I wonder if the surplus goods that would have been sent to USA will instead flood other markets and bring down prices there.

I saw your comment earlier today and thought “heh ok, challenge accepted.”

The things I paid attention to was

USB3 - you need this otherwise connecting external drives will be a joke Motherboard needs to accept up to 32 GB of RAM. Mine currently has only 8 but knowing I can upgrade is nice.
Quiet - must be silent when idle.
CPUs of less than 8th? gen will suck at video transcoding due to lacking certain capabilities. Important if running jellyfin, etc.

The beauty of self hosting is it’s all about your individual circumstances so you priorities and acceptable tradeoffs will differ.

The giant red flag is the name “PayPal”.

Also how are they going to get rid of excess heat, without water/air to dump it into? Really massive heavy heatsinks? Doubtful.

It’s 1990s style except done in 1920. Imagine the kind of mind that is that far ahead.

That’s not a deal that’s an agreement on the pre-conditions necessary to begin talking about a deal.

In 2023 alone, USAID provided assistance to 130 countries, disbursing $71.9 billion in foreign aid – the majority of which was spent on economic development (27 per cent), followed by health (22.3 per cent) and humanitarian assistance (21.7 per cent) to other nations.

Between 2017 and 2020, USAID responded to more than 240 natural disasters and crises around the world – from famines in the Republic of South Sudan to conflict in Afghanistan, Yemen and the Lake Chad basin.

From 2012 to 2017, it supported more than five million survivors of gender-based violence through services including medical care, counselling and legal help. Such care is vital considering that one in three women will experience gender-based violence in their lifetime.

And in 2016 alone, the organisation provided food assistance to more than 53 million people across 47 countries.

It’s hardcore

Much better to add features to your software that make it unusable in totalitarian situations.

For example

• if you’re building a reddit clone, make each subreddit elect their moderators every few months.
• Maybe ask How fat is Kim Jon Un during installation.
• Display the text “Taiwan is not a part of China” in the status bar, randomly

…and so on. The possibilities are endless.

I’m a PieFed dev.

Thanks for looking into it. I totally understand why you’d want to prioritize Lemmy at the moment.

The API is 99% ready to be enabled on all instances but we haven’t pulled the trigger on that yet.

Recently the developer of Intersteller, an app that does Lemmy, Mbin and PieFed, has been working with us. So yeah it’s doable but you have to really want to, obvs.

If you don’t want to see it, you’re not going to.

I’m sure another round of tax cuts will fix it.

This won’t fool the insurance companies. They’re the ones on the hook for this.

“a documented history of migrant abuse” is such a nice way to put it.

A quick search for “libya migrant mass graves” brings up this - https://news.un.org/en/story/2025/02/1159951

That’s not ‘migrant abuse’. That’s somewhere on the spectrum between genocide and mass murder.

I remember when MS made the perfect control panel in Win 2k and XP then spent the next 20 years making it worse and worse just because.

And here we are.

Rolling stone is selective about who they show the paywall to. I didn’t get it but my gf did. No idea why.
