Just pull the trigger, we both know how this ends.

I used to call myself a “left libertarian” but to be frank, after learning more I’ve found that “anarchist” fits far better. And there’s a lot of interesting content out there that I enjoy. I’m not sure who all .world has defederated, but the solar punk instance is always great, our mods are great (Midwest social), some people may find them abrasive, but those are people who maybe don’t understand that when you play in someone else’s home, you play by their rules.

Also: blahaj, beehaw, and even hexbear is usually entertaining, even if I have some disagreements with them.

The point is, there’s a lot out there, depending on who you’re federating with.

Above everything, lack of curiosity. If someone is uncurious, it’s a big red flag to me.

Capital idea!

“it would be far more efficient to create company scrip to pay them with, it’s not like they need anything we don’t provide right here.”

Hilux >>>>>> Cybertruck

It would be a crying shame if someone were to figure out a way to force those e ink displays to refresh fast enough that it kills the batteries on those things…

I’ve seen one flying around Lemmy since I’ve been here at least.

Generally speaking I do things myself because it’s cheaper, in that it lets me allocate cash in higher quality versions of things than I would otherwise be able to afford. I grew up pretty poor and that was how my family did things. Car breaks, that’s why you buy a Chilton’s. Appliance isn’t working? You can always order the part for a tenth of what it costs to have the appliance guy tell you what’s wrong. AC quit working? Those capacitors are super easy to replace and only cost $7.

Now I could pay people to do more things for me, but it’s only under certain circumstances.

Sometimes it just boils down to something my Dad told me underneath a car (or a house maybe) like 30 years ago: “Nobody is gonna care about your shit more than you do.”

Last week, used a package over a cake. Poke Cake.

“Where does this green wire go?”

I appreciate HW engineers and techs. I’m not afraid of datasheets, circuit diagrams, or a mso and they’re always patient enough to explain things to me so I can make the rocks behave. Or at least tell me how to go from diagram to board lol.

“the serial output from my test unit turns into garbage and it happens at completely random times!”

“Did you make sure they were plugged in all the way?”

“WHAT?!?! ARE YOU SUGGESTING I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M DOING?!?!”

Some time later

“Yeah, it turned out to be the serial connection was loose.”

They’re they’re, it’ll be all right.

Salt, Olive Oil, pepper pepper pepper, then some time in the air fryer… It’s magic. My kids even like them.

Alas, I cannot grow hair on the top of my head, so I must grow it on the bottom.

It’s bad at anything useful for programming too.

Haha! Jokes on you! It was mostly gnu makefile calls to ruby scripts!!! You’ve just broken the build a million different ways!

Last time somebody did this to me there were a lot of sit downs about how to properly chop up large scale code changes and why we don’t sit on our own branch for two months.

“How long will this take to get in?”

“Well, two weeks for me to initially review it, a week for you to address all the changes, then another week or so for me to re-review it… Then of course we have to merge in all the changes that have been happening in primary…”

Good ones don’t.

I’m not sure how quickly I’ll be able to get through this, but thanks for the link, this is really interesting.
