You’ve listed a whole gamut of reasons why having the process is essential, so they weren’t wrong ;)

A webui for creating vms is certainly convenient if you’re doing it once a year like me.

Yes. One image won’t kill you. Or just refer an external static image.

Agreed! I’m using cockpit on my home assistant box and I wasn’t even sure this is the same project since I log in with muscle memory.

Discord webhooks aren’t too bad… but the proper bot thing is ridiculous. They really lack a development mode server, having to know everything about oauth and token permissions before even starting is bonkers and why do I even need an app is beyond me. I’d probably have my bot completely implemented in telegram in the same time I figured out what an app is in discord and how to even add a new app to my server.

Nobody wants to sacrifice growth today for stability tomorrow and there are good reasons why this stance makes sense.

That said I’m all for it, too bad the supply chain disruption that this mess will cause will make it twice as hard as it could’ve been.

Funding is as good as gone until the Iran mess is over.

But zoning is required to maintain order. Nobody wants anybody to live in favelas.

As with everything the regulator needs to strike a balance to make the market work.

[btilly → baq]

Given the choice between being homeless and living in favelas, millions in Brazil have chosen to live in favelas.

The reality of zoning laws in Western countries is to provide a target for regulatory capture by the NIMBY crowd. With the result that we're systemically underbuilding housing, then wonder why we wound up with homelessness.

[baq → btilly]

Favelas are a local optimum which systemically is very difficult to get out of and is a sign that the regulator is powerless. It's a great example of a market failure.

LLMs in teacher mode instead of solver mode can be great. ("review this change" is kinda sorta teacher mode.)

Given how the previous conspiracy theories turned out we really needed some unconfirmed ones, thanks.

[robocat → baq]

Google's memetic division (~100k employees) is A/B testing AI generated memes as part of their market manipulation (step 3: profit).

The A/B tests include low-effect control memes: as null-tests or for exposing information flow.

So you should get more unconfirmed theories in your social media.

BTW: which Oracle do you use to confirm your conspiracies?
