Student protests are happening everywhere and I love to see it

I was the lead engineer behind the graphite tips rods at Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant and I helped Boeing design MCAS for the 737 max

coal is literally obsolete, they’re just subsidizing some rich guys and giving false hope to dead towns

It’s not a conspiracy that’s openly what it’s for

College is way too expensive to pay for yourself

not as much anymore. it’s hard enough for a grown adult to have a 20 year old car and an entry level service industry job, which I hear from boomers is what they could afford with a part time job in high school.

some teens still work but usually only if their families really need the money. middle class teens are told to laser focus on college resume padding, so grades and extracurricular are what they end up doing. parents worry that a job will distract from algebra homework, and football or marching band looks better to prestigious colleges than McDonalds (non adult directed activities aren’t counted at all)

I didn’t get my first job until after I dropped out of college

microprocessors are kind of the exception, really. but yes we’ve had regression in product quality in exchange for lower prices and even then not so much anymore

I’ve been dailying linux since 2010 and it’s gotten way easier. stuff that didn’t work just does now. remember printer and wi-fi driver hell? now it works worse on windows if anything. games and some proprietary software are the only anchors, and that’s kinda going away slowly

They’re packaging it for fdroid, so it’ll be out soon

Piefed looks cool. I gotta try it. The fact that multiple servers cooperate is nice

Xi is in the files, though

Now confirmed

It’s the same logic that says that paying off the national day is easy all you have to do is hyperinflate the dollar and then you can pay it off by selling one sandwich

Fuck that

single issue gun voters are lost to trump now

That’s kinda the whole point

I don’t know what there is that we wouldn’t know, unless smart economists have been quietly panicking over some academic reason to be afraid for the stability of the US and are confident in their predictions

That would blow up the world financial system, like actually. Not to say he wouldn’t do it but that the consequences of doing so would be World historical in nature. I think he already borked European alliance. Greenland was a step too far and now they’re serious about decoupling, and not to slowly either

Is the USA collapsing in real time? Serious question. Denmark dumped treasury bonds, and then a Swedish pension fun dumped a billion of them, now the former research head of Germany Central Bank is saying physically move the gold to Germany

Is rednote still a thing? What’s it like now?
