You could always make one. And moderate it reponsibly.

The point at which your Venn cloud reaches a point of criticality is always going to be a largely individual decision. For communities that's going to wind up being an aggregate of individual decisions.

I'm more sympathetic to left-wing arguments, however I have little tolerance for tankies and thugs who can't differentiate nuance. That's also not to say that I have any love for equivocating neoliberals, and as for conservative, capitalist and maga style viewpoints.. well, to me they're so infrared and IMO averse to life in general that they're not even on the visible light spectrum.

As I'm getting older, I also find I have less tolerance for re-hashing arguments I've had many times over.

It's boring.

I don't want to die of heatstroke in the middle of a powercut in an overpriced rental, starving because a bunch of rent-seeking chucklefucks couldn't see past the end of their own noses, and spent their resources trying to keep a doomed gravytrain running instead of doing what needed to be done to keep us alive.

Leave Squeaky out of this, he didn't ask to be used to bludgeon some random plebbitor.

Rent-seeking is always The End.

So far the atmosphere here seems far more cooperative and optimistic... like a certain other place circa 2008.

I'm liking it, it's a breath of fresh air and I'd forgotten that smell.

@[email protected] - Keep commercial interests / astroturfing etc. off this place like our lives depend on it!

OneAPI also looks quite juicy... from someone currently suffering under ROCm and in refusal to give the green goblin any business.

A bicycle (OK, A really cool bicycle- Cannondale BB 2013 ) but I'm thinking of moving out of NYC, and a Motorcycle has always been on my bucket list.....

I was looking at getting a wireguard up with policy based routing, but apparently they have something in there which messes that up too, leading a bunch of folks to try using openVPN in https mode. At some point you just have to stop jumping through hoops and ask why you're giving business to an organization which simply doesn't deliver the bare minimum for no discernable good reason.

Also the tower reception is flapping all over the place from the hotspot in my location, so I'm a very unhappy bunny.

I started deleting my most-used accounts last year. Something felt off on the site since 2015 and it's only gotten worse.

Having to literally build my own network to work off of because the organization's network is locked down to un-usability for anything. I also now hate T-mobile's CGNAT with a passion that I never thought I could feel over a networking architecture decision.
