Yeah for real, why is Bill Gates still among polite society?

That’s true and worth noting. The difference is much starker when the benchmark is food and fuel, since real estate (and stocks) rose much higher compared to other things.

Between 2020 and 2024 there was about 22% inflation. 1.22x$195,400=$238,388. So there’s still over $110,000 of price inflation to account for past devaluation of the dollar.

Correct, just the communities. I still see .ml user posts and comments in other communities, which is tolerable. Plenty of them are fine. For the that aren’t, the heckler’s veto sometimes keeps the dumber narratives at bay.

I appreciate that instance labels carry some meaning of how a user is likely to act.

Lemmy.ml is the only instance block I have, after seeing too many illiberal shit takes, bad faith arguments and socialist astroturf posts.

My instance quickly defederated from HexBear and LemmyGrad which is just fine by me, it’s helpful most of the bad eggs are concentrated in just a few places.

I want to get off Mr. Bones’ Wild Ride

This incident will be reported!

Sudo apt install AGAIN!

Coming from Kali Linux, this is still normal

Right, it’s remembering them and using them efficiently that’s hard. It’s amusing watching coworkers try to flex in vim and then struggle at the most basic tasks.

I’ve never even mentioned Marxists or Marxism, seriously go outside

Yeah, standard anti-Marxist right-winger, that’s why I chose the “LGBT+ friendly, furry general purpose Lemmy instance”. Maybe touch grass?

I signed up for tech and finance news, memes and furry content, so I’m happier to mainly see just those things.

My instance’s choice to defederate has no bearing whatsoever on Hexbear users’ free speech rights.

Here’s an admin’s long and well-reasoned explanation: https://pawb.social/comment/1766861

None of it is visible to me anymore, but I’d welcome you to view the admin defederation announcements, many of which included rationale and examples of that content.

That’s how I’d characterize the insanely toxic comments stanning dictators and defending genocides that I saw regularly before my instance had enough

Absolutely nothing of value was lost when my instance defederated from Hexbear

The Soviets may have conveniently lost them (though there is a lot still available to history), but if you want a real eye opener about living under a communist surveillance state, check out the Stasi museum in former East Berlin, the scale of it is absolutely shocking.

Argentina hasn’t had anything resembling a free market economy in the past hundred years, but the 8 months of austerity to fix that shit sandwich is the best example of ‘pure capitalism’ you can come up with?

You can do something similar with damaged metal threads, instead of toothpicks using copper wire strands. Project Farm has a video on the technique comparing it to other fixes: https://youtube.com/watch?v=jknMrFOGMOQ
