oh fuck

I love capitalism

I’m torn between “oh yeah? that’s crazy” and “oh god we’re all going to nuke each other”

The “as geography permits” part is a big obstacle, unfortunately.

According to the article, the researchers concluded that nuclear reactors are not a good fit for that role.

this is very accurate. however:

is that… the beatles?

Is the torture that goes on in the USA’s Guantanamo Bay facility “an inherent part of capitalism”?

They’re going to invade Ukraine even harder now

how is it the middle of winter?

this speaks to me on an emotional level

looks like the court of public opinion had its former ruling overturned by [insert whichever court this took place at]

that’s actually a good one lol

Well, if you host a server, you can either host it on the cloud (which costs $$$), or you can host it by yourself (if you have a spare computer that you can just use as a server). If you host it yourself, all you’re really paying is the same stuff you already pay — internet and electricity.

Hosting a server for something like mumble, matrix, or lemmy only has the costs I mentioned above.

what’s PluralKit?

tbh, Mumble pretty much just does voice chat and only voice chat, and just focuses on doing it well.

• matrix isn’t a fediverse thing, it’s its own thing. it does happen to be decentralized, like the fediverse.

• matrix isn’t an alternative to discord. it’s an alternative to whatsapp/signal/telegram/etc.

• matrix is nice (I use it with my friend group), but it’s not perfect. we’re looking for something better.

• if you’re looking for a decentralized, self-hosted, open-source, secure alternative for discord, my friends and I use Mumble. It works great for VoIP (and its noise cancellation software actually seems to work noticeably better than Discord’s), but it doesn’t really have the advanced text chat features that Discord does. We make do with Matrix.

incredibly based. fuck the execs. fucking parasites

Honestly, I’m not sure if I’d want to bring a child into this kind of future. I’m not even sure how long I’ll last in this future.

You know how they talk about the Fermi Paradox, and the Great Filter? This might be it. We made it past nukes (for now), we may or may not make it past misaligned AI… but I’m not sure we can survive this.

It makes it difficult to get in the mindset of planning for one’s financial future. Retirement savings? Will I even live long enough to see those?
