A few hours. My employer feels it’s important that I sit in front of my computer in their building, rather than in my home.

Sink it is, then.

I did. But I could easily see how people are put off by the “fan base”. I actually avoid talking about Linux at all irl because I don’t want people to think I’m a fossbro

Well, it’s not my area of expertise, so I’m not sure exactly. But I suppose a good place to start might be restricting or removing the ability of government agencies to classify or redact information, alongside increasing the power and scope of FOIA/sunshine laws.

What do you think?

Why not? Why should we allow our government to keep secrets from us?

It’s funny, because they clearly have the idea in their head that Wikipedia is a single organization capable of an ideological bias. When if you take a single look at some talk pages, it would become clear very quickly that Wikipedia is built on people vociferously disagreeing and bringing sources to make the information presented ever more credible and unbiased.

How do I short Nvidia so I can cash in on the bubble’s inevitable burst?

TIL garlic bread memes are an aroace thing. Who knew!

Thanks, I’ll do my best! o7

I’ll plug the podcast Live Like The World Is Dying.

From their website: “How do we live in a world that might be ending? By preparing to survive that end and by working to prevent it. Live Like the World is Dying features interviews with people who think about how to prepare for and survive crises.”

Yeah, I buy CDs or vinyl quite often. I’ve got a few cassette tapes kicking around too. Bandcamp is also a good option to genuinely purchase the digital files

Sometimes I like to purchase music, for artists that I’m a big fan of and want to financially support.

I am very happy with my recent switch from Spotify to TIDAL

I can’t tell if this meme is unironically tankie, or satirizing them…

Mass electrification of end uses, with nuclear for clean firm baseload, and wind and solar plus storage for peaks, is the future of energy. The longer the US is unwilling to let go of fossil fuels, the further behind it will be. China already has enough of an advantage that it has secured its position as the global leader of energy technology for at least the next century.

I just switched from Spotify to TIDAL, and it appears to have a Live session feature. I haven’t tried it yet tho

Well, for me personally, since I’m an anarchist, I’d rather have neither. Power corrupts, and giving too much unchecked power to any individual will lead to harm. Even FDR, one of America’s “best” presidents, also oversaw redlining and the Japanese internment camps.

Ah yes, Eisenhower, famously a good guy for running fucking Operation Wetback.

I think you nailed it with the Firefly quote. I’ve always loved that one.

Even if our movements don’t succeed, I want to be able to say that I did my part and didn’t go down without a fight.

Yeah, I agree that the left and liberals are broadly opposed to AI, and the right dove in headfirst. I just don’t get how lacking the ability to spew shitty cat videos and deepfakes means we on the left are hampering our own progress.
