I'm being ironic — I think nearly everyone did. There was this video in circulation in which Trump (Trump of all people!) advises them to wrap this shit up ASAP, but… "Nah, what can possibly go wrong?!" 🤦

I really like these words by Joseph Stiglitz, it's not an exact quote, I do it by memory, and I have only read this book, it's either from The Price of Inequality or from The Great Divide, in translation, but it's something like this: some seem to believe that money spent in the private sector is spent efficiently even if it's spent in the casino — I think it's very spot-on 😂

That is why I'm not calling it their sole purpose, but it's still their primary one — by definition. Although there are other types of organization, but those are relatively new concept and I don't think we're talking about them.
I'm also not stating that government is necessarily big and bad, I'm just comparing their bureaucracy and power/influence to that of a state/govt, nor am I even American, but thanks for the book recommendation anyway 😁

@AlSweigart @jasongorman

@samueljohnson
Not surprising, considering they get as bureaucratic and inefficient when they grow this big and their power to influence things in a way that is beneficial only to them and no one else gets very close to that of a state, but their primary goal of making profits remains intact 🤷

Но это же ЖИВОЙ НАСТОЯЩИЙ АМЕРИКАНЕЦ! Срочно! С пометкой молния!!! ⚡

На фоне того, что никто более значительный не едет и уже наверное не приедет, событие конечно значительное, подавать же это в подобном ключе — это как расписаться в периферийности страны. Но для тех, на кого такие новости направлены, это может быть не очевидно 😩

Not wearing one can. How could you even read my reply in any other way? 🤔

@neural_meduza
«Патриотическим» репертуаром? 😏

@LALegault Both are socially acceptable ways to hurt the others — just in different ways.
Anyway, nothing contradictory here 😂

I have found infrared codes to control everything in my audio playback rack. I'm thinking of implementing a web interface to control all this equipment.
Can anyone recommend an infrared transmitter that I could plug into my PowerPC MacMini running Linux and that would work from a ~2 metre distance? Probably something with USB interface — it doesn't really have other ports but USB and FireWire.

Этот тоже улетит и пообещает вернуться — но не факт, что это сделает 😆

I only get on there once in a month and I post anything but pictures there. I haven't read their agreement very attentively and I'm afraid that if I post a photo of my cats they might steal their souls 🙀

Do I have to bash some Google employees to make it fall out of them? Wow, that's an interesting development 🤔
Maybe if I'm lucky enough, someone drops a ring of +10 resistance to WebP 😂

@kirby
Sure, what do you have? Anything to ease my IED targeted at Google? 😏
