They’re asserting €120M for X is equivalent to 1¢ for us plebes. An ignorable cost of doing business.

2036 Could Be The Year of Linux!

There’s no appetite for these laws in the voter public of any state, as far as I can tell given how VPN usage skyrockets in every state where these laws are put in place. Is California no longer liberal? Also consider the people running sites in any of the states that have such a law. They may resort to just blanket ID-checking everyone rather than risk prosecution.

well you better not get it in his eye, that’s for sure!

I’ve yet to see any state legislature take that proposal seriously

snekerpimp meant if every state requires ID, then VPN to another state will not get around the ID check.

Are these the same people that voted for Trump in 2016 because Hillary said she was going to fund training and retooling for them to move into renewable energy and ended the speech by saying she was going to put coal mines out of business?

Well that’s a whole other Democratic failure, for sure. But it was about 10 days from Trump publicly calling for ending the filibuster to get the spending bill passed and they didn’t do it. It’s just as useful to them as a minority party as it is to the Democratic party.

You may not have noticed, but the Republicans who are presently in charge also didn’t get rid of the filibuster to end the shutdown like Trump asked them to. However, both parties made changes to the filibuster for judicial appointments in last 15 years (Democratic majority in 2013 and Republican majority in 2018).

More non-tech people need to watch Silicon Valley and understand how close to reality it is.

Were NFTs ever not a grift?

It does. A US Senator is a representative of the entire state with influence over federal law and federal executive branch appointees with influence on the national military. A state Senator has none of that influence. Would you consider a regional office manger’s opinion to carry the same weight as that of a board member?

Genuine question here, did Chair Ken Martin or Rep. Jamie Rankin fight against Mamdani?

I haven’t settled on anything yet. I basically just want something off-the-shelf which I can run containers on and has good version of Synology Drive. But I just migrated from Windows to Linux, and am finding this to be a sticking point. Synology Drive is available on Linux without on-demand sync. QNap supports QSync on Linux but only for Ubuntu, and it seems like manually unpacking the dev file and installing doesn’t work with latest versions. Running NextCloud on QNap might be an option.

Hell I remember when USB on PCs was basically a set of pins on the motherboard and you had to buy the actual port assembly separately and hope there was somewhere reasonable on your case to mount it. Was going absolutely nowhere on PC until the iMac came and did away with all other ports and no peripherals built in.

that was the final straw for me to switch NAS vendors when I next upgrade.

That’s about a $600,000 savings for that quarter, for a company that reported $13.9 billion in revenue for Q3 2025.

The trans people they never knew they met.

Well you certainly beheaded the spelling of it. 😋
