Far far too many for sure. No honestly I know a few farmers I very much respect, but they're getting older and the fail sons that are inherently the fields suck (the ones that don't aren't fail sons by definition)

A fair and just compromise imho

Pomdan won't work on my system because that is my alias to send Dan a message that I would like some more Pom.

It's a daemonless client for managing Linux containers. So any "docker" container. Most Linux distros have a native package for it too

Water for food is a compromisable subject. Child pron factories aren't for far more people.
At least for me, pro farmer folk do understand conservation and the important of managing natural resources, again it's a compromise when it comes to feeding people (yes, we also have to fight against wasteful water practices and choose to grow more sustainable food, but that should not stop momentum where we got it).

How is love even possible under traditional gender roles if men aren't allowed to be vulnerable?
Yeah, it's a very flawed premise for healthy relationships. The best case scenario is you find a partner that can be your everything including essentially your confidant and therapist.
In reality it leads to decades of repressed emotions and lashing out to loved ones because you can't create or exist in a space where you can regularly and productively express yourself.
One of the craziest true statements is the legalaziation of divorce led to a decrease in murdered husbands. The time of yore are full of gore as they say

Half-Earth Socialism: The Game
Reply in thread
Right?! I think I need more aggressive veganism rather than just meat cells because of the power usage. But you have to get negative green house gases for a while to get the temp to actually reverse.
I've been aiming for reasonable space myself which is crazy hard to get much of anything else so far

I don't think the space upgrades are needed to "make the world a better place" both IRL and in game. The main focus is to save the earth.

Linus Torvalds uses AI to debug an Intel GPU driver bug
I admire Linus Torvolds a lot. His works, the orginazations he's built, and his public speaking are all really well thought out imho, but I don't care when he poops and how much the log weighed.
Every time he does anything AI now a couple or articles crop up and get passed around. Its honestly annoying.

Chinese memory can now match the speed and latency configs of the RAM in our gaming PCs
Reply in thread
Yep. At the current rate neither the Chinese nor American states will save us. Neither want democracy or liberty for the average person and value control over any other moral principle.

Low to midrange systems (8-32 GB) vs. free cloud tiers
It's funny the per KWh going up prediction just made me think that buying more solar would be better now then buying RAM.
Sorry for the off topic. I wish I had an opinion but the cloud models seem so random in quality I get out of them it's hard to say for me, and almost change which model I run on a per project basis.
I will say for through put I do like vLLM better when I needed it and so I try to stick to models that can work on both that and Ollama.

Week of action planned against license plate readers
Reply in thread
I'll be honest I also assumed direct action instead of awareness campaign
I mean listen, awareness campaign and getting local officials out either commiting to being against or outing themselves as defenders of this stuff (just before many elections) is useful, it's just harder to call it "action" lol

Americans are destroying license-plate cameras as surveillance backlash grows
Reply in thread
Hey, thank you for taking the time to say something. Yeah, no, I get it. I'm clinging to hope and meaning where I can find it because being boiling with rage but also having mostly slow moving solutions in front of me (boycotts, voting, working with mutual aid groups, supporting the union, shifting to worker or community owed businesses where I can, again voting in those cases, working on a community food forest with others, working with the community bike coop, help arm and train my community and yeah protests and awareness campaigns) has been maddening. None of these can go fast, the food forests is literally at the speed of trees and scrubs to grow. All while, kind of like you said, fucking fascist and old school corruption take root in the festering wound of apathy in our political environment.
Sometimes it's just perception too, things seem like they are just in constant friction they something just clicks and people seem to just get it and it starts happening fast. Hell it's been slow going for me to get past these things being a new thing for me to getting into the habit and just part of my day to day. I don't want to be patient though and to certain extent we both can't be and have to be. The genocides and ethic cleansing campaigns for example can't wait of the food forest, I am at this point harassing people I know about it, I am supporting strikes and boycotts with military I know about it, getting people out of that sector where I can, and hounding people on the up coming elections, doing the call campaigns, supporting the flotillas, etc. it's not enough it should be more but I'm at a lose myself there.

If the markets reject OpenAI and Anthropic, the US should nationalize them
Reply in thread
Tbf most US nationalization schemes are just bailouts. The car manufactures just had stocks purchased. Intel too.
There is little appetite from corpo Dems and of course any Republicans for a forced seizing of assets.

Their fights against oppression is part of that song. That's the point. From Fredrick Douglass, John Brown, W.E.B. Du Bois, Tecumseh, Sitting Bull, Geronimo, Malcom X, MLK, Harvey Milk, and Rue Paul. From the suffergetes, the jayhawkers, the DSA, the IWW, AIM, the water protectors at DAPL and other places and many many more.
Too many have died from bastards trying to claim America in their name, but we keep fighting too and keeping making them history too. The genocide failed, us natives are still here.
Trust me we play the flag song at the powows because brave Americans fought against Nazis and again helped make them history.
So no I don't need to inform anyone, those are the people that told me.
