i guess. but these are insights for any forum from the last, oh 30, years... if youre not talking federation, or even imaging... it doesnt feel like theres any 'new' information here. just a wall of text from yet-another-forum-operator.
ha, wow. this really highlights how out of whack the conservatives are. the debt is usually the club they use to beat the dems into submission when they do not control the whitehouse. when conservatives have the white house, the debt is never, ever an issue.
I'm just curious as I've permanently dedicated my laptop to torrenting. I've been too nervous to install anything but the VPN and Firefox on it. Now, I'm curious to mess around with Linux some more, which is what I use on it, but I can't fully test out what all I can do with it without signing into accounts....
not exactly. you use an old machine like that and run it headless... throw a bunch of containers on it..
get yourself a gluetun and maybe deluge containers.. youll have a solid vpn connection, and a torrenting client that wont bleed to public. you can run all kinds of compartmentalized services fairly easily.
i wouldnt hate this so much if america produced quality automobiles. but we dont. so watch people pay double for something that will last twice as long.
even at equal pricing, they just push out better quality than we can seem to muster

personally, i am happy to have my taxes pay for undocumented, non-tax-paying humans who need healthcare... mostly because i care about humans regardless of their tax paying status and that i dont think any humans should have to pay directly for healthcare.
'fair'? whatever.
this guys experience is actually a step backward not forward. stop thinking backwards.
discussing the resource management is a strawman. we can already afford to provide healthcare for the planet (including paying all those involved), assuming we prioritize it.
would we need to spend more? yep. we would need to increase medical schooling, medical spending. so?
this is a species-level problem. think bigger than your borders.
how much healthcare would canada be able to provide if they didnt spend a stupid amount on the exact opposite... human killing devices. the same goes for every 1st world country.
i love their reasoning too... because a pregnant child should not only be forced to have the kid, but now be allowed forced to marry someone despite not having the reasoning ability to really do either.
there is just no way to spin this that doesnt show republicans for the ghouls they are.

uhhh what do immigrants have to do with anything i said?
my point is one of the main reasons florida fell to conservatives in 2016 was the tight-knit, ultra-conservative cuban population.... which has nothing to do with immigration.
ive had this argument going for at least a decade. I agree with you, it is not social media. i dont think forums are social media any more than usenet.
its why i calll my instance a 'nonsense aggregator', as your verbiage also alludes to.
that said, im using an mbin server.. and the microblog/twitverse piece does seem to jump into the social media arena. so my server product is now integrated with that category whether i like it or not.
Most create content, and post it publicly for other social circles to see their media. It's social media lol
this isnt even kind of true. most users of these systems post nothing. the content posters are a very small, valuable contingent compared to the lurkers/viewers.
they did this with the t-mobile sidekick... they bought the platform and all data outright... then 'oops! we lost all your end-user, cloud stored data, sorry! we were just too busy to do our jobs!'

its been fun. ive been sailing the seas for.. shit... since inception. remember Myth!? watching all these providers come and go is almost entertaining.
the only real affect ive ever felt was once streaming became a thing, that content became higher quality and hits the water far faster than it used to. so, thanks for that!
ive been running storage devices (nas) since the late 90s... for media server its been MythTV.. then later SageTV (google murdered) then XMBC and now its kodi+jellyfin.
initially it was a lot of ripping physical media... it was awesome when netflix came up with the 'we'll send you 7 disks at a time (and then 5 and then 3), i was returning them within hours of receipt. nowadays i have a seedbox/central torrenting server so the kids can help.
Because I have this avalanche of hate, I really don't want to apologize in the face of that, because I don't want to encourage this behavior for the next guy who says the wrong word," said Edwards.
yes, dont want to start that terrible trend of apologizing for your terrible actions or words.

some people have to be forced into being a part of a social system.
IE, there are people who would rather let others die in the streets than have their taxes raised. some people are just terrible human beings who believe 'i got mine, fuck everyone else' which is antithetical to socialism, and requires a heavy hand via regulation.
conservative states lag in education, healthcare, financial stability... and they choose to make it worse constantly. why would any critically-thinking human want to voluntarily move to one of these redneck hellholes?
