Nothing written here can possibly be correct.

You’ve doctored your first two points to avoid the fact that widespread corruption and crumbling infrastructure are in fact a feature of the USA. That said, obviously we are not a ‘third world’ country, nor a ‘developing or under-developed’ country. We are, instead in our own special category of fucked. We have an absolutely giant economy, but as we have decided politically to disinvest in all of our public sectors, either by privatization or under-funding, we are rapidly becoming dysfunctional. Add to that the huge global reclaiming of surplus value from workers wages to plutocrats profits, and we are, as is obvious, in a political crisis shared by the rest of the neoliberal democracies.

Everyone will be working multiple shitty service jobs that robots are not cost effective to automate. Our miserable wages will be just sufficient to keep the wheels on the cart from falling off.

Containers are very lightweight. I have no desire to build anything so I always just add another service container to my existing stacks.

Newsmax cannot ‘get weird’, it can only get weirder.

nope. It should be regulated by each state. The federal government should just back off.

Every now and then Lemmy has an actual discussion like this that gives me hope that it can become more than just an idiotic link aggregator. Thanks!

I was at an immediate care clinic this morning for a non-Covid sinus infection and I was asked three times if I had lost taste and smell. Apparently they are looking for that as a primary symptom of long Covid.

In the US Covid vaccines are available at any pharmacy for free. Accessibility isn’t the problem. People have just stopped getting revaccinated. The ant vac propaganda has been effective.

From now on I’m calling it Foot Football. That other game is Hand Football.

Add in alertmanager and hook it to slack. Get notified whenever containers or systems are misbehaving.

He in fact demonstrated the clear distinction between being an antisemitic Nazi fuckwit and opposing Israeli military actions in Gaza.

I find the fact that both of my parents are dead to be a huge barrier to a healthy relationship. At this point we really have stopped communicating. /s (not really though, it is just a fact.)

Gitlab at least used to be the open source release of GitHub. I ran it in my lab for a while but stopped as I was using github anyway. It was easy to setup and maintain but it used a lot of resources. I ran it on a vm, there is likely a docker build as well.

lol. We have enough enemies and wars right now. We really don’t have to beat the china war drums.

United States federal government spends $38 billion every year subsidizing the meat and dairy industries

We had a world class transcontinental rail system that was stunningly expansive. Much of it, especially the branch lines that went just about everywhere people built towns and cities, has been abandoned, sold, or converted to bike paths. Now we have basically a freight only system with near zero branch service, and some local and inter-city rail transit that is utterly shitty by developed world standards.

I’m in the road kill is vegan camp, so sure after Winnie croaks chow down.

Google, this fucking phone, the cesspool of fezbuk, the shittified streaming services I can’t manage to unsubscribe from…

Oligarchs funding a resurgence of fascism in order to protect the global system that is wrecking the environment, successfully it seems.
