No, its the asshole CEOs very specifically who will survive the climate catastrophe and any other societal systemic failures. They've insulated themselves from consequences by hoarding material wealth, and when they can't do that, fiat wealth to represent material wealth. In 2008, we even bailed them out "oh that last thing you tried didn't work? Here. Here's a bunch of money we took from society as a whole. Enjoy your golden parachutes. You'll need them later"
As a populace we need to start showing up in the streets and obstructing these fuckers wealth streams however we can
Gotcha. Yeah. I would definitely consider Russian imperialism very evil and engrained with the systems of power governing the country. I hope for your sake, and for all of your brethren, that someday everyone under the historic influence of an imperial power can someday be free

REMINDER: These market share figures are self reported based on browser user agents. For over a decade now, Firefox requires you to opt into this reporting. Its true that Firefox has been slipping in market share, and that things can be rather gloomy, but they're not as doomed as its widely reported. The big driver of declining market share for Firefox these days is CTOs telling their engineering directors to not check Firefox compatibility because they perceive it as wasted time for 6.6% of people. The easiest way to combat Google Chrome's hegemony is to show friends and family that actually most of the internet works on Firefox despite what you've been told, and that also Firefox isn't somehow outdated

That and Disney decided they wanted to break (sorry. Let me use the business terms. "Disrupt") the market by having a vertical integration of streaming platform and production company. The thing is, it did great for the in the short term, but may have harmed them long term. Meanwhile everyone else is now chasing the model that may actually be losing Disney money because short term greed is the only driver in our economy
Yuuup. This blog post is the exact sentiment I see from people with postgraduate degrees in the field of machine learning. The current, public facing, machine learning AI implementations are various forms of theft, grift, and exploitation. They exist as the new testaments to violence of the neocolonial era

Okay but that's ALSO what Peacock is. Look at peacock's catalog and Netflix catalog and tell me its better rather than just different
So. You don't need fixed. You're fine. You're going through life and you'll figure out what works for you as you go.
That said, it does kinda seem like you have a misconception about what therapy is. Its not about making you fit in with the rest of the world. Its about helping you accept yourself, appreciate yourself, and love yourself for who you are. I won't tell you to try it since you so specifically said you didn't want people saying that, but I hope someone else reading this finds something to connect with on a journey of self love and self acceptance
Let me take this opportunity to get on my soapbox to sat this:
Peacock Sucks Ass
NBC / Universal were one of the first movers in streaming with Seeso. Did they learn lessons from Seeso about how to run a good streaming service? No they abandoned it almost immediately basically saying "this whole streaming thing is just a fad, anyway"
The results? Now its hard to watch those old (genuinely excellent) Seeso shows, and NBC / Universal has managed to make itself late to the streaming party when they were a first actor. And the service itself? Ass. Total cheeks. Major butt. Absolute balloon knot. It always has technical issues AND scanning within an episode is hard because it doesn't do it in chunks, it acts like a slider in constant motion.
Conclusion: don't look at Peacock as the idiot child of the streaming landscape. View it as the logical conclusion to media companies' corporate greed. They want you to pay money for a service that sucks, that's chock full of ads (oh! That's another thing. Where do you get off showing me three minutes of ads, Peacock, who do you think you are?), and doesn't even work decently right while a lot of these UX problems have been solved for over two decades (DVD scanning is easy and fine).
I came across a website today that had on off toggles for all their stuff cookies. When you clicked the toggle the colors of the "x" and the check mark changed between purple and black. I could not tell which was off and which was on. It made me very angry
How else will i know which scam products that we're built cheaply in a factory with poor conditions to spend my money on to have a fleeting sense of convenience that's washed away as soon as either
- I get used to it and it becomes just another thing in my house, my monument to consumption
- It breaks because the company cared about making a good product just as much as they cared about providing livable conditions for their workers, which is to say not at all

How do we rewild academia? Like I feel like this sounds like me being a JAQ off, but like, actually. I want academia to be rewilded. I don't know how to do that. I want to talk to someone about how to do that
PornHub is a monopoly. They own xnxx, redtube, xhamster, and several production companies such as brazzers. Their categorization system has also had some ranging impacts on actresses' ability to get work after they turn 22. I highly recommend listening to The Butterfly Effect by Jon Ronson.
ALSO so we're clear, I'm not a fan of this legislation because its dumb as fuck and doesn't help anyone, least of all sex workers. When people lose easy access to porn it usually results in WORSE conditions for sex workers because suddenly there's more demand in places without safety infrastructure.
I dunno. I just feel less like I'm experiencing a fun new tool for communication the last few weeks. The communities here on Beehaw are still great and fantastic and aren't what I'm bothered by. It's just when I venture out in the world (which I often do) that I notice conversations are much more argumentative than I remember them being.
How's everyone else doing? Is this a minor vibez check?

Problem It's been widely reported that Bram Moolenaar, the originator of Vim and inspiration for Neovim, has passed. https://groups.google.com/g/vim_announce/c/tWahca9zkt4 Just wondering if this co...
![Bram Moolenaar · Issue #24579 · neovim/neovim](https://lemdro.id/pictrs/image/80bfa60c-ed63-431e-ba1f-6c2086fa209b.png?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
The Hacker News and reddit.com/r/vim take on NeoVim is frequently that NeoVim has done tremendous harm to the overall Vim community and that the NeoVim developers aren't respectful to Beam. Having been involved in both commubitues, I have never been able to track where that idea came from. Vim has accelerated in features drastically since 2013 and the NeoVim team often goes out of their way to speak well of Bram.
JustinMK, the main organizer these days of NeoVim has pinned this issue to increase its visibility. I'm not really fully certain what should be the most fitting tribute, but its hard to express how much impact Bram has in the world of software development through his flexible improvement to a text editor from 1975. He's also been an excellent benevolent dictator for life over the Vim community throughout its existence and it feels like the world of open source software got just a little bit worse for his loss this week.
A new court ruling finds intimidation, unpaid overtime, and other allegations of abuse at GT's kombucha factories, according to The Los Angeles Times.

This is a very interesting article about the long-term sustainability of the Fediverse for moderators, administrators, and developers. We've already had two of our lovely Beehaw admins take breaks to take care of themselves as they experience the burnout associated with maintaining a community, and I think for a lot of use we already know how exhausting it can be to take a center stage position in an online community.
Unfortunately, I don't have any great starting points for what to do, but at least talking about it is a start.
The title I have assigned this article is intentionally boring. The article's body goes out of its way to not provide simple summaries, silver bullets, or otherwise give a single size fits all answer to everything. The author actually gave it a fun title that, I felt, did a slight disservice to their overall point, but hey, we all make our own decisions.
I thought there was some interesting stuff in there about the Fediverse at large, even if that wasn't expressly what the author was getting at.
I just went for my run. And wanted to talk about it with some of my new social connections here on the threadiverse. I used to run a lot. Like a lot a lot. 100 miles a week sometimes. I was a long distance specialist trying to qualify for Olympic marathon trials. Injuries and old age have ended that chapter of my life and I often find myself needing to remind myself to be proud of my ~10mi/w workload because that's more than a lot of people my age in my profession do.
Today I just ran around my neighborhood. There's a nice park nearby but I don't get to go to it very often because the street I have to run down to get there can be pretty scary. I think access to green spaces is something that often goes neglected in community planning in my country

I've been really happy with the following lately:
16g:275ml coffee:water, coffee ground on the fine side of medium. Wet paper filter, 205 degrees Fahrenheit water, conventional brew, 10 minute extraction, swirl to settle grounds to bottom of the press, and a gentle plunge.
It's considerably more work than a prismo recipe, but I think its well worth it
