Even if they do this, I wouldn’t be averse to a less on demand version of youtube. 3rd party apps will let you load a number of videos for later viewing. Would probably help me consume media more responsibly and youtube has to deal with the additional resources needed to serve all the videos I didn’t wind up watching after all.

Of course. If it was our Georgia she would’ve been shot to death.

I can show this meme to my non-trekkie friends and they won’t begin to understand how fucking hilarious it is.

Fuck the premise of “full employment.” As if having an income that supports you is some binary fact of job or no job. What about shitty job with an exploitative organization the federal government has permitted to become an oligopoly?

Previous high for Las Vegas was on July 26 1931. This record likely won’t last a month.

It’s better for the politicians wallets.

Seriously fucking sick of hearing stats about numbers of jobs that completely disregard their quality.

Made me check for my home state of Utah. But looks like they require a “substantial portion” or 1/3 of content on a site to be porn. source Looks like we all need to get busy posting tits to twitter for the good of the children.

Just to clarify: what are some of your specific complaints with bad information? I ask because I’ve been trying to fill in business hours and other info you might find on g maps for my city, and it’s definitely challenging. My new pet peeve is just how many businesses don’t bother listing their hours anywhere but proprietary services. No hours on their website and not even on their front doors.

Anyone noticed a pricing difference with “local” grocers? Obviously there aren’t many left and at least in my area they rely on a regional distributor that’s pretty consolidated. Just curious if they’ve been treating consumers any better.

Got the text about the increase and it’s definitely nail in the coffin for me. I’ve confirmed that I don’t need much data even with forgetting to reconnect to wifi.

Strangely found myself tempted towards Helium Mobile since it’s 20 bucks for “unlimited” with 30GB of high speed. But of course it’s a crypto product… I’d been planning to wait til they release a feature to supposedly cryptographically protect against SIM swap attacks here. Assuming it checks out for security I’d consider it a decent extra benefit. Thoughts?

edit: forgot to mention they’re a tmobile mvno. so not exactly completely getting away from them.

I do not fear becoming homeless. The state should fear my homelessness as it will only signify the next phase of my radicalization.

Electric cars + carsharing. The notion that we can completely dismantle or replace car-centric infrastructure in the timescales necessary to address climate change is wishful thinking, but of course so is the idea that we can just electrify everything we currently do and it’ll all work out. Some of the pushback to EV production has merit and we simply cannot replace every ICE car on the road in the US with an EV. We need fewer cars and we need them to be used more effectively and sensibly. I love off roading, I totally understand wanting to be able to drive a lifted 4x4 when it’s appropriate. The trick is not having to drive a 20mpg vehicle on your commute everyday, or to the grocery store. Living car-less in the US needs to become more practical and that means we need to serve all of a persons needs. Public transit, bikes, and walking can serve us well enough in our daily lives. But leisure, hobbies, and other edge cases also need to be supported through things like affordable carsharing services or rentals. If someone needs to own a car to occasionally go hiking in the mountains then that car needs to be built, maintained, and will likely be a convenience crutch as opposed to if there were a viable low cost (and preferably electrified) rental for destinations that transit and other methods cannot reach.

On top of the surge pricing the bastards have been spamming me with emails. Damned if I can remember when I used my email with them, but their opt out mechanism has me pissed. Have to type in my email after hitting the link, then clearly remain on the list. Sure, FTC rules say you get 30 days or something before I need to stop receiving emails, but virtually every other marketer seems to take me off immediately.

Leg over the armwrest for me. Why is it so comfy sometimes?

Forget the technical details. I work in a corporate security department and if yours finds out what you’re doing there’s high odds they would absolutely hate it. I mean it likely isn’t an issue for org security (assuming they’re using bitlocker appropriately etc.) But not everyone over security is so rational and there are edge case attacks which may even trouble more sensible individuals. Either get permission, expect to do this in secret, or better yet just don’t.

Personally I see appeal in virtual worlds and a bit of the asthetic. But putting screens on everything isn’t sustainable at all. I guess cyberpunk is a sufficiently abstract concept for everyone to have their own qualifiers for what counts.

Seems like a good opportunity to ask if anyone can recommend learning materials for FreeCAD? Used Solidworks and AutoCAD in school but fell back on tinkercad for a recent project just cause I didn’t have time to invest in learning.

Cause prohibition will totally stop AI girlfriend weebs

Deplatformed from which platform? When your fanatics are deranged enough to follow you anywhere… They’ll be chomping at the bit to hear what he said in his most recent call from prison.
