Perhaps a permanently hung connection because timeout is zero (=disabled?)?

People think we’re living in oh so capitalist times, why then does everything smell soviet.

On one hand those 3rd world despair porn accounts are a plague. On the other hand, my god has the UK declined.

These are the kind of hot takes Bluesky needs to hear. And lets be honest you already have an account there.

How does everyone else suffer? We’re getting subsidized compute.

I stand corrected!

The x86 memory model (TSO) is not Apple‘s invention, its a standard ARM extension.

SUVs are fine in the US, there is enough space and the speed limit is low. In European cities parking is just a PITA, and frankly using up all that space with a huge car is impolite.

SUVs are popular because 1) old people can get into them more easily 2) women feel safe in them (they aren’t safer) 3) higher position == better overview I don’t think those are compelling reasons for…

Scale is an important aspect. If something doesn’t work in a greek city state, it certainly won’t work in anything larger.

You can read this exact criticism of democracy in „Athenaion Politeia“, (The Old Oligarch), 5th century BCE. There is nothing new under the sun. It always worked like this. Democracy is simply an incr…

I can’t find details about their bankruptcy except some platitudes. How does such a business suddenly go broke?

They get much more out of it than they paid in. The younger cohorts get much less out of it than they paid in. Thats not insurance, that’s generational fraud. It’s a ponzi scheme.

I don’t know why people downvoted this because it is obviously correct. In a democracy you have to buy the votes of the largest constituency with other people’s money, which in this case is the boomer…
