The side of the moon not facing earth is what I meant. Not actually sure if thats a correct phrase at all TBH. °far side* is probably a better phrase.

Whitey on the moon is certainly a vivid slap to the face, but it isn’t the real cause of sister Nell’s rat bite (Google Gil Scott Heron whitey on the moon if you dont get the reference. It’s seriously awesome and on point and should be required listening in high school)

The most recent big kicks to the teeth were the 2trillion in tax breaks handed to corporations a few years back and the flood of Insurance company money into politics. Insurance corporations have ruined healthcare and made medical debt a leading cause of homelessness. Political donations have made sure the government doesnt do anything about it.

The 2 trillion in corporate tax breaks have obliterated funding to public health, rehab and job placement services as well as eliminating millions of jobs in the public services sector. These spur economic growth

Moon shit is arguably what made microchips, solar panels and thousands of other inventions that seriously funded a great deal of economic growth, getting thousands out of poverty, while simutaneously maintaining our leading military edge and bankrupting Russia’s warchest without murdering millions of people.

We should focus our opposition on corporate tax breaks and political bribes, not on the miniscule programs that actually do create some jobs… Also, China is making moves to occupy the moon, including the dak side of it. The moon is the ultimate high ground

I thin there should be a proper study and maybe proposal to Legalize and lightly-regulate class-A drugs so the Cartel loses their main revenue stream, black market drugs.

I am pulling this out my butt, but Im betting the main source of capital in the cartel’s economy is wealthy people buying drugs. Poor people too, but Im betting the wealthy addicts with jobs and clean records contribute more.

If we rerouted those funds to actual tax-revenue-generating jobs the Cartel mightlosee somepowera and our economy wouldn’t be leaking so much money to the illegal drug trade.

Is this a comic about boomers and climate change?

Ask your mom about her 9D experience lol gottem

I think we’re maybe just too busy to be involved enough in the late-90’s irc-ish corners of the web to see it.

I bet there’s more than ever of it out there… You and I are just now into a perspectosphere of higher profitability, but lower keepin-it-surreality… If that makes sense

Which is kinda how it ahould be… The youth with their lack of responsibility own the edge of culture which they will eventually sort out to the worthwhile and the forgettable as their kids overtake the edge.

Zombocom is certainly in the worthwhile bucket. It encapsulates and distills so much pf the late 90’s into such a simple, light-weight package

No I dont but I must see this. What is/was it?

Feels good to be seen.

I didnt realize. Do you have more info on this?

Not to mention knowing pi beyond 3.14 is useless.

Thanks for making me google Ken Keasy lol. I liked Cuckoos nest. I had no idea the author was an Army psychedlic test subject and worked in a psyciactric ward

Could you clarify how it’s like Ken Keasy?

PS -why you getting downvoted so hard? Due to lack of references or something?

Is this still true? Damn shame if so

Got any good examples of this?

I do know that between 1950 and 2000 poverty and starvation dropped like a stone. I havent been watching closely enough to tell for the past couple decades. I don’t mean to sound cynical, but it can be hard to tell what’s slavery and what’s improvement of living standards through the media and on such short timescales

I know theyre installing a ton of solar/wind. Superbundance could happen there and that could be great. I got my fingers crossed.

How’s agriculture doing?

I think they’re very well positioned with electric cars and are going to take marketshare from everyone else in that industry.

I hope they quit killing the sea and bossing around their neighbors

Their effots in Africa are probably going to benefit them greatly. I hope they arent doing to Africa whatthre US did with South America in early/mid 20th century… with the saddling of unpayable debts, extracting resources and installing viscious dictators

I read recently OPECy folks are openly conspiring to flood Africas market with cheap and shitty fossil fuel power plants and cars to expand the oil market. It’d be rad someone flooded it with cheaper and better electric cars/heatpumps and renewable power. I wish the US/Europe would

This was one of my first thoughts on this too. Reminds me a bit of those western millennial/GenZ articles that are blown way out of proportion

Regardless I hope the governmental response is steering towards a bright solarpunk future of abundance and a healthy ecosystem to regain relevance for the next generation. Further encroachment of authoritarianism to maintain power and further alienate their smart kids doesn’t help anyone long-term

I hope the same for all governments, really

I keep waiting for some good news from Russia to indicate they’re going to be alright.

This isn’t it :(

This went over my head

Very good points.

In my case I just need to for a couple users with maybe a few dozen transactions a day; it’s far from being a bottleneck and there’s little point in optimizing it further.

Containerizing it also has the benefit of boiling all installation and configuration into one very convenient dockercompose file… Actually two. I use one with all the config stuff that’s published to gitea and one that has sensitive data.

good to hear. maybe I should try again

i use it for gitea, nextcloud, redis, postgres, and a few rest servers and love it!, super easy

it can suck for things like homelab stablediffusion and things that require gpu or other hardware.

I agree with you, Maggoty, and that why neither one of us will get very far in National politics.
