@tante cory is, at his heart, a conservative/liberal USian, putting him far to the right of mainstream European thought and politics.
He constantly refuses to apply his beliefs to underlying structures, arguing that AI or enshittification are aberrations in capitalism, refusing to acknowledge and blocking anyone who argues that it's just capitalism acting as intended.
It doesn't surprise me at all that he's acting hypocritically here.
@cstross isn't Starship becoming less and less useful as they keep 'iterating' it's development?
That giant cargo capacity keeps on dropping.
@Teaceratops Hi,
I'm not really in a position to be of much help, but...
Have you looked into Cargo Cruising? Its where your parents could travel as passengers on Cargo Ships. The Medical situation would possibly complicate matters -- as much as, if not more than, a cruise ship -- but its a feasible method of long distance slow travel.
From memory of a trip a friend took to Hong Kong, the route would be $AUSTRALIA (If they could get to Brisbane, that would make the sea travel shorter) to Singapore, then Singapore-Suez, finally Suez-Southampton or similar commercial port.
It all takes about 4 weeks from Singapore, so its a long term commitment, and the amenities, while perfectly functional, are basic.
@biancotitanio @FediThing Bluesky was always a nazi bar.
Founded by a nazi, funded by nazi graduates of Steve Bannon's School for Nazis, huge ties to the heritage Foundation and various Christian Supremacist groups...
It may not have literally had nazi flags outside (like Shitter) but everyone inside was wearing a totenkopf.
