  • yeah I love Asimov but the quote is stupid. What is a slave supposed to do to it’s master? Write a strongly worded letter? Beg for others to save them?

    Violence absolutely makes sense when there’s no diplomatic solution and unfortunately quarter into the 21st century - where we should have personal robots and moon bases - that is still a pretty big issue.


  • Reddit 100% was censoring and shadow banning any kbin or lemmy mentions.

    I wouldn’t even be surprised if reddit actively promoted or even creates negative comments. There was a precedent of people abandoning Digg so they were clearly very aware and afraid.

    At the end of the day it’s impossible to tell with these incredibly opaque networks. It’s even hard to confirm comment visibility as Reddit employs data fudging and shadow banning.

    Just another reminder that nothing any closed source social media says should be trusted, ever.



  • Yeah but almost every American I meet here traveling in SEA or Europe is a perfectly reasonable person.

    Dunno I just am in such disbelief that my world experience doesn’t match reality at all. I even consider myself pretty well traveled with 20 years of experience traveling around the globe though admittedly I’ve never been to the USA yet and I fear I might not get to see Yellowstone or Big Sur ever at this point or do I even want to?

    Kinda sucks to be a fan of US now ngl.

    • political institutions should promotoe individual rights and social equality
    • critqued organized religion
    • the government should serve the people
    • wrote the famous line “These are the times that try men’s souls” during civil war
    • people have the inherit right to reform and/or dismantle oppresive goverments
    • all individuals possess inalienable rights (human rights basically)

    That’s what I gather from his wiki and some chatgpt queries. Never heard of him before (not an american) but honestly — I’m a big fan now.


  • US is system is so bad. The constant pandering to “founding fathers” as if it’s even possible to have strong enough vision that it would last 200+ years and refusal to innovate past the ridiculous two party system is just sad tbh.

    Yet nothing will change because you can’t change these things without a revolution apparently.









  • I really like how nushell can parse output into it’s native structures called tables using the detect command.

    Unlike string outputs, tables allow for easy data manipulation through pipes like select foo will select foo key and you can filter and even reshape the datasets.

    This is great if you need to work with large data pipes like kuberneters so you can do something like:

    kubectl get pods --all-namespaces | detect columns | where $it.STATUS !~ "Running|Completed" | par-each { |it| kubectl -n $it.NAMESPACE delete pod $it.NAME }
    

    This looks complex but it parses kubectl table string to table object -> filters rows only where status is not running or completed -> executes pod delete task for each row in parallel.

    Nushell take a while to learn but having real data objects in your terminal pipes is incredible! Especially with the detect command.

    There’s are few more shells that do that though nu is the most mature one I’ve seen so far.





  • It’s incredible how little people spend on free software :(

    I used to have a dream of developing free software and launched a couple of big projects (thousands of github stars, millions of downloads) and no one fucking pays for anything no matter how easy you make it and how critical your software is to them.

    To give some perspective - some Youtubers earn same amount annually from Patreon than both Gnome and KDE yearly budgets combined (which is ~3M usd).

    I realized that the only way to fund something is to make people pay either through early releases, insider programs or something that forces the credit card form on them. That’s the only way.
