@necrophcodr minimal government is fine, we need things like food safety, weights and measures, one size fits all things. almost everything else is a huge and terrible waste (and grift)

it's crazy, stupid, and bad that the default ubuntu docker image does not ship with curl or wget (or any convenient way of making http requests) installed. to even curl x | bash you need to run like 3 slow commands first

the only website the federal government should have is irs.gov. literally every other .gov should be destroyed. why am i being forced to pay for this stuff?

once we get that done, then we can destroy irs.gov too and vacate the military.

@erincandescent just publish it on your blog, they'll hear about it

@paoloredaelli the connection before my first fast (1Mbps) connection was a 33.6k modem. I remember being jazzed that I could download at 3kB/sec when I upgraded to it.

@signalapp i need to be able to add more devices. i have two ipads, three computers at one of my homes, and two computers at another of my homes. it would also be nice to be able to add my other phone to my main signal account (and not have it be a different account because it's a phone and not an ipad)

i am downloading from the internet at 200 megabytes per second.

my first fast connection, i could download at almost 70 kilobytes per second (almost half a megabit) and it blew my mind.

chatgpt is down, how am i ever going to use ffmpeg to convert these videos now?!??

wikipedia has a very strict non-deadnaming policy if someone is not notable prior to adopting their new name. it can't even appear in redirects or lists.

i wish i didn't have to renounce my gender to be afforded the same protection.

i got my first tiktok strike today for commenting "speak to pigs in a language they understand". two left to go!

@futurebird we all know that maga people are ineffective; the tyranny of the installed base is too powerful against even effective people.
