Seriously. Nano is the best.

damnthefilibuster,

Thanks for the link! I lost this a while ago and I was loathe to find it. It comes around, doesn’t it? 😊

damnthefilibuster,

Y’all are getting them notifications??

What are the best steps to reduce the wealth of billionaires?

There are a myriad of news articles here on Lemmy that display the abhorrent influence billionaires have on our society (especially the US, where I reside). I consistently read comments where the posters appear hopeless and despondent of the situation, while others jokingly refer to the guillotine....

damnthefilibuster,

Don’t have time for a longer post right now. But here’s my question about the wealth tax -

Trickle down BS and Invisible Hand BS all say that if people have wealth, they WILL reinvest it. That’s the correct thing to do.

When you drive a car, the correct thing to do is drive safely and at a logical speed. If you do irrational driving, you get a ticket.

So why isn’t it logical that if you are participating in a capitalist economy, and not doing the correct thing of constantly reinvesting your money, then the govt should fine you for it?

Wealth shouldn’t just sit around and do nothing, specially in foreign bank accounts. If it does, it should be fined… or taxed.

  1. Stop buying it. Starve yourself of it by just not having it around.
  2. Keep a tall glass or bottle of warm water with you when you’re junking on content. Keep sipping it. Slowly. Over time you’ll finish the bottle and get up to pee. That’s there number 3 comes in.
  3. Recognize another harmful pattern here. Is your approach to watching content affecting your mood or causing you to spiral into junk food addiction? Maybe cut down on the YouTube videos. Or if you enjoy them a lot, combine them with some other activity you can do with your hands - drawing, writing, lifting weights, anything. Basically understand that your hands are idle while your brain is engaged and that’s causing you to reach for that packet of food.
  4. Recognize that junk food is an addiction. Deal with it as you would an alcohol or nicotine addiction. You can go cold turkey or taper down. But you have to commit. You have to hold yourself accountable. But do not let yourself get bogged down by failure. Addiction is difficult to deal with. Deal with it anyway.
damnthefilibuster,

Thanks! Fuckface has gone off the rails taking on Disney.

damnthefilibuster,

external 14 TB drive that’s slowly failing. I don’t much care about the content on it. I will just download stuff again if it craps out.

Woot! Looking forward to this. I loved the first one, for the story and for the strangeness of things in it. Remember the clamshell e-book reader? Need more of that tech in real life!

damnthefilibuster,

Fuck you. Where’s the paid upvote on this platform? You deserve it.

damnthefilibuster,

OCI free tier as in Oracle Cloud? How’s that working out for you? Not miniflux… the cloud…

damnthefilibuster,

Is there a search engine that stores generic search vector information in a p2p fashion and allows users to search so that their local and then other people’s remotes get searched in that order?

damnthefilibuster,

Duck duck is a layer on top of Bing. Thanks for the link to Yacy.
