JoelJ,

In australia it takes 3.5-4 years for a PhD. Then after you finish you move on to postdoctoral research, because doing a second PhD makes no sense

JoelJ,

What am I missing in the “end Kernel panic” one?

JoelJ,

Oh no! I only got an education from my school and didn’t get to fire a gun even ONCE! Let me go sit in a corner and cry myself to sleep with my secure, well paying job and free health care. By the way I’m in army reserves and get paid to shoot rifles and automatic guns at firing ranges. It’s okay, I guess, but I wouldn’t go if I weren’t paid lol

JoelJ,

You actually think you’re going to rise up and fight against your national army? How about fighting for a better democracy instead, like by getting rid of Gerrymandering, abolishing corporate lobbyists, adopting preferential voting etc

JoelJ,

That was a good read with some helpful tips, but they didn’t have a conclusion at the end so they never answered their own question!

JoelJ,

I’m all for getting into old school tech, I even like to browse neocities.org on occasion just for the hit of nostalgia for the old web rings. I never got into newsgroups though, and I’m wondering what reasons you might use that instead of something like Lemmy, Mastodon etc?

Apart from the piracy side, I know all about that already lol

JoelJ,

I would totally read that book

JoelJ,

Cool, I just installed Thunderbird and am giving it a go.

JoelJ,

Maybe to avoid confusion, they should just display units in GB instead of GiB? Or just display both

JoelJ,

In later news, US scientists confirm that water is wet.

JoelJ,

yeah I knew a person who took heaps of benzos on a whim, then fucked up the next 10 years of their lives with a crippling addiction

JoelJ,

Do you do much tinkering or other projects? I’m moving into a new place in December and wanna get into doing some electonics projects as a hobby, and this setup looks inspiring lol

JoelJ,

Okay thanks, I’ll have a gander

JoelJ,

This is the kind of alarmist media that cripples people with anxiety and leads to learned helplessness. We want to be giving people hope for change, not taking it away.

JoelJ,

I wish he had the balls to follow through with it

JoelJ,

I like the idea of calling it ex-twitter. I came up with the idea when I was having a shower… Hang on… there’s a community for that! brb

JoelJ,

Makes sense I guess when your only debating strategy is to talk louder and over the top of people until they give up- he’ll only come out looking like an asshole, an idiot, or most likely both. The fact that he’s too cowardly to even try won’t change anybody’s opinion of him, people are too entrenched in their opinions for it to matter at this point.

JoelJ,

That was an interesting read, I didn’t know any of that. thanks for posting.
