This is going to get drastically worse with no end in sight. There’s very little reason our representatives should actually have to listen to these complaints. They have a blank US government check and they’re going to use it to get richer.

Midterms? I really do hope we will be allowed to vote by then. The billionaire class has pretty much won. I’m wary of having hope with yesterday’s protest. I want to hope. We’ll see.

Good point. Maybe it depends on what I want to happen when that load spike comes.

I was promised 15 years ago that cloud computing would avoid unexpected bills and provide consistent expenses that project managers love so much.

I think it looks pretty cool.

Think of it like climate change. We’ve had a warning after warning. Apparently there is no line that he cannot cross.

The beatings will continue, not simply until morale improves, but because they enjoy giving the beatings.

A good laugh in this trying time. Mental health is one of those things we need severely.

This is based on the administration acting in good faith, and this isn’t military deployed on foreign soil as is the case for typical peacekeeping. This is an at-home escalation, knowing force is going to be used against US Citizens by its own military. It’s extremely irresponsible at best and unusual enough that the Pentagon is scrambling to understand how to even address the situation.

Make no mistake, use of force on US citizens by the military is the predictable and intended outcome of the deployment. I don’t believe this is a good faith peacekeeping mission. This angle strikes me as saying that there are inherent risks to being shot. Of course, the effect of being shot was the intention of firing the shot.

The Pentagon was scrambling Monday to establish rules to guide U.S. Marines who could be faced with the rare and difficult prospect of using force against citizens on American soil[…]

What the fuck timeline is this shit. The rule is that you can’t do that you absolute glue sniffers. I know this sub demands civility but this is truly madness.

“No statutory authority Trump has invoked so far permits this.”

Right, because this is newborn fascist shithole.

When you learn as a space explorer that the dark forest hypothesis was correct.

The damage is done, but I guess that’s good.

A third of us that wants to kill another third.

This looks fake. Real events provide event information before you provide your personal information.

For example, many attendees might want to look up requirements or details about the event. It’s also really suspect that you can only get one ticket per mobile number. What if you have a child who doesn’t have a phone number? What about accessibility? Just follow the instructions we text you?

My elderly mom did this once in the keys and was disappointed when she was told that it was the guys who were supposed to buy her the free drinks.

That woman could put drinks away like nobody’s business.

You may underestimate user dedication. I love my instance and totally would come back after a few months away temporarily.

You got me on the communities though.

Fediverse is designed to handle servers with less than stellar reliability.

Shockingly accurate even for my unremarkable small town. It even has the tree shadows!

Not knowing yourself; it’s a lot like dating in that there’s big dreams and ideas but the reality of what is needed on the daily often doesn’t mesh. I find it helps to talk to other employees and ask about their job and roles to get an envelope of what the company actually needs vs. what they say they need.

Can’t really so that with dating though!

Could be a perfectly good FreeBSD box!

Discord has become really annoying to use with all the ads. I confine it to my browser because I don’t trust it.

With that said, I used to run Flatpak version and it never had this issue.

That’s not public transportation!
