I mean, why vote CDU if they are doing the same shit as AFD but are not as good at it?

True. But I don't want the world to be that bad. I want to live without war and violence.

So he was expecting a major shitshow and was positively surprised that it was just a bit of smelly poop?

I'm offended that Arch is there as an Elephant. Slackware would have way more right to be there.

Also Gentoo. :))

I guess they learned their lesson.

I think it is sad, I would really like to travel in the USA as I think the nature and the culture are really interesting. But for my entire adult life the USA actually would have been a gamble to travel to.

The laws around entry to the country are also really weird, as the immigration officer that checks your visa has the ultimate authority of whether you are allowed entry. There are no concrete laws that limit their say over this.

Why else would you need to remove that phrase unless you wanted to do something bad?

Discord was shit from the beginning. Enshitification is useless here.

Sadly parts of my social group are currently migrating to discord.

A good few plagues are diseases, so ... Why not both?

You are talking about crypto after the hype. But actually the idea before the hype was pretty cool. It was basically to allow safe payments around the world without any government control needed.

In my city there were a few shops that took Bitcoin back then and a cup of coffee was something like 2 Bitcoin.

Did you see crypto going away anywhere? Because I sure as hell didn't.

The cloud was the dumbest hype because it changed nothing. Network services were now named cloud services, that was it.

We also got:

  • cyber: the realisation that the internet exists but 20 years too late
  • big data: companies snorkeling your data for targeted advertising and government surveillance
  • blockchain: safe ways to pay your dealer and investment scams
  • VR: the weirdest sort of corporate meetings and some cool game experiments

IOT seems kinda ok in that regard. Connect your microcontrollers to the internet to allow some extra coordination.
