@izaya I suspect the only protocol that can handle interplanetary latency is UUCP (UNIX to UNIX copy).

@izaya I only want to rule the world to ensure I'm left alone by denying the position to more meddlesome people.

@izaya I've heard of IPFS, but I think UUCP might work better for daily or weekly batch transmissions of mail, vids, audios, and data. Since it was originally made for dialup, I figure it's a reasonable protocol to use for interplanetary transmissions.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UUCP

@a1ba @izaya I don't have a lot of positive emotions about tech in general. That's what I get for doing this shit for a living.

@izaya I've read Vernor Vinge. :)Fidonet would fit, too; I guess it's the BBS equivalent of UUCP.

@catgirl As long as its the people who refuse to get vaccinated who are dying, I don't see the problem.

@vriska You probably don't have a MBA, which stands for "making bigger assholes".

@vriska That would make too much sense though. Business owners and managers come from capitalist clown world where this sort of logic doesn't apply.

@vriska If the shift to remote for office work continues, most managers will find themselves unemployed (and quite possibly unemployable). They'll regret not pushing for UBI then. :catsmile:

Techbros pushing the hype train for cryptocurrency, blockchain, web3, NFTs, and the metaverse probably weren't bullied enough as children.

@kawaiipunk @polymerwitch Thing is, you can't really turn off uBlock Origin for just one YouTuber. Turn it off for one of those losers and you turn it off for all of 'em.

@kawaiipunk That is entirely too much effort. YouTubers need to self-host or GTFO.And if self-hosting video is too hard or too expensive, maybe they should learn to write.

@saxnot @kawaiipunk Peertube is not self-hosting unless you run your own instance.

Ad blocking is not piracy.You are not entitled to my bandwidth.You are not entitled to my computer's CPU and RAM.Neither are your so-called "partners".Any ad that depends on JavaScript and cookies is spyware. I block it for my own protection. If that cuts into your revenue, that's your problem and not mine.If the only way to pay your website's operating expenses is by forcing malware on people in the form of targeted ads, maybe you should GTFO the internet.Or get a day job...

Why do we uncritically accept the premise that parents have rights that supersede those of their children? Are children not human beings with thoughts, emotions, needs, desires, and rights of their own? At most, a parent should be a childâs caretaker and protector, but conservatives seem to think that parents should have ownership over their children. This doesnât surprise me since these are the same people who seem to think that children ought to be the only retirement plan anybody needs.

@izaya The Foreigner novels by C. J. Cherryh aren't fantasy because there's FTL travel (via folded space) but because the protagonist is a man who tries to solve problems without violence and mostly succeeds.
