Gippity is pretty good at getting me 90% of the way there.

It usually sets me up with at least all the terms and etc I now know to google, whereas before I wouldnt even know what I am looking for in the first place.

Also not gonna lie, search engines are even worse than gippity for accuracy often.

And Ive had to fight with so many cases of garbage documentation lately that gippity genuinely does the job better, because it has all the random comments from issues and solutions in its data.

Usually once I have my sort of key terms I need to dig into, I can use youtube/google and get more specific information though, and thats the last 10%

I'd bet that the contract to build these happens to be someone owed a favor.

Bernie has a lot more energy than Trump and Biden combined, tbh.

He doesnt get support because he actually supports the working class. The fundamental thing us left folks have to accept is the democratic party simply isnt a left wing party. The left doesnt exist anymore in the US.

The parties are right wing conservatives called Democrats vs fascist psychopaths that call themselves Conservatives.

The reality simply is that the left is the right, and the right isnt even on the chart anymore. The actual left doesnt even have representation at this point.

Voters have to start getting a lot louder about this, in more obnoxious ways. Protesting has to happen, at minimum.

Thats the natural end game of capitalism, yes.

Not much you can do about it, it's human nature.

You're choosing between "lots of people being killed" vs "LOOOOOOTTTTTSSSS of people being killed"

Based on your own morality you have outlined, ethically you would choose to vote Kamala then, as under her far far fewer people will die.

Weird take.

People can care about and discuss more than one thing at a time.

Maybe, but the intersection of this group and certain plane trips to a certain island is suspicious.

I've been looking for th8s for awhile too.

Not a locally run tool, but a self hosted web app (that I wire up to my self hosted db) that has a web portal I login to, and then can manage my db with a nice slick UI to define tables, relations, etc.

There's been some I've found but they vastly lacked basic features and were clearly in very early beta.

I use Hugo, it's not super complicated.

You basically just define templates in pseudo html for common content (header, nav panel, footer, etc), and then you write your articles in markdown and Hugo combines the two and outputs actual html files.

You also have a content folder for js, css, and images which get output as is.

That's about all there is to it, it's a pretty minimalist static site generator.

Hosting wise you can just put it on github pages for free.

Well yeah, I'd hope so, that's the entire point.

Catcha's data collection always was with the intent for training ai on these skills. That's "the point" of them.

It's reasonable to expect that the older version of captchas can now be beaten by modern ai, because they're often literally trained on that exact data to beat it.

Captcha effectively is free to use on websites as a tool because the data collection is the "payment", they then license that data out to people like OpenAI to train with for stuff like image recognition.

It's why ai is progressing so fast, captchas are one of humanity's long term collected data silos that are very full now.

We are going to have to keep progressing the complexity of catches as it will be the only way to catch modern AIs, and in turn it will collect more data to improve it.

Not quite.

It's mostly wisdom of the crowd, as it always has been.

As long as you mostly click the same squares most other people click, you pass.

You often at random get 2-3 images because 2 of them are actual checks, but the third is a new image that you auto pass and they're using it to gather data on what the average clicks are on it.

If you want to win an election, Google might be arguably the worst possible company to directly threaten, not gonna lie.

Pretty sure uf they wanted to, they could wbd your political career with any manner of ways.

I bet trump's Google search history would be devastating if they threatened him with releasing it to the public, lol.

Because having people download static map data for the entire planet just to play a game is untenable.

You shouldn't have to download the entire planet though.

The game 100% should support installing local specific areas you wanna fly around, that anyone could then keep a copy of.

If a user wanted to cache an entire 8 TB of the entire world on a drive, they should be able to just do that (and thus have forever support without worrying about internet services staying online)

At least, as a snapshot of what the world looked like in 2024.

I don't see why users shouldn't have the option to locally HD save the data if they want to, to avoid maxing out their internet bandwidth in one sitting.

"Move Fast and Break Things" is Zuckerberg/Facebook motto, not Musk, just to note.

She has so much more sway than The Chicks had at the time, by such a huge amount.

The Chicks were already controversial, and had always been so.

But Dolly is the fucking queen of country, people revere her.

How many Dixie Chicks lookalike competitions were you seeing right before their career nosedived?

Despite Steam being proprietary, Proton (it's emulation system) is so profoundly stable I feel like it's a necessary evil at this time.

I haven't found a single "windows" game yet in my library that doesn't work with steam

Yeah this is just noticeable because most products weren't even resealable, they just expected you to seal em yourself with a clip, twist em, put em in a container, etc.

Now they are adding cheap resealable zips to the bag, which is nice in theory but the bag material has to be strong enough to support it.

Actual ziplock baggies themselves are made of thick plastic that can take a bit of abuse.

But cheap paper plastic hybrid materials a chip bag us made of can't handle that sort of load, so it becomes the fail point.

It's heavily because you call out to your SO a lot, and their full name is a mouthful.

Typically words like "babe", "hun", etc are the lowest effort pet name. The "b" percussive is one of the easiest to pronounce.

Usually this is simply to make communication faster and easier, "hun" is way faster to say than whatever their full name is.

This becomes do commonplace that after being together for many years, their full name is reserved for emergencies.

Like if you cut yourself or are hurt or whatever, you instinctually use their full name to grab their attention and alert them. (People alert to their full name way easier and can hear it better)

This results in producing an alarm "wtf?" response when you use it casually, it makes them whip their head up and their brain goes "is something wrong?"

Then when they realize the situation is fine, it becomes a sort of "you spooked me for nothing! Don't!" result.

You effectively reserve the full name only when you are trying to get their attention.

Dunno why ppl are down voting you, this is 100% the way.

Architecture as code is amazing, being able to completely wipe your server, re-install fresh, and turn it on and it goes right back to how it was is awesome.

GitOps version controlled architecture is easy to maintain, easy to rollback, and easy to modify.

I use k8s for my entire homelab, it has some initial learning curve but once you "get it" and have working configs on github, it becomes so trivial to add more stuff to it, scale it up, etc.

Why is it that blatantly lying about your political opponent and actively spreading clear disinformation that is easily reputable isn't penalized?

And I don't want like "cuz capitalism" zero effort responses, I'm wanting to know from an actual legal complexity standpoint what would go wrong if this was made illegal.

The fact it's so clearly provably as a false claim by countless directions, it should be an open and shut "you spread obvious disinformation" and at least a notable slap on the wrist should occur each time.

Why can a candidate just go and openly lie and say whatever without penalty, legally? Shouldn't this be under something like Libel, defamation, etc?

Shouldn't Kamala's crew be able to take Trump to court right now for defamation?
