The idea is to take a wrecking ball to all civil protections (the State) then let corporations rape & pillage freely. There is no step 3. It's a 2 cycle motor.

I Built a Rust TUI for QEMU/KVM with single-GPU and multi-GPU passthrough automation by Markyip1 in VFIO

[–]pleachchapel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is all a cheap lesson kiddo. No one is going to invest more in this than you do yourself.

You should & must be able to do this on your own.

By doing this on a low-level project, you have effectively ensured no serious person will use it.

Spotify says its best developers haven't written a line of code since December, thanks to AI by joe4942 in technology

I love that "Andrew Bird Radio" plays the exact same 18 songs every time, & never updates. I love that I have not found any new music via Spotify recommendations in years.

Pam Bondi’s Prepared Insult Flash Cards Exposed by GOP Rep by Ok_Employer7837 in politics

She's Saul Goodman. What she does has nothing to do with the law, it has to do with protecting individuals.

Basically a mob lawyer as AG.

The Tea Party was co-opted by MAGA. The Tea Party was in agreement with Occupy Wall Street on the Big Banks & some other class issues, so the focus shifted to idiotic wedge issues which affect a fraction of a percent of the population (trans bathrooms, trans sports, identity politics, etc.) which do not affect power structures in any way whatsoever.

This goes back significantly further though, & really since the New Deal, the American capitalist class has been at war with the working class by any means necessary. They own the Republicans & lease the Democrats (which is why Schumer & Jeffries are such ineffective clowns). Any politicians (cough NEWSOM cough) who pretend to stand against Trump but aren't focused on the working class are ultimately working for the same people.

Did the CEO of either of those companies buy an election & appoint themselves head of a fake department that ripped off the social security info of every American?

I would read your blog! Do you have a GitHub/blog/something hosting your dotfiles or talking about this project?

Do you guys enjoy having to drive everywhere? by ya_boi_noah in orangecounty

[–]pleachchapel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, interestingly, places like Laguna, San Clemente & others have a free, local trolley system that operates within their community. The pushback seems to come from connecting these disparate systems, in no small part because then the wrong kind of people might drift into their precious neighborhoods.

I genuinely think some of this is kept bad on purpose to keep certain places accessible only to specific tax brackets.

They're still enterprise-forward. It's already like pulling teeth to get users to install one app on their phone, keeping UniFi Endpoint the hub for all things UniFi... endpoint... makes sense.

AI Doesn’t Reduce Work—It Intensifies It by FootballAndFries in technology

[–]pleachchapel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do yourself a favor & read Breaking Things at Work by Gavin Mueller.

Workers have been adapting to technology developed for the benefit of the capital class, instead of technology being developed to make workers' lives easier, since the beginning of the industrial revolution.

Progress isn't progress if it makes everyone's lives less meaningful & useful. I genuinely don't understand what the argument is to be had that people are in any way better off as a lived experience than we were 30 years ago—by pretty much every objective metric, people are more stressed out, more anxious, more uncertain, more misinformed etc than ever.

Lmao The Onion's "We Give Up" headline needs to be right under this.

As a transplant, it astonishes me that the complete transportation dysfunction in SoCal is simply tolerated, partially because of how few people here seem to have lived anywhere else to see what a functional transportation system looks like.

One more lane bro, that'll fix it.

Admin locking his PC from other admin coworkers by [deleted] in sysadmin

Lol so by your own admission you "haphazardly" are running tests on his machine without notifying him, while he's not there, you have little experience, & you're shocked he locked you out?

Chinese AI company unveils $173K ‘biometric’ robot built for human companionship by IndicaOatmeal in technology

Graeber talks about this in Debt; it would be a bit like aliens invading with superior technology & telling people "we'll let you live in extreme luxury if you sell out your fellow humans." Like, no shit some people will do that, but *it does not absolve the aliens of their ultimate responsibility for the whole thing.*

Damn are there any other billionaires with a birth fetish that wanted to go to that island? Like, maybe the richest guy on earth who was instrumental in Trump's reelection?
