Judge might sentence him, but ACAB includes DoC, so he'd miraculously escape custody.

II think it's entirely possible the world is fucked. Climate crisis won't come during his 2nd administration, but the 4 years we lose in national and international regulation is going to make it impossible to prevent.

It'll be slow, but before 2061, I expect the death of the global Internet, and global shipping, and most air travel. Electrical grids will fracture or fail and the pieces used for smaller (at most regional) grid. Cities won't be able to maintain the sewer pumps, and Cholera will start killing people again. Gas lines will stop maintaining pressure.

I don't plan on sticking around that long. My BP has always been bad, so I figure just indulging my vices will make this no my problem, and I don't have a partner or descendants.

If you prefer not embracing despair, I suggest looking into how you and your dearest can survive without infrastructure. Local food production, local power and medicine production. Don't count on supplies you can't retrieve within a day of travel, and don't count on the state to maintain roads. "Solarpunk" might be a good search term. Also, might prepare for unpredictable shifts in the local climate, like preferring indoor growing.

If anyone has data that says we can avoid climate collapse with no new national or international regulation before 2029, I'd love to hear it. Please.

In 2061, I can see Halley's Comet with my naked eyes for the second time. It's the only thing I consistently look forward to anymore. I don't have descendants or a partner, and my best days are clearly behind me.

So, with his leadership, is there any chance we won't have a global climate crisis before 2061?

I need someone to convince me, please.

QI said he and his team used several conditioning methods, but none of them were actually ringing a bell.

I never claimed they would use non-voting as a signal for anything, only that they count votes as agreement, not mere tolerance.

Individual politicians and political parties routinely use count a vote as approval. In that way, if no other, voting does serve to support the existing system.

But, even if you believe there must be revolution and the current system CANNOT be reformed, voting is still harm reduction, unless revolution will happen before the results of the election can influence the system.

Peertube is a federated option, and while it's primarily meant as a decentralized replacement for YouTube, many instances include the ability to stream live. https://video.infosec.exchange is the instance I use, but you might benefit from using a larger instance or one that shares an administrative staff with any other ActivityPub-connected things you use (e.g. lemmy.world).

Or "swordfish"

I've heard "86" as slang for eliminate/remove but I don't know where it comes from, and I would never use it if I thought it could be confused with a quantity.

It sounds like something a stereotypical Chicago mobster might say, so I'd probably not use that slang anyway.

Yeah, my current position is this way, and I'm a $programmingLanguage Developer.

 

On /r/Haskell there was a pinned, monthly thread so that people could ask questions without creating a new top-level post.

  • I'd like to increase traffic to here (or some other Haskell Fediverse threaded-conversation group). Do you think a thread like that might help?
  • Does pinning work here? It's probably not necessary given the posts/month currently, but I suppose it's something to keep in mind.
  • Anyone got a link to Lemmy/KBin/ActivityPub Haskell library that I could use to write a bot, or some other way to schedule a post for yyyy-mm-01T00:00:00Z ?
