  • Well, if your day is toast, burn it to make tomorrow awesome. Remember luck favors the prepared. So make a list of parts of your house to maintain or clean or stock up so that future plans have a few backups and already ready

  • Something about your description sounds right and wrong. US companies may do that, but what about "one click purchases" via google and amazon? Surely they saved the CVC and ali/sketchy site don't care as much about data breaches

  • Well, if you save your payment info on any site (especially sketchy ones) you can get a "you just bought with no returns" 3k$ worth of crappy Chinese phones delivered to your house that "you bought and got the goods, so it isn't aliexpress's fault no returns."

  • After 2 or 3 millennia (1,000 years) I would probably have to work hard to retain empathy for ephemeral life (finite in any form e.g. 100 years for humans). Perspective: I cried over a spider when I was small, but now will apply raid or another poison if a spider is in my house. I now consider moles, voles, and house cats who are allowed to exterminate birds (outside cats) to be worthy of population reduction tactics.

  • I'm imagin8ng a self dissecting discussion where topics are sorted into a table of contents at the top (highlighting opposing but reasoned viewpoints), and quality discussions can follow the fractal comment threads. If you know of this an6where, I want to know.

  • You say this as a joke, but it will not be business as usual. Trust is HUGE when it comes to investments. Without admin, trust goes down, investors become misers, total wealth decreases, and everyone will have the same credibility as a scammer on the phone talking about Nigerian princes etc. So it may not go to a barter economy, but several parts will stagnate because they can't trust investing in their own company's growth.

  • I bought the rii remote/controller/keyboard/mouse, a raspberry pi 4 8gb, a 4k micro HDMI, a rpi4 power cord, a 64gb micro SD card, rpi4 case with fan. I then attached it to my TV with some zip ties and a L brace

    • I installed rasbian 64bit.
    • I installed steam link (have to go to tty command line to have it work though because bullseye doesn't have previous buster driver support yet
    • I installed kodi > Plex addon
    • I installed kodi > YouTube addon
    • I installed kodi > jellyfin add-on with repository
    • I didn't trust the sketchy "add my repository to download and install". Disney plus on kodi, so I made a shortcut to the browser with that site
    • I made a shortcut to Netflix browser.

    It isn't the same as " any phone controls sound and playback" like a chromcast, but it is private and it is better than Chromecast (higher resolution and framerate, and streams/remotelycontrols local beefy gaming computers) in some ways.

    Do you know of a RPI app with a fdroid counterpart that allows clicks from a LAN smartphone?

  • Ehh, so a counterargument is we now have "control audits" aka soc1 type2 audits that test whether management fix their stuff without external eyes. That hasGREATLY increased the fidelity of all public companies. Yeah mistakes happen, but the controls get pretty robust after only a few years.

  • From a story from family: he failed the driving test. He went to go again and passed and in the waiting area there were people talking about a professional athelete that was indirectly "going to pass no matter what" so this relaxed standard applied for that entire day.

  • A drivers license is hard to get in Japan unless a rich bad driver is trying on the same day.

    The safety and inspections are at such a high standard that it is rare to see a car older than 10 years old on the road in Japan.

    Under heavy costs like this, sentiment in objects is one of the first things to go, so only the car otakus are emotionally attached to their cars

  • I said this in a different post's comments about Facebook scraping data:

    Can activity pub change it's terms to say that all crawlers that use this must be gnu open sources and all information crawled must be open to the public on gnu open sources software (no crawling to a private enterprise)?

    My understanding is all the big tech companies are scared of what happened with router software (openwrt) and they don't want to be forced to let competition be a foss community via gnu licensing.

  • Lol, I am the opposite.

    • Teams feels bloated and buggy.
    • Zoom is fast, can handle 100+ streams with ease, and allows mods/plugins to extend as far as you want, and
    • on zoom you can draw on the other person's screen while sharing.
    • On zoom, when a meeting starts I have a "incoming call sound" so I drop what I am doing and jump on the meeting. (I can't install on my work compy though... Sigh)

    Teams has not implemented those basic features.
