The southern strategy was most honed by Bill Clinton. He, (and Hillary) were absolute ninjas with the southern strategy. “Super predator” anyone? Nixon and Reagan told people what they wanted to hear. Clinton’s politics swung a scythe through communities of color and incarcerated people en masse. Just look at the actual numbers. This is not a soapbox, it’s a history lesson. And you know was right there by his side? Blue dog Joe Biden and prosecutor Kamala Harris.
Buddy. I am running a seven camera Frigate system with a Thinkpad X230t (2012). That is the ultimate thicc-pad with a chunky rotatable,foldable touchscreen, from 2012. Obsolete, but not on eBay, Google tpu USB dongle. Total system cost to me <$300 bucks. Oh, yeah I forgot to mention it runs my Home Assistant, Lyryion music server and Tailscale. I have a sneaky suspicion that thing is going to last for a couple more decades. It is Military grade hardware. Look it up. And if you walk into my kitchen. There’s a HA dashboard and control pane on it. It’s a touchscreen after all. You can even click the stylus/pen out of the side if your hands are greasy. There’s a recipes navigator/editor (Zim wiki) on the desktop. I don’t know. I personally think it is as stylish of a kitchen appliance as you can find. I guess it depends on your sensibilities.
I’m already sick of all the back slapping. This is the first time I ever thought of these words. But, really, it’s “thank you Trump”. Now get something done Democrats. Focus on shit that will come to fruition in two years. And don’t make it “we’re going to cut everyone a check”. And don’t make it an endless slog subpoenas and grandstanding. I’ve got a suggestion: breakup SpaceX and nationalize Starlink. They’ve already proved they are a national security threat.
I am a hard worker and workaholic. Is it just me or does Claude try talking you out of doing stuff? It will be like 10am and Claude/opus will try this: "great session , you deserve some rest, go enjoy your family and we’ll come back to it tomorrow, have a good night Wut?
Correct. I got banned for repping guillotines as a solution to Americas problems, and then doubling down. That “this account has been banned” banner has been a point of pride for me. I joined reddit in 2009. For so many years I answered questions and commented all day long. In certain subs I was a major contributor. I switched phones and now can’t even log in without an app. I will not be downloading that app. Goodbye Felicia good luck with your bots
The money is denominated dollars or other currencies. So if you get say 2.9 percent, but actual inflation is at a much higher rate, 7 percent, you are losing money. You can buy much less stuff than you could have before you put it in there.
Most Americans have a log in with at least 10 options they can choose. I dare say nearly all do.
Everybody who doesn’t live forever “times the market”. Your not describing discipline, you’re describing FOMO. If you believe the AI Bubble premise, and you had discipline you’d keep a lot of cash. Like Berkshire does these days. I call that “timing the market”.
Everyone of these folks can move full allocation to various options like money market or bonds, or international growth, etc. and they should. Oh and after the bailout begins, get out of that money market, because it will be the toilet paper market then.
Am I a conspiracy theorist here? MS was just one vote of many parties creating UEFI? They, as dedicated, equal stakeholders were committed to the idea that any abstraction, complexity, or cost of integration of the technology must only be created for the sole purpose of empowering the hardware owner to have a more secure device?
Is he cooked? Is he even in custody?
Sure. You’ll get no objections from me.
Is it really ironic though? Personally, I never believed UEFI’s primary purpose had anything to do with security. “Linux is a cancer”, remember?
“Defense” Contractor? The 20th Century called, they want their “Woke” terminology back. These guys contract with “The department of War” now.
Agreed. But Fyi, I’m not a home user, I own a small business.We have to train employees on Collabpra and other open source tools. Its not that hard. We have tons of collaborative, shared documents that our clients interact with. Cybersecurity is a thing, but its not all that difficult to not be slave, or involuntary contributor to the dark side.live by your principles or capitulate. I know which choice I’ll make. I also know that 90+% of people wouldn’t even consider the extra burden of defining, much less living on principles. That’s so sad.
What a bunch of weak ass removed. I did it a few years ago. I’m on Nextcloud and collabora. I spend a lot of my life in spreadsheets. In their defense, collabora’s choices when it comes to key commands and defaults could not possibly be more stupid. For example, if you are pasting something into a spreadsheet, only a clown would think the default should be paste with formatting? At least give us a “ctl-shift-V” or something like that. So stupid. Just mimic google sheets and be done with it.
If we were in the same room and I shared my experience on any given topic, would you just outright demand that I “shut up”? I’ve hardly spoken like that to anyone in my life and I guess I’m much older than you. I like to think that you had too much to drink when you replied to my comment with “Oh Shut up”. If you just had the time, energy and clarity you’d probably make a great, persuasive argument that I would have no choice but to consider and probably even integrate into my perspective. Here’s to you gaining that time, energy and clarity.
No thank you
There’s a flip side to this. I am persistent. But busy, and a realist. Since AI, I have been able to accomplish things I always wanted and planned to, but never got done before. I’ve been wanting a contractor’s license to expand my business. But I’m busy. AI is the tutor that helped me get it done. I’ve been loving Linux and open source, had a handful of raspberry Pi projects, but was never quite confident enough to go full on self hosted. Thanks to AI, I am fully self hosted and loving it. Also, I own a service business, time is money. Guess who has more time since AI? Define persistence in the context of my experience with AI. Put in other synonymous terms, am I faltering, yielding, “going fallow”, atrophying? I don’t think so.
