You wanting the same thing JD Vance wants should trigger a warning in your brain before you say anything else.

Nah, plenty of these people will look back fondly on their sports cars, cocaine and lush homes.

You know this hobby of yours is directly or indirectly bad for the environment, for society (Middle East tensions, see 9/11), for road safety in case of SUVs that block view of children in front of it, for city planning, and I could go on. But still you’re a “car person”, so none of that matters.

Normal people will have to wait for you and other “car people” to die off for the planet to become a better place. Until then, you’re actively making things worse.

You’re worried it’s not loud enough and that people will laugh at you in car shows?? You’re part of the problem.

One day we’ll know more about the Roman Empire than the early Web

The “tragedy of the commons” is misunderstood and maybe not even a thing https://aeon.co/essays/the-tragedy-of-the-commons-is-a-false-and-dangerous-myth

I’m getting real “people person” vibes here.

Boeing’s stock kept rising in the last 10 years, because they were sacrificing what they should be doing for shareholder value. Stock price alone is not a good metric for companies.

I’m not supporting them, I haven’t bought anything from Blizzard since the last Protoss SC2 game ages ago. But I don’t want to lose access to my games.

It’s not that easy. My Blizzard account is over 10 years old - never thought they’d go down hill so much. What’s the solution, to never create accounts online anywhere? Even if a service looks good and you support it, a corporation like Activision can come along and have their asshole CEO infect everything.

Walking away from my account now means throwing away a lot of money spent on it.

I used to be a sysadmin in 2002/3 and let me tell you - Docker makes all that menial, boring work go away and services just work. Which is want I want, instead of messing with php.ini extensions or iptables custom rules.

It’s kinda weird to see the Docker scepticism around here. I run 40ish services on my server, all with a single docker-compose YAML file. It just works.

Comparing it to manually tweaking every project I run seems impossibly time-draining in comparison. I don’t care about the underlying mechanics, just want shit to work.

I’ve been using it with a 6800 for a few months now, all it needs is a few env vars.

I keep trying it every couple of years to see if it works better, but nah. Even with MySQL/PG + Redis, it’s still slow and clunky. Maybe in 2026

Genetics is not technology?

It’s gonna take decades to be able to render 1080p CP2077 at an acceptable frame rate with just software rendering.

Turn on the news. Any given day.

As long as the US has tens of thousands of troops in Japan, why wouldn’t they be?
