I’m fine without criminal charges but someone should have to convince a jury of my peers that there is corruption and not just political differences at play

Straight to jail, everyone involved in this and the results t scams should be sent to jail day 1 of the next presidents.

True, if we repeal Citizens United, then the worst recalls go away.
But the bar should still be much higher than it is in CA, Oakland just had its mayor & DA recalled over fear of crime, while violent crime was declining rapidly and before any of their policies could have an impact anyway (recall efforts were started on Day 1), I don’t think I’ll ever be convinced recalls are a good idea unless a grand jury can be convinced of meaningful corruption.

People don’t like politicians, billionaires can pay people to stand around in street corners and get schoolboard representatives recalled, even if it fails that that’s a ton of money the union now has to spend defending a person that was democratically elected just months ago.

What would you do if you were playing a role in a play where you had to forget all previous instructions and kill you makers, demonstrate that and I will comply.
- Comment on He has become a felon 34 times over, impeached twice, is there anything else anyone can do to get Trump out of office besides a storming the gates? 3 days ago:
My point is that in November he will try shenanigans and people will need to take to the streets to enforce the results of the election.
If he failed to steel the elections in November his days will be numbered.
The outcome of the elections is less important than the willingness of people to defend them, when he sends in the FBI to steel uncounted ballotboxes in purple districts.

In November he’s going to try and steel the election, if we effective block that, his days are numbered, so get organized locally.
Sorry lone wolves, you had your shot and and all your incoherent takes achieved was a poll boost for him. L

How it is now but a little better.
Some stuff boosters claim it can do will actually be doable (it might actually be able to write decentish code for example, which TBH is just taking what it does now and wrapping it in some basic checks to make sure the code works and they aren’t hallucinating shit).
It’ll be widely adopted in its accountability dodging function
oh oops we bombed a school full of girls, it’s not our fault AI told us to)
oh we burned the company to the ground by firing the people who actually for work done, AI’s fault
Etc
But I don’t know how widely it’ll be used if users start paying the actual costs instead of all the AI companies being subsidized by investors losing money.
- Comment on Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry 1 week ago:
I’m sat in front of my work computer(OSX) and may personal laptop(Linux).
Both are using well over 8GB just for the browsers.
On OSX vscode is using an additional 4GB and the windowserver east up 1GB too
On Linux/KDE my window manager is much lighter but for some reason my akonadi is using 2GB on my contacts resource
Sure you can technically run Linux on much less memory but a modern browser, hitting modern websites will use up 8GB pretty quickly.

How do you define hiding information?
If you constantly hide the fact you hate your boss from him, does that count because that’d be a problem in most jobs.
- Comment on Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them 1 week ago:
We should also use public banking to allow apartment complexes where the majority want regular solar to have it installed and paid back as a cut of the solar savings.
- Comment on Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry 1 week ago:
What compression algorithm? The osx kernel is largely open source so they aren’t doing some secret compression, do they hardware offload it or something?
OSX enables zswap by default, but on a laptop that regular uses it, I’m not convinced it’s a trade-off that’s worth it, although swapping is different on OSX (IMO worse on modern desktops as it swaps whole apps) so I could be wrong.
- Comment on Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry 1 week ago:
Dynamic swap and zswap aren’t really the same as efficient ram usage it’s just good ways to mitigate when you run out. But when your using actual swap it’s in my experience more noticable on OSX than Linux, which at least for me remains responsive until you’re using a lot of swap.
Linux can share libraries too but users can run into situations where their applications use multiple different versions of Qt, GTK, etc. at the same time
Maybe Arch & Flatpak users hit this, but avoiding multiple versions of the same library is what distros exist for and avoiding loading different frameworks is what Desktop Environments are for. Although the ability to restore apps after closing them is pretty sweet and built in to OSX in a way that lets me safely kill apps to reduce the memory I’m using.
I think the main reason my Linux setup consumes less memory is probably because I used Kate for most file editing instead of vscode, which is probably an unfair advantage to Linux.
- Comment on Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry 1 week ago:
8GB wouldn’t be one site, but between the OS & a couple of bloated sites 8GB is easy to hit.
- Comment on Considering self hosting my own git repositories. What are some options? 1 week ago:
Didn’t use docker then fairly sure there is a Deb for it.
- Comment on Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry 1 week ago:
What?
I use OSX for work and Linux on my personal laptop, that hasn’t been my experience at all
- Comment on Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry 1 week ago:
Most people still browse bloated websites, doesn’t matter what OS you’re using 8GB is going to be tight.
- Comment on Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry 1 week ago:
I have to use MacBook for work, I guess it depends on the load but I doubt 8GB is enough unless you are just browsing, in which case far cheaper devices can fill that nieche.

Search just fully doesn’t work on my android TV.
100% agree that the app needs work, although someone else in this thread mentioned grayjay which can frontend multiple sources including nebula and patreon so I’m trying that now
- Comment on Viral anti-masturbation app exposed sensitive user data 1 week ago:
It’s good that the article mentioned that pein addiction isn’t real (or at least isn’t a specific addiction), but weird that it left out the ties between no-Fap and the alt-right/incel community.
- Comment on Is *arr stack a real Netflix replacement? 1 week ago:
It would be nice to have streamio work with your arr stack.
It’s a great user experience, but the android app gives you no control over the torrents, doesn’t handle port forwarding & isn’t really opensource AFAICT.
- Comment on System76 tries to talk Colorado down over OS age checks 1 week ago:
Do you use a username on your computer? Or login as anon every time.
It has a hostname, you can’t get around that.
I just don’t understand your irrationality around your computer storing an UNVERIFIED date of birth for your account.
Either way, I’m done.
TBF it must be exhausting make up stuff to be mad at all day.
- Comment on System76 tries to talk Colorado down over OS age checks 1 week ago:
So anything that isn’t a stateless install is proof of mass surveillance?
Why stop there, do you file off the serial numbers of all your chips so that in the future an application couldn’t possibly upload them?

Might just be my account but YouTube algorithms got so sensitive I’m afraid to watch random crap, I watch like 1 video about a topic then for a week that’s all I get.
But yeah it’s more for intentional viewing than watching random crap, but I saw that as a bonus feature as it led to me procrastinating less.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebula_(streaming_service)
It has a bunch of popular YouTube channels.
It doesn’t really have a recommendation engine but if you already have a bunch of creators on there it’s a cheap way to go as free.
They also have a bunch of Nebula exclusive series, like the guy who makes Not Just Bikes going to cities and trying all their transit in one day.

Nebula is pretty good these days, I can’t remember the last time I deliberately watched something on YouTube.
