A city that’s barely a hundred years old isn’t really relevant when talking about history of the human race predating the invention of bottles.

Earliest glass bottles are thought to be from 1500 BC according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_bottle. Even plastic bottles might be twice as old as Vegas according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_plastic_development but that depends on definition of plastic.

Istr that Ramanujan claimed that Kali gave him ideas in his dreams. Maybe he was actually a mathematician from the future but decided that telling the truth would not be feasible.

It’s not even complicated. War is not uplifting. Fascism is not uplifting. Pollution is not uplifting. Murder is not uplifting. Famine is not uplifting. Bigotry is not uplifting. Genocide in particular is not uplifting. Not even if the numbers are down a bit (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/orphan-crushing_machine etc).

Politics can be. Just read the headline and article/ingress and ask yourself if it’s news and if it’s about uplifting things or depressing/angering things. Only post if it’s uplifting and news.

Imo the comments should also be very aggressively (heh) kept to that same standard if the c is even pretending to actually be uplifting.

Has been for a good while. It’s looking like there’s no moderation happening, so it’s probably better to block it.

Which is a shame, because actual uplifting news c would be desperately needed.

It’s not uplifting. Almost nothing in this c is.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucket_brigade is a common term for these, I think.

It doesn’t. This c is just a politics horn these days.

I’d say it’s uplifting, but not really news.

They used to. They were just quieter. This is a slow ramp up.

Also different user. His life’s work had been to create the most evil corporation the world has ever seen. The largest monopoly. It’s still allowed to run and controls entire governments all around the world. Most companies, schools and government functions of many countries are completely tied to Microsoft cloud and their software and have no choice. This has essentially halted all technical progress and research on many fields because the results can’t be productised. The loss and corruption is endless.

It’s been going on and ramping up for over forty years. It’s still going on.

Forty years is a good “why” for why musk is nothing compared to this evil.

Beware that you won’t have ECC, so corruption is much more likely than with proper hardware.

I would just play Caravan if it didn’t involve walking across the Mojave each time. Actually I’ll walk just to play more Caravan.

I think Lemmy will delete an URL if you add an image. It’s a pretty annoying behaviour.

“If you cared about anyone’s privacy, you wouldn’t tell them to click anything.”

Kids used to make their own sprites and scrolling routines and poke inventory values.

Well, bigger kids.

Multispam is one of the things that is genuinely a threat to Lemmy’s usability. If you follow certain topics, you start seeing 2-5 copies of every post. It’s a genuine spam problem and “just block” or “just scroll” is as much of a non solution as it is with other spam.

Absolutely not. A two party system was barely nominally a form of democracy. Current government walks like a dictatorship and quacks like a dictatorship. They might hold a fake election one day like many of those do, but still no.

Ah, there’s your problem.

But have you seen platformio? Not pretty, maybe, but gets you a tool chain for many platforms pretty easily.

Did you?

How hard is it to do some web searches first before you announce a new name for your project?
