  • As a country we were given the choice between letting one house burn vs letting the entire city burn, and instead of making a helpful choice a group of people decided to protest fire, and yet more decided to just sit at home while the world burned around them.

    They knew what the choices were. Trump flat out said he didn’t care about the constitution, didn’t care about human life, and didn’t care about democracy.

    Electoral reform isn’t even part of this discussion. It’s like wishing the fire didn’t start in the first place.

    Sorry if I’m coming on heated, but the idiots who run around screaming about how both sides are the same are an active part of the problem.

    Dream big, work towards that dream, but until that dream comes true you still live in a reality where the best choice you can make is “the lesser evil.”

  • She explicitly says “documented people”

  • Not just reading. A while back, some ISPs moved towards replacing DNS queries to known DNS servers with their own replies.

  • Karma isn’t real, don’t count on it handling anything.

  • Ha, I’m currently in a company modernizing their IT systems. The number of things relying 100% on excel documents which reference other excel documents, which reference yet more excel documents is concerning. They have an entire “program” based in excel, which takes several hours a day to run, and this runs the majority of the company.

    Just because you’ve not seen it, or even thought about it, doesn’t mean it isn’t out there in a live system right now.

  • None of your quoted text is actually about people in poverty. I once again circle back to not thinking you understand what poverty means.

  • Read that as cosmetologist and was thoroughly confused.

  • No, they aren’t. Poverty is poverty. You don’t get better off because your neighbor has more money. That’s just not how poverty works.

  • That doesn’t help people in poverty.

    You’re not explaining how a faster growing GDP helps someone in poverty. Do you not understand what the word poverty means?

  • No one is talking about North Korea. We are talking about poverty in America then vs now. Trying to move the goalpost to include a completely unrelated datapoint is pointless.

    You also completely ignored my rather direct question.

  • Can you actually explain why you think that?

    How does a faster growing GDP help someone in poverty?

  • There’s also something to be said about some services being cordoned off in a VPN while leaving some public with security. I don’t necessarily want everyone within my full network if all I want is to share one service with them.

  • He’s an equal opportunity furniture cucker.

  • Why don’t we just throw Lemmy behind wireguard while we’re at it.

    Literally anything can go behind a VPN. Doesn’t mean much at all. And the majority of those are commonly left on the open internet for friends and family, which would be annoying af to set up with WireGuard.

    I have enough issues dealing with VPN issues in my professional life, I don’t want to have to deal with them in my personal life as well.

  • It can be unencrypted, but isn’t a requirement.

  • This reads like you’re in favor of the freeze?

  • Would’ve

  • This was mostly a joke, but at the very least the data on the CDC site is now stale.

  • Yeah, hate to say it but I honestly don’t know if we can trust the current CDC website, considering the current administration is known for manipulating data.
