No, this is the capitalist trying to convince customers (investors) that they have more capital than the other capitalists. Nothing about this has anything to do with workers.

Neither. Version control and remote sync to your self hosted gitlab or gitea, or whatever (or no remote at all if you wanna go gambling with your hard drive).

AI, crypto, just like .com, are very much very real, valuable technologies that have and will continue to stick around and be used until we destroy ourselves, or something even more advanced comes along.

What was/is a grift, is all the stupid money and people around it that don’t have a damn clue where the limits of the technologies actually lie, what kinds of real problems are solved and have been sold lies stop lies without doing their due diligence.

I don’t think you understand what being squeezed is like. There is no fighting back when you have no options.

Hell nah. I don’t give a damn about your up votes, down votes, replies. Hell I don’t even look at my inbox and I’ll be damned if I will end up back in this thread.

I’m just here for the occasional meme and maybe get a bit of news, and I’m all out of good news.

Commuting to office (by car) daily is the real problem. Road trips by car are incredibly freeing and not miserable.

No ,no, the letter specifically singles out motor vehicles. Burning gas is the point. This letter has nothing to do with transporting people.

People want news. It’s a need as primitive as gossip. In fact, gossip is probably the answer to your question. But gossip is neither fast nor reliable, so people will inevitably invent news organizations to satisfy the need, as much as we have invented agriculture to satisfy our need to eat.

Perhaps when you say “news organizations” you intend a much more narrow definition, like maybe a “privately owned news organization”? That’s a dramatically different question though.

An AI message for dating? Have people just given up on living?

Congrats on your five and a half twins.

A broken clock is right twice a day. Inventions are only good when they reliably work for all the intended solutions.

The good news is the first few pounds are the easiest to lose.

The bad news is that you will not see a meaningful difference in just a week, or even one month, not enough to be the only thing keeping you motivated, at least. Depending on what you are after, caloric weight-loss might not even be enough to reach a very specific look, though it will go a long way.

My advice to you: find a way to stay motivated that is not based on results. This needs to be a new mindset, a journey you are undergoing. You’ll need a sizable adjustment to your routine. Find a laborious project you are excited about to keep you off the couch and on your feet.

Most importantly, realize that weight loss is almost all about what you eat. It’s very hard to go on a caloric deficit just by exercising, because a) exercising will make you more hungry, b) will convert fat to muscle which is heavier (though leaner), and c) it’s a LOT more work and time. Instead, physical activity is more of a way of attaining a deficit without an extremely boring diet of lettuce and it also takes away opportunities to eat out of boredom.

You’ll feel more hungry than you are used to, especially in the first couple of weeks as your body learns a new metabolic normal. Drink lots of water to both stay hydrated, and to feel full.

Surely the SVGO package can be compiled into a browser bundle.

I might look into this myself…

Does this support SVG, i.e. SVGOMG/SVGO? If not, that’s a glaring omission.

Horses can go places cars cannot. You have completely missed the point.

The US cutting off the rest of the world first does the exact opposite of this. No matter how big the US is, there’s not a chance in hell the US can both compete with China and antagonize the rest of the world at the same time. This is pure fantasy.

Been on Lemmy from Reddit for over a year. Really don’t miss it, except for a few niche communities.

Maybe keep your shitty politics out of your shitty product next time, and then you won’t face political consequences.

US policy doesn’t get to dictate how websites operate in non US jurisdiction. The US acting like it gets to bully the rest world into doing whatever it wants is the whole issue at hand. That’s the point: the trump admin wants to use US influence to intimidate, bully, and antagonize other countries by disrespecting their sovereignty.

Yes, but also no. Older hardware is less power efficient, which is a cost in its own right, but also decreases backup runtime during power failure, and generates more noise and heat. It also lacks modern accelerated computing, like ai cores or hardware video encoders or decoders, if you are running those appd. Not to mention lack of nvme support, or a good NIC.

For me a good compromise is to recycle hardware upgrades every 4-5 years. A 19 year old computer? I would not bother.
