These governments didn’t just have famines, they had famines so massive they have their own names with a capital “The”.

People keep asking me, and I haven’t really had an answer, but now yeah, I’m thinking I’m back.

Yeah I figured they went the Twitch approach. Desktop YouTube I still have ublock for, but there’s no hope for the TV.
I have a pihole and the youtube app on a smart TV. Trying to block the ad domains from the TV just bricks the app. Maybe I’m doing something wrong but, I got no luck.
292·3 days agoArmchair general? NATO’s Article 5 is a collective defense pact: an attack on one member is an attack against all members. With the US being the aggressor, Denmark and Greenland would be the members invoking Article 5, and surely all other NATO members would enter the war against the US.
Trump could invoke Article 5 too I assume, but I doubt (I fucking pray) any NATO member would ally with the US.

101·5 days agoNow that’s a fucking gang tattoo if I’ve ever seen one. Not like the literal Awareness Ribbon. 🎗️
The US has a greater obsession with tattoos than Japan by this point. If you go to a place in Japan and show off a tattoo, the owner might ask you to leave. The US they’ll gulag your ass.
On the one hand, one of the things we often tout about the Old Internet was the ability for anyone to run their own website, forum, blog, etc, free from corporatization. On the other hand, running your website is a responsibility on your part, and in the convenience-focused Internet we have now, seems to be a forgotten lesson.
On the third, mutant hand growing out of our back, fedi software should be designed with security-by-default, i.e. no open registration, to prevent the forgotten lesson from being a huge problem.
In the wild, it’s far more common for them to just spin up a bunch of accounts across “good” instances (particularly those without registration applications) and coordinate.
In 2023, this happened to a ton of unsecured Misskey instances who then proceeded to spam most of the Fediverse. It was just a troll in reality, but revealed that the Fediverse is no less vulnerable to coordinated, sophisticated attacks (and with how politically minded it is, there’s plenty of incentive for nation state actors to do so).

Might be a great excuse to visit Denmark… I hear it’s wonderful there.
Well there’s the disaster that was hexbear…

14·10 days agoYeah they were never learned to begin with.
I missed an opportunity to say the bunkiest of funches, and I’ll never forgive myself.
hear ye hear ye, behold the funkiest of bunches
20·12 days agoI’m with you. I used to build maps, models, and textures for Battlefront 2 and share the files for free on Filefront. I got into programming for the joy of creating things that make people happy, or solve some little problems they have. I still make mods, the communities are out there and I’m glad I found them.
But tech evangelists and bro culture ruined the idea of programming as a career for me. The greed of late stage capitalism infected our industry the moment Facebook hit the scene, crypto accelerated it, and AI may as well be the final nail in the coffin. It’s no longer a worthy or noble profession.
I recommend you read this.
