I assume it’s more about the parents high-fiving each other over really sticking it to the man or something. It’s just one of the results of rampant anti-intellectualism. The kids are just a random collateral in that circlejerk of those brake pads of evolution.

Pro-life is just an euphemism for “control over women”. Nothing more, and that resolves that weird contradiction.

It’s usually when they can stand by themselves that I decide they’re due.

No, no, I am kidding, however a week of normal office use, yeah, sure. I’d like them to die because of wear in the field, not in the washing machine.

Fun game to play in our village - put the wrong bin out on Tuesday evening for two hours, watch the confusion spread.

I don’t think anyone said reducing climate change would come free.

Yeah, well, no, NO, then we can’t do that thing.

I know, but that’s what it currently fails because of in general adoption. Everybody complains about shareholders being shortterm-driven, but then everybody else personally is as well, at least on average.

That sounds plausible. Kudos to the supplier then.

One in the carport, one in the workshop, one on each floor of the house - that’s five plus the new panel I’m putting up for the greenhouse, not that many, imho. I just like clean infrastructure and hate core drilling concrete more than necessary.

Probability for that is 1:3, because usually it’s “doesn’t fit” *flip* “doesn’t fit” *flip* “fits” .

Ah, right.

and EVs

I don’t think going back to fossil fueled cars should be the route to go. There are a lot of other manufacturers of good EVs outside of the USA.

It’s usually to protect financial or political and therefore by proxy financial interests. A country doesn’t end at its borders and it has various ways of steering other parts of the world in its best interest: Development aid, food aid, trade agreements and sometimes just showing up with military and hanging out a bit just to be seen and foster relations.

Hey, that’s not fair. Bring him a little black suitcase now and then and you’ll find you can rely on him without any worries.

Cyberpunk IS cool as long as I get to experience it as a little mental retreat, a neon colored view of the what-if from the comfort of my chair in my paid off house in a country with universal healthcare and strong worker rights.

No problem, they’ll manage to make them more expensive with buttons as well. I’m trusting the beancounters on that one.

Yeah, I’mma have to see that before I believe that. Otherwise I’d drop anonymous hints left and right for every single bit of IoT that runs against an MQTT or XMPP server hosted and forgotten somewhere back in 2018. That backlash would shake them awake.

Yes, but when I am running my own server, what can force me to build a binary that contains the backdoor?

it will be funny when they will impose those backdoors to Matrix

How do you even impose backdoors onto an open source service that can be hosted decentralized?

because their believes don’t fit with the modern western world

And I get that. But then those very same people start to select between good and bad immigrants based on the color of the skin and the amount of beard or something. Ass-backwards-conservatives from Russia - totally welcome.

Or everything becomes desolate as some derelict eastern german town with 50% AfD voters.

Yep. That’s the one that’ll likely happen, unfortunately.

I wouldn’t bet my future on the idea that I could live here in peace and quiet. I’m not even sure of that as a somewhat native.
