If they can’t handle this small surge in volume, they are too small to handle any issues that might come up down the road. Not trusting my web of friends with an app like this. Because I have to onboard OTHERS onto this mickey mouse unreliable operation, that’s why. Downvote me for all you want but THAT is a simple fact that exposes them for what they are. Amateurs not ready for it.

Sign up is QUICK? It’s been more than a hour. I’ve tried through the app, through the web, it hasn’t sent me back NOTHING for verification. Still not signed up. What’s quick for you? 10 hours to sign up?

I just went through an EXASPERATING experience installing and signing up for Stoat. It DOES NOT WORK. Don’t recommend it.

I just tried to sign up for it. Installed app and signed up, it wouldn’t go through. So I go to web interface and create an account there. I’ve waited ONE HOUR for email verification, and NOTHING. Asked to resend verification, they made me click through 5 captivas, and still NOTHING. Moving on from stoat.

It benefits China strategically and economically. Long term military wise, if Russia remains an active land mass threat to Europe, much of Europe and US will build a military for armed land conflict in Europe while leaving their strategic initiatives in the Pacific and Indian ocean underinvested leaving China to grow its power there. In the same way China is using Pakistan and the occasional skirmish in the useless high altitude Himalayas to keep India’s military focused on building a land-based military while leaving Indian ocean and its naval fleets underinvested.

This is a story worth watching. She has a pending jail sentence which the establishment can use against her anytime they wish.

This is the evil axis.

The military regime in Myanmar is attempting to legitimize their coup and rule through a sham election process where all the opposition parties had been outlawed and political leaders had been put in jail or killed. It is important that the world condemn their actions and not recognize the regime and its leadership as legitimate rulers of Myanmar.

Communists have been driving homogenization of China under Han Chinese culture since they took over. It is pervasive through out society not just in politics and governing but also in academia. This is what they are doing to Mongolians who still have their own independent sovereign country. Imagine what they’ve done and are doing to Tibetans, and others under their rule.

THIS is wrong on OMG so many levels!!! This violates a zillion international laws! Fucking Trump is ushering in the most dangerous world since the start of 20th century.

Man the whole world needs to stand up to Trump and US.

This is what Putin wants. Putin’s puppet is doing exactly what it’s master commands. A world where great powers disregard everyone’s sovereignty.

This is a disgusting lawless action by a convicted felon who deserves to face trial for war crimes.

Musk is spending BILLIONS for this? LMAO.

Corruption is ingrained in former Soviets.

In this day and age of GPS, there’s no excuse for them to be in another FREAKIN COUNTRY. Just complete morons.

It’ll just be used for browsing office work so sounds like it’ll be fine.

It’s thinkpad T420. Is it powerful enough for Cinnamon?

What’s the easiest and most secure linux distro for a non-techie? This is for a spare thinkpad I want to try linux on.

AOC is right, if AI bubble burst, companies shouldn’t be bailed out. I want to remind people that not ALL bubble bursts have resulted in bail outs. When the dot-com burst, there were no bailouts. There was a short recession of 8 months, and the rest of the world continued on in its aftermath. When the commodities bubble burst, in the 2000s there was no bail out. When the housing bubble burst, there was bailout because banks had lent too much money into the housing bubble. If banks fail, there would be bank runs, and that contagion would have spread everywhere and the entire financial system would have collapsed. Currently, there are no bank debts nor bonds being issued to spend billions on AI data centers. The danger will be when leverage is used to fund these trillion-dollar outlays. Currently there is very little debt tied to AI bubble. Most of the AI spending is coming from the humongous tech companies with loads of cash on hand and with fat profit margins who are plowing it all into AI data centers. When it does go bust, their valuations will deflate but the business will still remain. Watch for use of leverage or debt in AI. Once it enters the equation, that’s where the systemic risk will begin to tick up.
