bionicjoey, to linux in Linus Torvalds postpones Linux 6.8 merge window after being taken offline by storms

It’s because of the COVID vaccine mind control chips he put in everyone. If he wants to cause a storm, he just makes the entire population of Norway start flapping their arms in unison, which causes atmospheric disruption that leads to storms.

bionicjoey, to vexillology in Today marks 20 years since Georgia changed its flag! They got rid of a, IMO quite ugly, brown flag, replacing it with the much prettier red and white flag of the medieval Kingdom of Georgia.
bionicjoey, to comicstrips in [Alzwards Corner] Haha, I'm in danger!

Listen, we can’t all be Sid Meier or Edmund McMillan. Some of us are just a 14 year old who’s learning Java for the first time. Doesn’t mean it isn’t fun.

That sounds like a pretty shitty way of implementing a progression system, but I suppose Minecraft mods aren’t known for their great game design.

bionicjoey, to asklemmy in What's some amazing technology they have in Japan that's very normal to them but would blow our minds here in the US and western world?

Isn’t this because of those special stamps they use in Japan to notorize documents? I heard about them on a podcast: 99percentinvisible.org/episode/hanko/

bionicjoey, to asklemmy in How do I avoid Amazon when orders from other sites get fulfilled by Amazon?

I advise that you just don’t give a fuck if the order is coming through Amazon or not. Who’s to say whether they’re more evil than some other company that might fulfill your order. The thing you’re buying was probably made with exploitative labour practices from unethically sourced materials anyway. Simply shipping it to you is probably dependent on a global logistics network of fossil fuels and colonialism.

Just don’t think about it. There’s no way to buy things in this world and “do good” at the same time.

bionicjoey, to comicstrips in The cool thing is the rapid mutation of surrounding plants and bacteria, meaning Dad is still changing lives after he's gone.

Oh cool so we have protomolecule now?

When the imposter is sus

bionicjoey, to piracy in It seems so strange to me that we are locked in battle with providers mining our lives for whatever, and we have to work our asses off trying to stay anonymous, to the point of being denied service

Honestly I think you should re-examine your perspective on charities. Just because they have some amount of administrative overhead doesn’t mean that they are always worse than simply giving money to a random person. That administrative overhead probably helps them operate at a scale that allows them to help far more people than a smaller organization could.

Like, if I give money to a local food bank, that would feed far more needy people than if I went to my local restaurant and bought a bunch of take-out and then went down to a homeless camp and gave random people the take-out. Because food banks have supply chain connections and economies of scale that allow them to buy a lot more food for every dollar than you can get at a restaurant.
