  • My line for computational adequacy was crossed with the Core2Duo. Any chip since has been fine for everyday administration or household use, and they are still fine running linux.

    Any Apple silicon including the M1 is now adequate even for high end production, setting a new low bar, and a new watershed.

  • Yeah way back I interviewed early auto worker labour activists and they all talked about how foremen would surprise inspect worker homes and schedule people based on asshole judgements or bribes. Just constant bullshit and meddling until unionization.

  • Anton Petrov is a solid science commentator. He mostly just reports and doesn't do much conjecture unless he's reporting on public discourse about the issue. He doesn't rely on charisma, slick production, or sensationalism, even if he has ti play the algorithm game. Examine his extensive channel on youtube.

  • You mean like SNW which is peppered with regular jokes about the captain's appearance, especially hair? Especially the musical episode where the Klingons aggressively sing and dance "why you only call me / when you got your problems". Took that one pretty far.

    • Tell me about some of your favourite people when you were a child.
    • Do you remember any interesting sounds from your youth?
    • What was it like learning english? How did you start?
    • What were your first impressions when arriving in the USA?

    These are all just conversation starters of course. You have to be ready to jump on the thread of a story she really wants to tell and pull on it to get more details and viewpoints.

    Using sensory anchors like sounds or smells will really get your questions closer to memory triggers. "What did your favourite bakery smell like?" And then stuff will come up, like shortages or foreign treats, and that’s maybe a good story to follow.

    Basically whenever possible, encourage her to "tell me about" life back then, and follow up with short questions asking for clarification or details.

  • I would like to believe people are poisoned and that excuses their idiocy, but approximately 15% of humans seem to be hardcore authoritarians by genetic lottery. They will believe that wealth and power are evidence of merit, no matter what. We just have to learn to work around that.

  • Thus our efforts to make social justice a core condition for profits: fuck people over and get a boycott or protests or a label in media as toxic, and lose customers.

    It's not going well, as a strategy. It requires an educated populace.

  • If you plan some violence and include jury nullification as some viable part of the plan, and publish that shit online, not only is it kind of useless and lousy opsec, but it will attract heat that is unwanted and unnecessary. It's literally a conspiracy to undermine nullification at that point, like a false flag. So no, don't do that, and I back the mods on this.
