“Growth” is possibly the dumbest metric we’ve been sold.

But now every publicly traded or VC backed company has to “grow” constantly at a multiplicative rate endlessly. Can’t be happy making some number of units a year. Gotta diversify and keep finding new ways to grow the business.

God forbid anybody mentions market saturation, or even worse: long term customer satisfaction.

No, profit and dividends weren’t enough. Growth offers more faster, so torch anything that stands in the way.

Now we know where the concentration camps will be… I guess…

Someone please prune this timeline.

Seems to me like you comprehend it perfectly!

I also never really saw the appeal. And I closed the account I’d barely used since 2007 (When it was primarily for announcing you were pooping and Lifehacker told me you could make lists with remember the milk) when the first buddy bought it.

I occasionally tried to use it for getting near real time news about things, but I guess I sucked at following the right people.

Now, with privacy badger, I never have to interact even when sites embed xits (if we’re going with xitter, then it’s full of xits, right?).

The Democratic elites fucked it up and we’re seeing them kowtow and shift the Overton window in real time. All to chase the people they’ve effectively denigrated for the entire election cycle.

The reality is that they’ll never learn. This is a near perfect repeat of other Democrat losses to Republicans over the last 50 years. The knee-jerk reactions we’re seeing (e.g. scapegoating trans people) are indelible without a wild paradigm shift of the core tenets of the party.

Three drink bonus: My brain is trying to color in some takeaways from the early progressivism movement (which IIRC gave birth to elitist leftism), but it hasn’t really gelled yet.

Pardon any errors here (Cunningham’s law and all), I was a bit toasty while listening to the knowledge fight episode.

My favorite part of this whole thing is that he’s calling shenanigans because he knows that the high bid didn’t win. And Alex signed documents acknowledging there were other factors.

There were 2 bids. Just 2. And do you know what the high bid was? $3.5 million. That’s it. A paltry sum for his life’s work. The price of a McMansion in California.

Since it went so well last time Trump was president, it’s just another virtue signal for him to wipe some more shit on.

They sure did!

It has always been “Moms for Libertines”. They just get confused by words.

If no shooting has ever occurred from a CCW holder in those areas in 24 years, what value does having a gun in those locations add?

I get the whole constitutional right thing, but clearly these are safe places where having a gun doesn’t increase your personal safety.

So, why bring one?

Bah, I read Nobara and assumed gnome. You said KDE right there.

Well, good news: Kwallet has a similar feature, albeit through an extra package: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KDE_Wallet#Unlock_KDE_Wallet_automatically_on_login

To hazard a guess, this is a gnome keyring asking to be unlocked after login?

Caveat: it has been a few years since I was on gnome.

You can tie it to the login with the gnome keying PAM module.

You’ve hit all the great ones, most of which were already available.

Have you added the bypass paywall clean filter list to ublock? Here’s the url you can copy paste under “import” in the ublock addon settings: https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-clean-filters/-/raw/main/bpc-paywall-filter.txt

Podman + distrobox might be the fastest way to get up and running.

FTFY: _mourn celebrate

A billion a year is something most people would trade for.

I mean, I’d be done after 1, but hey, that’s just me.

Yes! That’s one of the best callbacks!

These are absolutely reasonable criticisms.

But Mozilla is better that the big G in this respect, and fastly is at least attempting to do something. So for that, I give them kudos. Especially on the heels of the Encrypted Hello announcement.
