If only this could’ve been avoided.

If only there were some sort of “due procedure” where facts could be presented as “evidently” in some sort of “room of law” and sort some of “evaluator person” could come up with a “deciding” on what to do with an accused person.

But people want the freedom that comes with having a horse. Maybe if we could put horses on the tracks and hook them up to each other.

It’s kinda weird that between unicorns, centaurs, giraffes, and horses, horses are the only made-up ones. Like come on, giraffes? Really? It’s a centaur with a dumb face, but instead of a chest and arms it’s just more neck?

Not really. There are barely any chips out there.

Oct 2021: 200 billion ARM chips

Nov 2023: 1 billion RISC-V chips, hoping to hit 16 billion by 2030

Nov 2024: 300 billion ARM chips

Fantastic post!

I just wanna emphasize that last part.

If you have persistent pain, and you’ve already checked the obvious stuff, you absolutely need to see a doctor. It’s not just about maximizing your fun. Chronic pelvic pain can indicate serious problems.

Careful about rewarding yourself for getting upset.

Cool, but… why not just NixOS?

“The ACI allows the European Union to suspend intellectual property rights, it allows some people to use software for free, for example licence fees on things like streaming services or software could be suspended,” said Conall Mac Coille, Chief Economist at Bank of Ireland.

Fucking do it!

This is what Cory Doctorow has been telling Canada to do for months now.

Also worth noting: tech companies would not be “in the crossfire” — they are the primary fire.

On Democracy Now:

And if they do remove these laws, if we do allow domestic tech competitors all over the world to reverse engineer, modify and erode the high monopoly rents extracted by these American tech firms, we do something very effective in this trade war, because the only thing keeping the S&P 500 afloat are these tech monopolists. If you take the Big Tech stocks out of the S&P 500, you’ve got a stock market that has been in decline for a decade. And when you decompose their balance sheets and you see where they get all their money, it’s from price gouging on repairs, service, parts, consumables, software.

ARM support. Every SoC is a new horror.

Armbian does great work, but if you want another distro you’re gonna have to go on a lil adventure.

Behind the Bastards had a Christmas special non-bastard episode on the Tupamaros of Uruguay and Pepe Mujica. It does seem like they have some decent politics there.

I know devs like everything to be perfect, but if your business can work around it for 15 years without fixing the bug or replacing the system, I dare say it doesn’t qualify as a major bug.

I don’t get it

There are only two reasons softwares goes for decades without being replaced:

1. It’s so unimportant that nobody uses it
2. It’s so important that the last major bug was squashed 15 years ago

“If something you see is really difficult then you can leave your desk, but at that moment you have to remember to put on your computer that you are on ‘wellbeing’,” explains Eyvazzadeh. “But if the supervisors think you are using wellbeing more than you should, they will intervene. They would say: ‘Your ‘production’ time is a bit lower than expected, you have been on wellbeing a lot.’ So you are pressured to increase your time on ‘production’ by decreasing your ‘wellbeing.’”

It’s bad enough we make overseas workers spend all day pulling the lever of a slot machine that yields mis-flagged puppy videos and gruesome beheadings with equal likelihood, but then we stack NDAs, legal obstacles, surveillance, and KPI admonishment on top of it.

If you wrote this in a sci-fi novel, your editor would say “that’s a little cartoonishly evil, isn’t it?”

Edit: Oh, health privacy violations and union-busting too. Classy stuff!

Oh cancer shows up in bloodwork? I thought you needed a scan for that.

What prompted the screening? How does that even work? Like “Doc I don’t feel right, can I get a cancer-check?”

What the dumbwaiter hides

Way larger than I imagined, too. And yeah, I would also suspect they’re pretty messy and occassionally traumatic. But so are monogamous relationships.

I wouldn’t worry about eating your hat here. And also, I’m not digging the downvotes you’ve been catching. I think you presented a pretty reasonable take based on your own experience. That’s not the same experience everyone has, but that’s kinda the whole point of this thread, isn’t it?

Results show that 1 out of 6 people (16.8%) desire to engage in polyamory, and 1 out of 9 people (10.7%) have engaged in polyamory at some point during their life. Approximately 1 out of 15 people (6.5%) reported that they knew someone who has been or is currently engaged in polyamory.

Seems like it’s fairly common.

It’s as normal as dyeing your hair blue. It’s not the go-to for everybody, but if you go to the supermarket it’s right there on the shelf with all the other options.
