At this point what they learn in business schools is the full bestiary of legal and illegal tricks and scams you can use to extract money from us cattle and contribute as little as possible to the upkeep :(

Makes sense I didn’t get the job, I only vaguely know the difference and it was mostly theoretical stuff like CI/CD, but those recruiters really wanted to throw me at random interviews to see if I’d stick :D

PS: sorry I offtopic’ed to recruiter-hating, gonna go find a community for that.

What makes DevOps so different from sysadmin? Recruiters always told me “it’s nearly the same”, but I never got the job, so I guess idk.

Ok, fine, I hadn’t considered that and it’s a factor. None of the demographically declining countries like Italy, Japan, Portugal is doing great in terms of growth…but they don’t have deflation either. You also have the productivity growth factor into account with automation (meaning each citizen produces more but also uses more resources)

Sure, any economy can experience deflation if you have more goods chasing the same amount of currency, but the point is that most economies usually print money, that causes inflation (moderately that mimics around 2% (approx. linear resource growth) and 4% (rent extraction). Interest rates influence market behaviour that causes inflation but do not determine inflation.

Probably a typo, but currency is *inflationary, cryptocurrency is *deflationary, that’s why it’s not for spending “now” (e.g. hodlbros)

The moment my cryptofan buddy started talking up brave, I knew it was time to uninstall.

my crowd

how about https://programming.dev/c/programmer_humor ? this instance tends to attract more actual programmers

preemptive note: I’m not making a suggestion, I’m asking what you think.

At this point, to me, it’s fuck reddit, spez is just a scapegoat that does what the board wants and all other admin happy to comply, he doesn’t own it like elon owns twitter

You’re telling me, buddy :D and not just for the obvious reasons that bring us to this community, some stuff on hard disks is also better than the “cloud”.

uuuh…everything that takes enough effort and skill to make is somehow a kind of artistic piece + art works in mysterious ways, I guess? 😄

Still, one of the key aspects of piracy is discreteness and these debates and notoriety don’t help with that. Piracy does not look for you, you look for it, if you know how to find out how. The last thing I want is for every single Lemmy thread about netflix to have a top comment saying piracy is better than streaming.

It’s fine, we’re all “users” here with 0 or more “partners”. Partners are second degree users who occasionally are first degree users too.

I’d seen postal, but it looked like a meme game, so I never considered playing it, now I might try it out, see what it’s all about.

I love that, it’s almost like how banks make money with loans: create money out of thin air, lend it, profit.

True, I agree, it’s not a big deal, just another account, but I can live with it, yes.

PS: but there is still a case to be made for eclectic instances that host a variety of content. Otherwise, if you pile all piracy with porn, weed and whatever legal gray areas it will be easier to pick them off. Same with politics, debatable science, etc. If you concentrate them too much, federation is moot.

Instance management styles reflect the variety of human personalities and tastes. There will always be a few power trippers, but at least now we can escape. Fuck u/spez@lemmy.world

So beehaw was right whey they defederated from .world, there is shadiness there…

PS: this is one of the best communities in the fediverse, good job.

I mean, it’s going to continue unhindered, but it will be less visible to new .world members, more underground, say…submarine piracy 🏴‍☠️ 😄 arghh

I mean, maybe if they had left Gadaffi use the army to quash his opponents, it would have kept Libya stable? I think that’s what the dudes who wrote the article would have wanted.
