See, I’ve never liked that ‘go back in time and tweak things to make a small change’ line of thought. There’s too many ways you can either make something worse happen (Trump gets drafted in Vietnam, but manages to spend the entire time as file clerk and comes back and now gets to hang the ‘I’m a veteran!’ flag on his hat) or it won’t accomplish what you meant.

Basically, if you had a time machine and were trying to stop future events, there’s really only one approach you should be considering.

That’s the plan, basically. 1000 of 5.56, another 1000 of 9mm, but an absolutely stupid amount of .22LR for the Glock 44.

Shit’s cheap, and fun to shoot, so I might as well just buy a truckfull of it.

Misskey is basically fine, but it’s very oriented to it’s creator’s home country.

If you can use it cool, but if you can’t they’re not going to fix it for you.

Perfectly sane response, IMO.

The other forks you mention are because Firefish’s devleoper decided to destroy his project, and vanish. And, of course, since that’s not enough, he then dumped maintenance on someone who didn’t really want maintenance responsibilities, and they completely killed the project.

So, those two are the “western” forks of Misskey, basically.

Finally found time to take the AR-15 to the range and work with the instructor I’ve been using for the handguns.

Aaaaand while handguns are nice and all, this thing is the most fun I’ve had in a LONG time.

Of course I now have to scramble and decide how much ammo to buy before tariffs screw that up making this super costly (most of the cheap but not shit ammo is from SK, BR, and CZ, and even US-based stuff is made with materials from not-here).

But on the bright side, I finally got myself properly medicated, and holy shit is that fucking amazing. I’ve known I’ve had ADHD my whole life, but due the lovely bonus of also being bipolar and having a really really awful reaction to any sort of stimulant (even something mild like caffiene) it’s always just kinda not been treated and ignored.

Yeah well, current pdoc wrote a script for guanfacine and it’s like my whole brain suddenly just decided to make sense and behave itself. Stopped shit like leg twitches, and biting my nails, and running through crowds dodging people instead of walking a normal pace.

Also started finishing projects, being able to go to the store without a list and not forgetting a bunch of stuff, and generally just being a normal person.

I’m going go assume from your instance you’re not American, but the big flaw in your logic is if you come after me with a pipe, I’m absolutely within my rights to put holes into you until you stop moving.

Vigalante justice is going to get the people who think they’re “doing a good thing” killed, and with zero consequences to the pedos who shoot them.

Perhaps a more adult, informed, nuanced take is of use here?

You have to go at it the other way, now:

As someone of modest means, I fully support and endorse giving billoinaires more money. After all, if they don’t have money, then what will trickle down to me?

Wait no that’s still not funny at all.

Basically, think ChatGPT

…so I can get all the Pussy in Bio in one place now?

lot of people from the US with gas grid (which we don’t really have around here), is it really so that your Joe Average can’t tell the difference between 1kWh of heat produced by gas compared to electricity

Right, because for most people gas is metered and sold by the CCF, and not converted into kW at any point in the chain.

So I know i used 30ccf last month, but there’s zero indication what that is in kW, because we usually don’t convert between the meter (which is volumetric) and the billing, which could be anything but why bother?

Installed yes, but the OOBE that runs (assuming the OEM didn’t fuck it up) is more or less the same as a retail install: you have to add the account, untick the 300 ‘yes, please spy on me’ boxes, and tell it that you do not want office 14 times.

100% this.

If you did a venn diagram of ‘Worst possible implementation’ and ‘What Mastodon Did’ you’d just have a circle.

CU and the lack of federal public funding for elections (by which I mean the state funds the campaigns of those who want federal offices) basically resulted in the US political class ending up fully in the pocket of the corporations.

That’s what absolutely destroyed our ability to elect anyone other than what the corporate doners want, and thus you end up with nothing but corporate-friendly politicians, and thus a whole bunch of people who have no problem with facism and well, here we are.

I seem to clearly remember a story from the Bible about this, but perhaps they’ve simply skipped that part during their reading?

This is also a royal pain if you’re into retro computers and want anything from like 2001-2004, because damn near every single motherboard from those eras need to be recapped, like, without exception. Either they’re dead, or they will be soon.

Super annoying to get a thing you want to play with and the first thing you have to do is replace 20 caps and spend 3 hours doing it before you can even see if it would otherwise even work, lol.

I had a discussion about using the Slashdot style voting rather than the Reddit style.

It not only has the additional tag, it has the max “upvote” display limit of 5, and the display code will expand and promote the best rated comments, while hiding the garbage.

I think comments on most forums would benefit from there being no ‘big upvote’ number to chase, as well as making the highest rated comments in a thread of say, 200, more obvious.

maybe that’s me being overly harsh

That’s actually probably fair: the M-chips are impressive, but they’re just an evolution that’s come out of the A-series stuff for their phones.

Which, of course, Apple bought and did not actually create. (I’ll let someone else argue the merits of buy vs do it yourself, especially when you give your aquisition endless R&D funds to make good shit.)

Seriously, they got so expensive so fast.

At this point, if I want a burger, I’ll go spend $11 at Chili’s and get an actually good burger, some chips, fries, and a drink.

Why would ANYONE who is not literally bereft of any other option go to McDonalds at this point?

He could sell his various parts as they fall off. What’s a trump toe worth you think?

ReactOS is cloning NT, so the 2000 part of that is correct.

95/98/98se/ME are completely different beasts, even if they happen to share the same GUI.
