Our economy increasingly is consumed to serve the rich. They are eating the world. Grocery stores increasingly cater to the wealthy. So do the automakers. Billionaires are buying up whole city blocks for themselves. And now we won’t be able to buy electronics because they’ve taken the resources for their speculative investments, and if they crash the economy our tax dollars will be appropriated to bail them out. It’s almost like we’re barreling towards a violent confrontation between the classes…


The secret is that being evil makes life pretty easy, compared to actually trying to contribute to the world. Being a ruthless and shameless thief, plus a lot of luck, has allowed him to gather absurd quantities of wealth. There’s no talent needed in this screwed up system


IIRC there is a whole industry that builds them custom, often out of fiberglass


Palo Alto has finally started to crack down on this nonsense. It’s been a wealthy area for decades, but the behavior of these ultra rich freaks is hard for anyone to tolerate.
There are a ton of kinds of panettone though…
Taste is subjective! I believe it’s important to let people not like things, so more power to you, and more panettone for me


Unlike Coca-cola, these traffickers reuse their containers
Bari Weiss is the new editor in chief of CBS News, hired by its new Trumpist oligarch owners the Ellisons, and just spiked a 60 Minutes story reporting on some of Trump’s crimes in El Salvador


I wonder if normally, such a light outage would trigger a remote operator to intervene and drive the car through the intersection, but the sheer number of disrupted lights, combined with the spotty connection due to parts of cell network going down caused the remote operator system to not be able to keep up across the city.


I would recommend playing a mediocre game you don’t intend to replay. If you’re anything like me, I associate movies and games with the feeling of sickness I felt watching it. So Shadow of the Colossus, for some reason, is strongly associated with the feeling I had being home sick playing it as a teenager. I still replay it but have that kind of aftertaste of the memory lol. I similarly associate the movie Dark City with having chicken pox!


One day, literally every Gsuite product immediately and incessantly started nagging us to use Gemini. Fortunately our tech staff quickly switched it all off. We have slowly been re-enabling features that are useful like meeting transcriptions. I just wish these corporations could have more restraint. In previous waves of improvement in tech, usage dictated investment in new products. These days, they seem to feel the need to coerce us to use their products as they insist we should. I think users are getting fatigued by this dynamic. I used to be the first to install every update and try new apps and products. These days, I’m excited when I can stop using a product, and I don’t think it’s just due to age. It means I can stop having to be vigilant about some company I know is searching for ways to exploit me.
No one leaves this thread til above coin quantity is reconciled. -the mods


Popular doesn’t mean just.


Oh that’s good news! I really only use it for myself, so that sounds like I can stream my music without worrying


Dynamic DNS does cost money. But not $8 a month. Development also costs money which falls under the $8 a month, but really not my problem, which is why I use Jellyfin. I used to run Plex off of my Nvidia shield, which was a cool gateway drug to self hosting and I’m grateful to them for that, but I like handling the technical stuff myself.


The first one, yes. That’s what I do. But IIRC hosting media via cloudflare tunnels goes against the TOC and they reserve the right to ban users over it
Real life katamari



Idk if it’s rare, but my wife thinks it’s weird that I can smell on the breeze if we are near a winery. It’s kind of an astringent smell
In Python it can work but sometimes with crazy inefficient methods incorporated. In obscure geospatial stuff it often loses the plot. Still occasionally recommends functions that don’t exist
