I think the best bet at federated video hosting is with something like IPFS or even bittorrent. If every client is also a host, that would greatly reduce the bandwidth needed for any one server.

No, it’s when people realized it’s a scam

The tech bros had to find an excuse to use all the GPUs they got for crypto after they bled that dry

It’s because when banks make loans, they sell of the debt, but nobody has wanted to buy the debt for Musk’s loans. My understanding of this is essentially, if someone takes out a loan of $100 million, the bank will sell that debt to an investor for $101 million, and the investor will make back $102 million once the loan is paid off due to interest. But no investors are confident enough that Musk will pay back his loan so no one is ponying up the dough to buy it.

I’ll bet every dollar to my name that Ken Paxton will attempt to overturn this

And she’s there to give them a voice. The people who are against Nazis don’t want to be spoken for by a Nazi

I used to find stuff like this fascinating. Like if collecting my data can help me, why not? But technology has gotten to a point that it’s just straight up creepy how our every single waking moment can be tracked and collected, even if it’s me collecting it. It’s like watching every dystopian sci-fi story come to life in real time.

The recent Disney lawsuit reminded me of this. In order to get those deals, McDonald’s makes you use their app, and part of signing up for the app is agreeing to their ToS which has an arbitration clause

They’re already laying the groundwork for claiming the election was stolen

Don’t forget, these are the same people who think trans people’s mere existence is pornography.

That’s literally why people think being trans is something new. Nearly all the research in the world on the topic was lost in the Nazi book burnings

I don’t love a cis man playing a trans woman, but if you want to learn more, the movie The Danish Girl tells the story of the first trans woman to have sex reassignment surgery, which happened there.

Weird sexist fascist hosts weird sexist fascist

I’ve started just booting them from USB. I have Home Assistant running on a pi with an ssd in an external enclosure and it’s been completely issue free.

The raspberry pi is about the worst case scenario for SD cards. It may be idle, but an operating system is still making constant reads and writes, which absolutely eat through an SD card

I had a neighbor come to my door wanting to read some bible verses. I was initially combative because I’m trans and have a pride flag in my window and was ready to be preached to about how I’m a sinner. I’m not religious but we actually had a really nice conversation about exactly this. I told them that I don’t believe in Jesus but do believe in the message of the bible, being a loving and caring person to everybody, and how conservatives have completely twisted the meaning to attack people like me. They read me a couple verses supporting that and how conservatives go against everything the bible says. It really gave me hope and what I was expecting to ruin my day actually made it instead.

“If you really cared about free speech you wouldn’t be using your free speech to call out Nazis”

Northern Lights is a great strain. Man I miss smoking weed

Literally Sha’Carri Richardson was banned from competing in the Tokyo Olympics by the US Anti-Doping Agency because she smoked weed to help cope with the death of her mother. You’re making a big deal arguing that something that really does actually happen doesn’t for some reason.
