Fuck that. Clock noon and solar noon need to diverge less, not more.

Great policy. Misogynistic, racists, liar will say anything for attention, tho.

As long as they can get tzdata / Olsen db updates before the first change, there's usually no problem. But, I'm sure there are still devices out there using the OLD US switchover dates from the Bush era, because they have a different, possibly "hard-coded" rule set.

Society: UHC, the people are rioting because they have no Bread!

UHC:

• Bread DENYed by policy
• Insured encourage to purpose other nutritional alternatives, like Cake.

I don't know about other people, but I tend to drift toward doing things that are fun, comfortable, and familiar, unless I do some "internal parenting". Even if they found a way to make redistributing their wealth fun, they are shaped by capitalism even more than myself, so I doubt they'd find it comfortable or familiar.

That's how I understand it.

I'm going to get comfortable and familiar with community investment of my own resources well before I reach 1B, by intention.

"Kill all billionaires" isn't a genocidal statement, since it's not based on genetics, language, or culture.

I think it's a bad plan, but we shouldn't conflate genocide with mere mass murderous intent. (Also, "all billionaires" is only like 10k people at most, so it would be a very small mass murder compared to most genocides.)

I understand why Queen B or T Swift aren't doing it, but the only moral activity (beyond survival tasks) that a "good billionaire" can be engaged in is redistributing their wealth to marginalized workers.

You can figure out your next album / tour or how to benefit your friends and family once you get to 999M USD.

RCV doesn't need 2 rounds for this. Neither does approval voting.

This is not a problem with voting that needs new ideas to address.

I think you can have a POV without having a body, and you can "be somewhere" based on your POV rather than your body.

But, I also think that probably not the only reasonable guess at what the uploaded experience is like.

If it is possible for the mind to survive the death of the body, I also think uploading would be fine. It's a risk to be sure, but not having a body would actually address a lot of my current disappointments.

If resurrection is possible, I'd like to think the death could be prevented. But, I'll take it if uploading is not available and death of the body is still inevitable.

Any parts that can be used to improve a human life should be used that way. Then any parts that can be used to improve animal/plant life should be used that way. Then the rest should be disposed of in the manner that consumes the fewest resources.

But, I'll be gone; you guys can do whatever with it; I won't care.

That rate seems high. But, I have done post-mortems on a bad developer's run at a company, and found they did very nearly nothing. No commits, no issues opened or closed, some comments, but that was almost their entire digital footprint.

Most developers I've worked with are obviously not doing nothing, though some of us (including myself) get stuck doing a lot of work on a project that never makes it into production due to shifting priorities.

Oh man, just wait until you find out about taxicab confessional https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0114639/

Every time we kiss exchange public keys, I feel like I could fly communicate securely.

It's all I have for proper threading. I won't forgive Reddit for how they treated me and my communities. But, if you are willing to use Reddit, I'm sure it's going the have user advantage (and because of that niche interest advantage) for quite a while. I hope it serves your needs and brings you joy.

You might try building a community here, but that is the "slow boring of hard wood" and it can be difficult to find joy in, especially at first.

We use it as medicine for our dog. And, if you have parasites, it's good in human doses. I think it can also be given prophylactically. I haven't seen any evidence it should be used to treat any virus, respiratory or other.

II think it's entirely possible the world is fucked. Climate crisis won't come during his 2nd administration, but the 4 years we lose in national and international regulation is going to make it impossible to prevent.

It'll be slow, but before 2061, I expect the death of the global Internet, and global shipping, and most air travel. Electrical grids will fracture or fail and the pieces used for smaller (at most regional) grid. Cities won't be able to maintain the sewer pumps, and Cholera will start killing people again. Gas lines will stop maintaining pressure.

I don't plan on sticking around that long. My BP has always been bad, so I figure just indulging my vices will make this no my problem, and I don't have a partner or descendants.

If you prefer not embracing despair, I suggest looking into how you and your dearest can survive without infrastructure. Local food production, local power and medicine production. Don't count on supplies you can't retrieve within a day of travel, and don't count on the state to maintain roads. "Solarpunk" might be a good search term. Also, might prepare for unpredictable shifts in the local climate, like preferring indoor growing.

If anyone has data that says we can avoid climate collapse with no new national or international regulation before 2029, I'd love to hear it. Please.

I never claimed they would use non-voting as a signal for anything, only that they count votes as agreement, not mere tolerance.

Individual politicians and political parties routinely use count a vote as approval. In that way, if no other, voting does serve to support the existing system.

But, even if you believe there must be revolution and the current system CANNOT be reformed, voting is still harm reduction, unless revolution will happen before the results of the election can influence the system.

Peertube is a federated option, and while it's primarily meant as a decentralized replacement for YouTube, many instances include the ability to stream live. https://video.infosec.exchange is the instance I use, but you might benefit from using a larger instance or one that shares an administrative staff with any other ActivityPub-connected things you use (e.g. lemmy.world).
