It’s nice that you’re hopeful, but green energy in capitalism isn’t enough. We need degrowth or a revolution to actually save not just humanity, but the planet as well.
While I agree with this article from a user perspective, it’s completely wrong from an admin perspective.
Admin for Windows is leaps and bounds better than Mac. Having to wait weeks for ABM to be connected by Apple, plus the fact that once you have ABM setup it requires third party systems to connect to it to actually do any administration (JAMF, Addigy, etc) is frustrating and laughable all at once. Then on top of all of that, getting devices into ABM means you have to wipe the device. It’s so antagonistic to management it’s insane.
It wasn’t his money.
1·1 year agoWe aren’t doing the recycling necessary to reclaim used materials from ewaste that is needed. While we may “have enough” materials to build enough renewable energy to meet our current needs initially, those materials will eventually need to be replaced, and unless we degrowth the energy output we currently need to be met will only grow. Those materials are only going to get harder and harder to extract, requiring higher and higher fuel consumption as those minerals aren’t located in urban centers with easy access to the electrical grid, they will require higher and higher fuel consumption for ICEs, internal combustion engines.
This also isn’t considering the continued growth in consumer electronics and the integration of electronics in public and private infrastructure that use those same minerals taking those minerals away from the use in renewables. Then there is the damage to the environment and people that mining those minerals requires, nor the damage that recycling ewaste does to the environment and people.
Without a socialist revolution in the core capitalist countries (global north), the continued growth is going to mean that they will consume the majority of rare earth minerals for both products and renewables, while pushing the impacts on environment and people onto global south countries, until they either refuse to do the damage to themselves or collapse under the strain of climate change, or both. In turn, that will mean a global shift to fascism as capital seeks to protect itself at all cost. Which then will lead to climate wars, over resources, and denying those to people outside the global north.
Renewables are part of the solution, but without socialism and degrowth to consumption levels of that of Cuba, the focus of renewables as the only solution is a pipe dream.
Read How To Blow Up A Pipeline, or Socialist States and the Environment.
There aren’t enough rare earth minerals on the earth to create the necessary equipment for solar, wind, etc to meet our current energy needs. The answer isn’t just green energy, we need to actively contract the size of the economy and make less shit that we then throw away.
I’ve seen it respond to a prompt for a PowerShell script to send emails from user accounts with a command that was depreciated a year ago. The script also didn’t have the proper connection commands included either, nor did it make clear that you would have to connect.
You mean pos mayor of NYC, Eric Adams? Yeah that checks out.
31·2 years agoThe benefit is you can only open up 80/443, rather than a port per service/app.
I would but I had a terrible habit of getting snagged on things when walking around. I’ll take the worse quality of Bluetooth over destroying my port, my headphones, or my ears.
His foundation is a stack of lies. His desire is the same as it always was, control of what should be free.
Thankfully there are pcie cards that provide plenty of USB-C ports, but that we have to do that at all is annoying.
There are extensions for it.
Personally, I use syncthing to send my keepass database to the various devices I need it on.
Liberals are very quickly taking a turn into undeniable fascism. I was concerned what might happen when the climate wars truly begin, but now I don’t have any concerns, I know.
This article hedges itself so much.
It’s about money and power.
The owners of capital explicitly believe that they can dictate every aspect of your life: where you live, under what conditions you work, your access to food, how you spend your time outside of work.
They want you to have to spend time in social reproduction, unpaid, to meet their standards and account for their failings.
If you are forced to come in: if you live too far, too bad, sleep less, don’t see your family, drive further. Don’t get into an accident though, or be late due to traffic. Ensure you have a vehicle and you are keeping it in a state that will enable you to meet our demands of you being present for us to almost entirely ignore.
Oh we don’t provide lunch. I hope you brought lunch or are willing to pay for delivery or rush to get food in the half hour we allot for you to eat (unpaid). I also hope you spent time before work prepping that food, as well as your breakfast and dinner.
We expect you to be clean and presentable. Oh, you don’t interact with the public, let alone the C Suite? Doesn’t matter. Shower, shave/makeup, have a separate set of clothes just for the purpose of being here 5 days a week.
The chair we gave you uncomfortable, the lights too bright, the cubicle too small, the floor too noisy? Sorry, this is what was cheapest.
You want us to improve our ventilation system to account for the pandemic that got us to do remote work full time in the first place? What are you nuts? We don’t actually care if you live or die just as long as we can extract the maximum value out of you that we can before you go.
All of this for their ego and to ensure that the real estate market in commercial properties, which is over-leveraged and obviously no longer necessary in the current state of the world, doesn’t collapse.
Fuck them. Fuck them all.

The myth of Germany efficiency is slowly becoming unwound.
JFC, it’s a post about how M$ supports a genocide, and part of the response to the genocide is to BDS. What else is being on Linux in this context other than BDS?
