Hier fehlt das Wort Neuwagen.

There is tons of work and the local market supports that. Find a way to use equipment from somebody else for cheap to start and at the rates that the shops get payed you probably would get byy with finding one out two jobs per month. Take control of your life. You can do it.

Only way to fix that is to bribe Andy to write it now.

This. Did a seminar on these techniques during my it security degree. Porn sites invented that to detect people that use competing sites.

Jup, something is missing in this story.

Given the rise of the far right in Germany, I tend to agree. This would bundle EU resources and take control from single States in case the far right takes over.

I’d very much like that the right not take control of the strongest EU army right after we build it.

Art lies in the eye of the observer.

This is actually a very promising thing that is currently in phase 2 trials for celiac disease. The main problem with it is that you have to give the patient what triggers his disease to unlearn the thing from the system. Meaning if you are deadly allergic, this would still kill you. Recent research suggests that really small doses can still help to reduce the immune response over time (study about peanut allergy if i remember correctly).

My son was recently diagnosed with celiac. And although living with it is no big thing, and I’m not looking forward to him puking his guts out a few times, I’m hoping this will heal him permanently as celiac often is a cause for cancer later in life due to regular micro exposure. And celiac does not go away by itself right for that reason.

I’m excited for my friends with multiple sclerosis. The medication helps keeping the disease in check, but they still have to go through some of the attacks. One of those inflammation attacks could be their last ever with this treatment.

So: very hopeful, I have an alert on the study results, they are due any day now. The bookmark is on my desktop though, so might add that later if there is wider interest.

While I don’t necessarly agree with your opinion, I actually enjoy your perspective a lot. Thanks for that :)

Afaik elon likes to say he is autistic, but there is yet to surface any proof to that.

I distinctly remember a story of elon being bullied. I also think elitist schools have an even worse bullying problem. As much as you might not believe it, billionaires are human. Dehumanizing someone to make it easier to feel good about hurting them is what the right do and is a trap we should not be falling into.

This is the OG “mods are asleep” meme.

My take as a loser in school: being treated like losers get treated in school leaves scars that are very hard to get rid off. It makes you driven beyond any reason. I would argue treating someone like shit because of circumstances beyond their control is not only creating quite capable assholes but also not better than treating someone worse because of the color of his skin. So maybe everybody who piles the upvotes onto this post: take a long look into the mirror and find some love and understanding for the people around you. Takes alot of reflection and therapy to see the damage and it usually does not help healing it completely.

I would agree and add that companies are no option either. Can’t have the state handle that though, look at the German rail and telecommunications companies. Utterly broken.

Best thing I have found working sometimes is housing cooperatives. “Wohnungsbau Genossenschaft”. Which are incorporated as a non profit. But even those work only sometimes and only if most of the shares are owned by people actually living in the networks housing.

Let’s some to simplify every person gets to buy only one home and this is only for them and their families to enjoy.

Now they still have more money than you. They just won’t invest in a house but somewhere else instead. Now nobody can rent, great all the banks now get a ton of revenue for all that money they lend out because everybody needs to buy. (Making them insanely rich)…

Inequality is the problem, just peddling a simple solution like getting rid of one symptom is not gonna fix this. Also changing the system has historically done nothing in that way either.

Taxing the rich would. ;)

Landlords are easy to hate, but they are necessary. Having them paying high taxes and having strong protections for renters will keep them honest and contributing and the market balanced.

Let’s start with some constructive work instead of hate flaming memes.

An interesting addendum to your question: this is not a exclusively US based phenomenon. In Germany there are the Reichsbürgers they have similar ideas.

They think legally the state has no claim to rule and most people just don’t know they still live in the German Reich still.

So they have their own king selling them passports and they have pretty aggressive group think to try and enforce their claims.

My wife’s dad is one of them. The main thing I recognize comes from a pathological need to know better than everybody else. It’s very tightly coupled to their sense of worth and identity. They are better than everybody else because they have seen the light.

Pretty culty behavior and just enough pseudo truth to keep simple minds saying “yeah there might be something there”. Like “vaccination causes autism, they just don’t want you to know”.

Makes a loser in societies eyes, but a superhuman in their eyes. And yes, they still run into a wall and just keep trying to adjust their angle to hit that sacred sweet spot. Because now they need to prove how they are better and as they already have sacrificed so much they can’t be wrong to continue. (Just like a gambler who already lost a lot.)

So it’s a few psychological dynamics that grip into each other like gears and that ratchet them ever so tightly to their belief until there is no turning back.

Funnily enough I have written a system to do exactly that as a bachelor’s theses for IT security.

Places client certificates and a client inside the initrd and requests securely the key to unlock.

The sever waits for you to approve the request before providing the key. The key is only held in memory during boot.

I had a version that included for a hidden key provider and planned for a version that included time based auto unlocks etc.

I was planning to package that and release it as open source.

Still might do that.

Why not expand the battery leads down the wall so you don’t have to climb?

Already throwing him under the bus I see. That was as quickly as expected.
