The one near me is a 5min ride away. I could walk, but that wouldn’t make a difference in going. The parking lot is huge, I see no negative to driving… even if it was 20-30min away.

It’s the content, price, and experience that tends to keep me at my walking distance home theater with 11.2 Dolby Atmos and OLED. Even when it was only 5.1 it was still a better option most of the time. And I can relax, kick back, have a beer, curl up under a blanket, pause to deposit used beer, etc.

No company will stop attempting to achieve mega corp status in a capitalist environment. Gotta make that line go up and to the right!

Or we could, you know, NOT do that. That’d be the better option.

Because no judges died during his reign… they’re lifetime appointments.

It’s actually pretty depressing how little money it takes to buy a senator. We’re talking hundreds to single digit thousands of dollars. Not really going to set that off, sadly.

That’s just what a scammer would say!

Thing is, they don’t have the same opportunities. The one reason why trump has been able to push things through in this shitty manner, is because the Republicans have stacked the Supreme Court (because the holes from people dying got filled while Republicans were in power) and they have majority control of Congress.

Much of what Trump has “undone” wasn’t undone legally. Many of the things he did requires congress to rollback and other things are caught up in courts. But in the mean time they happened so it will be potentially unable to be put back even if it is ordered so.

I actually just pulled some files off of one from 2004-ish. No issues. Found another one from 2008 about a year ago that had no issues as well. Not sure why… maybe because they were so much lower capacity? Like, one was 64MB and that was huge back then.

First off, I’m not here to defend anyone. Biden and the Democrats should have been further left, and told our supposed ally to pound sand when they wanted bombs for Gaza. But they are an ally, and these deals came from Congress, so the democrats have basically zero say in what actually happens there because the republicans hold enough power there to make it so.

Secondly, don’t gaslight me. There’s plenty of news sites, it was pretty well covered, and I lived through it. I know what I read and saw. I don’t think it went far enough, and I’m pissed off it went the way it did, but it happened. A quick Google/bing/kagi search reveals plenty of results.

Thirdly, it doesn’t really matter. If you have the choice between “we’re going to let them bomb the shit out of them” and “were probably going to let them bomb the shit out of them” you don’t really get a choice on that front. You can NEVER truly be a single issue voter anyway in the US, so the fact that you choose who you didn’t means you liked the rest of Trump’s Project 2025 platform as well. You choose who’s more closely aligned with what you think is best and then you petition your congressional representative with your position. And I know we’re all looking forward to see just how far down economic security can go.

Cool thing is that Poverty isn’t just money:

Fundamentally, poverty is a denial of choices and opportunities, a violation of human dignity. It means lack of basic capacity to participate effectively in society. It means not having enough to feed and clothe a family, not having a school or clinic to go to, not having the land on which to grow one’s food or a job to earn one’s living, not having access to credit. It means insecurity, powerlessness and exclusion of individuals, households and communities. It means susceptibility to violence, and it often implies living in marginal or fragile environments, without access to clean water or sanitation.

There are plenty of other definitions, but they all revolve around these things: food, clothing, shelter, clean water and air, etc. All basic human needs.

Yeah, because Trump didn’t make it clear enough that he was going to hand over as many bombs as possible to speed the genocide up so he could build a hotel/resort there. What the hell did you think would happen with the “I’ll just buy stocks in defense contractors before I escalate a war” Republican party?

Gimme a break. I hate Biden but at least he was trying to talk Netanyahu down and setup a peace deal. Biden even held bombs back until the republicans threatened to impeach him. Do I think he should have stuck to his guns, absolutely, but it’s congress that makes those decisions, not the president. Either way, thanks for choosing the worst timeline, directly or indirectly it doesn’t matter at this point.

passengers will also be able to upload their passports to their phone and travel through airports using their face for verification. Instead of manually checking in, which would let airlines know who intends to board their flights, airlines will instead be alerted when passengers arrive at the airport and their face is scanned

They can’t even reliably scan a QR code, how can they pull that off with 100% accuracy?

Because X is definitely the right place for that, and something older generations will have access to and know how to use…

Can we stop this timeline now?

I completely agree, but every week or two is too long. At one point we had ours running builds + automated regression testing => release twice or more a day. Along with automatic change logs and monitoring, It was so nice. Tiny updates are always better to test and know exactly what/where/how a failure or positive change occurs when the cadence is that fast. The devs loved it, the QA loved it, and as a DevOps, I loved it. We were even able to do AB testing and rolling updates.

It only got worse when management changed hands and some people decided on going agile in a “Scrum-but” method and it’s been a drag that sprints are 3 weeks long. Now releases take longer, have larger impact for better or worse, and regression testing is much more complex and I have to be more involved in releasing new code. The faster cadence meant it happened so often it was fully automated and I didn’t even know when most went out unless I was watching a dashboard.

Honestly, if I were TikTok and saw this, I’d just shut off all US access to TikTok, make it clear the Tarrifs and Trump are the reason, and watch gleefully as a good % of the US that use it start revolting against Trump.

This, but Jellyfin. Plex has already begun its enshitification, sadly.

There’s a normal docker image, If this is all you want. However in all honesty, kubernetes is so nice to work with compared to running multiple docker compose things on the same host or the nightmare of a multi-host docker only lab. Just depends on how much homelab/selfhosting you’re doing. I know I’m grateful they included a helm chart here and I wish more self hosted software projects did as well. Options are always nice to have.

How does that have less than a million views? My team and I quote/use/reference it so often.

Just because most everyone agrees doesn’t mean you should stop. The vast majority of Lemme seems to agree that Musk is a piece of shit, but I’m going to keep point it out anyway.
