There is very little personal to talk about that gets organically brought up in the workplace, I’ve found. Maybe they are trying to include you more or latching on to something that is genuinely interesting instead of the boring normal shit like talking about the weather, sports, or more work.

Republicans have literally fought tooth and nail to be able to refuse service to anyone (in their case, LGBTQ people, disabled people, and black people) which absolutely can and should be used to the fullest extent against them.

This is also why all the fucking electronics companies in the EU only going through american distributers and having their own damn webshops from and EU company ship from the US is going to cripple one of or most important industries when shit hits the fan. Looking at you STM, Nordic, and uBlox!

We have 3 large distributers in Europe: UK, Poland, and international (UK and Belgium) and yet only a tiny tiny subset of older parts are sold from there while the american distributors are packed full.

I mean, immich is still awesome and as far as anyone can tell, nothing has changed.

Giving money to immich isn’t giving money to FUTO as far as anyone can tell.

The immich developer also probably didn’t have the resources to do a deep dive into FUTO before being sponsored, so they likely didn’t know.

I also use immich and I will continue to do so, but it is just something to keep in mind.

Except the 51% owner of the block chain can overwrite the ledger and billionaires and hostile governments have all of the computers to do it. This has already happened multiple times with smaller coins IIRC.

Block chain is essentially just the techbro version of capitalism (not an alternative, a recreation). If there are distributed companies and enough competition, the system works pretty well, but when everything centralizes as has inevitably happened everywhere, the rules all get thrown away.

I got told off a while ago when immich got funding when I said that FUTO seems quite fishy and I didn’t believe that there were no strings attached with immich. Everyone said “oh they are just a great open source grant org” when I questioned where their money came from.

I feel a bit vindicated they they are just another tech bro’s philanthropic project with a habit of supporting and platforming fascists.

I am interested in learning which american peaceful protests have been successful that were not backed by force in the past 10 years?

Actually what american protests at all have been successful in the past 10 years at actually accomplishing their goals and not settling for 1% of their goals as a “compromise” for the theater?

Maybe we can extend it to 30 years or 40 years just for fun?

It is worth it to note that SMS should not be used for any personal communication. Literally every message you send is stored by the carrier and handed over to anyone that pays them including LEOs, who in the past have used them to incriminate innocent people, and if you live in america, they will use them to justify shooting you apparently…

Not to mention anyone in the area can intercept all messages with some cheap equipment.

Dumb phones are such a draw compared to stupid smart phones, but they don’t have any secure messaging (at least the ones I have looked at)

That is what they did here.

They blocked all first responders from bringing her to the hospital and possibly saving her life because a dead person can’t sue you.

I downloaded both of them from YouTube and reddit before they get taken down like on bluesky.

Anyone know where I can reliably post them that they will stay up?

On the bright side, this change has been around for 9 months at least because they had already changed it when I was doing IT stuff at my last job and it was impossible to find where to actually download the office suite.

Or Hikvision for very similar cameras at an actually affordable price (but you HAVE to block then from the internet and/or put them on an isolated VLAN because they send everything back home).

Reolink also makes gold budget cameras, especially their doorbell camera.

For some things.

For many things it isn’t. It is usable (I use it) but with a bunch of workarounds for anything embedded development-related since it needs specific vendor software with device access. I have had to use a variety of distrobox + app image solutions that are often a bit worse than a system that installs them as native apps.

Since 1981 the large decline began. Like 80% of bad policies and shitting on the working class in america can be traced back to the 80s… I wonder what happened then.

Kamala would just have been a party line corporate puppet like Obama 2.0. But undoubtedly 100x better than trump.

And by “tending to last longer” it is good to note that it almost always lasts 5x-10x longer, as in you only need to charge it once a month instead of every few days with medium reading, depending on backlight usage.

When I only read a few pages a day because of my schedule, my battery lasts over 6 months easily. Meanwhile my unused iPad has to be charged every week or so even if it is used 0 minutes.

Also in the Nuremberg US versions of the trails:

Less than a fraction of one percent of identified war criminals got prosecuted. 99.8%+ got off scott-free.

(>100,000 war criminals arrested, 2500 were identified as “major war criminals” and the rest let free, of whom 177 were tried, the rest of the major war criminals getting off with 0 consequences and many getting jobs in the US, of those, 142 were convicted)

0.142% of war criminals had any consequences at all. Many of those were just for publicity.

I am a bit ignorant about fedora security, but doesn’t pretty much everyone run Pipewire now and not pulseaudio?

But that is the best part of user software development.

Developing [a game] is pretty much free, so if you make any money out of it at all is just a bonus.

Most physical hobbies cost money where if you make some money from it it likely won’t even start breaking even, you are often 1-10k€ in the hole before you even start selling anything.

They updated the Lens app (pretty much the best scanning app available) UI and haven’t enshittified it! I call that a win! I wish I could now pin it to a specific version on the play store.

Microsoft does this is other products too.

For example, python runs inside of Excel now so you can finally make good figures with matplotlib.

But they intentionally slow code compilation so it takes around 5x as long as as spyder for the same code.

Then, your code will time out after a couple seconds of execution and you “have to buy compute tokens” in order to be able to compute it further with your own machine.
