So instead everyone got genocide x2, shortly maybe will be x3 of oil companies pull a Venezuelan banana republic: electric boogaloo, and a significantly worse economy with not only no reforms, but significant change in the opposite direction, siphoning orders of magnitude more money away from the working class than the status quo.

Plus you get the dissolution of unions and stripping workers of any power they have.

Plus you get out-in-the-open media centralization to become out and out propaganda machines bought and paid for by corruption and dissolution of the last remnents of independent media.

Plus you get kidnapping citizens in the streets by faceless, nameless, badgeless enforcers.

Plus you get government-sponsored lynchings

Plus you get, nationwide, women getting sick, hurt, and dying because doctors aren’t allowed to treat them anymore

Plus you get multiple very corrupt white collar criminals set completely free with no consequences

Plus you get the near-total neutering of all health and disease research and public health policies

Plus you get the complete decimation of US aid to countries in need that was not through on an imperialist military

Plus you get people dying of hunger and homeless people and immigrants being arrested and used for slave labor.

Plus you get people who aren’t fascists labelled as terrorist groups, arrested, and threatened

Plus you get persecution of transgender people

Plus you get pedophile government oligarchs literally out in the open human trafficking instead of behind closed doors.

Great trade off there. You guys really sent the correct message and voted to make the world a better place.

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.

They don’t even prosecute foreign war criminals, much less their own. US Nuremberg trails had a <0.2% conviction rate for identified war criminals lol. Less than 1% of “major war criminals”.

Criminal cops are paid instead of convicted.

There is 0 hope for any justice at all for these people unless the entire US government gets overthrown or something just as drastic.

In my experience the answer is also that there is not much difference. Just get the cheap ones and fill them with hot water first (also to pre-heat the ceramic)

Those type of restricted-flow ceramic filters (I have one too that I use once in a while) are essentially infusion brewers as much as percolation, so you can grind coarser.

You will have much more taste variation from not preheating the brewer beforehand because ceramic is a giant heat sink.

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.

That is a different type of AI/machine learning.

They aren’t using Large Language Models for that.

Drug research, mRNA research acceleration, etc… Are using specialized neural nets trained in highly controlled environments with highly controlled data.

All types of neural networks are pattern recognition. Medicine and biology has a somewhat** unique in being heavily pattern dependent and finding unique patterns in a known dataset large part of discovery. This contracts with other scientific areas where it will use inspirations from datasets, but the invention is much more abstract. That makes neural nets perfect for assisting those types of research.

LLMs are trained on language pattern recognition. The simplistic view is “with the past X words entered, the probability of Y being the next sentence is the highest”. Where it actually has no idea what it is talking about. That is why the first LLMs were so horrible and bullshit (but at least in the early days they still were allowed to say “I don’t know”). Things have evolved rapidly and they are trained slightly differently and given MUCH more context around the sentences, but the core models of LLMs are the same and there are many many tests out there that show that the models can’t actually reason and don’t understand what they are saying outside of the very narrow context they are given which is why there are more useful as simple transcribing tools, or search (though they just lie if they can’t find the answer anyway). That is also why they are very good at copying peoples’ voice patterns in order to scam people.

They are also literally starving entire populations of water just so people can draw a bad sketch of a car and tell chatGPT “make this into a 3D drawing with a cat on top”

In heroic, you can add the game and while adding it, click “run installer first” and then install the EXE and copy whatever cracks needed. I needed to do that with a few games that are literally not available anymore on stores.

Lutris had been so janky for me the past 10 years and many of the installer scripts literally don’t install any dependencies anyways that I switched to heroic last year and I no longer have games that work completely fine and then next launch they don’t work.

Yeah there is a world of difference between the microusb gen 1 and the newer AV1 enabled ones.

The old ones literally didn’t have their own OS IIRC, you could only cast to them which caused a ton of issues.

The newer ones literally run android TV

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.

Most “privacy guides” like that literally just shift trust from one party to another.

Banks are starting to have temporary credit card numbers themselves for a purchase. It depends if you want “privacy” or “anonymity” as it seems like the person in the video wants the second.

Nowadays there are precious few actually private or anonymous email providers themselves. Maybe Posteo or Tuta? But I don’t know their audit history with leaking metadata or handing over logs and information when asked.

Honestly I have accepted that if I have to buy online, there is always a paper trail. Buy in-store in cash when possible, use second hand websites in your area. It is better for the environment too. Anything digital will have a paper trail that can always be de-anonymized with enough effort.

All my electronics hobby stuff I have to buy online and I just do this with my normal credit card, especially since they have export controls in many distributors and if you get caught using fake credentials they will likely blanket blacklist you as someone trying to bypass export controls and use medical/consumer sensors and devices for weapons, against the companies’ restrictions.

Honestly as much as I hate google, Chromecast has been a pretty flawless jellyfin experience.

4k AV1 support (though I only have a 720p TV, so I got the full HD version), and the jellyfin client is one of the best and most updated.

In the 5 year future I want to be able to have a cheap N100 box (pis are too expensive and under powered in video, maybe the new RISCV SBUs will beef up decoding and be perfect for that a few revisions later) and then throw Plasma Bigscreen on it when it matures and have a fully FOSS streamer, but that won’t work well now.

Wasn’t the last time a Canadian company discovered an “inexhaustable supply” of some mineral it was a gold scam that was one of the biggest mining industry scams in history that scammed people out of their pensions?

Please, I would like to see chain-of-custody third party samples before jumping to conclusions.

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.

It’s funny because

1. Israel has been funding Hamas (Bibi himself has spoken multiple times about it) for many years, giving them the equipment to do October 7th.

2. Israel activated the hannibal directive according to their own (now former) defense minister on a live TV interview which means that on October 7th, many many many of the civilians and IDF soldiers that died were deliberately killed by the IDF themselves.

3. It takes 45 minutes to fly from end to end by helicopter. Many Israeli official has refused to deny that there was a stand down order, but the army was not deployed at all until hours and hour and hours later, when they could have driven with tanks there and back again multiple times, with an army of 165,000 in a country the size of new jersey, outnumbering them 28:1 with 100x the equipment on home turf (by Israels massively inflated numbers too)

4. Some of the Israeli hostages were not tortured in prison with Hama’s by their own tongues, but were then raped when she got back to Israel. Meanwhile Palestinian hostages are tortured daily for decades, eyes gouged out, as well as gang raped and raped by trained rottweilers by Israeli forces, and civilian Israeli doctors don’t report on it, but instead enable it.

As far as anyone should be concerned. Israel funded, executed their own attack of their own civilians, and enabled it by standing down as well as treated their own civilian hostages they took (and continue taking) 10x worse.

At this point it is a bit more than signals. It is very blatant.

Why would “license plate” cameras be pointed at childrens’ playgrounds https://san.com/cc/flock-camera-captured-kids-on-a-playground-a-security-failure-exposed-them-online/

Doesn’t PieLauncher already do this?

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.

Yep, me too, but my Sony xperia 5ii has a few issues like no fingerprint reader and a battery that only lasts 3/4 of a day with light use, plus no updates for the past 3 years…

Might have to go fairphone soon

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