@lain It's both funny and sad that they explicitly state that they're preparing for physical attacks.

Someone's really not a big fan of the U.S. and EU regulations on #AI (and other fields):

@lain Vielleicht dient die Zeitung im Laden mittlerweile auch als Werbung für die Online-Ausgabe? Ähnlich wie unrentable Luxusmarkenläden im Flughafen?

@lain Wenn's nicht im Regal steht, kann man's nicht kaufen. Ist halt sehr ungünstig. wenn das Produkt nur einen Tag lang haltbar ist, und die meisten Menschen es nicht mehr brauchen.

@lain > It makes as much sense as my claim that you have promised to pay me $100 a month, merely by living in your house. If you don’t agree to pay me, kindly signal this by moving to Antarctica.

This is gold! (Also, the one you linked previously about doing nothing.)

@ChemicalEyeGuy As someone with a bit of coffee experience, I can tell that you most of their coffee is fantastic and among the best in the world.

Also, a few of the younger coffee farmers have readily embraced bitcoin, both because it makes their international transactions so much faster and cheaper, as well as to divest from highly inflationary U.S. Dollars (the only other legal tender in El Salvador). I can connect you with a few that I know personally, if you want to try some beans.

@lain Wenn die Arbeiter mehr für ihren Malle-Urlaub bezahlen, dann schaffen wir 1,5 Grad!

@lain Eigentlich ist ja eh alles besser als woanders, aber hier und da muss man halt einfach nochmal genauere Regeln definieren. Gibt einfach noch nicht genug Regeln.

Bit the lemon and ordered Starlink. They more than halved the monthly fee in Italy, and our local provider is dropping the ball too much. Only 15 EUR more expensive than our current plan, and a friend of mine is getting ~250 Mb/s downstream consistently in Europe at the moment. Let's see how it goes...

It's neat that they give you 30 days of trial period, so if you're not satisfied with the performance you can send everything back for a full refund.

@happyborg Not sure what you mean. How many fiber providers are there in any given country in Europe?

@happyborg Ah, because Vodafone and Telefonica are so much better. Your personal gripes with any human are not my concern.

@happyborg Also, "the slightest convenience" is not at all describing our current Internet situation. At least inquire about it before making emotional judgements based on your hatred for one man.

@happyborg What criticism? You have not articulated anything at all so far. Just ad hominems and what looks like your own disgust.

Hey #fediverse and #ActivityPub devs: is anyone aware of any specs, proposals, or discussions regarding the announcement of multiple different profiles for different activity types in Webfinger JRDs?

Would be amazing if we could use the same user address to point to different URLs for profiles for micro-blogging, photo sharing, book reviews, etc..

@lain I was seriously considering that at some point in the past.

@lain Die Schweiz hat 26 Kantone, die deutlich unabhängiger sind als deutsche Länder, bei einem Zehntel der Einwohnerzahl. Einfach mal Steuern dezentralisieren, und schon ginge der Wettbewerb los. Aber ist ja undenkbar im Land der Führer und Mitläufer.

Why are all modern RPGs mostly just shooters? I was incredibly disappointed by Cyberpunk being nothing but violent, and Starfield also looks like you're mostly just running around with a gun and hardly any other tools in your arsenal.

What happened to having like 20 different things in you pocket that you can and have to use with the world around you?

New Home Assistant level unlocked: live-tracking power consumption of this building. Incredibly easy to set up with the Shelly EM.

@lain @leyonhjelm @basadeskaiser @Java @Eiregoat @cjd Full quote: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1344195-what-an-extraordinary-episode-in-the-economic-progress-of-man

Unfortunately, compulsory government education has all but eradicated our societies' memories of times before nation states and passports, and deeply engrained the status quo as some sort of normal, natural state of human existence, for which there is no alternative, lest we'd be immediately overrun by barbarians.
