  • That’s a pretty good methodology. Threads are still distinct, but all on the same page at least. Hopefully lemmy can implement something similair.

    I would reduce the distinctiveness of the threads, personally. Lemmy/reddit/etc commonly have separate subthreads on the topic same page, so its not like it needs to be a prominent feature that each subthread is from a different comm. Note it maybe, but less prominent seems better.








  • Most veterans don’t do 20, especially now. Looks like only 17% do. The military is terrible and pays like dick. Even the lifetime pension cant compete with leaving at 4 and then socking away just the difference in pay for 16 years.

    Most of us do our initial term and leave. Lots and lots and lots of us, at about a 45% ratio based on the last polling i looked at, are liberals or leftists.

    Veterans are not a unified, conservative voting block. The majority vote for this garage, but an almost equal sized minority do not.



  • Look into podman quadlets. Its containers as systemd services, and its excellent. They run as root by default, but can be run at a user level pretty easily. Ive had no permissions issues as long as you define the user/group in the config and ensure they habe the correct rights to the required folders.

    It does take translation from docker compose files, but it’s entirely doable. Most of the environmental variables translate straight across.


  • The mega wealthy use their stock as collateral for extremely low interest loans. They need 100 million dollars? They take out a 100 million dollar loan at 1%/yr interest and stake 100 million of stock as collateral.

    This way, they get 100 million to spend ans pay 1% as “tax,” not the 15% that capitol gains demands.

    The less value his stock holdings have, the less collateral he has, the less money he has, the less power he has.

    From a wider stance, severely gutting the wealth of a billionaire by organized class action is a loud and clear warning to other billionaires to pump the brakes on trying to restart the gilded age. Millions and millions of people working together can hurt them more than a tiny few of the ultra wealthy, ultra connected can help them. That’s the point.

    Make billionaires wary again.


  • He takes loans against his tesla stock to have money to spend at all. The 12 billion he raised for his share of twitter used Tesla stock as collateral. If im not mistaken, if tesla stock falls another 300 billion, those loans will get called and he will have to liquidate a huge chunk of Tesla stock.

    Losing the value of the thing to get money is not a good way to use that thing to get more money to buy more of that thing.

    Elon won’t be able to buy more tesla. Somebody may buy more of Tesla to have control over Elon though.
