Further evidence that a Republican government in the USA results in private organisations pushing the bar as far as they can.

In Reagan's time it was Wall Street. Now it's Silicon Valley.

You want private organisations working for your benefit and not that of their shareholders? You need a government that actually has the gumption to challenge them. The current US government is 4 years of a surrender flag flying on the white house.

Or we could bin off this fucking failed neoliberal experiment, but that's apparently a bit controversial for far too many people

Spotify is where less than a quarter of people listen to podcasts

Joe is only on Spotify

Edit: okay apparently in the past week or two he became non exclusive. Funny timing.

FWIW I think the underlying parts of the setup environment change with every version, there's just no need to port the modern UI toolkit when the Vista Aero Basic one does the job, and doesn't expect GPU drivers or anything like that.

I'm not even sure if the windows modern UI works at all without some level of GPU acceleration actually.

Are you watching it from a legitimate source? You could probably send an email if so, and have them fix it—most streaming services are at least trying to not alienate deaf audience members these days.

If you're watching a less than legitimate copy, get on opensubtitles and find some better ones, you probably just ended up with a bad fansub in this case.

Fuelling ego-jostling and in-fighting is pretty much the main approach any opposition has for limiting the effectiveness of this administration until the mid-terms. They don't seem especially concerned about following the law, after all.

If they're all singing from the same sheet, they will be ruthlessly efficient in their destruction. If they're busy sniping each other, they're not actively focused on harming people.

The statement "this [guy] thinks the government uses SQL" demonstrates a complete and total lack of knowledge as to what SQL even is. Every government on the planet makes extensive and well documented use of it.

The initial statement I believe is down to a combination of the above and also the lack of domain knowledge around social security. The primary key on the social security table would be a composite key of both the SSN and a date of birth—duplicates are expected of just parts of the key.

If he knew the domain, he would know this isn't an issue. If he knew the technology he would be able to see the constraint and following investigation, reach the conclusion that it's not an issue.

The man continues to be a malignant moron

Seemingly every interaction this man has with a normal person is him finding newer and more interesting ways of declaring himself an absolute moron.

How the fuck is he the de facto president of the USA?

Elon probably thinks

Not really sure he does, I think he's clearly paying others to do that for him

For some completely unrelated reason my brain previously interpreted the space as a comma

Which is still a silly dose but not quite at heroic levels

Fuck me

That's like half an ounce all at once

Not wasting time

The meaning of life is to enjoy it.

You do you fam, and keep doing it

The problem is you'd need to split it down to an amount that people would be happy hosting and then host it multiple times in case any node goes offline.

Another comment in the thread says it's likely over 100PB today (100,000 terabytes). I'd say 4 copies (spread over different time zones) is a relatively minimal level of redundancy (people may host on machines that aren't powered all the time), and I reckon you'd get a network with the most participants, whilst still getting enough storage, at around the 150gb per node mark.

That comes to nearly 3 million participants needed just to cover today's archive, new people will obviously need to join every day. Also given I imagine it would need to be open to all, the redundancy level could do with increasing to avoid malicious actors with a lot of resources taking on a lot of the network and forcing it all offline at once in an effort to cause data loss

Nothing here is insurmountable, but also not remotely easy

ActivityPub seems like the wrong tool for this job

You're more looking for a decentralised distributed file system/object store as the base for this.

And it's going to require a lot of participants in the network to get to the storage capacity and redundancy necessary for it to function well

No, their protest votes were not meaningless

They actively put trump in the whitehouse.

The American electoral system gives a voter the choice of potentially improving things (Dem) or actively making things worse (Rep). Given FPTP and the heavy use of propaganda, all other options (spoiling, abstaining, third party voting) equate to a republican vote, there is no other reality.

If an American did not vote Democrat in the election that just passed, they voted for complete ethnic cleansing of Gaza and the gutting of human rights in the USA—they didn't even try to hide what they were going to do this time. There is zero excuse.

Yes I'm sure the investigation will:

1. be prompt
2. be uncorrupted
3. have any consequence

I don't think I've ever seen Swedish fish outside of America

Somewhat telling the oldest person that would fall for his bullshit is barely adult

I mean, I don't think an advert needs to be illuminated at all, frankly
