Or worse if he does, how do you prove to all the anti-money-laundering watchdogs you got free money from a genie? Will you be able to gain control over your instantly conviscated money in 30 days?

Primitive ftpd from fdroid is my go-to “too lazy to configure a cloud thing” solution. It is fast and just works.

Yeah, basically habit of using two digits precision whenever the meter is too big. Conveniently, the first two digits are centimeters. This comic is weird because our dude is using centimeters above 100 and adds millimeters and 10th milimeters to his length, must have been bald shaved at a precision doctor to get these numbers.

That is not a speedbump, it is russian artisanship to produce a detailed 3d artwork version of this:

🤔 I once called a pothole a ‘Colombian speedbump’ and my local relatives could not appreciate it. QED

Laughing about yourself (or your own country) is sadly not a skill everyone possesses. People who can are the best :D

It seems to be a common view in countries without social policies. To blame ideology when polititians fall to greed and fail to govern. Who knows where op is from, they might actually need a revolution there to get a reshuffling in politics.

Thanks, this place is full of dreamers and sometimes it feels violent to bring realism and nuance into their wonderous worldview. I’m happy my comment got upvotes, the first readers can downvote you to drown at the bottom of a comment thread. Good to have multiple voices like ours here.

Here is a list of the volunteers of Linux 6.1: https://lwn.net/Articles/915435/

Huawai is the biggest contributor, followed by intel, google, amd… Most volunteers are all on a payroll. Companies working together on an industry standard is still noble, though.

Who knows what this new money will do with the old ad-financed entertainment parts of the internet. VR/AR could actually get a second chance and maybe “smart” devices more usefulness than spamming ads. I hope cities and municipalities discover their role as online activity promoters for offline life.

We are in a new phase and what you call stagnation is actually the maturity and stability of the internet that is spawning new services at the moment. For example:

Logistics are coming online. Loading lists, import/export paperwork, scheduling your truck unloading time from your smartphone. Lots of saas startups in that area.

Factories are coming online. Scheduling production across factories/countries on a single product level is still sci-fi, but they are working on it.

Trades are coming online. Billing software, planning, documentation. Each sector has their own ways to get accelerated and now they see value in it.

Plenty of stuff that was happening in excel sheets is replaced with a tailored web services which are content aware and allow live data entry/analysis from multiple end points.

There is so much work to be done. Universal availability and reliability of data centers, mobile networks, fibre connections were the backbone neccessary to build the next generation of services. They are in the making.

I tried to crosspost with [email protected] but shit doesn’t work.

It is fixed though.

Apparently a communication issue between the server admins, should be resolved once they see each others messages.

Yeah hopefully! I don’t know if there are other instances out there with this plentitude of Dutch speaking communities.

Absolutely. Plus, the economic model of continuous growth is incredibly wasteful but we are addicted to it and have no tested, working alternatives. Thinking loudly about shrinking economy, population and wealth is the best way to push conservative polititians into power. (I’m talking ideology here, not a particular party in whatever your homecountry is). Building a sustainable economy based on earth’s output will be a painful endeavour, I don’t think current everyday politics is up for a change that massive. Maybe AI will give us the theory we need?

Not a Δandwich?

Everybody knows how to mute their phone or turn it off, and the other end can get used to them being busy and unavailable sometimes.
