So…it obvs doesn’t directly impact / punish China like they’re trying to say it would, right?
But is the idea that U.S companies would be incentivized to move manufacturing elsewhere? (Like domestically? HAHAHA YEAH RIGHT anyway…)
Guys should I be using my limited income to upgrade my equipment now before everything is like 30% hiked? :(
(No I’m not an expert in globo-economics)
This is sad, and I can see why they’re telling him no.
Because chances of finding it are slim, and chances of finding him if he shovels himself into some kinda garbage-pile-sinkhole void are also probably pretty slim!
I feel this way about 3 binders of mint never-played OG Pokemon cards I collected as a kid. I remember them exactly. Had my name on the cover with stickers and everything. The box just disappeared when I had to move numerous times in a short period.
I often rack my brain and curse the loss, especially because right now I’m your statistical millennial struggling to make money appear. It would’ve been worth a lot. I kinda hate the idea of trading cards these days because of it lol.
(To be fair, I just hate speculative markets, the hobby that inevitably overtakes every other hobby like a Tyranid swarm)
But at this point, this poor guy seems utterly consumed by his own greed.
In the words of Sean Connery as Dr. Jones Sr. in “The Last Crusade”:
“Lehttit goh, Shon.”
Money is the root of all evil. Perhaps our mistake is not losing the rest of Bitcoin unrecoverable in a nameless landfill…
I think it also might scream volumes about our society, that someone is driven to obsessive madness over the value of an encased metallic platter full of code nobody can make tangible use of. People must chase after imaginary riches to feel secure.
(TINK!) “Reel it in!!”
“Soooo do you want the good news or the bad news…?”
I was going by the vagueness presented in the article but that’s an entirely fair assessment, yeah!
Man those EVE Online corporate sabotage shenanigans are getting SERIOUS.
…In all seriousness though, this is rather concerning that this is happening and nobody’s really sure who’s doing it.
Frickin’ laysur beemz on ther hedz!
Oh hey I know that name!
One day I’ll get past the first 2% of Neverwinter Nights…
Then what the heck am I supposed to do when it’s not my turn? >=[
Lol
"It was at that moment, I realized I had two options…
A.) I can sidestep the projectile, negating any damage entirely…
Or B.) Intercept the projectile, catching it in mid-air, with my face!
OOF!..Should’a gone with (A.)…!"
You can’t hear us if you can’t hear. /:) Ehhh? (Big brain smug pointing meme)
I imagine the players themselves also wished they knew sign language after that…
but I’m embarrassed to admit I actually don’t know what the difference between linux distros are.
I think you’re courageous to admit it in spite of feeling embarrassed, and I admire that.
If we all ask and share without ego, the world gets just a little bit better. :)

I’m gonna claim “the coldbrew” for us, because it’s always refreshing, chill, and in constant rotation. It might take a little longer to brew, but that’s so it doesn’t destabilize your entire system. Ahh…so smooth. :)
(I dunno if this analogy holds up but hey I’m taking a shot lol)
then they’re stupid rapture is on its way.
Can I…can I ramble a sec for anybody willing to see this?
I was raised around this rapture insanity. There’s lots of evidence that this entire interpretation of Revelation isn’t even an apocalyptic prophecy at all. That whole thing might have been started by some con artist named Darby in VERY recent history.
It angers me personally, because it screwed up my perspective in my formative years. Thinking the world was going to end any minute anyway and all the boomers were so friggin excited about that. What the actual hell.
From a believer’s perspective, and I mean actually reading the book, it’s infuriating, that this recent “trendy interpretation” of The Bible has been the excuse to completely wreck the planet we were given and hurt so many beautiful people and living things.
These scum claim to be godly, but treat their OUR home like a shitty rock-band treats a hotel room, and they think they’re magically going to just get whooshed away from the consequences after they instigate WWIII to try and what, strongarm God into coming back because He smelled smoke and ruin?!
I want to band up with other believers against this “republichristian” cult. I wanna shout this from the rooftops.
But I’ll be honest, I also don’t want bombs sent to my house. I could rant on this all day, but American Christianity used to be a thorn in the side of capitalists. Christians helped everybody, sheltered them in their churches, didn’t force them to rely on whatever the gilded assholes were selling, created community. Christians used to be good people, dammit. Christians used to be straight-up BASED.
But capitalists absolutely made a concerted effort to turn it into the monster we have today. Where people claim to follow a God who warned them against swearing oaths, while being the strongest supporters of “pledging allegiance” to “a flapping pretty banner and its current owners at the moment.”
“Americhristianism” is the Devil’s most clever work of our time. Now more people just automatically blanket-hate Christians than ever. Nice friggin’ evangelism right?!
Breaks my heart. Feels like screaming against a deadly avalanche of stupid…
(Behind the Bastards podcast has a great couple episodes on “How the Rich Ate Christianity”)
The “protect children online” act or whatever. Ugh.
If you wanna try Arch + KDE without hassle, well Arch has an easier installer now, but I use EndeavourOS. It’s a lovely smooth Arch experience!
Very easy installer with lots of options to choose from. :)
Yes! Great way of putting it. It’s hard to explain how just using an OS can be a fun hobby in itself.
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed does it all for me. I work and play games on it and stuff, but my laptop is less mission critical, so I run EndeavourOS on it and experiment with fun layouts and everything is all “frutiger-aero-esque”. It feels like how I nostalgicallyremember those WinXP-7 days!
Snapper rollbacks with BTRFS are incredible for letting you play around with an OS you actually use, and still giving you a cushion to fall back on. :D
My little media streamer / guest PC has Mint. Nice, maybe a little boring, predictable, reliable. Ahhh simplicity. :)
That’s what I was thinking!
Yeh yeh, I get it, Lemmy, we’re all wageslaves now and religion is Absolutely Always Bad™ /s…but objectively here…
Things like churches and temples were for everyone to commune and worship and gather. They were, and still are, architectural marvels!
Any of us would be so lucky these days to feel any kind of attachment to our community, and to do some kind of work that we can look at and say “That’s there because of us.”
It’s hard for most of us to imagine, I think, because alienation from the results of our labor and each other is so wildly beyond reason in our lifetimes. Even building is essentially factory work anymore. Architecture as art is mostly dead in favor of brutalist templated concrete cubes everywhere.
Not to mention, we’re all constantly burned out and exhausted from meaningless grinds that usually amount to “Have a pulse (optional), deal with people, send emails to nowhere in particular. Produce nothing but Co2.”
But I like to think this was a positive thing. Building wonders, being a part of your community, having something to be proud of doing, like a collective hobby.
Lol I know I’m waxing romantically whilst likely being very inaccurate, I’m not historian, but I also think we can take the best notions of the past to make the future less awful…
That’s brilliant engineering but also…I wonder how common some kind of reverse-dud would be?
“Oh cool it’s probably inert because that was MONTHS ag–”
