Clothes shopping is a one-in-a-decade event anyway

Printing to console is often only used for toy code anyway.

Not a huge fan of India and their current government, but if we don't work together then they'll work with China or Russia instead

Electricity and water. Those actually have a real cost to provide, unlike software

GTA V is as old today as quake 3 arena was when battlefield 4 was released.

Laptops for consumers have never been good, the reason thinkpads are reliable are because they are sold to businesses (with extensive service warranties)

It's quite trading heavy, and less rougelike. I would call it a "trucker trader post apocalypse rpg". Very open ended aswell

You should be nice

Mmm actually communists are nice, so you should avoid that

Brother I hate partisanship

bigboismith ,

As another European, I don't think it's as bad as it seems. I personally don't think most republicans are fundamentally fascist, more so convinced that Trump is playing 5d chess.

If you where to ask most Republicans if they supported democracy, right of law and freedom for all, they would say that they support it.

However, due to the tribalism of current American politics and the cult of personality around Trump, they aren't seeing how that is being infringed.

Trump is almost 80, and will die eventually. With him will his cult of personality die. Some hardliners will probably latch on to Trump Jr or Vance, but most republicans will probably quietly switch over to supporting some more moderate dumb fuck (think Mitt Romney).

I use mine as a low power server. Whenever I feel like tinkering with a website or something, I can just ssh into it without thinking about electricity usage. Jellyfin and such is also a good usecase

Having a lot of money. Wow congrats you have provided a service at a vastly higher cost than it was to produce, how nice of you.

Was a part of the local volunteer fire departments board meeting yesterday, starting to feel like an adult all of the sudden.

I like to add some black tea, about a quarter of the amount of coffee. Adds a lot of aroma, while not disrupting the taste of the coffee

Echo chambers, belief perseverance and the "second belief theory" (I'm not sure it's a real theory). For example most (western) people learn that the US is great and everybody else are terrorists from action movies. Then you learn that the US has done a lot of horrible things. However finally you also learn that the Soviet Union also did a lot of horrible shit, and then you have a nuanced opinion. However some people stick to the second belief, that the US is the great Satan and they know so much more than everyone else that have only learnt from action movies (even if they are on the third belief)

Man, seeing ich_iel while browsing all is an experience all right. You'll never know what to expect

What are your thoughs about YouTube clickbait?

I started to write a script for a video about how clickbait have really damaged the platform, clickbait taking it to the point the make the creators says "it's okay, we need monetize, we need to catch your attention somehow, this is the only and the good way", and I need to make some field research gathering some people opinions ...

After I started using dearrow to remove custom thumbnails, I've had alot better time browsing YouTube.

That part of lemmy is full of Putin supporters

Oh yeah, it's on a table, not the floor

Your source also compares the renewalable percentage of overall electricity production, where China lands at roughly spot 100, placing it near Poland.

bigboismith ,

Absolutely fucking not

Imagine you have a database, you decide to add something to it and now you have to solve 5000 sudokus. Also you can't remove anything as well. Have fun

bigboismith OP , (edited )

Note that I used Finland is this example. While not perfect, Finland is pretty good at taxing the wealthy (for example Mikko Kodisoja, Supercell founder payed 13,2m€ of his 35,3m€ paycheck as income tax in 2022. Still 20m€ in hand, but another quarter of everything he buys will be taxed as VAT).

Outside the theocratic libertarian hellhole USA, shouting "Tax the rich" isn't really a solve-everything-button.

bigboismith OP ,

Not really, for example I recently learned that both property-tax (a yearly tax based on property value) and property-transfer-tax (a one time 3% tax on every property transaction) basically kills speculation on properties.

As a result, houses prices are actually humane (between 50k-300k, depending on age, surroundings, size, etc. To compare, the median income is roughly 45k per year).

Of course there is still a capitalist class, but they are nowhere as parasitic as they are in the US/UK. Though if that is due to the welfare culture or a thought out tax policy I can't say.

bigboismith ,

Yeah, like 100% not to victim blame, but that is what not to do 101

That ain't jeans

bigboismith ,

Yeah they probably tried to translate "Vätterns impregnerade tändstickor" or similar, which means "The goblins/gnomes impregnated matches".

It's not worth it to be angry over people on the internet. Most of the people in real life are quite swell.

Regarding the monopoly, I prefer the Finnish model of strong alcohol (recently increased to around >9-10%) are in the domain of the monopoly (Alko), while beers and weak wines can be bought in stores.

First of all, there's more friction to get stronger liqours. Especially when you don't need as many stores as a whole.

Second of all, it makes it less important to bunker alcohol. If you have a lot of alcohol at home you'll probably drink it.

bigboismith ,

If you need to go to a specific store to get beer with quite limited opening hours, you'll probably get some extra just in case.

MicroSDs are tiny but slow

Transfer speed: 985MB/s

It's a bit brave to throw shade with only around 3x increase, atleast when we're already talking about absurd speeds

Also most zoomers are adults now, so no

Russian media rarely if ever cites their sources, and when they do they are dubious at best

I WILL DRINK FROM YOUR SKULL!

Yep, factor in that most of your mortgage is in actuality payed to yourself. You actually pay a couple hundred dollars per month to your bank instead of over a thousand to your landlord.
