My gawd! This whole situation makes so much more sense to me now.

It’s astroturing at its finest. What happens when the corporation that runs the station on the moon no longer wants to send that energy down to Earth? Furthermore, what happens when the colony on the moon that operates the station and/or facility rebels and becomes a new nation?

I’ve had a hunch for some time that Musk ‘turned evil,’ would be one of the first people to capitalize on his popularity, wealth, and opportunity to form his own mega corp nation on Mars. This seems like a great opportunity to put that in motion. Plus, if he and other billionaires decided to fund this tech and patent it, they would for sure use it against us in any way they could. Gatekeeping humanities progress is at stake if any of this comes true.

They look like cigarettes to me.

My reasoning was, it seemed like one that wouldn’t die off in a year or less. Making it less of a hassle down the road when I need to start another account, add all or really all of the communities to my subs, and possibly having to transfer moderation to the new account.

What does JJBA stand for?

In this day in age, and if you’re an average user, I’d be surprised if you didn’t max out more often with 8 gigs of ram, compared to those with 16 gigs of ram. That’s not to say it can’t be done.

I’m running 32 gigs right now. I’m currently using 9.8 gigs. I have 2 or of 3 Edge browsers in use, 5 tabs in total. 2 Youtube videos are paused, and the rest are low end resource tabs. Steam on standby, Discord open, and Spotify open and ready. Closing Steam dropped it down to 9.1 gigs of ram in use.

Good question.

I thought the same thing. And because I recognized the person and channel, I decided to check it out. I found some new value in it. Hence why I posted it. And it’s fine if you didn’t.

This was already posted.

I try to ask myself, “What else would I be doing if not this?” More often than not, it’s just ‘wasting time’ instead of creating something, connecting with someone new, passing on or absorbing knowledge from others.

I would suggest making sure your own expectations are in check before you start in. Example: ‘I have a desire to share and discuss topics of my interests, but it’s just going to be for a hobby. Not for making a side income or the like.’ This way, it’s clear to yourself, and there doesn’t have to be regret, disappointment, etc., later on.

So what’s your goal or intention for starting a “Linux, software, privacy, etc. guides” blog?

Warm beer doesn’t sound good to me. Warm cider on the other hand…

Define “proper channels” for me.

Adding to this, to have them learn about static build up and how to ground themselves before touching anything in an electronic device. PC/laptop in particular.

TIL: imgur.artemislena.eu allows people to see images through an alternative frontend to Imgur. Neet!

Sounds like you would benefit from Cognitive behavioral therapy. I know I have.

Because yesterday was the fifth of November, I looked up Wikipedia pages about the story and person(s) that inspired the movie, V for Vendetta

The Wiki article about the Gunpowder Plot in particular was most interesting.

!macrophotography@lemmy.world would enjoy this as well!

No flipp’n way! Lemmino finally released a new video!?!

I too liked it when the Devil showed up.

Sure, this has a chance of eliminating a billionaire, but I can think of two critical errors here.

1. What’s stopping them from just visiting/moving to an island for a weekend, month, year, or more, to prevent them from being killed?

2. Just because someone is dead doesn’t mean that their wealth goes away or reverts to the general populous. I’m not up on how many kids Elon Musk has nowadays (nor do I care to learn about it), but he has over 10 kids, last I checked. And because it’s not public record or hasn’t been leaked, we don’t know if any of them will inherit any of it. But chances are, they do. This then becomes something like a monarchical power problem. (I also don’t recall what it’s called, but there is a thought experiment where you try to determine if killing said person will be the best option to bring about a more peaceful, prosperous, and/or high quality of life in said country, if they are. We have a long line of historical events that often show that by killing one of the ‘evil’ persons, you do run the risk of replacing them with someone even more ‘evil’ than the person before them.

People on these corporate boards will clamor for the top position during a power vacuum situation. And so killing a person at the head of ‘all of this’ doesn’t really resolve the issue at hand. I’m a dreamer, and I’m not the only one. I believe that this all boils down to the need for a grassroots movement to replace the people in power in our governments and change the systems that do not or no longer serve the majority of people well enough or at all.
