  • Spring can't come soon enough. These kids yearn for the parks.

  • It wasn't about that, but the horrors of what Sinclair describes in the book forced the federal government to implement regulations. Sinclair describes men working in tank rooms with steaming, open vats at floor level. He writes that when workers fell in, they would sometimes be overlooked for days, and "all but the bones of them had gone out to the world as Durham's Pure Leaf Lard".

    He describes work floors soaked in blood (both animal and human), mucus, piss, and shit, dead rats, and rat poison, all be swept into the vats and food processing machines.

    It turned peoples stomachs. The outcry was so intense it forced President Theodore Roosevelt to pass the Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act of 1906.

    But that was not the goal of the book. Sinclair hoped to awaken people to the idea that Socialism was the only answer for the conditions described in the book.

  • It was odd stuff like wanting to put the working folder and the openclaw folder in /root/ instead of my home Dir. But trying to use my home Dir it ran into permission issues making the folders. I had to edit the docker-setup.sh script a number of timed to get it working but eventually had a weird token mismatch issues trying to approve my device. I could just turn that all off I guess but I had already spent way to long getting it to that point.

  • I tried getting the docker setup for openclaw running today and it just would not work. Endless permission issues it would seem. Im curious about it, but not curious enough to let it run outside of a sandbox.

  • I came here to say this. It's even clear in the movies that's the case for the libs who can't read.

  • I don't believe that for a second. I know of navy guys to flush their own underwear down the toilets on boats to avoid getting their labeled skidmarked underwear sent through the wash. Far as I can tell there was no source on that story, and video of overflowing toilets turned out to be 2006 Instagram video of terrestrial toilets, not from a boat. That doesn't disprove the clogged pipes story but it really undercuts the whole thing.

    The clogged pipe story itself was from more legitimate Western news sources and it's far more likely that this was because of mechanical failure and some other kind of incident on the boat like a lack of toiletries or something like that. Not some sort of planned or spontaneous mutiny.

  • Navy mutiny? What do you mean?

  • How did you get this picture of me wtf

  • This stuff is wild. I saw a video a few months ago where they used this tech to build devices that could push to talk (via a mumble server hosted on the mesh network) do live geo location, live video feeds, across multiple devices.

    A team of people could build a mesh network that provides all those comms and situational and tactical information with consumer hardware for like $100 and it's all off grid and the more devices you add the more resilient and reliable the network becomes.

    Here's the video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ofR7GFNZzJY

    Lots of interesting applications for this stuff.

  • Piefed is the gift that keeps on giving.

  • God I love Lemmy and the centrists who use it. This endless supply of tears sustains me.

  • No they are basically evil. But they are also "cool". Force Choke, Force Lightning, the Jedi don't do that stuff. They have Darth Maul who might as well just be a demon visually.

    I can't tell you why people are into it. How old is this person? Might tell you more then anything else.

  • reconciliation app, are you saying that this app could do the same thing?

    Maybe. It is out of scope for sure. I mentioned it only because this app reminded me of that one. It solved a real problem that can come up in groups.

    We used to use it as a way to track when someone covered a friends meal when eating out. Eventually we would all owe each other a meal which effectively zeroed out the debt. Then we didn't have to make needless exchanges among each other as the app could shuffle or simplify the debt across the group.

    It's a different issue but one I could imagine coming up in a mutual aid setting.

  • Having a system to mark things as borrowed or in-use would be good. I like the idea for a requests board as well. Looking for lawn mower type stuff.

    People might want to know if the thing needs to be transported and who will do that. Transport by Owner / Transport by Borrower type status.

    I remember using an app way back when called Bill Monk which was basically a reconciliation app. Like, Bob owes Bill $10 but Bill owes Frank $20 and Frank owes Bob $15, it effectively helped settle up peoples balance. In this case, I think the simplest settlement would be for Bill to pay Bob and Frank $5 as that would break everyone even. There are a lot of ways to solve that problem.

    Typically it was used to settle up if people paid for others at a dinner or some such.

    Might be outside the scope of the project but could be an interesting thing to play around with.
