  • I appreciate you pulling all of this together. My only issue with it is that it ascribes a religious reason for Trump and such reasoning denies the, very scary, human reason for Trump. Religion, here, is providing a reason and that reason is so much more comforting than the reality that we’ve allowed fascism to take over our country and religious institutions.

    I wish it was the “end of days”, but, in reality, this is just more human suffering and more to come. I wish we weren’t capable of this.

    Let’s also not forget that inflation is a rate of change. Even at zero, goods and service won’t return to their old prices. That’d be a negative rate of inflation, also known as deflation. If you think the Feds fucked the common person when inflation was high, just wait to see what they’d do to stop deflation (seen as far worse than inflation because it hurts those who hold goods and services - aka the rich).





  • The problem with these types of redundancy schemes is that it simply takes a Internet backbone hiccough (or AWS fuck up) to cause there to be multiple primaries (i.e. lemmy.world is online still, but some portion of the internet can’t see it, so a replica promotes itself to primary, people use both, how do you reconcile it).

    This is not even beginning to talk about the nightmare scenarios possible if someone hacks a replica.

    Edit: Still, this is a good thought and similar to how some actual software packages do things.
