Government debt isn't inherently bad.

For example, Infrastructure projects typically pay back several times in value, so it's often sensible to fund these using debt. China has built shitloads of infrastructure over the past couple of decades

Government debt is bad if it's not funding infrastructure and is instead being used to pay for things like tax breaks on the wealthy and vanity projects

Consent-o-matic is good too

I prefer to make things explicit if it can

And do you think everything I didn't attach a percentage to is zero?

Do you think antivaxxers are the largest demographic in the ones I listed? I don't think they're even in the top three.

That's just a (concerningly large) percentage of the nutjobs

There are other kinds too that focus their rage at other marginalised groups

Then you get the conspiracy groups, of anti vaccination people (we have official stats showing there were a couple of percent of hard-line nevers during COVID), the ones that burn down radio masts because of bill gates 5g microchips, those lizard-people guys etc.

Perhaps irredeemable is harsh on a few of these, but most don't get to that point because something or someone pulls them out. For whatever reason it doesn't happen to a percentage of people.

It all adds up to a group of people who provide a lot of noise at the bottom end of polling.

Did I jinx this? I literally set up vaultwarden the other week to start migrating from keepass

Think I'll put a pin in that plan for a while

Ah there goes my idea, I thought it was gonna be down to Microsoft's inability to not fuck sleep up every couple of years

Memory is probably the next port of call if you don't see anything in event viewer to indicate a driver issue.

Another commenter suggested memtest which is a good shout, might be also worth putting a Linux distro onto a flash drive or partition and try running that for a couple of days to see if it does it under Linux, that will at least help inform you as to whether it's hardware or software

20% is a pretty charitable estimate if you've been paying attention to the news for the past decade

I don't think a poor relationship between an employer and employee is a good reason to try and scam random kids

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 18 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

I think this depends when you were 8

A kid going online in the mid 90s was a very different thing to going online in the mid 10s

Not saying there weren't problems, but it's pretty night and day

Oh I completely forgot about that subreddit

Well that's a pretty elite list

I was lucky enough to see Ichiko Aoba in Tokyo a couple of years ago

Why don't they install a public CCTV camera in his toilet if he doesn't think privacy is important

Not upgraded yet, but probably will given the use I get out of v2

Anyone sprung for it yet? What're the initial impressions

 

To our friends, artists, partners, collaborators, and community:

After three months of hard work, and three months of extraordinary loyalty from you, I am pleased to share that a definitive agreement has now been signed for Native Instruments to be acquired by inMusic.

Two iconic music technology companies, with decades of shared respect for this industry and the people who make music in it, are coming together to build something greater than either could alone. Our NKS hardware and MPC Editions collaboration last year was the beginning of this story. Today, we look ahead to a common future.

inMusic has spent three decades building and growing the brands that creators rely on every day — Akai Professional, Moog Music, Denon DJ, Numark, Rane, M-Audio and more. They understand what it means to build tools that musicians love. And they understand what Native Instruments means to our customers and community.

I hope other software and hardware manufacturers are quick to get on board with Link Audio, being able to avoid a physical mixer for some of my ad-hoc jams is going to be a game changer

 

As the festival draws to a close, and I've been sadly watching from home this year—what's everyone's highlights?

I might just be still in shock, but holy shit The Prodigy just absolutely demolished it.

Biffy, Franz and Scissor Sisters being the other most memorable shows I've seen so far. I've enjoyed a lot of what's been on West Holts as per usual.

A little disappointed in Neil Young's set, he felt a bit lacking in energy to me, but maybe I set my expectations a bit high. I think Pulp put on a great show, but I'm not sure it deserves the lauding it seemingly got in this morning's press.

 

I finished work a bit early today, went for a walk, met a friend at a newly opened pub, watched the football with a few pints and just got back home.

Another fun Friday to put into the box of fun Fridays

What's going on in your corner of the world?

 

It is known across Liverpool as the Radio City tower but that moniker may not be around much longer as the structure hosts its final live broadcast on Christmas Eve.

Microphone cables are being bundled up and heaving contacts books packed into boxes, leaving empty what is arguably the most famous building of the city’s skyline – St Johns Beacon, to use its proper name.

Built in 1969, originally as a luxury revolving restaurant that was one visited by Queen Elizabeth II, the tower was listed Grade II in 2020, with Historic England describing it as “embodying the technological bravura and spirit of the space age”.

 

What would you add/change for next time

I know I could do with a sweeter red vermouth

 

Uefa has warned ministers that England could be excluded from the European Championship it is co-hosting in 2028 over "concerns" that a planned independent football regulator could lead to "government interference" in the sport.

A bill to establish a body to oversee the top five tiers of the men's game in England was reintroduced in July.

The UK government has said the football watchdog will "protect clubs" by "ensuring their financial sustainability".

But in a letter sent to Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy and seen by BBC Sport, Uefa general secretary Theodore Theodoridis wrote: "We do have concerns remaining... as normally football regulation should be managed by the national federation.
