Emacs has panes. Is this supposed to imitate a fraction of the holy power? ;)

Oh baby rebase me Rebase me No mohr.

It’s a tool, it can have good and bad uses. But what’s interesting is the “dreams” of those who invested in the first place, their objectives: cheap labor, capitalist expansion. And the means to achieve it: ignore copyright like hypocrites.

Sure, the tool is here. “Confetti left the cannon”. Now, what is everyone doing with it? Good and bad uses, of course. But that’s beyond the point of the critique.

This falacy is quite common, “science is like a hammer”. Only those who never studied the least of social sciences or human history believe such thing (including most exact and natural scientists… •sigh•)

In germany they even provide safe syringes, I was impressed when I saw those dispensers in public WCs.

You could also consider Zulip they have been around for a while as the succesor of IRC but never arose in popularity. I like their concept of #tags for filtering messages inside a channel through #topics :)

Not OP, but I’ll chime in my reason: History. Messages older than… 30-day are only accessible for a fee. Even when you star/ pin those messages. It’s so hateful.

Yeah… since you are asking, try not to do anything. They’re people. They like jokes too.

Of course, all advise given in this thread is valuable, but I mean being overcautious may be the “special treatment” that is there routinely reminding them “oh you’re different”. They don’t need that. Just respect.

Yet, they’re entitled to their own decisions, triumphs and failures. So, they can shutdown the instance. Now, it would be a different thing if people really want them to be around again, raise some money, grab a backup, buy the domain name, let’s gooo!! …or not. Fine by me. If only 2 users from the instance decided to start a new one this is a huge win :)

The Age of Forks

Maybe won’t be all entirely too bad or doom… I would like to see a silver lining, some FLOSS developers are smarter than trolls.

Here’s a book for a different audience. Explains in layman terms why to be wary about this tech, https://thebullshitmachines.com/

Sounds like that toxic relationship continued through divorce with her making everyone “take sides” and stealing all support. Can’t give you any advice, you could reach out to some of your closest friends… Or, just start fresh with new people… like, moving to a new city or neighborhood.

Good luck! Stay safe and strong :)

What’s his crime? Drinking a succulent beverage??

Peasants? In one of the top capitalist countries?? Haha, good one… They certainly have farms, but that’s just one end of the production …

That’s not the defining characterisric for peasants, you pawn :p

I do read the docs. Even before trying software, to judge if ot will fulfill my requirements… Rocky Linux is one such example. Great docs, I’d love to try their distro one day :)

I just wanted to clarify the confusion that was in my head for a moment after going after the truth and fact checking. If I buy a pizza with Bitcoin and Lightning Network (which is the only one in use at most legal places), it’s not like I’m using 1600 kWh… The original message is misleading in that regard… Practical and concrete reality are different. But theoretical, if that pizza wanted a normal transaction it would use such amount of energy and take days (that’s why they wouldn’t use that)… So… There’s that.

Anyway, the dichotomy ‘AI or Crypto’ is false. I am not taking sides. But you do you, enjoy.

That’s not true if you were to use off-chain transactions (i.e. lightning network)
