I'm going to Barcelona next month to the end of year party of the company I'm a contractor for to eat some tapas and get drunk enough to at least temporarily forget the deepness of shit we're at in this world led by tyrants.
I'm pretty satisfied since the feature landed to 6.10. Couple of point releases to fix the performance regressions is totally normal, in the case of larger architectural change.
@arrrg@cmccullough yeah well... the obvious alternative is to jump off the cliff, so compared to that i pick hope as my poison ;-) besides i do have my inner survivalist and secretly dream of living in a fallout universe, if things come down to that...
i was actually blown up how fast it can deal with over 2100 subcrates (the amount piles up through recursive dependencies, the project itself does not have that many).
ace, no immediate need for threadripper build machine: i can get surprsingly fast rust builds with apple m2 mini pro and asahi linux (12 cores, 32 GB RAM) :-) i'll revisit build machine problem next year...
@arrrg@cmccullough I agree... But I'm trying to bring the viewpoint that as long as you can say that out loud what you just said, there's hope, right? :-)
@cmccullough@arrrg Personally I do see US as a democracy but definitely some things could be fixed up :-) I think like maybe few decades ago post second world war maybe US was actually a dream society to pursue your own dream...
@cmccullough As an outsider, I'd see the jail system in US the top priority thing to sort out. If jail inmates could vote, I don't think it would last...
At least voiced by our current government, and more broadly shared by the whole political spectrum: Finland will continue to support Ukraine as long as it takes.
It's called talvisodan henki aka "the spirit of the winter war".
Bad jokes aside here's the ONLY positive thing I see in Trump winning.
It's the last season of Apprentice and psychopaths usually don't have competitive followers. E.g. J.D. Vance would not stand a chance without being a sidekick of Trump.
The other side of the coin is unfortunately that psychopaths like to take down the whole world, once they go down.
So, if the world can mitigate the next four years, there will be light at the end of the tunnel.
I think it's going to be more important than ever that #Mastodon and the #fediverse are not centrally operated out of the US like almost every other social media platform out there.
@cmccullough Especially since you can get your voting right removed based on conviction at least in some states (I think that convicted criminals should have right to vote even when doing jail time).
