There’s a baseline 20-30% of all polls taken over the world that is made up of hateful nutjobs and conspiracy theorists

There could be someone running for office who has figured out how to solve all the world’s problems for free, and that 20-30% will vehemently oppose them.

The main thing to remember about authoritarians is that none have ever been documented to be impervious to small pieces of metal moving at high speed.

That’s an anti-dog duh

About 35-40h generally, I’m a software engineer.

I enjoy my job, but ultimately the point of me doing my work is to be able to do whatever I want with my free time. Life is for living after all

But anyone who isn’t a moron knows that MBFC is an incredibly biased source… Right?

Psh 10TB

You can barely fit call of duty on that

Absolutely zero if I’m trying to sleep or only just waking up

Managed amounts if I’m watching a TV or using a computer

Probably true, worth pointing out I browse with the “old.” theme when I’m at my computer which doesn’t come out bad at all given it’s pretty basic HTML (just tried it on my phone too, which is something I wasn’t sure would give a good result)

You’re right though, it would be a good pull request to the Lemmy UI to add a print stylesheet

I was going to say this but using the print to PDF functionality in most OSes

Has SES done LEO satellites before? They seem like the obvious people to do this

Where you give away shit too [big/much effort] to haul somewhere
