Since this is uplifting news, I’ll skip past everything I would have said on other subs to get to the silver lining:

I hope this gets Americans to actually start caring for themselves, and further to realize that feeding a lot of people at once costs less than trying to figure out how to feed one family at a time. And lastly that it is billionaires causing hunger, not immigrants.

Oops. The strategy to put on a cruel and embarrassing display to dissuade investment, and then ask for unilateral investment isn’t working?

Would you look at that, the first snowflakes of the season came early! ❄️

Well, uh, try training your AI with the lessons learned, and hope it doesn’t instantly pretend it never happened the very next day.

The one value proposition for juniors is that though they screw up a lot, they learn by screwing up. High turnover and curtailing your junior experience using AI are major technical mistakes on management’s part.

It really shows what a great life that we on the Fediverse are living, by making our tech independent to a degree from the largest tech providers.

So by tying the bed to Amazon’s cloud exclusively, reduces its uptime from 100% to 99.5% or lower…

It has a Garfield Kart 1 feel to it.

So more like “wealthcare” than healthcare.

Maybe as a Christmas gift to myself. My current one is an EIE pro that came with my guitar second hand. The linux “driver” only sort of works.

And it’s not likely to be the last.

If you want to delay your switch to Linux, there are scripts to enroll in the ESU, but unfortunately the local account script stopped working on the one I used. Have not tested massgravel’s. Other options are to get Win 10 LTSC, or keep your system disconnected from the Internet.

An aside: My main desktop is Linux but I am currently trying Winboat to get the last piece of my hardware dependence off (my 20 year old DAC and rocksmith 2014) to work. Then, I can finally nuke Windows off of my secondary laptop because I’m sure as hell not giving it Win 11.

The penalty of doing it wrong needs to be higher than the cost of doing jt right.

I don’t get it? Why can’t car companies just release software updates that get deployed with the regular service interval, like once every year or two? That way the repair service or dealership will be close by if problems arise.

Hooray for cancer, asthma and bronchitis! Make America Healthy Again. Lung health is like Karate – black is the best!

We need a baguette stream to see if it lasts longer than Lecornu’s second tenure.

I will say your original comment does imply that Amazon was the same the level of rubbish the whole time, and it was merely the perception of it improving because of it becoming a fad. With all due respect to you, I think that is the point that is getting pushback from others. (Not to mention the ad hominem about sociopaths)

Intel: did I hear somebody say we should announce our newest 14nm+++++++++ platform?

If we want to use the Nazi bar analogy, Cloudflare is like a company that bought up so many bars in town that some end up not vetting for Nazism well enough, letting it slip through, not necessarily playing favours towards or against fascism but they would technically be a ‘Nazi bar’ under the analogy’s definition. Cloudflare is so big that they probably don’t have controlling interest about the pet projects they kick some pennies towards.

If you want to boycot Cloudflare itself, that’s fine and noble and all, but also staying away from anything they’ve ever donated to, you’ll put yourself in a bind. Like if Cloudflare donated to animal welfare, should one be against animal welfare simply due to second-order links to fascism?

Also there is a lot of reading into the comments used to link the two projects to the fascist regime. Very much a stretch.

Dan Supernault has been hard at work making an open source, AGPLv3, soon to be ActivityPub Fediverse-linked shortform video service called Loops.
