I don’t understand the added value here
Hmmmm, well, you see …
the U.S. would “instantly win the war” if it ever decided to switch off its technology [(Referring in part to Microsoft Teams)]
That is the added value–you have a backup. Okay, it’s bad? and now you have time to refine before you are forced to figure something out.
You have a global day and you have local euphemisms. “Evening” just becomes “the dark after lunch” instead of “the dark after noon.” That’s a trivial linguistic adjustment to make to ensure that the thing we actually care about syncing up for convenience is synched up for convenience.
Edit: we already have such euphemisms and ambiguities in English:
Honestly we should just move to a timezoneless universal time. Places in one part of the world could open at 8:00 and close at 18:00 and somewhere on the other side of the world would open from 20:00 to 6:00. No zone change in travel or scheduling meetings would simplify communications and logistics, and you can also ditch this asinine “saving” concept as you’ll have decoupled when the sun rises from an arbitrary number.
“In June 2026, Politico cited a ‘senior administration official … granted anonymity’ said the odds of a preliminary deal to end the conflict with Iran were between 80 and 85 percent,” the letter said.
That’s it, the whole “threat” thing is predicated on that quote. It’s a claim Trump makes every fucking week, but somehow when his own VP claims it it’s a national security threat. Deeply unserious.
Yeah, Element on Matrix was the most promising thing I’d seen so far, but the ease of use and the community edition being capped at 100 peeps were the most concerning aspects for me. I might dig into it some more and see what a couple other volunteers think of it.
I can’t wait till it’s torn down.
How do you define “no posability of internet acess at all?”
Or do really mean you want CCTV to a local recorder with no cat ports and no WiFi cards at all so that you can’t physically connect the cameras to the internet even if you wanted to?
I have several poe reolinks that connect to an NVR which is plugged into my router and blocked from accessing the wider internet. I can use the app just fine at home, but nothing is escaping to the broader web. One could unplug the NVR from the router, thus removing the possibility of leaking to the internet at the expense of needing to use the physical HDMI and USB port when investigating incidents.
Well, they gotta pay people to rebuild somehow.
Last movie I saw in theaters I stopped at the bathroom and there was a guy walking out carrying a cup holder phone mount. Homie was doing the Lord’s work.
Trump will definitely sign that once it passes both chambers!
Copyright (and IP laws in general) is a means to capture parts of the market and is antithetical to producing a rich and vibrant culture. It artificially sequesters ideas away preventing a communal refinement and growth of those ideas. It’s commodifying nature corrupts creativity in pursuit of fiat.
I don’t like AI as a tool. It’s got a lot of problems, including it’s extortion of society’s creatives in pursuit of a diluted simulation of creativity–one which, as of yet, cannot produce something intrinsically new.
The solution to both of these is to remove the capitalist incentive and reprioritize society’s interests in the needs of the people. When creatives don’t have to rely on artificial limits of the market in order to stay alive and we can move to a system where creatives are free to create, not merely eek out moments of creativity between employ then they will be free to actually create–all of them, not just the lucky few. When the machines are decoupled from their own need to make money and are turned away from the simulacra factory toward covering essential, but boring tasks (and we’ve addressed the ecological disadvantages) then people will be further empowered to pursue creative interests.
Creativity should be bountiful and belong to society as a whole. It should not be a job–in part because we should build a future where jobs are optional. It should not be siloed into one mind for life plus 4 generations or trapped in an organization only to be checked out temporarily to boost profits.
When I get a job, I do notify those that gave me an offer. If a company has already rejected me then of course I’m not emailing them back to say “yeah, well I’m rejecting you!”
[Trump] criticized the Smithsonian Institute and National Park Service sites for allegedly focusing too much on the history of enslavement in the U.S., instead of the country’s “success.”
The US
Our entire history is built around slavery. Any discussion of the US should reflect it’s sordid past of enslavement, and any success we do see is built upon exploitation.
I’m guessing Trump’s involvement in January 6th was far more damaging to his businesses than reporting on it.
So it’s up to us then, right?
Cool, so that’s illegal.
You’re jumping ahead to a conclusion in the speech before even hearing it yourself
There’s no jumping going on here. Dude’s a broken af record. He can’t stop lying about his loss. He will continue to lie about his loss.
I mean you basically left the left the moment you had a stroke.
That seems pretty cut and dry as a sex discrimination based termination. Of course this admin will magically handwave away any consequences of violating protected class status.
