Me, an idiot: “So, kids, by setting the thermostat a little lower and eating less meat, we’re doing our part to make the world more sustainable”

VCs, very smart: “We just raised $100 billion dollars from the sovereign wealth funds of three petrostates to build the world’s largest AI supercomputer. It uses as much power and water as Guatemala and the primary use case is for management consultants to autogenerate powerpoints for justifying mass layoffs.”

So you're about ready to come on over to my place so we can BBQ up some Humboldt grass fed beef 🐄🥩 on my propane fueled grill?

I can drive on over and pick you up from the airport at ✈️ LAX ✈️ in my big, fire engine red V8 powered 4x4 pickup truck with absolutely no apologies too, because I truly don't give a good goddamn about any of that nonsensically manufacturered emotional blackmail that you're so effectively and quite eloquently exposing as hipocracy. 🖖

Say it with me folks, inheritance tax.

We are entering into "the great wealth transfer" where about $5.2 trillion (that's the one with more zeros than I can count) is about to pass from the, largely undeserving, super rich to their entirely undeserving heirs.

"Research by Forbes magazine found there were 15 billionaires aged 30 or under but that none had created their own wealth, instead benefitting from huge inheritances."

@FantasticalEconomics

And just what is wrong with that?

Answer: Not one Darn thing, except for the taxation a financially broken and bankrupt government seeks to impose upon those who rightfully choose to pass their property (including liquid assets) on to their offspring and nearest living relatives - or anything they designate.

There's also those who conveniently revel in blissful elegance of their self-imagined malcontent.

Jealousy is want of things belonging to others.

The oldest 30 active pixelfed.social users will be invited to beta test @loops this weekend if everything goes as planned.

More pixelfed.social users will be invited over the next few weeks and eventually we'll be ready to open to everyone.

I want to get Loops shipped ASAP, even if it means delaying some major features (comments, notifications, mentions, hashtags) by a few weeks.

@dansup @loops

Good idea, There's going to be a lot of effort during these next few months to produce something akin to Vine or YouTube Shorts, in anticipation of filling a void.

Shipping early to get those root balls well into spreading through the soil is prudent - just provide lots of sunlight and water :)

I just went out to get my kid off the bus. It's cold outside, so I put on a gray pea coat over my T-shirt and blue plaid flannel pajama pants. It's snowing, so I added a black wool Stetson. Then the bus was late (probably due to the 2" of snow on the ground), so I pulled on some tan leather lined work gloves and shoveled the walk.

Fortunately it was my younger who was getting off the bus, and she is rather a sartorial free spirit. My older would have been mortified.

@elb bruh! You are rockin' the fashion world and don't let anyone tell you different.

As for the older kid, let's fix 'em - go back in and change into a power ranger costume and make sure all their friends are observing when they come down off the steps of the bus to greet them Muahahaha 🤘🤡🤘

10 Things You Probably Didn’t Know You Could do With Nano Editor

OK, you probably do know at least one or two of these, but I’ve added the auto backup, line numbers, mouse support, and scroll bar to an alias for every time I start up nano.

See https://itsfoss.com/nano-tips-tricks/

@danie10

Not a huge fan, as I find that
is usually much faster for me, but I do use it in a pinch here and there, although I alias nano to ;)

On , at least at , nano is still the default install from the U of Washington contribs (not pico).

The other half of that equation is (alpine). When running , I do use nano over that of for authoring my emails.

Thanks for sharing those 's Danie :)

Not happy with issue trackers that has a ton of required boilerplate just to suggest an issue. Users (“lusers”) who are reporting bugs are helping the project and if it’s easy for them to contribute, more bugs will be found.

Non-mandatory boilerplate prompts (“here’s where you can find the version number”, “here’s where you can find logs”) are great but it should be possible to bypass since it’s stuff that’s not always relevant, like a user finding a bug can’t submit the admin’s logs for example.

I’ve said it before but probably the biggest culture shock when working in the corporate world was that they pay for testers and UI designers while when users give such suggestions for free in the FOSS world, they get kicked in the head.

The flipside to that is when the users are coming across as entitled, that’s not right either. Users, you’re not a paying customer or employee.

I can't recall, but it was just yesterday, there was some sort of issue I needed to report with something, and I'm used to those annoying boilerplates - it's like calling your ISP and getting tier one tech support with a notebook... "Can you turn it of and turn it on again?" Gimme a fricken' break, man!

Anyway, I teetered for a minute. Not sure if I wanted to fill that stuff out for something so trivial, but....

Then I noticed - there was a button to bypass all that! I was astonished

I loathe those little mouse pointer controls popping up like awhackamole in the middle of the keyboard - every time I see one of those I just wanna grab a pair of pliers, rip it right out of the keyboard, and stick it onto the end of a pencil as if it were a brand new replacement eraser, lolz....

to this day I even disable the track pads and carry around a little USB mouse. Otherwise my lazy palm wreaks havoc on any document I'm currently editing 🤣
