That’s absolutely wild. They took her car so she took their name.

I have a number of indoor grow systems that have LED lights on a timer. I guess now I need to start worrying about the police raiding my house to seize my crop of lettuce and tomatoes.

What exactly is Snap and why does everyone hate it?

He’s evil. I honestly can’t think of a single policy he has supported that wasn’t cruel or stupid.

I’m not very familiar with LLMs. How do you install a local copy?

It doesn’t even look that bad. I don’t know what he’s complaining about

I really don’t understand how these people think. A person reliant on government funding and immigrant workers votes for the guy who campaigned on cutting government funding and getting rid of immigrants.

I’m using Bazzite with the Microsoft Wireless Controller and it’s working fine with one caveat. The controller requires a firmware update that requires a Windows OS or an Xbox.

Gaming on Bazzite has been great although trying to figure out how to install software on it is a little bit more difficult since it’s an immutable distro.

Large corporations would be able to afford to make deals with ISPs to give them preferential treatment so that access to their sites are faster than others. This is good for social media sites whose whole business model is monetizing their users. Things like the Fediverse would be hit especially hard because of its distributed nature.

ISPs can offer further tiers of plans making it more expensive to access websites that don’t belong to major corporations bribing the ISPs. All the corporations win in this scheme while furthering the enshittification of the Internet.

Want to use Linux? Accessing those sites is difficult and expensive so why not use Windows instead

Want to use Mastodon? Sorry but that sites super slow so how about Twitter instead.

Want to use end to end encrypted email? Too bad. The connection their servers are super spotty. Better use Gmail or Yahoo for email like everyone else.

The bad sites are likely the ones to not require a fee to access. It would be smaller sites and the Fediverse that would become more difficult and expensive to access.

Why pay to access Mastodon or Lemmy when you can use Twitter and Reddit for “free”. It’s a scheme that would benefit large corporations over smaller independent services.

One of my favorite quotes is “A Republican would eat shit if they thought a liberal would have to smell their breath.”

This is real?!? When I first heard about this, I thought it was a joke.

I need you to rephrase all news to make it not so depressing.

How about they publicly warn about it as well as follow up with some criminal charges. We have systems in place to stop all of this but it requires the officials to grow a spine and actually use them.

That’s incredibly stupid. I’m pretty sure doing that would hurt all his tech bros though so I’m thinking it won’t actually happen.

It’s one of my favorite Star Trek episodes for that very reason. It’s an excellent trolley problem that forced Archer to do something bad to completely innocent people to save even more people.

I didn’t realize beating a cop to death was considered a minor incident.

I agree. The Fediverse stuff is really well suited for governments and businesses. They can be in complete control of their instance, post whatever information they want distributed, and they don’t need to rely on any other business for it.

The real problem is that these people get away with it. There are no consequences to their actions. If no one is going to hold them accountable then it’s not just a belief they have, they really are above the law.
