@piggo dutch is good 😜

@m what is MTG in your world?

P.S. in mine, it's [Meteosat Third Generation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteosat#Third_Generation_(%22MTG%22)) 😄

@academicalnerd I guess the thread was indeed 1) enumerating observations; and then 2) extrapolating from there. So yes, (2) is just a speculation, nothing more.

As for societal inertia - middle class/mainstream has that indeed, but where the author of the thread is IMO correct is that crooks and the underworld have no true inertia in any society - they are the most dynamic segment of any society and react/adapt the fastest. Just ask your parents about how the wild west of the 90's "felt".

When it comes to inertia, though, what I find most intriguing is that as sanctions and the new image of Russia entered middle-class "consciousness" in the West over the last year, the inertia will keep it there for at least one full generation. That is societal inertia at work. And that is no smart extrapolation, it's cheap to bet on it by now.

@academicalnerd This https://nitter.hu/betelgeuse1922/status/1606249858926612485#m reminded of your post to which I respond. Seems like the same "mood" there.

@pony Should I send you a "like/fav" to cheer you up? Whataver, here you have 👍 to cheer you up a bit today. Take care there!

@academicalnerd Whatever you fancy Young d'Artagnan. Disregarding your somewhat reckless tone, I feel you are up to some good stuff. Enjoy it and take care. Somebody on the other side is thinking of you from time to time. Cheers!

It starts to rebalance the storage for redundancy once again. If I recall correctly, the specific config here is what node redundancy you are asking for vs. how many nodes are up. E.g., if you have 2-nodes fail redundancy and 5 nodes, it probably won't even blink when one of them goes down. But my experience with Ceph is somewhat outdated already...

@academicalnerd All the best to you too! Best of luck there. And don't fall too much for the doom and gloom in your country's TV and general media space. The world will be a place worth exploring and enjoying even when those propagandists over there turn out to be wrong (as I am sure they will).

Christmas mood: midnight baking, kids helping, everybody having fun, sneaky snacking, pot licking, jokes, quarrels. Good stuff. Let Christmas begin! #baking #cakeposting @hob

@piggo Is that actually a loss? Maybe it's a feature...

What a bleak picture of the world you paint there... I wish you that one day you'll see the humankind through a more positive lens. It's not all black. There is a lot to be happy about too.

I feel, at this point it's clear that our worldviews just differ too much for continuing a fruitful discussion, we don't seem to share a similar outlook.

Anyhow, thank you very much for this conversation. It was a pleasure. Should you one day get into a more positive mood, I'd be glad to hear about it. Take care.

Don't be so cynical please. Companies are groups of people too, not some "beings". When those individuals get convinced (and they do every day, it just takes time!), companies start to act differently too. After all, they are built to do exactly that: react to public demand. Not the other way round. Keep the good work up, it will pay off. Eventually.

That we need it is clear. The reality is that we probably won't get it quickly. I was not saying that we _need_ to delay, my position was rooted in a simple recognition/acceptance that this takes time. We started late, so we'll end late - i.e., we'll need to accept the damage, there's no way around it.

At the same time, I am positive that we'll eventually figure it out - as we humans tend to. The collective action will come. Just it seems to be in our nature that it only comes when there's no other way around it - that is, too late. And I am afraid, that that moment still didn't come 😕 . It will only come when it touches the vast majority of humankind. Yes, by then the damage will be even greater. Unfortunately, it seems human societies are these stupid slow learners...

I also wish for it to be different - and it doesn't stop me to work for a faster solution. At the same time it is what it is...

@waiterich

@EllisCrawford Well, maybe you should see it in a positive light: if the person was unaware AND actually genuinely doesn't care, it's a positive thing, isn't it? After all it means that you are accepted as you are for the human being you are and not for labels you, or others attach to your person. I guess that was the objective all along, wasn't it?
