Thank you. I can’t figure out if it’s that or a rest-of-the-fucking-owl.

If you add white vinegar to load, you won’t get the ick from clothes sitting in washer for hours.

Please forgive a wildly uninformed question: What is it that VMware does today that isn’t covered by Docker?

I used to smoke in the shower in the ‘70s. Loved it.
I also had a roommate who had to get up at least once per night to smoke.

- Comment on Since Elon Musk’s Twitter purchase, firm reportedly lost 72% of its value 10 months ago:
I can’t figure out why BlueSky never comes out of invite-only. It would absolutely crush Twitter in this moment when there is so much demand for a direct replacement.
- Comment on The 'Effective Accelerationism' movement doesn't care if humans are replaced by AI as long as they're there to make money from it 10 months ago:
Prediction: The world will return to something that looks like feudalism, with increased clamping on birth rates until a few rich holders remain with their human retinues solely there to entertain and flatter them. Otherwise, AI and robotics will cosset them.
Once production is automated there is little need for workers, and once knowledge work is automated there is no need for a professional and technocratic class. Consumers have nothing to spend, so they are effectively a drag on the economy of wealth.
That world then looks a lot like the time before the merchant class developed. Everything of any quality is made for the wealthy, and everyone else exists solely at the pleasure of their masters.

That was very helpful, thanks!
Only problem I have left is getting NGINX Reverse Proxy Manager set up, so that I can offer Overseerr webpage. The Let’s Encrypt cert generator keeps throwing an internal error at the last step. Something is preventing LE from reaching my server, and I’m too clueless to solve at this point.

- Comment on Europe inches closer to insisting gig workers are treated as employees / If it looks like a job, and is supervised like a job, it'll be classified as a job 11 months ago:
It was fascinating to watch the rideshare companies convince their San Francisco drivers to actively support and evangelize the bill in California that ruined their ability to get benefits and employment protections, then turn around and extract so much value away from those drivers in the period since that most of those drivers, who tended to be American-born and have relatively nice cars, have been replaced by recent immigrants driving fleet-owned older cars. I would also not be shocked to learn that the latter are being cheated by whoever signs them up and helps them navigate Lyft and Uber’s processes.

There used to be a business joke you’d hear in the ‘60s, often attributed to John Wanamaker, a pioneer in marketing:
“Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is, I don’t know which half!”
The joke highlights the dilemma many businesses face in evaluating the effectiveness of their advertising spend. It’s remained relevant in the advertising and marketing industries, reflecting the challenges in measuring the impact of advertising efforts.

Too bad the product is execrable today.

No idea, but the greatest predictor of whether someone will believe a conspiracy theory is if they already believe another conspiracy theory.

I don’t see as nearly as many used ThinkCentre Tinys for sale with post 7th gen chips. I wonder if this is why.
- Comment on Is this a bad option for a home server? 1 year ago:
QuickSync is available on earlier gen machines. I have 7th gen with it.
- Comment on After luring customers with low prices, Amazon stuffs Fire TVs with ads 1 year ago:
Functionally, it’s proven to be a really great TV, particularly at the price point. At most, only one ad in the interface, and it’s for a movie typically.
- Comment on After luring customers with low prices, Amazon stuffs Fire TVs with ads 1 year ago:
Disturbing; thanks for sharing that. Seems like the Roku flavor may be okay-ish, but I just walled it off from rest of home network anyway.
- Comment on After luring customers with low prices, Amazon stuffs Fire TVs with ads 1 year ago:
I can’t figure out why the cheap TCL I bought 5 years ago isn’t packed with ads. Maybe because it’s Roku-based?

Right there with you. I don’t enjoy OW2 as a heals & tank specialist. I have a pet theory that they should have bifurcated the tanks in OW1 into two different required classes and kept 6v6.
Looking forward to this, just in time for summer:
