@wowaname @lewdthewides I don't know how popular your services actually were, but I do know that on 8moe/v/'s GamerGate threads there is someone who occasionally posts a list of software and services that are worth supporting and your services were listed on there until they went offline.

I think having progress bars on how much money is needed and how much money has been donated helps or maybe you need to offer at least some payed services or give rewards to people who donate like custom domains for email addresses.

>You can't self host a public server in 2024 because 99.999% of the traffic comes from bots permanently DDoSing your connection so it will never be reachable. I tried it many times in the past 5 years and it always ended the same. You are basically forced to use a third party service with a shitty cloud protection these days.
absolute skill issue

@wowaname @lewdthewides Is there any reason why you can't just stick to using something like Codeberg or Neocities for the time being?

Gold isn't a currency anymore so few people holding it. Also, a lot of gold has been mined since '29.

Yet even with all that supply & little common demand, gold is worth double today.

Further, economies of scale are better today & so is production efficiency. So why is gold worth so much more?

Oligarch's, banks, & governments are hording it. Meaning: it's a been giant transfer of wealth scheme.

NVIDIA stock to the molten core.

nextbigfuture.com/2024/09/low-

For those communists out there - this is an example of how markets work. you may think that NVIDIA is overpriced, but it's that very high value itself that drives (incentivizes) the massive investment needed to build new and powerful competitors and so to break monopolies. Tax away the gains or central plan investment and you end up with no new competition and so no new innovation.

@picandor My problem was being with other people. Our family is admittedly too big for this house and it got even worse when my brother had to temporarily move back in. There was only one room where I could logically work on my classes, but the room also had a TV and my sister had random urges to watch movies and I couldn't argue with her.

I think remote work or remote classes only work if you actually have a home office where you can actually be alone.

@picandor I'm not against remote work and do agree that many jobs are able to be done remotely just fine, but some things should be done in the actual building. Doing classes online was absolute hell.

@picandor That's great, but like I said, it isn't the only solution or even the best solution. If you do live in the US, you could get your state or local government to nullify the UN just like what Louisiana did. I noticed that there is a petition to get the government of New Jersey to nullify the UN, WHO, and WEF.

I can't speak for anywhere outside the US unfortunately.

@givenup @flux_the_cat @SuperSnekFriend The regulations are so ridiculous. A few years back, my dad built a garden shed in his backyard, but he was required by law to make it somewhat resemble our house and garage, despite those being built decades ago.

Just two days from now, the UN will hold the Summit of the Future where there will be talks about turning the organization into an actual one world government to help accelerate their Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. Yet, ever since this was announced there has been utter silence about this in both the mainstream and most of the alternative media.

However there is still a chance to stop this. While I wouldn't advise putting full faith into it, there is a petition on The Conscious Resistance that you can sign to state your opposition to it.

But I think a better way to approach this is through nullification (American states using their 10th Amendment rights). Louisiana passed a bill a back in April, stating that the UN, WHO, and WEF have no authority over the state. If we can get enough states and maybe even municipalities to nullify the UN, we may have an even better chance. If you don't live in the US, see if your constitution has a similar nullification clause.

While the summit’s goal is to address global challenges such as climate change, inequality, and public health, there is growing concern that the implementation of these initiatives may come at the cost of freedom, sovereignty, and democracy.

Should you take an arch-technocrat at his word? I think so. Larry Ellison is the founder and former chairman of Oracle, the third-largest software company in the world.

Reminder that if a company ADDS DRM to a game, like GTAV did, so now you can't play on Linux, you can request a refund on Steam and they'll likely grant it

As a political allegory, it covers the same intellectual terrain as Aristotle’s “Politics,” Machiavelli’s “The Prince,” and de Jouvenel’s “On Power,” but in a way that is more penetrating for readers and viewers, and particularly relevant for our times.
