I promise you, the Republican party doesn’t care who they offend as long as it’s an out-group.

This guy’s company is planning to build nuclear-powered datacenters btw. Check in with yourself on whether you think that’s a good power this responsible human being should have.

Fuck the single cousin? I don’t see the problem

Not everyone in Europe has forgotten what it was like to live in a police state. And if my fellow Americans could fully comprehend it, it wouldn’t be happening.

Thirded. Immich has no right to be as good as it is after such a short time. Completely took down my google photos, finally, and I still have face recognition, word search and automatic backup from my phone.

My favorite thing I’ve done with hass is put a color-changing light bulb by my front door. It’s connected to the weather forecast. I know what the weather will be at a glance without a website or going outside. (Where I live, it’s not always obvious when I’m gonna get rained on.)

The only part of this that really bothers me is that nerds are still incessantly quoting Monty Python at each other.

Folks, the docker runtime is open source, and not even the only one of its kind. They won’t charge for that. If they tried to make it closed source, everyone would just laugh and switch to one of several completely free alternatives. They charge for hosting images, build time on their build servers, and various “premium” developer tools you don’t need. In fact, you need none of this, you can do all of it yourself on whatever hardware you deem to be good enough. There are also many other hosted alternatives out there.

Docker thinks they have a monopoly, for some reason. If you use the technology, you are probably already aware that they don’t.

Not exactly the same. First of all, a new company hasn’t formed yet and if it does it won’t retain as many of the original staff because it doesn’t have the same momentum as one formed through a legal separation of the companies while everyone is still employed.

It also can’t retain the rights to Stray which would have provided some funding. And it doesn’t retain the rights to whatever projects they had in development, so they won’t have anything to work on for a while.

That legal spinning off was actually pretty important.

Mostly it’s just CYA for google since cycling is more dangerous than driving (due to the people driving), so there’s more surface area for them to get sued.

But yeah

• turns and crossings that look safe on a map don’t have very much data on whether they’re actually safe, because google has a thousand times as much information about drivers than cyclists.
• google sometimes suggests routes that can’t be traversed, legally or at all, by a bike. Same reason.
• sometimes google suggests avoiding something a bike doesn’t actually have to worry about. This is actually the category of error I see the most: google sends you around something when you could simply walk your bike through it, or ride through it, because you’re not a car.

Insurance is, at its core, a reasonable halfway measure towards public control of a critical resource. If you need something only very rarely, but it’s something that needs to exist ALL THE TIME just in case, insurance allows you to pool your resources with other people in the same boat and afford to keep an industry around just in case. Somebody will always be using it right now, and it’ll be there when you need it, because you paid into the pool.

The problem is, as always, the insertion of capitalism into the solution. If someone has to profit from this set of relationships, the motivation to provide the resource is in competition with the motivation to extract more profit. This is what happened to healthcare.

Insurance is only a halfway measure because we already have an organization capable of managing common resources that individuals use only rarely but which the public needs all the time: that organization is the government, or the governments at various levels. We manage lots of things this way: fixing roads, stopping houses from burning down, pulling people out of floodwaters, that kind of thing. You don’t need it all the time, but it’s there when you need it because you’re paying taxes to a government that has no profit motive from it. Insurance should only ever have existed temporarily while government infrastructure was debated and organized, but the for-profit industry managed to capture enough of the government to keep itself alive indefinitely.

In short, insurance isn’t inherently bad, just not meant to be a permanent fix. Capitalism is bad.

Student with actual gun given a thumbs-up and a gentle kiss on the forehead.

It seems like it would be super easy for them to close this loophole. If you use the model that free tier listeners (real ones) will listen to about the same distribution of songs as the paying listeners, then just stop counting all free tier listeners and multiply the amount paid out for the pay-tier listeners by an appropriate factor to make payouts the same as before.

I mean, how could you not

You couldn’t make Deadpool & Wolverine today because it just came out and people would not be ready for a reboot this early.

Chloride is the ionic form

Well I’m glad they used KCl, I thought this was going to be a container half-full of chlorine–concerning, if you intend to put it on your food.

Linus is the leader of the kernel project. As a leader, it’s his job to get the maintainers to agree. It’s not Rust’s job to make the C devs stop bullying them.

If Linus thinks Rust is a good direction, he should show it by actually standing up to Ted and developers like him and making them behave.

If he doesn’t think it’s a good direction, he should say that too, so the remaining Rust devs can stop wasting time on the project.

When someone in a niche part of the project steps down like this, that’s a problem with the top-level leadership. Linus’ record on leadership is… mixed. Trending in a good direction the last few years, but this makes me wonder. He can still save this, but he has to want to.
