  • Then stop lying about it :

    "Hey, how you doin'?"

    " Everything's bad, as usual, thanks"

    Or

    "Just as bad as yesterday, thanks, what about you?"

    Or

    "... next question?"

    If it's a client and can't afford to be awkward, just say say

    "Just another day"

    And if people ask for more details but you don't want to talk about it, just say :

    "Just having a bad day"

    Or

    "Nothing good happened yet"

    Or

    "Nothing out of the ordinary"

    Or just make up your honest but polite answers

  • Wait, if you had graphene I didn't think you'd get the battery crippling update right? Or are you saying that, even though you had graphene, you decided to get a free battery by reverting to stock, then (I guess) put graphene back?

  • I'm sorry, I hate what Elon is doing, with twitter/X and not only, but I call bullshit on this post, at least until further strong evidence being presented.

    I don't doubt that Elon and Xitter have been pushing his political agenda one way or another, but the post specifically calls out elizaOS and links to some github website and repo which supposedly contains "bread crumbs". All I see is an AI project that is not (directly, at least) affiliated with Elon, at least from what I could find on a quick internet search, and for sure whose employees were not X employees to be able to leave bread crumbs into. Also the supposed "bread crumb" is just some third party company/organization offering an AI agent mockingmimicking Trump where in its "bio" it says it interfered with the election? Sorry, I need stronger proof.

  • Let me know when the deal is final, accepted by both parties, nobody pulls out or unilaterally changes terms at the last second, and the deal is actually observed and enforced for at least a week. I've seen this script play out differently too many times to get excited yet...

  • I think it's much simpler honestly: fires like these have been happening every year in California for the past hmm... at least 5 years, maybe more. Insurances are simply catching on and doing what any for-profit company would do in this situation, avoid losing money.

  • She might have picked a side, but I can't be 100% sure of which one just from the lyrics. In fact, if anything, it seems she hasn't picked a side: she sides with one on some issues (e.g. Israel) and with the other on other issues (e.g. cancel culture).

    As a result, she's probably angering both sides, which maybe was the whole point, who knows.

  • Alright, I know nothing about this person or the song, but I went to read the article to see where it says she is an "anti-vaxxer" and a "musk fan", as well as "against Israel's genocide":

    In the song, May rails against "big pharma," a "man-made virus," "cancel culture," and a war that she brands "genocide."

    This is the only passage I could find that remotely hints about her stance about those things and I see the controversial "man-made virus" line, but that just means she believes the virus was man-made, e.g. it came from Wuhan's lab, which is a hypothesis that was seriously considered, though still found less likely than the zoonotic one.

    Nothing there says she's against vaccines. It does say she's against Israel's genocide though, assuming that's the war being referred here (lyrics seem to confirm that).

    Searching for "vax" or "vaccine" in the entire article yields nothing.

    Searching for "musk" yields this verse in the lyrics:

    Mr. Musk, he said some s***, the lefts are angry

    Which... doesn't seem to imply she's a fan either (she might be, mind you, but one can't conclude that from this article).

    So, when reading an article, let's not extrapolate beyond what's reasonable.

  • From the article:

    It’s unclear whether that will change under Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to run the US Department of Health and Human Services. Kennedy has called for getting rid of dyes and other ingredients linked to cancer that can be found in food and has said the US needs tougher regulators that aren’t as close to the industries they police.

    I guess even a broken clock is right twice a day ... hopefully he makes that happens.

  • And you don't have your notification bar on the phone full of upload errors?

    I get a bunch of upload errors for photos that I delete or move before nextcloud has a chance to upload them, those are safe to ignore. Not sure which errors you're getting...

    Can you get to older photos in under an hour, while Nextcloud slowly loads one thumbnail per second?

    Forget about the plain nextcloud photos app, use the Memories app (incl. the android app).

    Not as good as immich, from what I understand, but if you already have nextcloud, or need more than just photos, it works well.

    It is really unbeleviable how there are some people for whom Nextcloud just works, and the rest of us.

    It's definitely not perfect, but since I was able to set it up to work well for me, I'm keeping it, at least until I have time to install immich and figure out how to sync the two (and maybe get a more powerful server to use its ML features). I'm currently running it off of a decade old chromebox ...

  • I have years worth of photos backed up from my phone (android) on Nextcloud, it's working pretty well... but it matters how you set up the auto upload and a few other things, and I'mnot claiming it's without issues.

    For example, I set it to move files into Nextcloud's folder after uploading, so they appear as locally synced, and can be deleted to free up space if needed (maybe even automatically, not sure). Also, I set it to also upload existing files, because since they get moved, anything that's still there clearly needs to be uploaded.

    There are a few issues viewing media from the app, sometimes, but I use the Memories app :)

    I've been meaning to try immich, looks pretty good, but I use Nextcloud for much more than just photos, so I'd have to keep both and have them sync somehow, and I'm not sure how to do that.

  • I'm pretty sure it's impossible to transmit bits "instantly" i.e. faster than light under the current quantum theory or relativity theory, you can't transmit information faster than the speed of light. If somebody found a way to do that, we'd be rewriting the laws of physics, and that would be a big deal for sure.

  • The second one, of course:

    the new research proposes that the breakthrough could make these communications super secure and nearly instantaneous – limited only by the speed of light.

    (enphasis mine)

    So, yeah, we didn't break any laws of physics.
