Create red white and blue flag with stripes and 50 stars, and advertise it as the greatest country in the worl… wait a minute… oh never mind

Every which way. Humans are absolutely the very worst communicators on this earth. Rocks communicate better than we do!

Actually, they can and do climb walls and ceiling and then fall onto the bed.

Get diatomaceous earth, pesticide specialty store or garden center (not as good). Powder the carpets espcially near walls and bed legs and door to room. Also, take off outlet, switch covers and blow some in there. Put mattress in special bed bug proof bag and seal zipper with duct tape. If you live in hot climate. Put those sealed black garbage bags in the hot sun for th entire day (free high heat). If not, commercial hot dryer. All your clothes. If you find a pesticide specialty store, they can sell you the stuff and sprayer. Follow their instructions. Do it again in 10 days. Had 'em once. Not fun or easy. All above has to be done at same time

I have about 500 Gb in my personal library running jellyfin - which I hardly use anymore. I gladly give Tidal $20/month for a family plan, not just for the added value, but because they actually pay for the music, unlike Shitify. The stream quality is even better than about half of my collection. There are other good services and specialty services. Deezer is another. I don’t mind helping the artists.

Musk gets him excited. He’s jerking off.

I keep a single domain for distnct emails. It’s not anonymous in the sense that anyone with half a brain could put 2+2 together and figure out who I am. It’s highly useful for three reasons: If I suddenly get junk mail on a specific email, I tell my server to deposit them in in the bit bucket. Next, the algorithms aren’t necessarily smart so having a different email for every login a) makes it harder to profile me, and b) it’s more secure. Hackers will waste a server month trying to open my lemmy email in all the money stores.

I use my own cloud server for everything except mail. For mail, I will probably move to Tuta. Their apps have issues, but they are open source.

definitely. I run one on my own server. It doesn’t do mail though.

If you mean the rise of serfdom and slavery under an oligarchy instead of an economically enlightened republic, I’d say it already happened.

I’m pretty sure Joe Rogan and Mel Gibson believe that those massive fires are caused by liberal CA government.

Sager is rebranding Clevo, which are in fact awesome, but I don’t think you can buy them directly from Taiwan. And of course, no support.

But the 1% got 100 x wealthier! Ain’t that great?

I’m 73 and I understand nothing. Does that help?

I meant Sam, although they are both considered Founding Fathers of US. I didn’t remember that John Adams was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Besides, Samuel was a signer AND has beer named after him

Labels really suck. I don’t believe that hippies could possibly be so heterogeneous. Mostly, they were united in the 1960s in their anti-war position. Their older brothers/relatives died in Korea. And their friends and schoolmates were dying in Vietnam. And for what? Someone else’s war? But I don’t think they had too much else in common. Well, maybe drugs, LOL.

Conservatives is a crappy label too. My view is that the Republican party has become that party that wants an authoritarian oligarchy. Now they can check that off their list.

I say Republicans, instead of Conservatives, because the latter word has a much more time invariant definition. Republican position on the other hand has changed considerably since Republican Abe Lincoln’s time.

Could’ve, yes … it’s insulting to assume things about people - it pisses them off. It’s always better to just listen.

Fortran, yes. And machine language. In those days, you had to put the boot loader in manually from binary switches on the control panel. Ah, the wonders of non-volatile memory LOL. COBOL and BASIC later and JCL which was job control lang for mainframes.

as in free beer? 😁

Don’t underestimate people, @clubby. I WAS a hippie of the 60s. I got tear gassed in Washington at the protest Jane Fonda attended. I’ve also been programming since I was 14 years old. Do the math and see if you can figure out the language, newbie.

And NO, this was not the America we envisioned! This was also not the America that Samuel Adams, Thomas Jefferson, John Paine, Ben Franklin, and all the others envisioned. Since JFK, the Republicans have decimated education resulting in the ability to brainwash the idiots who voted for a dictator thinking he was going to lower food and housing prices.

America has jumped the shark.
