We’ve, as most of the world, been drifting right for a few decades unfortunately. The tax I mentioned was one of the main issues in last year’s election even though it affects nearly no one. That’s a sign of a small group gaining control of public discourse, which is not great…

My country (Norway) saw a lot of rich people moving to Switzerland because of more advantageous tax rules, so we actually did implement an “exit tax”!

To the surprise of no one, the rich people will not stop whining about it.

I tried, but apparently it wasn’t “second screen” enough.

Signed up when the Apollo app stopped working due to Reddit’s API restrictions.

Depicting Proto-Indo-European speakers as cavemen is certainly a choice!

Yes, we did. But with the current political climate I’m less and less sure that we’ll be able to handle it as well as we did with the oil.

If you want an example of an industry where we didn’t do a great job of spreading the wealth, you can look at our other major export: Salmon.

I mean, owning a TV doesn’t necessarily mean you use the “tuner” part of it. My TV is only connected to my AppleTV. It is exclusively used for streaming and casting, so pretty much the same use case as I imagine your projector has.

Edit: And gaming! Was so focused on the TV part that I forgot 😅

I love the salmon hat on the orca!

On that note, I would have loved to see The Butterfly Effect with Gyllenhaal in the lead role!

I have no idea about the meme format (though I see this is a cross post from anti memes), but the picture is a reference to a famous legend about exponential growth:

Allegedly, the inventor of chess asked the ruler of India (where it was invented) for payment in the form of rice, with a single grain in the first square and the amount doubling for each subsequent square. The ruler agreed, believing the amount to be small, but soon found out there was not enough rice in India to pay the man.

Rightfully so

ICE will continue to prioritize your removal

Well that’s not bleak at all…

Oh, I misunderstood. So you mean federating with their network from other software implementing the AT Protocol? From skimming the docs it looks like it should be possible as long as you implement the correct schemas, but I didn’t dive very deep.

Self-hosting a Bluesky PDS means running your own Personal Data Server that is capable of federating with the wider Bluesky social network.

Seems like it

They did just fire the GitHub CEO and merge the company into their AI branch, though 🤮

If your shits are made of cotton or polyester I think your diet contains too much fiber…

Yes, if it doesn’t contain actual tea leaves it is technically an infusion.

I feel like you would appreciate Salad Theory

You need C++ for computer science, though!

In your defense, it’s actually spelled “albedo”.
