Some dingbat that occasionally builds neat stuff without breaking others. The person running this public-but-not-promoted instance because reasons.

Disney used to do that a lot, ‘get it now before it goes back into the vault’ in some effort to make it special/get-it-while-you-can.
Having everything available all the time would leave them with little to put on a pedestal as a coming soon limited time thing. Just one person’s theory though.
Should not, wonder if there’s any adguard/pihole lists to smack OneDrive/box/Dropbox/etc domains and just take these services out before they can start.
How long do we have to put up with this charade of her being an impartial judge? Hardly a day goes by that she doesn’t entertain some absurd request to impede the case in whatever way possible.
Someone pulled that formula straight out their ass
A deadline set by a government agency for government workers, NOT a ‘Google Pixel Deadline’. Stop writing alarmist headlines to make it sound like Google is gonna shut off your phone if you don’t comply. You should update, but knock this writing style off people.
Are you not paying for my PHD, the time and efforts put in to obtain it, and then demanding I use those skills obtained for your benefit at what price you decide appropriate? If so you are just taking of my efforts without concern for me and my well being. It’s just coerced labor of the intellectual and skilled then as much as it is to demand heavy labor without due compense. Without the expert’s guidance the laborer has nothing to labor for and so those distinctions need to be recognized. There is some reasonable cap and it falls well short of the billionaire sitting on a horde of wealth, but to demand of the accomplished while giving freely to the idle punishes innovation, ambition, and leadership.
Plugging a modem into the POTS made them smart I say.
It changes over extended time spans on the order of generations, and I might say it’s cyclical but it’s hard to see in a given lifetime.
In the early 1900s USA people where held at the absolute mercy of the wealthy, working long hours in wretched conditions for a pittance.
During and shortly after the WW1 & WW2 there was a massive push for unity and worker rights, the unions took shape and the working class took a large chunk of power away from the owners to better their standing.
In the 50s-70s there was a time of keeping pace with the neighbors, competitive but also concerned with the well-being of your fellow people.
Then from the 80s through early 2000s it switched and became a hyper individualistic ‘I got mine’ mindset.
In the last couple decades we’ve started to see a return to a push for collective good, but it has been held back a lot by a heavily divided population with half blaming the other half for the decay of society while those with means just sit back and watch the sniping from afar.
I’ve only been around for those last couple portions so a lot of my perspective is just my impressions from history books, but I guess the point I’d make is to look at the ebb and flow of things in historical context. People’s willingness to defer to power is both personal and couched in the willingness of society to support the individual.
Zabbix or Cacti are nice ways to draw maps that also serve a functional role in keeping track of the activity and alerting.
Eh, don’t inflate yourself that much. CA is important but it’s still dwarfed by the country as a whole. Losing somewhere around 10% of the GDP and population would suck, but it’s not the solitary pillar holding things up either.
I would argue against the functional enslavement of anyone, whether the basic laborer forced to work multiple jobs just to survive, or in taking from the accomplished skilled professional who used their time and dedication to become exceptionally skilled by not compensating them for their efforts.
Nobody should have to struggle excessively to live, but they should have the ability to excell if they choose. So you can make what you will of that for a title.
Yeah, stop wasting our miniscule $800 Billion budget on those $200 hammers and toilet seats…
There is a segment that would argue the doctor and the florist should have equal accomodations in society, despite the massive disparity in training and skill required. I don’t ascribe to that logic is what I’m pointing to.

If any given state could make a go of it on their own it’s CA. Take that away from the USA and there would be some major shifts in the world economic policy. Why anyone would suggest such is a far fetched idea though.
All valid points, however the ‘real job’ one has a caveat in my book. Someone may perfectly well be happy making pretty things for their own enjoyment, but it won’t by default pay the bills. Basic services such as food, housing, and medical could well be supplied by society, but nobody should expect that entitles them to luxury and extravagances by extension.
Looks like was just updated today pending transfer, so either the owner transferring registrars or someone took it over.
Are you looking to complete a bingo card for billionaire dumbassery?

Domain expired on the 19th, so it’s validly offline. Has always seemed to be a low-adoptiom platform, will have to see the status in the next few days.
Fedi platforms have a key distinction putting them separate from most other online platforms in that you can literally create your own and have all the rights of a platform admin today, and have access to the very same content as you would having an account on another’s node. In that regard there’s much less room to complain about unilateral actions by the instance owner than there would be for other systems. As the size of an instance grows you run a greater risk any time you take such an action, but so long as it’s consistent with past behavior it shouldn’t be a major problem. Large instances like .world have made some cuts that ruffled a few feathers and then backed them off if people objected, but sometimes direct democracy isn’t particularly viable in what might be a time sensitive situation.
