I learned about factory farming from a parody video called The Meatrix: https://youtu.be/u4_pzPrMTrs

Is this just lack of dedicated GPU on mobile?

Didn’t know that was a cover, but also recently found out that Ghost of Tom Joad was a cover too. That’s the one I came to post.

Seriously my house has 60 outlets and switches like that and they are all being replaced.

This is why I avoid Bluesky

Zelda BOTW knows when you’re climbing a big cliff and it’s more likely to rain.

My wife leaves lights on all the time. I gave up and just put in smart plugs and lights so I don’t have to get up and turn them off.

Typically I prefer plugs, but with things like a nightstand lamp that has USB charging ports on it, I don’t want to turn off the whole device, so I use smart light bulbs.

The only smart appliance that I’ve found useful is the oven. If my wife leaves it on I can turn it off from my phone.

Is it because Netgear is a “US” company? Meaning they are on the US stock exchange, have corporate offices in the US, and manufacture everything in Asia?

Maybe not, I don’t know how much he makes, there’s a lot I’d put up with if it could mean early retirement. If he’s really making 2.8m in two years then that’s a mil after taxes and there’s no reason he couldn’t retire at 40 and live a more modest lifestyle. Could be worth it.

Yeah seems kind of whiny since he’s super successful and was probably already well-off, but on the other hand…

I’m kind of tired of hearing that my nieces and nephews have no career goals other than to be a “content creator”.

Maybe if more people were honest about what it takes and how the social media companies have started to squeeze creators then kids would aspire to get real jobs.

Yeah, it’s not a trivial problem to solve either, especially if platforms censor mentions of decentralized alternatives.

However, it’s hard for the oligarchs to censor the fact that an organization like EFF exists, and hopefully someone clicks on one of their posts and reads something on their blog about decentralized alternatives.

There are a lot of tricks for peeling boiled eggs, but fresh eggs from a chicken coop in your yard are a different ballgame.

Yeah, he seems to think that the over-moderation is a good thing, and Cindy tries to convince him that censorship is bad and the answer instead is more like what you can do with the Fediverse, you can move servers if you don’t like how the server is moderated and who they federate with, but people are free to say what they want in their servers.

Do you blow a trumpet with your nose?

I guess the ever clear kills the tapeworms and ecoli?

And going to a Trump rally at the height of Covid

Depends on whether or not the Dow is over 50k

I think it’s for rough terrain, like carrying packs of supplies through war zones. So not full climbing but at least able to step over rocks and debris.

Both IBM and Oracle I haven’t really worked with because they’re heavily used by massive companies. We had an Oracle database when I was in banking that was because we were self hosting a loan accounting system. IBM does backend data processing stuff for massive companies like American Express and Bank of America. All of the smaller shops I’ve worked in have built things on Microsoft’s stack.

It’s more that local authorities are offering incentives to big tech to bring in those data centers, ostensibly because they think it will benefit the area, but more likely because it is benefitting the local authorities personally through kickbacks or campaign donations.
