I have a bad feeling that the temperature will continue to rise, and food production continues to decline. Even if we can survive the first few steps, the next ones will be even harder. Chances are, poor people will simply starve to death, while rich people will continue to enjoy their meat and chocolate.

With Linux related issues, it’s usually a good idea to include the name of the distro.

For example: debian apt unmet dependencies

or even: arch wiki nvidia

When looking for information about a particular rock, add the word “mineral” in the search query. If you forget to add it, you’ll usually end up reading about some mystical and magical properties you can still probably include in your next D&D campaign. If you’re feeling extra technical, try adding mindat or webmineral

Example: Chrysocolla mineral

Technical: Chrysocolla webmineral

As the nearest toaster store is just a 10 min walk away from where I live, I think I can safely continue to ignore Amazon.

Oh yeah, Americans had those too. Totally forgot.

When I ordered stuff from the local non-slave labor retailer, it takes a few days to arrive. Usually something like 2-3 days.

As far as computers are concerned, i have more than a few spare devices. Anything else though, not so much. If my toaster, hair dryer or printer dies, I’m totally screwed.

Here’s a more nuanced approach. Once this messages is posted, it’s public. during the same day, it will be copied to a bunch of servers across the fediverse. It’s easily available to everyone who cares to look for it. After a few decades, most copies of the message will be gone, but maybe one or two will still remain tucked away somewhere. It’s still technically public, but it’s getting a bit rare. That’s ok though, because nobody cares about 30 year old online ramblings written on some archaic social media that got replaced by the New Cool Thing.

After a hundred years or so, it’s highly likely that almost every record of this conversation is permanently gone. Maybe there’s a data historian who has a personal copy of the entire fediverse. What if that one historian forgets that their Crystalline Omni-Relational Uni-Protonic Tachyon storage, containing the only copy, was in the pocket of the trousers that went into the washing machine? When they hear the spaceship keys clanging inside the washing machine, they stop the cycle, but by that point, the 'original manuscript' is already gone. All you have left are some references, summaries, interpretations, translations etc. Nobody knows what the original actually said, but historians just love to debate and speculate about it anyway.

Oh, I missed that. Well, that only means I must have lived under a rock.

Yeah, that is a pretty good point. The attitude towards various electronics is entirely different. Probably really healthy too. If you stop having the ability to check doom and gloom news and anger inducing online debates every 3 minutes, it’s probably going to do wonders to your mental health.

If you don’t bring any protective gear, you better run when things get ugly. If you plan to stay when things get ugly, you better bring the appropriate gear with you.

Can we put USA on the list of tyrannical dictatorships already?

Oh that’s a good point. Totally missed that one. Seems that there’s also a webapp for other platforms.

Best of all, you can also install it using winget. Yes, package management through the cmd in Windows. Well, as long as you’re the admin of that computer. Don’t expect this to work with all corporate laptops.
