people think degrowth is about living in countryside without internet or electricity or some shit and like, no

it just means that instead of churning out stuff as fast as possible in biggest amounts possible just for it all to be sold three times the actual price and discarded or broken in two three years our society focuses on making things that last

that's why it's called degrowth. it's not abandoning technology, it's about abandoning capitalism

“inflation is caused by the government printing too much money”. wrong! modern monetary theory teaches us that inflation is caused by furries with pen tablets

The last time I *had* to use Google Chrome as my main browser, on a Chromebook just a few weeks ago, it was an absolute hell I wouldn't wish on my bitterest enemies because Google's war on ad blockers revealed the modern Web for the dystopian hellscape it is.

Meanwhile, my workstation now 18 years old, that's never had an upgrade besides failed HDD replacements & replacing Windows Vista with a BSD, runs the latest Firefox as well as can possibly be dreamed thanks to NoScript & uBlock Origin.

this rant brought to you by people with more money and computers and social status than me complaining about YouTube ads when i haven't seen one in my machine in years, because they refuse to use anything but Chode and give in to Goggles banning adblockers

yes, apparently such people exist

I can run latest Firefox ESR on a C2D with 4GB of RAM and have a decent modern browsing experience

Giggle Chrud could never.

i wish people would stop spreading FUD misinformation about Firefox being more memory intensive than competitors, Quantum was released 9 years ago, it's time to get over it

protip: ALWAYS use regular expression literals in JavaScript and TypeScript and any other language that supports it, instead of writing your regex out in a string. I cannot count how many critical security bugs I have found over the years from someone writing a regex like "^en\.wikipedia\.org$", which is incorrect because the \. is treated as *string* escape sequence (an invalid one that just produces .) which then results in the regex being "^en.wikipedia.org$" which matches "enowikipedia.org".

re: uspol (-, silver lining on dark cloud) 

Even in claims of truces & peace, my country is dismantling its superpower status in the stupidest ways possible, at the stupidest speed possible. The deal agreed to by the supposed king of making deals lets the country of his hate du jour raise the Strait of Hormuz Toll from $0.00/ship to $2M/ship. Genius. Absolute stable genius. 🤦‍♀️​

The Pax Americana is joining the Pax Britannica in the rubbish bin of history, & it deserves to.

Also, it's TACO Tuesday. Courtesy of Pakistan, not the USA's supposed king of making deals.

Also, the conspiracy nuts who swept Trump into power are finally starting to realize that might have been a mistake. They're calling loudly for him to be removed, but by the politicians with the least to gain & most to lose by removing him (25th Amendment), instead of by those the other way around (Articles I & II).

re: uspol (-) 

@anthracite I have a bit more optimism than this. Any response against us will be bad, but I don't believe it'll be "The Day After" or "Looking Glass" bad. No one else with nukes has the motivation to use them, let alone against the States.

Russia & China wouldn't. They benefit more from a USA rendered geopolitically insignificant without lifting a finger, than a USA made a wasteland at their expense.

The UK & France wouldn't, because they need to deter Russia.

India & Pakistan wouldn't. Either one doing so would leave it unable to resist the other.

Israel wouldn't because it has to maintain the fiction it doesn't have any.

That leaves only North Korea, who would seriously upset its ally China if it did.

It's bad, yes, but I think the fear is shaped differently.
