They don't even have a Steve Mnuchin type character this time who at least has a clue about how things work. This time Trump surrounded himself with all of the dumbest and most loyal kool-aid drinkers.

at least he was trying to talk Netanyahu down and setup a peace deal.

This is fiction, considering all the materiel and money the US sent over. Joe Biden saw 40 beheaded babies. He's the only one who saw this. He also said, "I have no notion that the Palestinians are telling the truth about how many people are killed," directly downplaying the casualty numbers. Maybe you actually believed it every time Vedant Patel and Matt Miller lied about having difficult conversations with their Israeli counterparts?

thanks for choosing the worst timeline, directly or indirectly it doesn’t matter at this point.

Tell that to the DNC. I don't make these decisions. My state went for Harris. Putting aside the genocide, if you can possibly do such a thing, people's economic security got worse while Biden was president. Whether or not you can blame the president for this is beside the point, as we should all know by now that the president gets blamed regardless (particularly by well-funded reactionary media sources). That they couldn't counter this is, again, not my choice.

To the people who saw my post and downvoted: it was not my choice that the Democrats ran the senile walking dead genocidal maniac in 2024. Then when it became too obvious how senile he was and they couldn't lie about it anymore, they passed the torch directly to a woman who was so dogshit at campaigning that she had to drop out of the 2020 primaries before a single vote was even cast.

You could blame us for not putting up a more honest candidate there in the first place, but there isn't a structure in place to even allow such a thing to happen. Consider what happened to Bernie 2020, for example.

The opposition that 'wasn't "good" enough' was funding and supporting a genocide to the hilt. The USA is a fucked, evil state.

Preach!

When I was in unspecified foreign country I went to a graveyard with my family. It was very different in that the bodies were buried basically right next to each other and you basically just walk over the bodies of the interred to get to where you want to go.

It was a bit distinct from how we do it in America where, much like our suburban houses, you have to have a pointless giant green lawn surrounding where the body is buried.

Just yesterday I asked Llama 3.3 70B params how to do something. I was pretty sure it wouldn't be able to tell me the right command to run because I knew beforehand I was asking it something really obscure about how to use tar. I gave it all the relevant details. Imagine my surprise when it... told me the blatantly wrong thing. It even invented useless ways of running the command incorrectly.

The fact that it was made into a movie as well…

It might not be a valid excuse, but it gets that kind of play in the press (and, therefore, public opinion/support) as discussed in this Citations Needed podcast episode A.I. Mysticism as Responsibility-Evasion PR Tactic

good ep of a good pod

Employees should start setting up an AI to prove it can do Tobi Lutke's extremely difficult job of making a small number of important decisions every once in a while.

Can't help but think of this book wrt your comment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_and_the_Holocaust

Hey, when's the last time you showed remorse to your multi-trillion market cap employer? Next you're gonna tell me something really outrageous like you didn't even swear an oath of fealty to them.

The URL you shared has an unnecessary user tracker in it and can be shortened to https://www.threads.net/@wongmjane/post/DIFF_P3B9u2

You should just maintain awareness of how much you're using. I think 32gb ram + 32gb swap is ridiculous, frankly. Fedora by default sets zram up to 8gb, with no other swap space configured. Works very well that way.

Personally I'd also probably not ever set up more than 16gb of swap space. If I'm somehow hitting that limit it's because I actually just need to buy more RAM.

Thanks. I've never used or recommended Telegram since Signal appears to be the obvious answer, though at least unlike Signal they actually take ownership and publish their own app themselves to places like Flatpak and provide aarch64 builds. Been waiting for Signal to do this for... forever.

Sadly, for many, participation ends at the ballot box. I'm sorry to say that I was that way before, too.

At this rate it seems like I will also never be upgrading from the 1070. Miners, NFTs, supply chain, AI, tariffs... how is an honest guy supposed to just buy a decent GPU when squeezed between all that bs?

Pavel Durov doesn't live in Russia, so I don't see this insinuation has to do with anything.

I really began to understand MLK Jr's line "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" in the past few years. For every injustice allowed (in fact, oftentimes rooted for) we are saying that it will actually be OK to do that elsewhere. Eventually the justification will be OK.

In the USA we said surveillance was OK. Just use it to profile "terrorists" in the so-called war on terror. Use it to profile everyone who appears at the border. Use it to profile every Palestinian in Gaza. Use it to only profile gang members and "criminals." Use it to clandestinely surveil every phone call. Finally, stop pretending: use it to surveil everybody.

How many databases is my face in just because I flew back home from out of the country a few months ago?
