> "99% survival rate" 1% dead means around 3.5 million dead, in the US alone. Do you consider that acceptable?

> Who does this benefit?? Great upheaval brings great opportunity, if you are ruthless enough to exploit it. There are unfortunately many actors around the world who - for various …

Exactly, things have a purpose and more often than not, that purpose is to be used up, possibly repaired and then used again, until it finally wears out or breaks completely. I ten…

I didn't have COVID, and I also only had a day or so of fever after my J&J shot in June. My girlfriend had a similarly mild reaction, and we've both been tested regularly for vario…

Equipment keeps on running until it needs to be repaired or replaced. If you can't get parts or new machinery at that point, you're screwed for a while, currently that can be a lon…

> Global warming is going to open up the northwest passage and the arctic trade routes which would cut shipping times by a huge percentage from asia to europe. It would be the grea…

We're not seeing empty shelves in supermarkets just yet, groceries are still available, because most places have reasonably local production available. But electronics, cars, machi…

Maybe, just maybe we should take a long hard look at just how fragile and easy to topple all of our supply chains are, and actually do something to build in more resilience, to bet…

This goes for all big corporations, all of them lie through their teeth and only care about the appearance of caring, because that's a lot more profitable than actually caring. Red…

The works of the roots of the vines, of the trees, must be destroyed to keep up the price, and this is the saddest, bitterest thing of all. Carloads of oranges dumped on the ground…

I will admit that you had me for a minute there. Pretty solid impression of a ghoulish libertarian.

You should sit down and calculate the absolutely disastrous consequences for the economy if you put millions of (jobless) people on the streets, during a massive epidemic. The rise…

I will admit that I live in a place that does it right, namely Copenhagen. There is plentiful public transit, local shops and the entire city is extremely walkable/bikeable. I don'…

This assumes that your shopping needs can only be met by shopping malls. I do all my daily shopping in local shops, I have 5 or 6 in walking distance, 20+ in bicycle distance. The …

>The landlord didn't assume the risk that they couldn't remove the resident AND the resident wouldn't have to pay. Then they assumed wrong. National emergencies happen, in this ins…

I agree that collaboration is always desirable, and that common standards are beneficial to everyone. But the GTK filepicker is simply an embarrassment, there's no other word for i…

You can block all outgoing requests to ports 53 and 853 for DNS and DoT respectively. That's the easy part. For DoH, you either have to block port 443 (bad idea), or block the IPs …

Mikrotik products are very popular among people running WISPs, and their product range reflects this, with a whole range designed specifically for that purpose. Even their standard…

The point is to be against unjust hierarchies, such as royalty, nepotism and the like. Anarchists and solarpunks alike abhor unjust hierarchies, instead they trust in experts and t…

You do know that anarchist ideology is literally defined by the opposition to states and state-lile structures, right? It seems odd to tar specifically anti-statists with wanting t…

You're thinking of Stalinist/Leninist authoritarian communism, which certainly doesn't encompass all of left-wing ideology, only a niche. When Stalin came to power, one of the firs…
