That sounds like that infrastructure was cost-cut shit outsourced to private profiteers.
The reason Texas's electricity collapsed is due to that exact reason. Their power grid is separate from the rest of the country.
Thanks! That just about answers it! And yeah I love unix_surrealism as well. Can't seem to access com on the sdf though, "% buss era." seems to be the way unfortunately.
EDIT: Got approved now can use COM easily!
Yes, the problem is capitalism ultimately. But you can't change that. At least I've not seen anyone even try, if anything - we are going the other way. But you can just not participate in it.
I'm having the same issue. Also not validated yet but I only just did the paypal dono.
EDIT: IRC which is meant to redirect to commode for unvalidated users like me shows "% bus error." Maybe the host is low on memory?
EDIT: Got approved. Thanks SDF folks! Now can use COM just fine.
Suit yourself man, I don't judge. Personally I don't need UberEats and a Smart TV to interact with other people be they colleagues from work or friends. No idea what kind of folks you know but my gf and I and our friend circle usually just hang out IRL.
Well sucks for them there's more left for me 😋
Winter lovers are never satisfied with how cold it is honestly, at least a few days of warm weather are nice on this sad sad cold continent.
