Ah we’re now all the way back to '00. I wonder when Mr. T ate my balls will show up

Yeah, same. I left a bit before the mass exodus, just like I did with Reddit -> Lemmy. I also joined IRC a bit before the Eternal September.

I feel like some sort of herald of Eternal September. So if your social media site is suddenly full of clueless morons, you can just blame me.

Protect your hearing, kids!

Seriously, PROTECT YOUR FUCKING HEARING. I was young and stupid (now I’m no longer young) and went to way too many raves, gigs etc. without any sort of hearing protection, and now I have a nice constant background track of EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE and can’t hear higher frequencies worth shit

So it’s not actually a smartphone vulnerability as much as it is an SMS (or any other similar system with delivery receipts) vulnerability? Your old brick of a Nokia phone would have this same problem

That’s more or less how I think about this. We need to face the fact that we’re some amount of fucked regardless, and start planning for how we’re going to survive that without society turning into a reenactment of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road

I’m not entirely convinced that anything we do at this point can save us – or rather, save modern industrial society.

The human race will likely be fine in almost any scenario except some sort of Venus-like hellscape (which probably isn’t as unlikely as we’d like to think…), but we’ve set in motion such enormous changes that the damage is already done even if we went carbon negative right at this very second, so personally I think it’s unlikely that current mass-scale industrial society will survive a 100 years or that we’ll be able to avert billions of deaths.

it remains unclear whether Denmark’s centrist government — with its overall, hard-line stance against immigration — will extend these temporary protections for Ukrainians.

a) Their government isn’t “centrist.” It’s right wing pretending to be centrist, because right-wingers always pretend they represent the majority, are impartial and don’t “have an ideology” unlike those nasty leftists

b) they won’t.
