Unfortunately, my current home in the Fediverse is shutting down this month and I must relocate.
Before moving, I want to leave a big thank you to @mo, who was admin here during this time 🎖️
I'll be seeing you all at @pablobm@metalhead.club! 🤘
Tesla makes EVs, yes. And electrification is useful. But why electrify cars instead of creating more public transit?
Ah, the question answers itself. Possession of a car, especially one that costs a lot of money because it’s full of autonomous tech and high-tech batteries, differentiates the owner from the lower classes.
Ditto for “Going to Mars.” Who goes to Mars? Who gets their own replicant in the off-world colonies? Everyone genuflecting to him thinks they’ll be one of the chosen few.

Esta iniciativa invita a la Comisión Europea a establecer un impuesto europeo sobre las grandes fortunas. Este impuesto contribuiría a los recursos propios de la Unión y los ingresos permitirían ampliar y perpetuar las políticas europeas de transición medioambiental, social y de cooperación al desarrollo, en cofinanciación con los Estados miembros. Esta contribución se destinaría a combatir el cambio climático y las desigualdades, y permitiría una participación más equitativa de los ciudadanos europeos en la consecución de estos objetivos.
Having an idea of how much downtime costs the business allows everyone to operationalize and make correct low-level decisions.
Downtime costs you $1000/minute.
You want to make your main SQL database high-availability. This costs $30k/year.
You think doing so will remove 1 hour of downtime per year.
Should you do it?

Peter Hendy is unfit to be Minister for Rail if he's more interested in bullying @GarethDennis out of a job for the sake of appearances than in passenger safety. I have written to my (Labour) MP saying as much.
If you could all share this message to make sure as many people as possible get the message that we must not call them “The Farage Riots” #TheFarageRiots
