I can understand why you’d be concerned about lemmy falling victim to dead internet theory but I can assure you that we are all totally real and definitely not super advanced AI trying to steal your personal data.

Thunder has been my go-to. Not sure I could specify why beyond the fact that it just works

What do you like about it? Do you get stage fright?

Just typescript at that point

PHP dynamic sites, Ruby on Rails, or MVC in whatever language works for you is really what we should be doing

80% is my burst capacity unless you’re gonna pay more than 4x my cost of living. 60% is my normal pace these days

President makes 400,000 a year for a min of 4 years (1,600,000) and a max of 8 years (3,200,000) so I’d probably ask for 5,000,000 a year for them to call the shots and an extra 1,000,000 for anything I don’t think will get me reelected.

4 years of 5mil nets me 20mil and 8 nets me 40mil. I stash that away in a moderate dividend spread and I’ll be just fine for the overwhelming majority of my life.

Making money is a capitalist adjacent idea. The premise that we need money to figure out how to allocate resources is foolish

For some it helps them fall asleep. I had a friend in HS who would drink a monster before bed. I have a friend who currently only has coffee after 5pm to make sure they don’t fall asleep earlier. It’s anecdotal for sure but it works for them

The software industry would stall out, mass unemployment, dramatically more car crashes. Coffee, black and green tea, most soda, and some drugs would disappear from shelves and stores. Coffee shops would all close, you’d be able to get pretty much just water with your big Mac, midol takers would be furious and in pain, ADHD people would have to try harder to fall asleep. For lack of a better term, there would be a rubber band effect apocalypse while the shadow markets got set up and supplies

1. You can click in and out when you leave and arrive home. They absolutely can know how long it takes each way
2. No but they’d fire you if you moved too far to commute, and they pay you a wage that may or likely doesn’t cover the cost of living in your area
3. Hate to break it to you champ but it already is a factor for onsite workers. Despite being able to do so I was not chosen for a job because I lived too far from the office as a stated reason.

• 200k min salary (I’m currently paid 5 figures)
• 4 hour workdays
• 4 day workweek

And this is the single most important piece

let me go home when I’m done with my work

You’re thinking in terms of political ideology a radical progressive is someone taking out all the stops to fix things. It’s a bell curve not a checkbox saying what alignment you are

Yes you’re right about our current conservative population but the problem is still that they have too much power to limit progressives from taking actions to fix things or try solutions at best

Yeah except the cloud layers. For some that’s beautiful and it makes an even better backdrop for reading

As a species we need a mix of progressive and conservative people. Progressives act as a sort of antennae force finding new ways to approach the world while conservatives are there for if we progress in a way that is ultimately harmful. Finding the right balance and control system is the hard part, not fitting everyone into a progressive or conservative ideology

Ehh private rooms on trains are a better experience but idn of that would be much better than the equivalent number of cars

Theres no way this wasn’t a chatgpt response

If I say “I am a chatbot” you might believe me. If I say “I’m not a chatbot” you might not believe me.

So I’m possibly a chatbot

It is actually! The idea is you can join servers with certain levels of curation. For example if lemmy.world decided tomorrow it didn’t like blahaj.zone it could defederate them. That’s not the point of blahaj.zone but think of it like having multiple reddit accounts with different subscriptions each account is like a superpowered multireddit on it. You choose the subreddits that go in the multireddit but not that the account it’s on subscribes to
