  Agreed. I’m kind of lucky that my area is full of elderly machinists so garage sales and estate sales are full of tools like that. Even crappy tools that are right there are better than a good tool somewhere else for me.

  I do have a common tools basket too. Some pliers, wrenches, screw drivers, hammer.

  Tons of open source projects organize their unfortunately

  Forgejo supports GitHub actions and of course git.

  The forge metadata though? Like issues and such, are a harder problem to me

  Right cloud migration to sovereignty to me is SaaS --> PaaS/FossApp --> IaaS/FOSSPaaS/FossApp --> HybridCloud(FOSS IaaS onPrem, shared FOSS PaaS in both) --> MultiCloud

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Estonian state trialing IT system free from US tech giants⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I found open standards were easier to push. You can, as an org, force Office to save as OpenDocument formats. Converting records takes some investment too though, but that one REALLY can show why it matters some times too. There are US laws that require documents be in those formats actually, for gov that is.

  That also opens up the fringes/early adoptors to use FOSS apps if they can.

  I said it before, but I’ll say it again. Every bit of liberation makes the next part easier. Even if it’s small.

  Chew gum and walk at the same time.

  Move to FOSS apps. Move away from proprietary SaaS to FOSS SaaS or even IaaS. Move to open standards (qcow vs vmdk, odt vs docx, etc). Move from proprietary OSs to FOSS ones.

  The real limitation is, well budget to invest in administration and software development (which moves costs from OpEx to CapEx), and an “innovation budget” which the most amount of new things an orgs given domain experts can juggle at the same time.

  That said if have the orgs move to SaaS Element, half self host, some stragglers bridge teams, outliers bridge XMPP, etc etc. It doesn’t matter it helps push the ball forward for all of the teams. If some move LibreOffice, some OnlyOffice, some just start forcing their Microsoft Office systems to save to OpenDocument formats, etc etc

  All push the ball, every step liberates them a little more so they can more easily do more!

  To me the difference is always, why do you believe this is true. A lot of the bullshit stuff is 1. It’s possible 2. They don’t like the person it’s about, and that’s it.

  Damn. I though this thread was being hyperbolic but they really wrote it like Intel will, for the first time in their history, making GPUs lmao

  Especially since there are tons of specs that arent direct wifi upgrades in that same convention. I.e. 802.11ah for long range or ap for WiGig 802.11ad or confused with 802.1ax the Ethernet link aggregation standard.

  Imagine trying to explain that in the store to the person that calls the wireless access point “the Internet”.

  Sweet! Element already has some work put into for secure gov use, plus federation is the reality at scale.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what does your "workshop" look like?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not the best to give advice, but I follow the “jet mechanic” philosophy. I make bags and boxes of tools of a give common task (i.e. all the things I use to build computers in a bag, all my quick wood worker stuff in a bag, etc). Then try to keep supplies near the best workspace for a give place (normally based on space, messiness of the hobby, power and vent considerations).

  Again it works somewhat for me, the bags replace ADHD piles and are more useful, but I’m a mess lol

  Something I love too is have an away spot for supplies and a in use spot. So my wood scraps are away on shelves on the wall, and my PC parts are in filing cabinets. I keep an active parts place and basket on my desk, that I try to clean up when I’m done working (either project done or just over it for a while).

  It’s not just that though. Sure it’s a decent rate of return but what is keeping your market cap/share high enough to maintain high investment?

  Making money is secondary to selling stock

  Fair point those workers trying to organize against unfair labor practices would undermine the state. The state was surely handling super well already actually. /s

  Thank you for the reads though i will check those out even if we disagree on this so fat

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure. US takeover of TicTok is really direct example. The current ethnic cleasing operation empowering state protected slavery. Tighter interaction between buisness and goverment where failure to toe the party line is punished through unfavorable legal action and loss of goverment contracts for them or assoiciates. A heavy investment into domostic survellence and again forced cooperation for survellence capitalists.

  On the US side.

  On the PRC side, the expainsion Hong Kong style loan aggreements in order to establish maritime control globally. The attempt to expand territorial rights in the south china sea in order to expand their of control on their neighbors. Exporting survelence and censorship systems and models to keep favoriable dictatorships in power (as well as probally establish backdoors though that is an assumption). The funding of any group that fights their rivals influence as well. Just things imperialist do.

  Didnt know it was temp. Thank you

  One was more despite the evidence of clear worker rights violations that was argued was fine because the state is “the workers”. The second I got called to provide evidence (which sure no probs there) but then silenced lmao. Super frustrating.

  Ive been banned for criticzing the PRC explictly from a socialist perspective.

  Some of the worst things happen in the US are adoptions of PRC style domestic policy and some of the worst in the PRC is the adoption of both British and US style imperealism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been banned from several communities because I addressed the issues with slavery in China in a comment, and because I dared to critize the CCPs antiworker policies (like denying unions that dont align with what the leadership idea of the national interest).

  I can get some evidence in some of the time but then ill be sudenly banned.

  I tend to agree with sentiment. Its more useful idiots type then cynical profesionals feeling.
