- Comment on 97 days: Kamala Harris has yet to do formal press conference since emerging as Democratic nominee 3 weeks ago:
Got to hand it to Fox News, they really know how to manufacture bullshit narratives.
The headline makes it sound like she’s not talking to the press
I guess she’s been too busy travelling the country answering questions on 60 minutes, Howard Stern, Fox News, etc and attending debates and town halls.
Remind me again how often vice presidents typically do press conferences
- Comment on Linus Torvalds affirms expulsion of Russian maintainers 3 weeks ago:
I think pressure should be put on the US to divest from genocide. Sanctions from our allies would be helpful… Surely with the international court declaring Israel’s actions a war crime they could that should be to hard to make a case for it.
Our election system has fucked over anti-zionists and needs reforming, which is happening, but not by this November.
Ranked choice voting is gaining popularity, electoral college is under pressure and people are fed up with voter suppression and gerrymandering and things are moving in a positive direction on the local and state levels.

Jebus, I cant believe the engineers would allow them to be plugged wrong. It’s so easy to design that mistake away

Fr srious tho, it is really tragic. The young man especially; he was completely innocent and deserved better

Srsly, it’s clear these guys didnt play video games with controllers growing up. Could you imagine getting left drift down there!?
They should have had an entirely redundant system on there; the controller being the first item on the list and from there to the motors.

Excellent point on the webp.
I’m guessing that being google’s baby they integrated it into chromium

You are totally right AND He’s making a valid point with his sarcastic joke of “shut up, nerd!”
“Nobody cares” means companies dont want to spend money to incorporate it if there’s no demand from consumers.
Most consumers have no idea what a jpeg even is.
It won’t be until Apple or someone brands it as an iPeg and claims you have a smol pp if your device doesn’t have it that folks will notice.
Im reminded of telling folks about shoutcasts and nobody cared. Then apple comes out with podcasts and everyone was suddenly excited about 8 year old streaming tech

- Comment on HDD or SSD for a home server? 4 months ago:
I second this.
I have a nextcloud instance on pi4 for personal use and love it.
It’s not good for live transcoding of video, but works great for calendars, file sharing, photo sharing and music streaming.
I have a 500 gig SSD for most stuff and a 6TB HDD for backups and archiving.
I use docker compose to map a folder called archive in my instance to the HDD.

The side of the moon not facing earth is what I meant. Not actually sure if thats a correct phrase at all TBH. °far side* is probably a better phrase.
- Comment on We need this level of energy. All the time... 4 months ago:
Whitey on the moon is certainly a vivid slap to the face, but it isn’t the real cause of sister Nell’s rat bite (Google Gil Scott Heron whitey on the moon if you dont get the reference. It’s seriously awesome and on point and should be required listening in high school)
The most recent big kicks to the teeth were the 2trillion in tax breaks handed to corporations a few years back and the flood of Insurance company money into politics. Insurance corporations have ruined healthcare and made medical debt a leading cause of homelessness. Political donations have made sure the government doesnt do anything about it.
The 2 trillion in corporate tax breaks have obliterated funding to public health, rehab and job placement services as well as eliminating millions of jobs in the public services sector. These spur economic growth
Moon shit is arguably what made microchips, solar panels and thousands of other inventions that seriously funded a great deal of economic growth, getting thousands out of poverty, while simutaneously maintaining our leading military edge and bankrupting Russia’s warchest without murdering millions of people.
We should focus our opposition on corporate tax breaks and political bribes, not on the miniscule programs that actually do create some jobs… Also, China is making moves to occupy the moon, including the dak side of it. The moon is the ultimate high ground

Good points. Its rough being a member of the majority that is not in agreement with the governmental official line. Like I’m pretty sure most Russians hate putin, most Israeli s hate Bibi, most Chinese hate Xi and most USians hate both Biden and Trump… But here we all are, just trying to do right by people as best we can while still keeping our families from being destroyed by the pressures that be.
We just gotta keep the pressure up. Dont let the bastards grind you down. They are getting paid by some of the richest folks on the planet to do just that, while you have to make an honest living… Dont let them win. Keep your heart open to your neighbors and beyond
- Comment on It's kinda wild that zombo.com still exists 8 months ago:
I think were maybe just too busy to be involved enough in the irc-ish corners of the web to see it.
I bet there’s more than ever of it out there… You an I are just now into a perspectosphere of higher profitability, but lower keepin it surreality… If that makes sense
Which is kinda how it ahould be… The youth with their lack of responsibility own the edge of culture which they will eventually sort out to the worthwhile and the forgettable as their kids overtake the edge.
Zombocom is certainly in the worthwhile bucket. It encapsulates and distills so much into such a simple, light-weight package

- Comment on Considerations for a long-running Raspberry Pi 8 months ago:
If you intend to run a service like nextcloud or something that necessitates a lot or writing to a disk, I recommend gettingan nvme hat and booting off that.
I have a nextcloud instance thats been going for about a year and it’s been pretty great.
Before that my instance’s SD card died after about 6 months.

Any reason why?
I use Raspian on my pi and Ubuntu on my workstation and I maintain a debian server at work.
I love 'em all. Ubuntu Snaps arent my fav. but other than that they’ve been great
- Comment on Can't even buy chicken in peace 9 months ago:
Yeah wtf are they saying exactly?
That you, the customer, shouldn’t have any secrets?
The general feeling of the words gives the impression that they have nothing to hide (except their spice blend that the good ol colonel cooked up.)
Scrutinize it for a secons and it’s a pretty fucked up thing to tell your customer.

I’m sure there is. It also looks like solar and agriculture can be mutually beneficial, though I’ve yet to see any large scale projects doing it.
