An ex-DOGE staffer known as “Big Balls” could end up receiving the highest civilian honor in the United States, placing him in the company of luminaries such as Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr. and Mother Teresa.

Somehow the dumbest timeline just upped the ante

Best we can do is unplug it.
Then plug it back in again.

Hmm, well when is the last time you tested those backups to ensure they aren't corrupt?

[–] scintilla@crust.piefed.social 7 points 4 days ago

I knew it was somehow windows fault. We should obviously be running Debian.

Fascists were killed to fucking death 80 years ago. And I'll remind us all, the men who fought were around 20 then. The youngest would be 100 now.

The Smoot-Hawley Act was 95 years ago, exacerbated the Great Depression. Not to mention the stock market greed and lack of government controls that started it. Today no one remembers what that kind of poverty was like in America.

Everyone who remembers is dead. This is simply history, we do this again and again. Our turn!
