For me personally, it was easier to just write a few python scripts to parse the CSV files from my banks.

I switched over to this last month, and I'm already a fan of it. It did take a bit of time to port over my old shtitty excel tracking, and to write a few python scripts to parse the export CSV files from each of my bank accounts, but it is very clearly worth it.

One of the nice things is that it uses a SQLite db to store everything, so if shit ever hits the fan with one of my drives or the software, it isn't the end of the world.

You can self host it so you can access it over the web, or you can choose to run it entirely locally. It's pretty nifty, and I've elected to using it for the second option.

I'm not sure of the volume of that system, how to get it. But I wonder if man made strip mines like these would compare:

They go on for miles, are huge, and theoretically could go on for basically forever.

Probably not for a few decades at least. It's only when today's college aged people take power that it'll get labeled as such. And even then, it's not a guarantee.

I prefer companies owned by many people over one person or family owning the company.

Agreed, which is why the stock market needs to go. The only way for labor to truly own their workplace is if they're the only ones who can control it (within reason). A stock market allows for the rich to single-handedly buy up a majority of the shares and control a company.

Instead, every company should eventually be turned into co-op nonprofits.

because it would just be to hard to make money at some point that we would want to titrate to make sure no company becomes a monopoly.

Sure, however having multiple avenues of preventing megacorps from forming is better. It's easy for a powerful corp to undo one or two regulations, but not so much if it is a cohesive system of regulations.

Honestly I think we should outlaw holding companies and such.

Absolutely agreed.

Only allow stock to be owned individually by individuals.

I'd say we should go a step further and kill the stock market in it's entirety through a moratorium on IPOs.

We can absolutely do both, and more.

Here me out, the biggest X companies should automatically be split on a yearly basis, with a ban on company mergers.

Ignoring the myriad of other issues listed in this thread, the bit about training AI is pretty misleading. It's not hard to scrape webpages for whatever kind of data you like, even if loops doesn't outright hand things over for third parties for that purpose.

And the kind of people who are downloading the entire internet to train AIs are the type to be willing to just scrape without permission.

Tree Style Tab which I cannot live without. Firefox having something like that by default instead of an extension would be nice.

Been using TST for a while now, and I whole heartedly agree. Given that it's essentially just some CSS, I can't imagine that it would be difficult at all to support natively.

And how did we connect that, and rule out other things?

Are you seriously trying to compare the 2?

You're a fool if you think that the lives of queer people aren't in danger from GOP policy.

Having concern isn't the same thing as comparison, or even statement of equality. Quit assuming bullshit.

Get this, we can fight for more than one thing at a time, even if certain things have higher priority.

Queer lives are at stake too, and it isn't just about living.

OP post is concerned about LGBTQ rights

Which they should be, because they are being threatened.

we are not under threat of life.

This isn't true, and is a moving the goalposts fallacy.

I wonder what the chances are of him living just long enough to see Harris inaugurated before his rotted brain gives out on him.

a person either is concerned about all human rights or they’re concerned about none.

'Very all lives matter of you.'

Yeah, this place is a very

Not really.

You're not being creative enough. You could have a bowl/cup of grapes, and use that. Or maybe alternatively you could blend/mash them up, let them dry out a bit to stiffen up, then use that.
