Likely not available scalable on an industrial level, as always.

Why doesn’t the employer just give them the fucking sick days
- Comment on Steve Ballmer is set to make $1 billion a year for doing nothing | CNN Business 10 months ago:
Apparently no one realizes this but if we want to stop this particular type of income we basically have to destroy how everyone’s long term and retirement savings work. He’s getting it from his share’s dividend income.
So at what amount do we guillotine someone? When they have accrued 1 million and are safely withdrawing 90k a year from their stocks/dividends? Are they allowed to do nothing and get income?

You can buy them right now, there’s more links in the 18650masterrace subreddit, but here’s just one:
srikobatteries.com/…/sodium-ion-18650-1250mah-50a…
However good luck finding a BMS that works for it’s particular voltage range, don’t think AliExpress has any yet.

Just use dokuwifi or media wiki or any of the already made OSS self-hosted solutions…
- Comment on Remember when NFTs sold for millions of dollars? 95% of the digital collectibles are now probably worthless. 1 year ago:
I guess this is kind of my point. The general left consensus on copyrights, creator’s content, DRM, and AI is not founded a position of principles, it’s foundation is seemingly only what serves the end goal which is whatever is perceived to help middle/lower class the most.
Which of course I can totally get down with, but I just resent that everyone covers their arguments as if it’s coming from a principled idea when in actuality they hold little principles on the matter and just want an end goal.

I was under the impression that the main point of DRM was to prevent blanket copying of a product and sharing with others who haven’t purchased said product.

So you’re pro-DRM then if it helps content creators sell one copy per customer?

What about the rights of the creator and fair compensation? That argument alone is driving the entire backlash against AI and AI created art reading people’s work without restriction, why not here too?

Alright, I concede. These are all fair points.

Iirc he did at first until the US military worked out a deal with Starlink.
- Comment on SpaceX projected 20 million Starlink users by 2022—it ended up with 1 million 1 year ago:
I love that you have 6 downvotes probably purely because you dared to say Starlink is good. Haven’t you heard the news that Musk is bad therefore you’re a bad person too for using Starlink?
- Comment on SpaceX projected 20 million Starlink users by 2022—it ended up with 1 million 1 year ago:
You’ve clearly never read anything about Starlink and it’s implementation. Rural customers are desperate for any alternatives, and Starlink has 100s of LEO satellites vs Viasat’s… 4.

Is starling like an interstellar zergling or something?
- Comment on Do Multivitamins actually do anything? 1 year ago:
There’s new studies that disagree, they are easily oxidized fats and there’s evidence that they heavily contribute to heart disease. Saturated fats from animal sources seems to be the way to go.

The USA is also one of the most authoritarian countries in the world.
Lol you people are literally the worst most delusional basement incels I swear
- Comment on Hexbear federation megathread 1 year ago:
Yup, your modern liberal certainly doesn’t anymore because they apparently have no principles. Just whatever the party line is at the moment.
- Comment on Hexbear federation megathread 1 year ago:
Leftists don’t believe in free speech? Can you explain to me what makes me a liberal?
- Comment on Hexbear federation megathread 1 year ago:
If someone is influenced by these people’s particular attitudes then they’re already not set-up to have their own healthy beliefs and likely don’t have intellectual humility. That’s a journey everyone needs to find themselves in time. Deplatforming isn’t the answer.
- Comment on Hexbear federation megathread 1 year ago:
Just throwing in my 2 cents, I’ve had the most infuriating argument with some braindead fucking hexbear tankies, but I absolutely still believe defederation is not the answer. As a leftist, I believe in free speech and freedom of autonomy and association. I just block the worst ones.
If hexbear can keep a reign on their users and they understand they need to follow other sub/instance rules when posting there, and proactively bans abusers, then that’s good enough.
