FWIW I have a friend that made pretty decent money doing IT work up on the Alaskan oil fields. Paid well, but it was months of living in the middle of nowhere. Might not be as bad these days. I could see them having satellite internet and stuff. Also, this assumes you have IT skills and can deal with being nowhere for months.

Who the fuck knows? I don't really give a shit, personally...

(Did you see them?)

People tend to really suck at limiting themselves. If you're wandering around in gemini space you're not going to run into pages with lots of ad banners, trackers and other monetization BS. You pretty much can't. On the web, you can run into simple fast pages but it's getting less and less the norm. And the lack of easy ways to monetize means it's unattractive to corporations, which helps avoid creeping enshittification.

Gemini is light, simple, and easy to parse. It's just lightly marked up text. Compare the size of Lagrange with the size of Chrome or Firefox. And nobody is forcing you to use it. 🙂

I like it. Everyone these days seems to want web pages that are 5MB of dynamically generated junk.

My little website is just static hugo-generated stuff.

Annnnd that ended any curiosity at all I may have had for it...

The government really needs to stop negotiating with terrorists... Giving in just tells them they have an effective strategy.

Linux is bloat. You should be entering your own minimal kernel in microcode via front panel switches at boot instead of being so wasteful. What do you think all that RAM and drive space is for? Holding data??

(Seriously, the modern minimalist thing is hilarious to me and I've been using computers since 16K of RAM was impressive...)

Ah, very nice. I didn't even know it supported GPU info...I always just grabbed the musl file.

Lemmy clients need a feature to automatically hide poosts by accounts less than X days old...

If you have to advertise your company via spam, it's prrobably garbage.

Building in minetest or wandering around fishing and stuff in FC5. Pretty area, shame about all the cultists.
