The reason they are paid more than you is because they have a skill you will probably never possess.

Through a mixture of selfishness and manipulation they are able to evade ever having to be self reliant. This means they are experts at getting work done through others.

Which, unfortunately, is what management is all about.

Hard agree. My takeaway is the moral of the story is always do quality engineering. There have been like 10 movies and they still don't know how to construct an enclosure.

Sun Tzu's Concubines (titusng.com)

This whole situation reminds me of the fable of Sun Tzu and King He Lu's concubines. I've linked a copy of the story, better than my TlDr, but here it is anyway. TlDr; Sun Tzu was tasked with training the kings concubines as soldiers. He gave them instructions, and they refused to carry them out, laughing and not taking it seriously. He then had two of the Kings favourite concubines executed against his wishes. Suddenly they were taking it very seriously and doing the right thing.

It doesn't take much to control a populace. The arrest of Luigi will make people he might have targeted feel safe again. But if they didn't feel safe - ie he was never caught - he might have made real change and the targeted group would start doing the right thing for fear of retribution.

It would have been an interesting alternate timeline.

I'll admit I've drifted off Lemmy the last month or so.. content was a bit repetitive and felt like just an echo chamber of the same ideas. I didn't go back to Reddit, Reddit lost me to tiktok it turns out.

Jumped back on now and so many more posts have inspired me to comment. I'm a comment contributor generally but I wasn't feeling it.

Anyway.. just wanted to pop in and say I'm really enjoying it. Not that I was ever going anywhere but this is a great trajectory

Then xp to vista happened and it looked pretty but was unusable. Then 7 came out and it solved all the BS and was a relief. Then 8 came out and it looked pretty but was unusable. Nobody is quite sure what happened with 9 but 10 was ok I guess, better than 8. Then I started using Linux because I was sick of the bullshit.

Making an investment out of a necessity is immoral any way you cut it.

Health should be public.

Food needs to turn a profit, that's understandable, but also food food is not finite where the rich can hoard it all... Or maybe that's their next thing 🤔 nah won't happen because it's perishable

This is one of my favourite YouTube channels at the moment. Really high quality medium form documentaries. I particularly love this episode. They are growing but still pretty small.

Hey, one thing that has confused me a bit about Lemmy is just how bad it seems to be at handling any traffic at all.

Do you have any stats on how many request per second etc you are getting? I saw the thread the other day with your 24cpu server and the graphs and figure if anyone has a bit of a handle on it, if figure this community can work it out.

Like, if its just doing a couple of database reads and (from what i can tell I'm on mobile) just serving a JSON API to a single page JavaScript application, why is it so hard on the server?
