Musk is literally a fucking Bond villain (specifically, the guy from Moonraker).

But that doesn’t deserve to count as a separate distro. At best it’s just a variant, like the relationship between Kubuntu and Ubuntu.

You lose if you sell or if Trump fucks up the economy enough to completely wipe out many businesses (such that their stocks go to zero/get delisted).

Frankly, given the real possibility of (a) the US becoming a Russia/Iran/North Korea-style pariah state or (b) the MAGA fascists triggering a civil war, that could actually happen.

Remember, This. Is. Not. Normal. The usual economic assumptions do not take into account this sort of sovereign risk, and thus may not actually apply.

ADHD has fuck-all to do with autism. They’re different conditions with different symptoms and anyone who conflates them like in OP’s meme is a fucking moron.

Relevant to !selfhosted because one of the projects getting funding cut is Let’s Encrypt.

Reminds me of how when my kids finish watching a decent-quality kids show on Prime or YouTube, the algorithm will try to autoplay absolute pablum like Baby Shark, Cocomelon, or some other trash. It’s like it deliberately chooses the most basic mind-numbing schlock available.

Ordinarily, yes. But in this case, we’re dealing with a type of risk we don’t usually have to worry about: sovereign risk. It is entirely possible that Trump could be fucking up the country in ways that the market will never come back from because companies just get entirely destroyed or nationalized or who knows what.

In that sort of case, changing your investments – not timing the market, but responding to the potentially permanent difference in circumstances – can make sense.

I know a fascist dystopia isn’t quite the same thing, (except in HL2, where you get both), but the thing going through my mind is “rule #1: cardio” from Zombieland.

He literally invented the concept of Free Software. So yeah, of course he’s extreme about it!

Slap her in the face for me.

This is part of how they rationalize their resistance / apathy towards movements for justice, at the very least they believe it is futile to seek justice in this life.

Sounds like bullshit an unjust leader would feed them.

I mean, maybe, but previously when I’ve said that it’s typically gone over like a lead balloon. Even in tech forums, a lot of people have drunk the kool-aid that it’s somehow suddenly too dangerous to allow owners to control their property just because software is involved.

Thanks!

No. At this point Reddit is evil because it’s censoring anti-fascist content and organizing. It’s becoming a Nazi bar just like the rest of them.

Name and shame. Which browser and which instance?

And is it just something like an SSL error (i.e. the instance screwing up), or is it specifically some kind of anti-Lemmy disinformation?

Welp, that’s embarrassing for me. Good catch!

Maybe, if that two-step determination of liability is really what the parent commenter had in mind.

I’m not so sure he’d agree with my proposed way of resolving the dispute over liability, which would be to legally require that all self-driving systems (and software running on the car in general) be forced to be Free Software and put it squarely and completely within the control of the vehicle owner.

What makes you think the fake screenshot is Mastodon? I don’t use it so I don’t know about fonts and colors and margins matching up, but I’d at least expect there to be an instance name attached to the username.

Also, RMS is certainly not the kind of guy to use social media at all, libre and federated or not.
