Damn, that’s hot. What’s the actual temp and humidity? We got some days like that (105-110 with high humidity) here in central Europe and a bunch of people did die from it this summer.

It’s happened twice to me in seven years of using arch (not black screen, just something being broken after an update) and both times would’ve been avoided if I’d just read the fucking blog like you’re meant to, but yolo lmao. Still on the same install, everything still fine after just switching one package for another or whatever.

A rich individual may buy one lemmy instance, can they buy them all?

Yes, easily. Additionally, they can control the search engines which lead there or not, the commonly used platforms for code sharing so that development is more difficult, and so forth. They have an incredible advantage through economy of scale. The barrier to entry for putting any information on the internet may not be very high, but making it findable and accessible has a very high barrier, and relies on corporate-controlled platforms.

This just means rich individuals decide what people see instead of states. It doesn’t result in education.

it’s orders of magnitude harder to do with ram than with a complete, network-connected device. not saying it’s not possible, but I personally wouldn’t be very worried about it.

They don’t have a viable business, bailing them out would be the real millstone around the neck of the economy, it would be a bottomless pit to throw money into.

Generally couldn’t agree more, but

What the fuck does a piece of software need that exorbitant amount for anyway?

For a widely used chat app with calling and video calling, servers.

It’s not about what racism is more important. Don’t put words in my mouth. As if happens, in this moment anti Muslim hate is actually globally much more important than antisemitism but that has nothing to do with the point I’m making. Just talking about one thing doesn’t mean it’s more important than another thing. IMO it’s quite meaningful to understand the various flavours of right-extremism, it explains a lot about the tensions between the various factions for example. There is currently substantial division on the right about whether to support Israel because they are killing Muslims or to hate them as well because they are Jews, and you may not care or want to think about that, it’s perfectly valid, but the way it plays out will have serious political consequences and effects on the lives of many people

Yes sure but the point is the way in which Carlson does antisemitism is the very traditional style, with the conspiracy theories about jews running the world and the charicatures and so on. Nazis famously didn’t love other non white people either, I understand he has plenty of hate to go around. But he is a legit antisemite unlike most people who get called that these days.

Tucker Carlson is a genuine old school European Nazi type anti-Semite.

Haha what, 1.5 L of store brand soda water is roughly 30 US cents here, and I live in an expensive country.

If that’s the real price and the games are then also $25 cheaper, sure. They’re not giving you that money for free, the average consumer spends the same amount on the system+games either way. If they decide to use a misleading pricing strategy to manipulate people they don’t get to complain when people use products they bought differently to how they were intended.

So blame the dumb business plan?

That’s a verb, this kickback is a noun, like an event for hanging out at.

Nurses do have an especially varied and high-demand job but literally everyone does a million things every day that AI can’t, and in it’s current iteration could never do. Very very few people will actually lose their job to “AI” in the next decade, although many probably have to its false promises, and many more will because of the huge economic crash when businesses finish figuring this out.

Sadly it’s way more banal and boring than that.

WTF are you talking about? I’m not condoning anything, just giving my estimate of the likely factual outcome. And no military man earned my freedom, such as I have any it was won by union organisers and socialist activists.

The obligatory response to this is “there’s no expectation of privacy in public places”,

That is a USA-specific legal standard which doesn’t apply in much of the world. While it has it’s upsides it also has downsides and it shouldn’t be seen as gospel, or the only way to do things.

Nah, you will just individually get sent to jail or shot by the police depending on the country, and that’ll be enough of a warning to everyone else.

Given the contents of the meme, even if they’re both women or enby, they’re somehow still straight.
