You wish.

If I were a sociopathic billionaire I would love some degree of global warming. The more you make part of the world unliveable, the more I can charge people for living conditions.

I can create bio domes that have clean cool air and charge people to live in there. I’ve now successfully monetized clean air.

Not a church service, but I attended a church wedding.

Pastor gave a sermon as is tradition during a church wedding. Every minute or so, he somehow managed to work in “and since you are in a place of God, you should not disrespect the bride and groom or our worshippers by using your phones”.

Bitch, I’m here to support my friend who’s getting married, not your church or your worshippers. I know for a fact that my friend chose to get married in the church because it’s cheaper, not because she’s super religious. Also I’m agnostic and haven’t read the Bible, but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t say “thou shalt not use mobile phones in churches”.

I very pointedly had my phone out for his entire sermon out of spite

Bunch of fuckin weirdos

genuine question: do people use twitter to catch up with folks?

As much as I hate it, I still occasionally use fb to message old friends, and instagram to keep up with friends. twitter… used to be for following celebrities but i’ve gone off that since (and if i wanted to, i can do that on insta).

best option is some sort of support agent work which allows remote, but you need steady hours.

if she really can’t hold steady hours for whatever reason then fiverr is the next best option. or look up things like gaming where you can sell in-game currency or resources for money

I hope to God you wouldn’t be gleeful at me getting fired

I wouldn’t be “gleeful”, but I can definitely see why the company was within their rights to fire you.

This is like those nutbags who shut down a highway to protest the environment or something, then accuse the police of being un-environmental when they’re invariably arrested.

first of all, you lost me when you pointed to reddit.

second, they protested not just within the office, but in the personal office of one of the higher-ups. If you blockaded your CTO’s office as a means of protesting world hunger, I don’t think that would go well for you either.

I don’t think peertube will succeed in scaling because video streaming and transcoding takes so much more resources to run than lemmy, and I can’t see volunteers doing this for nothing in return in the long run.

Tens of thousands of lemmy users can be hosted on hundreds of dollars per month; I bet it’s 10x more for peertube.

Surprise, humans are also influenced by whether they can afford a house and kids on a single income.

Soon the boomer cry will go from “nobody wants to work” to “nobody wants to have kids”

This is the national equivalent of “I hate my neighbor so I’m going to scrutinise their lawn, and when one blade of grass sticks out onto the sidewalk I’ll report them for violating HOA guidelines on lawn upkeep”

He looked 10-20 years older than he should be in the reunion.

Aw man. Even the main Seinfeld cast is still around.

Shows what substance abuse does I guess. RIP

That’s just plain wrong. The veto was a feature in the League of Nations (the predecessor of the UN). When the UN was formed, the permanent members (US, Soviet Union, United Kingdom, and China) all wanted this feature, ostensibly for unity and have all the major powers act together, but most likely to protect their own national interests.

China and Russia have used the veto to act against US interests as well.

That’s great news, he’s helping us accelerate the demise of twitter.

My desktop functions as a local file server and plex server.

If I bought a laptop and a bunch of hdds, it would cost maybe $500 more, and the hdds would be useless without a laptop plugged in.

A laptop is portable and that’s great, but it isnt always better.

Yes my desktop functions as a NAS - It takes maybe $100 more to get from a synology NAS to a working desktop-cum-NAS-cum-plex-server which I have.

On the other hand, it takes $500+ more to buy a laptop to plug in to a nas.

My point is, a laptop isnt always better.

I’m back on reddit, but I only browse and never post.

Lemmy is much more limited in content but I post more here.

The nature of a site like reddit (and lemmy and all other alternatives) means a large userbase is necessary. Not at the expense of CSAM, but also everyone trying to gatekeep lemmy doesn’t realise that we’ll die a slow death unless the fediverse grows by at least 10-20x.

I’ll switch when they make a laptop with 30+TB storage like my desktop has lol
