master/slave relationship in tech

Wait, this is a thread about branch names in git. The "master" in question would be more akin to a "master recording" from music, not master/slave software or system architecture.

Assuming you want to keep tax revenue the same, we're talking a $27k tax bill for each adult based on 2023's numbers (nothing newer was available).

Ordinary workers get shafted by taxes going up (rough guess, under $200k/year income) A few (TBH I'm not sure how many, really) pay about the same. Really high-income people make out like bandits.

If you think the economy is harsh for "regular joes" right now, oof. You're in for a doozy.

Playing games with the phrasing doesn't change the essence. I stand by my critique of your ghoulishness.

against migration

Hard disagree on that. We should encourage migration for anyone with the grit to go for it.

I was born in a small town in the US. My family moved twice in my childhood, and I moved again for college -- and several times as an adult.

Maybe you don't count that as 'migration', but if not -- what's the dividing line between simply "moving" and "migration"?

I'm not right-wing, but I still don't like hearing things like that. Well, reading things like that in this case. It speaks poorly of a person's character to be happy about strangers' deaths.

My opposition to the right wing is largely based on them being vicious bullies, to put it in schoolyard terms. I don't want to counterbalance them by "learning how to be bigger bullies" on the left. I want a better world.

How much can it cost, Michael?

Your post prompted me to check -- at the "fancy" grocery store in town, I can get a dozen eggs for about $5. Same price at Aldi. Looking at Target, it's about $4.20.

Wait, what? I usually expect Target to be more expensive than other options in the area! Strange times.

I doubt it, but ok

I'm not sure I'd count Frankenstein, tbh. I think it's more horror than sci-fi.

LitRpg

I don't think this is new; The Sleeping Dragon by Joel Rosenberg was published in 1983 where players in a tabletop RPG get whooshed into the game world at the beginning of the book. Fun series.

Black Hawk Tuah is the cause of the crash!

Do you think what is right and what is wrong is universally agreed-upon? I don't think it's as clear-cut as you're trying to make it sound.

 
 

As an example, if I go to the starting guide and click on the top comment, I get the following response:

"This site can’t be reached The webpage at https://lemmy.world/comment/97159 might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE"

Dev tools shows response code: 400 (from service worker) for this request.

I don't see this behavior on every single comment link, but it shows up for a lot of them, seemingly randomly.

I see it across different browsers and normal vs. incognito mode.

Any clues on what's broken?
