Every time you walk past throw a few kernels in there, close the door and just walk off.

Then when the next person uses it they will go crazy with a few random kernels that just keep coming from nowhere

To be fair Sony may have produced quality electronics but their tactics have always been anti consumer.

They always insist on proprietary everything and try to get first mover advantage for each new iteration of tech and then lock the market down. The problem is they hold out for so long with their proprietary formats that it makes their products unattractive. Case in point their memory cards.

Requiring a psn account is just another anti consumer control tactic by the company.

It might be an unpopular opinion, but it doesn't make him a monster. His reasoning for it is that he doesn't want to cause more harm.

Locking people up isn't right either but he is entitled to a point of view

The onion: Elon is a weabo Reality: He did a Hitler salute the day he was sworn into office.

I would think the second one was the made up one.

Mengele was pretty awkward too. And Josef Fritzl too from what I understand

 

This whole situation reminds me of the fable of Sun Tzu and King He Lu's concubines. I've linked a copy of the story, better than my TlDr, but here it is anyway. TlDr; Sun Tzu was tasked with training the kings concubines as soldiers. He gave them instructions, and they refused to carry them out, laughing and not taking it seriously. He then had two of the Kings favourite concubines executed against his wishes. Suddenly they were taking it very seriously and doing the right thing.

It doesn't take much to control a populace. The arrest of Luigi will make people he might have targeted feel safe again. But if they didn't feel safe - ie he was never caught - he might have made real change and the targeted group would start doing the right thing for fear of retribution.

It would have been an interesting alternate timeline.

 

I'll admit I've drifted off Lemmy the last month or so.. content was a bit repetitive and felt like just an echo chamber of the same ideas. I didn't go back to Reddit, Reddit lost me to tiktok it turns out.

Jumped back on now and so many more posts have inspired me to comment. I'm a comment contributor generally but I wasn't feeling it.

Anyway.. just wanted to pop in and say I'm really enjoying it. Not that I was ever going anywhere but this is a great trajectory

 

Ancient Rome's debut, Romulus, Remus, they knew, City's birth in view.

Monarchy did start, Seven kings ruled, played their part, Republic's fresh chart.

Power to the plebs, Senators and their webs, Cicero's wise pleads.

Conquests, Punic Wars, Carthage fell, triumphant roars, Empire's first great doors.

Julius Caesar's fame, Brutus and the Senate's aim, Ides of March's claim.

Augustus did rise, Pax Romana's grandest prize, Empire's steady ties.

Trajan, Hadrian's reign, Empire's borders did sustain, Height it would attain.

Christianity's spread, Persecutions widespread, Faith the martyrs bled.

Invasions, turmoil, Huns, Visigoths, Roman soil, Empire's slow uncoil.

476 AD's fate, Odoacer's conquest state, Western Empire's weight.

Byzantium's gate, Constantinople, strong, great, Eastern Empire's fate.

Justinian's name, Hagia Sophia's fame, Empire's legal claim.

Arab-Byzantine strife, Crusades brought further life, Empire's later life.

1453's fall, Ottoman Turks did enthral, Byzantine's final call.

Rome's history vast, Kingdom, Republic, held fast, Empire's echoes cast.

 

Not affiliated with these guys, just a fan and this is a great doco. Understand its not the exact target of this community but hopefully those interested will find this interesting as well

 

This is one of my favourite YouTube channels at the moment. Really high quality medium form documentaries. I particularly love this episode. They are growing but still pretty small.

 

Was thinking this after a rough landing today

 

Hey, one thing that has confused me a bit about Lemmy is just how bad it seems to be at handling any traffic at all.

Do you have any stats on how many request per second etc you are getting? I saw the thread the other day with your 24cpu server and the graphs and figure if anyone has a bit of a handle on it, if figure this community can work it out.

Like, if its just doing a couple of database reads and (from what i can tell I'm on mobile) just serving a JSON API to a single page JavaScript application, why is it so hard on the server?
