does not have to be FOSS

I’m basically not interested in software anymore if it’s not FLOSS. I don’t even mess with non-free source-available software or proprietary freeware anymore.

Exactly! I don’t want devices that are dependent on Windows or Linux, I want devices that are as independent of platform as possible!

It should be seized by the government people and mercilessly decentralized.

That would mean each person gets a custom pill, right?

Also I’m not a psychologist but from a control theory perspective, there might not be an optimal dose? The optimum might be an interval of doses, and/or the optimum might change with time. And then the consequences of using a suboptimal, preset dose might be at least a good solution. We could probably quantify this mathematically…but stepping away from a control theory perspective: I live this experience so at least in my case, the preset dosages have worked fine.

Use them illegally.

Yeah I know, I’ve been here for over two years now… how time flies. It’s still a little distressing when it goes down 😆

Happy days! We’re back 🎉

Me: please brain can we do all the stuff we’ve been putting off?

Brain: no, it’s hate-America-o’clock

Me: but it’s always hate-America-o’clock 😆😂😭

Climate change has not been out of the news cycle for months, and it probably won’t ever really be again.

I’m thinking more on a scale of days. At least in my feed, climate need has been getting overwhelmed by other things lately.

And how are corporate ghouls being stopped by Greenpeace hanging a banner on a oil rig?

They’re not. But it might inspire someone to actually go do something that could stop the corpo ghouls. It at least says that someone is willing to do something, even if it’s just symbolic.

Like I’m in agreement with you that it’s not a super useful protest, but it’s not useless or worse than useless either IMO.

it’s not bringing attention to anything the general public doesn’t already know.

It’s refreshing people’s attention, bringing climate change back into the news cycle for a minute, and demonstrating that ordinary people need to be willing to do illegal shit to stop these corpo ghouls from wrecking our environment.

if the resources used for this stunt are more damaging to the world than not having pulled it at all

It’s a little bit of paint in the ocean. Nothing at all compared to what that oil rig is doing.

Certainly not the most effective protest in the world, but I’d say it’s at least better than nothing.

I know it’s just a meme but I kinda needed this today.

In all seriousness, to the users and admins of slrpnk.net, you have my solidarity. Hope this all gets resolved soon.

Edit: oh shit welcome back!

You’re doing the thing

Have you tried RustDesk? TeamViewer was monitoring my traffic and they didn’t like that I was using it at school so they kept closing my sessions after five minutes, so…no more TeamViewer 😆. Haven’t missed TeamViewer in the slightest.

Thank you for the encouragement! I graduated too lol, just last month with my masters. This is just some research to do during the summer while I look for further education or work.

Yeah I’m currently in that loop with a paper due in four days. Last time I worked on it I just got zero dopamine and now my brain doesn’t want to do anything 😭

That sucks. Thank you for your time and running the instance. Gonna miss you all like hell while you’re gone. 😞

What kind of sadistic god makes the creature that produces something so sweet as honey also sting?

I think we’re good now lol.
