No worries: now that everybody's 401k is invested in SpaceX without their consent, when the AI bubble bursts, mass bankruptcies will happen without anybody leaving the comfort of their living rooms.

Reagan had dementia but his particular flavor made him quiet and submissive.

Trump's is making him agitated and aggressive, which so far hasn't been a problem for his handlers, but it might become one soon.

You’ve obviously not done a full round of cognitive testing.

Correct. You know why? Because unlike the POTUS, I don't need to: nobody has any doubt about my mental faculties.

Many people are surprised at how poorly they do the first time.

I suspect part of the test is remembering the first time, and doing better the second time 🙂

God I’m enjoying his downfall

Why? He's a fucking pedo who's going to enjoy free housing for the rest of his life. All he lost is pointless titles and a bit of dignity - as if he had any dignity left to spare.

I'll enjoy his downfall when he gets questioned by the police, put on trial and thrown in jail.

He's really proud of having undergone - and aced, according to him - two cognitive tests in one year. But he totally fails to see that this many such tests at such short intervals is a clear sign that his doctors are worried he's actively going gaga.

Not to mention, acing a cognitive test is about as difficult as acing a patellar reflex test: it's not a sign that you're smart, it's just proof that your noggin' is still working correctly at a basic level.

That's not quite what she said: she basically said she openly believes in batshit religious nonsense, and as such would have no trouble believing unknown phenomena are figures appearing in her batshit beliefs.

The keyword in all of this is batshit. How she won an election, I'll never know.

Whoever doesn't know that true good porn sites are found using Yandex and don't give two shits about US FTC rules hasn't looked very hard.

I always assume there is someone working to fix things

After being a member of SDF for over 2 years, I always assume there isn't.

Have you asked the SDF community if there is anything you can do to contribute to better uptimes?

No, for three reasons:

  • I paid for SDF. That's more than I can say for most services I use that are orders of magnitude more reliable. In fairness, I paid once, expecting to pay every year, because I like to pay for what I use. But I never paid again because the service is utter shit. Sorry to be rude, but that's just the plain reality.

  • I tried to contact someone in the SDF shell chat thingy and it's always been crickets. I've given up on that.

  • What the hell can I do to "contribute to better uptimes" aside from running a server at home on behalf of SDF?

Putting out there that if you’re waiting for the next outage of a few days to move servers, [...]

I'm not waiting. I'm currently evaluating Piefed with a view to moving my communities over there if it proves good and reliable. As for my personal account, I already have this one on Sopuli as a backup (now my main account) and I've created another one in piefed.social and imported my settings there too.

I'm done with SDF. The next - and last - time I post from my SDF account is to lock my communities and redirect subscribers to their new home.

Let's hope it lasts this time.

Next time it goes down, I'll move my communities and my user account out to Sopuli permanently.

Two things can be true at the same time. Someone can be a fascist and a pedo.

In fact, other interesting historical parallel, there are strong suspicions that Hitler was a pedo.

How uncanny... It's like the US was an almost perfect historical reenactment of early 3rd Reich.

First of all, there are better ways to deal with anything than privateering. There's a reason why all countries in the world have abandoned it.

Secondly, everybody is operating under the assumption that cybercrime is something that happens and there's no way around it. I contend that if software vendors were penally responsible for vulnerabilities in their software, you'd see a dramatic reduction in hacks very, very quickly.

As in, if a piece of software is exploited, the engineers who worked on it, their managers and the CEO of their company had better come up with extensive documentation proving how they did their best to implement security before releasing the unfortunate piece of code, else one or all of that bunch gets to spend time in the slammer.

If this was implemented into law, I guarantee you software would become very secure across the board in no time flat.

But of course, in the age of tech monopolies and generalized corruption, it will never happen.

 

The United States, stepping boldly into the 19th century...

What a contrast between the glorious race to the moon in the 60's, and medicine by leeches under RFK Jr's HHS and congresscritters wanting to bring back privateering in 2025... The Roman empire took centuries to collapse, and it only took the US 50 years. Quite stunning.

You know who else ran unlisted trains of deportees - or listed under some euphemistic name like "special train" or "resettlement to the east"? Can you guess?

Hint: if ICE feels the need to conceal what they're doing, it's because they know what they're doing is not right. Just like the SS.

 

From now on, remember that whenever you buy an Intel processor, you fund the US fascist regime.

 

SDF Lemmy server down after running on 3 legs for days...

 

It's gone super-slow again, and now it's gone fully tits up.

 

This video is informative and well worth a watch.

Robert Reich always has something intelligent to say.
