It’s already a thing: rentahuman.ai

I would wonder if it would be illegal to promote your live of the country by hanging a giant flag directly in the viewing path of the camera. Would you get arrested for being too patriotic?

This is too defeatist for me. I am upset to see these all over town, but too small minded to do anything about it. I want to start something to pressure community leaders to change, but i worry that i’ll make a lot of noise then drop it like i do with everything. I’d love to join with a group.

The minnesota attorney(ies) isn’t pressing charges because they are derelict in their duty

This then becomes a voter issue to install someone who will represent the people. Alternatively, protests to hold elected officials accountable to their duties or promises.

democrats do that with every issue opposed by powerful interests they promised to do something about, they make a performative gesture, get stopped, then say well I tried

I’ve seen this far too many times. Again, holding elected officials accountable may be the only way.

I remember the “have fun with that” quote. It was oddly smug and childish, which is why it stuck out.

Perhaps it’s naive of me to think so, but I read that the Minnesota District Attorney is deliberately not pressing charges (at least for the 2 murders) until the chance of a presidental pardon is nil.

I read a speculation somewhere that DHS want to declare all opposition to their activities as domestic terrorists and then remove their right to vote. There have been multiple articles detailing how the people who follow agents around and report their location are served papers later declaring them to be domestic terrorists and then they are placed on a no fly list. I’m sure more is to come. Reportedly, all the agents use facial recognition cameras to sweep the crowds for logging in a database, but another report suggests that the recognition part isn’t working so well.

You could be right, but I read an opinion piece a while back that suggested that removal of 230 would allow the government to indirectly censor speech online by selectively punishing the platforms that don’t moderate in the way that the administration would like. This may not be a problem under the current administration, but what if a wanabe dictator were to somehow become president?

I have something similar to host paths with node selectors: an NFS provisioner for PVs. The provisioner is tied to the node with the large disk. It’s not resilient to node outages, but allows me to spread pods across the nodes. For my deployments, I’m preferring to use S3 storage wherever possible.

Excellent write-up. I had Nextcloud running on K3s with its files on a NAS which were shared with Minio and it worked well. I’m looking into Longhorn, but only have 2 nodes and it wants at least 3. I’m reevaluating my resiliency needs in favour of simplification.

I’ve been looking to do this, but haven’t found a good, easy to use pull thru proxy for docker, ghcr.io and some other registries. Most support docker only.

This one looks promising but overly complicated to set up.

A few times now, I’ve gone to restart a container and the repo’s been moved, archived or paywalled. Other times, I’m running a few versions behind and the maintainer decided to not support it, but upgrading would mean a complete overhaul of my Helm values file. Ugh!

I was considering a docker registry on separate ports for each upstream registry I’d like to proxy/cache.

I read an opinion piece that suggested that he is upset that Minnesota is the only blue state in a region of red. Given that Minnesota is primarily white, he felt that he could use the Somali fraud as a way to turn [white] people against the democrats using xenophobia.

Edit: I found the article.

I think they prefer to be called Native United States of Americans.

(This is a bad joke, playing on the original topic, don’t hate me)

Generally speaking, I’ve found that the techie forums are pretty healthy but the normie ones tend to be lacking in content.

I have 3 cordless drills and 1 corded. Every time I need to use one, the cordless ones are out of batteries despite charging them before putting them away. The battery pack is stored for a couple of months between projects. These are the second set of batteries and they weren’t cheap.

Oh, and I’m cursed for batteries. I’ve had two instances of a brand new car battery failing after a few months due to fused plates. The mechanic says that it never happens.

I’d love to get an electric car, but feel that that would be tempting fate.

I’m self hosting to learn. I’ve been hacked before and I lost stuff and then I refined my technique and started over again. Nothing I do is “mission critical”, so I now have the mindset that it will fail, I will lose data and time and I will get hacked. Honestly, it’s helped me to be better at home and at my workplace to have this mindset. Always plan for failure (and keep backups).

Not 75%, just 3.5% is needed (probably).

You have a lot of good points and I may have missed the intent of the article, but a knee jerk reaction of “lower traffic = AI is bad” is not helpful either. My point is that I frequently find myself hitting a page just to check a reference, quote or remember something. AI search results can be useful here. It’s no different than how DuckDugkGo has a sidebar if the results are from StackOverflow. It’s nice to get quick answers. I would like to see a fair solution to the content creators being able to stay in business.

This will be unpopular, but hear me out. Maybe the decline in visitors is only a decline in the folks who are simply looking for a specific word or name and the forgot. Like, that one guy who believed in the survival of the fittest. Um. Let me try to remember. I think he had an epic beard. Ah! Darwin! I just needed a reminder, I didn’t want to read the entire article on him because I did that years ago.

Look at your own behaviors on lemmy. How often do you click/tap through to the complete article? What if it’s just a headline? What if it’s the whole article pasted into the body of the post? Click bait headlines are almost universally hated, but it’s a desperate attempt to drive traffic to the site. Sometimes all you need is the article synopsis. Soccer team A beats team B in overtime. Great, that’s all I need to know…unless I have a fantasy team.

You just described most tech stocks.

As Cory Doctrow explains:

the fundamental duty of every CEO of every high-growth tech company: explaining how his company will continue to grow. These growth stories are key, because growth stocks trade at a huge premium relative to the stocks of “mature” companies.

This contradicts what I’m reading in that AI model costs grow with each generation, not shrink.
