It's such a tall ask but I really need to get my shit up to a better place by end of month or else I won't be able to renew my lease, and with my credit just above 500 now after the last 2 years I will have zero chance of renting again. I really need a miracle here.

Horrific news. The defendants — including two trans women — are political prisoners persecuted for opposing the atrocities of a fascist regime. But the Haymarket trial didn't kill anarchism or unions. Rigged, corrupt courts are an old weapon in the hands of tyrants. People always fight on anyway.

We have a verdict and we are heartbroken at the results. This is only the beginning. We will continue to fight the remaining charges until every defendant is home.

I'm gonna have a little hot take today, as a treat: I think you're actively hurting yourself if you use LLMs/generative AI when you play solo RPGs. I think you're literally damaging the part of your brain that does things like imagine, solve problems, and make connections. I think it is bad for you.

mom and pop operated NAS shop. everyone in town knows john and marla, they run the last local cloud storage business. fifteen fifty a month gets you an honest 24 terabytes. pretty good deal and marla keeps a bottle of tanqueray behind server rack 44 if you happen by

DFW is such a weird place to live because people are /intently/ proud of it, and like 90% of it looks like this. It's just a weird civic pride for a place that's mostly highways, stroads, retail shopping, chain restaurants, and office buildings.

I wanna start bullet journaling again so I went to the bullet journaling website to refresh myself and found out they do not have instructions on how to bullet journal anymore but you can pay $300 a year to take a bullet journal class and talk to bullet journal experts.

I am officially 10 books into Discworld and I'm sad I didn't start sooner. I'm listening to the audiobooks, and it took me until about 8 books in to realize that the narrator was Neil from The Young Ones and not just a guy with a great Neil impression.

I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment that a series of Nuremberg-style trials is about the only way the US is ever going to continue to exist as it exists today. However, the flip side of this is that the Nazis did not show up to the Nuremberg trials in response to a subpoena.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

i for one am shocked that the "i go in the pool to cool down, why can't my phone?" guy is bad at programming and offloading his job to the anthropic api

Anyway, like I said, I was shocked at how easy it was for me, a world wide web surfer and occasional electronic mailer, to install and use Linux on my day-to-day personal computer.

Today in working at a data center (non-AI/hyperscaler): The piles and piles and piles of cheap 1 and 2 terabyte drives we'v e apparently been hoarding for years? Guess what, the powers that be are suddenly keenly interested in them for some strange reason.

switching to Linux will take you as much work as "upgrading" to Windows 11. Don't think you can't do it, it's possible and there's communities full of people ready to help you troubleshoot issues in an instant

I was on a Kane Pixels kick the last 24 hours, finally watched the truly *excellent* series 'The Oldest View' and was just blown away. Went in mostly blind, had no idea it was based around a mall I spent much of my childhood in, and whose demolition I drove by daily for years. Made it very surreal.
