Ages ago someone wrote a bash script that would calculate your “stallman score”, essentially checking the license of every package in your system.

He knows Trump will win, it’s a safe bet to win some favor.

I don’t disagree with any of this, but in this particular instance i do think it’s simply a reflection of reality. Biden’s whole strategy is win over dummy undecideds who can’t tell him and Trump apart, rather than excite his base for a good turnout.

Fact is that strategy requires charisma, not brains. Biden’s running a strategy on his weakness. It’s doomed, which is impressive since Trump is so widely hated. Literally any other dem in there party is a better choice, save Jimmy Carter…

I hope this works out. Local news media outside of huge cities is 3 nextdoor posts in a trenchcoat.

Uncritical copaganda from NYT again. These changes are…fine, but don’t get at the inherent risks of police surveillance and biometrics.

With the state of AI and computer vision, and legal requirements to disclose ads, i wonder if a ytdl + editing script will he the nicest way to watch at some point

The US has truly been grifted by the “defense” industry for decades now. A lot of snake oil with no testing in real battle conditions

We really need to tax energy used by GPU-burning projects differently. AI training, blockchain, whatever. Such a wasteful endeavour.

Historical reason for the US supporting the creation of Israel ^^

Also KDE here, but largely without modifications from defaults. I turn off a few things, but more or less it’s exactly what i expect from a DE without taking up too many resources. I really buy in to the K-suite apps for almost everything too, so it all works together nicely.

This begs some reflection. what is a"job", functionally? What would be needed for losing it to be good?

I suspect a system with jobs would not eradicate jobs, just change them.

Self hosting means having an application run on your own server. The easiest introduction is probably using raspberrypi to run something like Jellyfin

Anecdotes so few and far between, meanwhile the anti-zionist movement is absolutely flooded with jewish voices. A narrative to dismiss protests, designed to resists hard evidence…like the article you are ignoring here.

People pretending east Jerusalem does not exist now? Illegal settlements are still illegal …

Honestly either flag makes sense given the divide. Which state is Kansas city in?

First, don’t conflate Israel with Jews. It is a government not a religious authority, and using Judaism as a veil is deeply antisemitic.

Second, this is an infantile understanding of colonization. Shall we give Crimea back yo to the Greeks? They inhabited it 3,000 years ago. Clearly not, and if Greece invaded and exploited the land and the people we’d call them colonists.

This blood and soil logic is exactly what european nationalists use to expell Jews. Comically such advocates of this logic also rarely support returning land to indigenous peoples in the US…

Getting higher every day. Majority children.

love that i switched to graphene. I was hesitant because ages ago i bricked a phone with a random ROM, but boy have things changed.

installing was seriously easy, like in a pinch my elderly parents could probably do it. the result worries better than stock Android imo

Really strongly recommend checking it out if you have a supported devices.

i really sympathize with folks who go down an iot rabbit hole only to find it’s a huge disaster.

Most iot use cases are incredibly simple, like turning on a light in the morning. implement should take a handful of minutes.

but the more complicated the technical debt, i imagine the less satisfying the whole experience is. it’s a fun whimsical hobby that quickly becomes a farce.

[obligatory suggestion to use Linux]

but yeah iot had become not optional in some spaces. tvs and cars are the big ones i can’t stand
