Imagine everything humans could accomplish if we were not a commerce based civilization.
as already mentioned, ampersand allows you to "background" a task. but if you'd like the output from your program alongside the loop monitoring system info, consider using a terminal multiplexer like tmux.
on the terminal, this will let you open a "split screen" pane with another shell. you can use hotkeys to create, destroy, or move between views.
another state
which one? if not Oregon where I live, maybe another user from your target state can see this and offer some more local labor guidance.
a big part of success is luck. sucks. but it means opportunity can come from unexpected places.
oh no
it's me
i'm the naked window neighbor
i'm naked sitting on the edge of my bed right now after my shower. my bedroom window, right across from me, is open for fresh air.
look, it's my own bedroom. the breeze is really nice. maybe don't look in my windows? it's not like i'm trying to give anyone a show, it's just one of those things in life, like how guys all get naked together in a locker room without acknowledging it, or how airport security people fondle you angrily in ways not ordinarily permitted in polite society and nobody needs to bring it up after. you don't have to look, is what i'm saying. sorry if you can't help it. let's just move on!
oh no
how did you find me
fuck. here we go.
you think this money to help them retire is coming from the government? no. lol.
It's coming from us. filial responsibility laws are already on the books. if you can't fund your own retirement, get it from your kids before you're allowed to get anything from the state.
your boomer parents will reverse mortgage their house, liquidate everything, then come for your paychecks like child support, until you're tapped out permanently. they won't do it maliciously, not directly, they'll do it because it's a "requirement" of properly retiring. sorry hun, it's the law, I wouldn't if I didn't have to!
they'll drain you and keep you drained until they die. if we're lucky, the state then won't turn around and suck the state-paid care debts out of you as unfurnished filial debts.
it is. you're correct.
us Americans, we seem to like to swerve deftly around many such useful civil universalities.
things you'd assume are vital to a peaceful, comfortable, safe people are often things that seem to baffle us.
i think this repeated swerving should disabuse anyone of any notion of the USA being a civilized nation, but somehow people keep classifying us as better than we are. lived here my whole life... not sure how someone could make that mistake, honestly. not unless they were really rich, I guess.
This is the same answer always given by every sell-out right before they sell out their users/customers, and it always collapses into a silent capitulation to enshittification not long thereafter.
To customers/users of a product or service, IPO should mean only one thing: Last call; FLEE NOW!
I've prepared for you a comprehensive list, here:
you don't see a tool being too simple for the problem at hand to be a problem in tool selection? that's also crazy.
It's win/win for him. Either he shows how he can't be controlled which riles up his supporters, or he can turn consequences around as evidence of the "corrupt Biden deep state" or something and get massive fundraising income and maybe convince some of his followers to launch terrorist attacks. This judge is having to weigh possible domestic terror retaliation against keeping his courtroom orderly.
no... no! Don't remind me of Outlaw Star!
I'll need to watch it again! It's been so very long. It is such a core part of my aesthetic & genre preferences since I first saw it as a teenager, but I haven't seen it in a good while.
They let me avoid human interaction if I choose
I used to like them for this at least, but now my local store has someone come talk to you and do the whole "did you find everything OK?" and loyalty card conversation while the other machines in the background need their attention and people are getting impatient. if you have headphones in they'll literally just keep trying and wait until you remove them to say "yep, nope, no thank you, don't need the pamphlet, thanks, nope, yep all good".
I avoid them entirely now, there's no value and only drawbacks. I'll wait in the long human checker line as long as I need. the human doesn't stop scanning randomly half way through the slow scan, bag, wait loop and start emitting loud alarm noises for an employee to come over (sometime in the next 10 minutes) and be forced to review a video of your whole self-checkout process titled "CHECK THOROUGHLY FOR THEFT" before they can unlock the machine and stop the alarm.
the cutest character on ST:D is also the cutest character on the fediverse. who'd have thought!
wish I could pair a PS5 controller.
You can! I use a Mayflash Magic-NS for this. I got a few and plugged them into a USB hub on my dock and my friends have been able to use their own comfortable controllers they use for their pc games on my switch. been a big hit for smash bros. ps4/ps5 controllers support gyro inputs fine too. you can even configure it to switch button orders/layouts and stuff for you so you don't get xbox/nintendo xyab/yxba glyph/button conflicts, if you need. big fan of them overall. they work on other systems and controllers too, you can pair joycons to your PC with it (shows up as Xbox controller), they're like universal "controller language" translators.
holy shit, get some perspective. how about you reign in the corporate greed, unionize, and demand more than a paltry 8 dollars an hour for your labor instead of crying about the people beneath you who have the gall to purchase meat at the grocery store like you "real" people? seems like trying to elevate everyone in your poverty-stricken county is the easier solution than trying to push the faces of the poorest of you into the mud a little bit harder. what would you have them eat, cheese its and popcorn? perhaps ebt should only allow for the purchase of loaves of white bread and paper towels? perhaps we should just kill ebt recipients, right?
lol. lmao, even. they're not done with you yet.
be ready for filial support laws (already on the books in many states) to be enforced with gusto. when the boomers run themselves out of money for real, they'll be weilding the law as a weapon to pull their care expenses and lifestyle needs right from the paychecks of their children, like child support.
OK but piracy isn't stealing it is basically a harmless free copy. The issue here is corporations want to have their cake and eat it too, but to prohibit us all from either having or eating any cake ever. Corpos like that have zero right to my consideration or care.
I agree with your sentiment. I grew up mostly with 56k as the shiny new mainstream internet tech. I got DSL for the first time when I was like.. 13? I dislike the "stream everything" paradigm, too.
But, I do know a thing or two about it, so I want to correct a misconception you have that does make it all seem a little bit more reasonable than might appear for you at first glance:
download again and again and again instead of only once. Why not keep it instead of constantly using bandwidth for the same thing over and over?
Most of these streaming systems have built-in, automatic client-side caching mechanisms. This means that when Spotify downloads a song to your phone to play to you, it keeps a copy around in a safe place for a good while, so it doesn't have to re-download it every time. In a sense, it automates our natural data hoarding instinct and does so transparently, with keep-around durations calculated to provide the most ideal "local-replay to storage-consumed" ratio for their average users' network capabilities. The computers just take care of it automatically now so people don't have to think about it. If you only play it once, it'll toss it out for you. If you listen to it a lot, it's coming from your phone. "Streaming" is just high-speed managed file downloading.
100% right about the risk of them pulling content though. They're still a bad proposition. The DRM and "rent not own" they do screws with the whole value proposition.
this is incredibly inspiring and is a life goal of mine. change is scary but I want to make this change sometime. nice work!
came to say this. food is fuel, we are merely labyrinthine biological furnaces that chemically incinerates whatever unfortunate matter may enter us. the fuel's affluence is not typically relevant, but I'm a little out of touch on the science, I might be wrong.
