I kinda wonder what people in the 3 letter agencies are thinking right now. I would hope that enough of these agencies actually view Trump as a fundamental threat to democracy, because he actually is. People have warned for this to happen, for a while now, even though many are surprised at the speed at which it happens. But still, you would kind of hope for some of these agencies to actually stand for the constitution, instead of for the ruling party and his current president.
The US is so much more than just the current political ruling class. It's sad that there seems at least, to be so little visible opposition to their efforts to derail the US geopolitical power and to overthrow the system of law and order. One who the Republicans should hold deep, and definitely the people who pledge their allegiance to the constitution. I wonder if it would have gone different if someone like Saunders or Obama would have tried a similar play.
Totally agree! I use CEO in that way, but yeah, he is definitely an uber rich asshole, who is paid way more than could ever be fair. Definitely more than could ever be what he 'deserves' or 'earns'.
Right now, i think some of these people are absolutely unable to participate in society because they literally exist outside of the normal bounds, far outside of them. And exactly that will create major problems, well it already has and we're living through it. What's to keep these assholes from actually demanding this kind of work hours from workers? Like, they will do so, absolutely, once you let them.
I'm just not at all sure in what way in the current liberal system, we're able to limit the wealth and power of these individuals. Yeah, taxes of course, but these people are so deeply connected to political class and are able to bully the legal system... So, that's a hard challenge there.
Well, if Sergey Brin wants to work 60 hour weeks, be my guest. Sounds like a good idea for the CEO class, since they should really justify what they're paid.
WaPo should really remove the 'Democracy dies in darkness' if they choose to no longer support democracy. Kind of like how Google removed the, 'Don't be evil' motto, when it didn't suit them anymore.
If BlueSky is full of Jew hate, "it's legion", but you’re still using it over Mastodon and Mbin, doesn’t that contradict the idea that antisemitism makes a platform unattractive? If it were your main issue, wouldn’t both be equally bad? Seems like the deciding factor is engagement for you personally, not what moderation happens or doesn't happen.
If antisemitism were the real deal-breaker, you wouldn’t be on BlueSky either.
I agree! Loved their chemistry, and that definitly could have been fleshed out a little more. All though, the choice to generally focus more on Jules, is still a good decision. But yeah, would not have minded a little more episodes with them.
Yeah, it's a classic for sure! I remember watching in High School as well, mostly on Comedy Central.
What would be your prefered speed? Twice a week? On the weekend days? Let me know. Since it's all very new, i'm very interested in what people here want to see.
That's right! And if there is no Group Policy that you can use to disable, than people will write a Powershell script for it to do so quick and dirty.
The widgets pane for instance was for some time only able to be disabled if you run Windows 11 Enterprise. Intune did not offer a policy for business OS versions. So quite quickly people just wrote a script in Powershell to do it themselves.
I'm pretty excited for the idea of a Discord Server (or other platform) to extend the rewatch episodes with. But as you say, that would require a good team of moderators, or at the very least a team to start with. Right now this Lemmy isn't a lot of work because of the low volume of members/posts, but with Discord there will be more active moderation required.
Open question: Any people here interested in helping me run this Discord (or other) server for the purpose of live chat?
If not, we'll get around to it in the future because i like the idea a lot.
No plans for a live chat yet, but i'm open to suggestions! It would be a comment thread for the first episode. I haven't looked at Matrix, IRC or Discord yet for something like this. What would you propose?
If enough people are interested in chat, we can make it happen. I'm just a one man show for now, so i'm gonna need some help at some point.
The thread for episode S01E01 will go live coming monday at around 8 PM / 20:00 o'clock CEST. I've never posted episode threads like these, so any feedback regarding time is welcome. I've settled on once a week, maybe we'll increase but for now that seems to be about right.
HP prodesk is all you need! You can probably do with a Raspberry, but if you want to have some room to play with, then pick something more powerful like an older desktop pc.

Good question. Would love that!

We've been doing this for 15 weeks already. Time flies. How do you like it? Should we increase the speed, or keep it like this?
Thanks everyone who shared their experience these last few weeks.
Yes! Definitly agree. I think my favorite episode of season 1, just so much fun.
Yeah, it's a classic for sure! I remember watching in High School as well, mostly on Comedy Central.

Hell yeah! So stoked!
Thanks for the update! We'll brace for some downtime!

And next, give me each of your fingers. We want to sure its really you! We can’t have you scamming for snacks now, can we?
Allright, but why?
Edit: You mean, the other 2 comments i deleted on this thread? Got an error, was too impatient ;)

Are there any countdown timers for this? I think this really calls for one!
Tempted to code a website for it :)
