  People expanded to places with resources that they could live in, or bring back home. There are no resources that we know of in space that are not more easily accessed on Earth, and living out there would require a material investment from Earth that would be devastating.

  Most of the Earth is currently empty of humans, while space is colder than Antarctica, and less accessible than both the top of Everest and the bottom of the Mariana trench. You could build a city in any of those 3 places easier than even low-earth-orbit and any other celestial body would be thousands of times harder still.

  There’s no job from those times you couldn’t do today while literally living better than they did. Quit your job, give away everything you own and go live in a tent in the woods harvesting mushrooms: Your life would still be better than theirs because you would still have access to some emergency healthcare, foodbanks when you are starving, and be protected from marauding pillagers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just in time⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even being a king of that time would be a brutal life in a lot of ways. Death all around and a piss-poor chance of surviving any given year with every bit of your body intact and functional, extremely limited dietary variety, and the smell. Oh god the smell.

  Yeah, camping and campfires are nice. They are nice because they are temporary and by choice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just in time⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, this is very much glorifying the past, and probably the future. Medieval peasants would dream of sitting in a warm cubicle, well fed, while scrolling lemmy, if they could imagine it. Space colonization is probably impossible too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't Linux based mobile OSes more popular?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of technical answers, but consider a social driver: Linux users and developers are a lot more likely to prefer to do their computing on a “real” computer with a keyboard and large screen. Therefore, Linux as a desktop/laptop OS will always be significantly ahead of mobile offerings.

  That’s why this is so terrifying. Twitter at least had a politically engaged userbase, so people noticed the changes. Tiktok users get political content only incidentally, and has far fewer actual journalists. They are going to get manipulated beyond reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you think of any now?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That, and most traditional dairy consuming European cultures never actually drank milk. They made cheese and butter, then poured the remainder in the pig trough to turn those calories into pork.

  The post isn’t a sound legal argument, but it is an ethical one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bring out the trumpets and pour out the beer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s pretty open. Step 1 is make income tax as painful as possible, step 2 is get rid of it in favour of tarrifs and other regressive revenue generating fees. And MAGA was already convinced that progressive taxation helped people they want hurt.

  It’s corporate socialism later, when the government bails them out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nooo my genderinos⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Gender isn’t part of biology (as a social construct) but the complexity of sex absolutely is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This kind of thins is just moral panic. Funny moral panic, but still pointless. There’s always been a tiny fraction of the population that is completely out to lunch, and there always will be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. I smiles at the blunt: no need to talk about this, just go try this. Then I read the comments. Guess I should call my dad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why did our friends stop posting on social media?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that was it. You could only post so many interesting updates, but a handful of people could “like” stuff all night long.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why did our friends stop posting on social media?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The move between seeing “your brother in law took the kids to the zoo” to “your brother in law liked this trash article” was such a jarring transition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why did our friends stop posting on social media?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I made a minimal account just to use Marketplace and then a few months later was permanently locked out of marketplace because some AI decided I was suspicious. It’s not with it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Promised LAN⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are a bunch of p2p VPN systems out there. First step would be finding the one that works best for you and your friends. Nowadays, I would stick with something that is Wireguard underneath, as the older projects were a lot slower.

  Make a big flat pancake of batter and use a cookie-cutter?
