and a few others that i have set in my password manager

i’ve heard that they’re paid during a shutdown to stop wealthy politicians who don’t need the income from forcing politicians who use their income to live to bend over for them

afaik this is only reddit activity, so they’re going to be able to track anything and everything no matter what privacy addons you’re using if you’re logged in

not multiple bulbs no, but those bulbs have multiple LEDs in them… LEDs only have a single colour, but you can produce variable colour (or colour temperature) bulbs by mixing R/G/B or warm white and cold white

philips hue bulbs for example have red, green, blue, warm white, and cold white LEDs so they can mix any colour or colour temperature

to have variable colour temperature requires a warm white and a cold white LED that get mixed, so they’re always being used at 50% or less (because 50% emission on both is the same brightness as 100% of 1)… commercial fixtures are likely to not give that option and only include a single LED at fixed colour temperature to avoid 2x the parts

post here so you don’t post in /news etc

… then we can block/mute a single place when we get bored AF of narcissistic billionaire spam

yes and no… we don’t have revenue goals, but we have goals for the fediverse and we have the social media critical mass problem: you have to hit a critical mass before you become indispensable… if people try the fediverse and there’s not enough content, they tend to just leave rather than stick with it
