@randahl Most of the people I follow don't post much anymore. Whether we like it or not, the absence of an engagement algorithm of any kind does kind of work against, well, engagement.

@darwinwoodka It's pretty much the only way to get ahead. Wages alone are a treadmill. Which is of course the way the boss-man likes it.

@darwinwoodka
Er, I suspect you haven't taken my meaning, or are expecting me to defend something I've no wish to defend.

@SaftyKuma @rbreich

Indeed. If McDonalds' CEO's compensation is mostly in the form of a taxable salary, that would be extremely unusual. That's not how oligarchs compensate themselves in this country.

@makerbymistake For me the big attraction of the RP0/02 is ethernet gadget mode, allowing it get both power and ethernet via a single USB connection to a host.

I have two of these hanging off of linux-based network appliances (ordinary consumer routers running OpenWRT acting as managed switches and APs) providing various services, so the don't need PoE, a switch port or a wall-wart, and their availability/uptime is the same as these appliances, which basically never get turned off or rebooted.

@morgfair At last, something I don't actually want him to stop doing.

Reportedly Russia's putting mannequins in some of their field trenches, in the hope of making Ukraine waste effort and munitions on them.

But y'know, it has other benefits! Dummies don't surrender or retreat, and as fighters go they're no worse than the regular Russian military. Also you don't have to pay off their families when the AFU blows them up. It's really a bargain all around.

@rubenbolling Assuming they're not doing this already, I think the only answer is homework assignments should consist of study only, and original work like answering essay questions will have to take place in class, either with pencil and paper, or on computers whose access to the internet is disabled for that period. (It's easy to do that, all institutional internet access is via a proxy server which can be disabled at will.)

@beebrookshire Sounds like his reach is limited to people willing to consistently listen to a 3 hour Gish Gallop. So at least he's a self-limiting affliction.

@rpilocator Was really hoping for an official PoE hat for the RP5, but they don't have a release date for it yet. Waveshare's looks OK, and their reputation for board quality is good, but given the new peripheral power management scheme I'd be much more comfortable with one from the factory.

@JSharp1436 @JamesGleick
Even as an atheist I think this is kind of getting away from the point here.

Plus ça change. It didn't work then. Trouble is, it's kinda working now.

@PJ_Evans @rodhilton
Yes, somehow. But the sake of your mental health, don't read the replies to them.

@w7voa Reminds me to watch Paper Moon again. Also about a grifter selling bibles.

@jaycee @Fife4Europe
Per the article they are doing it to reduce their dependency on the UK

@ct_bergstrom Damn. And I aced the interview too.

Further proof that masks work:
