  • No plans filed for Trump’s new ballroom despite demolition being under way

  • The most unbelievable part of that entire film is that President Dwayne Elizondo Mountian Dew Herbert Camacho didnt take credit for solving the crisis at the end of the movie.

  • Fair, plus the law never looked kindly on it. Just because you would get dressed up to shoot at some one does not mean you didnt shoot someone.

  • Back in the day, honor was a more tangible thing. People with beef would shoot at each other with smooth bore pistols. The point was they were wildly inaccurate and most people would stand their ground and walk away, honor intact. That isnt a thing in [checks year]... Guns are far too accurate, swords are very out of fashion, and Chess-Boxing never really took off. There does not appear to be a modern evolution of that tradition and I feel like society would do well to find something to fill that void (without the lethality... obviously... but that was partially the point back then).

            The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.
    To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.
    To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

  • The AWS outage hit us during the day in Australia. I didn't notice because I run my own server, btw

  • VLAN setting are probably your best bet to prevent communication with your normal devices and lock the IOT devices off in their own section of the network where they cant snoop around. Same goes for Wi-Fi, make a new SSID for just IOT stuff and let them only see themselves and the default gateway.

  • Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC

    Jump

  • Yah... You dont own your OS on W11, you had better script those changes or they might be reverted on major updates. (They do that for the default browser all the time, and they will likely break that script every year or two)

    This is why the [gestures broadly to Lemmy community] evangalizes for Linux so much, everyone is going have to learn a new OS anyway. Aside from what ever Apple is doing, there really are only two choices, a free and open source suite of software that is trusted because everything is public and auditable, or an OS that activly contributes to the creation of the Torment Nexus. We do get that some applications wont work on linux, but my response to that is to look for a new version anyway, your living on borrowed time. Windows 11 is rolling full speed ahead on breaking compatibility with everything Microsoft did not make (and therefore cant update to collect data on you).

  • We are in the "telling the public what evidence they have will alert the perps" phase, only wild media speculation until the investigators are done doing their thing.

    I look forward to Internet Historian doing one of his stock image gilliamation videos about this.

    IDK, but I like what ever Norway is smoking.

  • [puts hand on sholder] They arn't *intelligence enough to realise that it's bullshit and that nowadays it's all about money. * Managers specificly are paid to drink the coolaid, unless your being hired by a triple threat (can do the job, manage people, and spin it all for managment above them) your going to be stuck working for some peter principal shmuck who is probably good enough at one of those things.

    Not to be too pesimistic but your job is to blow smoke, unless your working for yourself or you managed to find one of those unicorn bosses. In the latter case, do what you can to be along for their ride.

  • An exclusive, members only restaurant with a limited menu. Some people pay top dollar for that

  • Plus they have a club card (because I sure as hell dont).

  • Do not break the weekend safety brief.

    • Do NOT add to the population.
    • Do NOT subtract from the population
    • Do NOT end up in the newspaper, hospital or jail.
      • IF you do end up in jail, establish dominance quickly.

  • Exactly, there was a social contract where we would exchange watching ads for consuming the following product without additional charges. Those days are mostly gone and you have to pay to get in the door, watch and ad and the product has enshitifies to the point of usually not being worth it. Ad block and cable cutting has been a method to claw that back to a fairer exchangr, or atleast give the consumer some negotiation power in that dynamic. However its just created a game of cat and mosue between those who wish to consume your attention and people who dont want sponsored shit beamed into their brain space.

    <3 love our friends from the land down under, that history bit is just so funny.

  • I raise thee...

    Wowhead

    I had a friend involved in the hunt for this... Was a sight to behold and the look of disbelief when the devs called them on their obsession.

  • Do you spend more time on lemmy than you did on reddit?

    Jump

  • Actually less and for a good reason, the doom scroll is not endless.

    We have a fraction of the population and a few good posts and discussions on the places I have not blocked. Over all its a lot healthier and I still get my fix of feeling informed-ish. Also Jeboa does not display total votes an account gets meaning there is no "must have X karma to ride" pages that, while attempting to remove bots (it didnt), fills a room with crowd pleasers instead of those seeking discussion or answers.

  • Framework supporting far-right racists?

    Jump

  • How is this different from the Lemmy devs, who are known to be pretty political? I was under the impression we were mostly fine seperating the program from the programmer, or is this situation different?
