It is a nice thought but nothing more than that. Not even enough for a bad cup of coffee each.

"We know that people uniquely trust Google Earth" Anyone who trusts ANYTHING Gurgle puts out is foolish. Everything Gurgle does is for profit.

Because they're the most powerful and easy to use, and likely only, data manipulation tool a person with no hint of computing-specific education is likely to run across.

> How many people does it take to run a data center after taking up all this property and all this land that could have been used for something else?

Some medium number of H1B's?

No, the jobs are not going to the citizens of the county where the citizens are subsidizing for all this for their own enslavement.

Who would ever believe such a thing after the Covid lies?

I know someone who really wants to be an electrician's apprentice but the same three slots that have existed in this metro area for the past decade are the same three slots that exist today.

Ah, well, there are pointless wars to fund and Surveillance Bros to enrich.

> Electrical Workers

Damn, son, good catch.

Some of them do metal stud framing. "Framers" might be more accurate?

> I could have done myself if the government didn't require a licensed install?

Are you going to call the cops on yourself?

Nobody pays attention to cartels where I live.

Their War on Energy has to be about depopulation at this point. They've destroyed 20% of world oil, sulfur, helium, fertilizer, natgas, and now they're going after the building blocks of home solar installs that could help people cope.

At the same time the RFP for Draft Management Software closed today.

Even Alex Jones is calling for impeachment. They've gone totally off the deep end.

Power Inverter means:

Everything useful has Bluetooth in it now. That's how you hook it up to Home Assistant. Somebody should tell the FCC that Bluetooth doesn't reach to China.

Imagine all the crime the Bell System was used to perpetrate!

So many Russians use Telegram, including front-line soldiers.

There's more to this story that we don't know.

Can we intuit that the casefile and evidence were handled in proportional typefaces?

I remember some old court documents where everything was done in Courier. Times New Roman seems to be a standard now.

Notice how the "free press" keeps talking about this as a "law enforcement problem" but hasn't once talked about any time somebody was threatened by a mugger to unlock and this safety feature saved their bacon?

Most common criminals will run when there is nothing further to be gained.

Big organized crime gangs, such as people at the border threatening travelers under color of law, are the exception rather than the rule. They got embarrassed that their dominance play didn't work, so now they're lashing out and they have thousands of people and billions of dollars at their disposal. "How DARE you not bow before me!?!?"

Convenience of fake cops doesn't override the rights and safety of citizens. Exact same issue as Flock.

I'm quite ignorant about codeberg except for looking through the code of a project or two.

I was curious because I hear people speaking about it in cult-like terms. I thought that just meant they liked it a lot but according to this article there's a herd mentality about excommunicating apostates.

Yikes.

Reminds me of when I was really interested in the Bluesky protocol before it got swarmed with ideology.

It never used to be like this. We used to make fun of Apple for their "no nuclear end use" license in the 80's. I also saw my first Mac IIfx at a tokamak fusion lab, so that's how effective that was. But Apple couldn't just press a ban button back then which has been a problem with SaaS for a long time now.

Lots of big protects are banning lots of decent people. We shouldn't do this.

Timeline hopper here, just through the gate from funny laugh lady land. Believe it or not in that line Musk is still the richest man ever over there - richer even - but he's a woke social librul because he knows which side of his bread has butter on it.

Notably, President Harris also prefers rockets that will launch to rockets that will not for some reason.

But don't eat the fish. Just in case.

>[T]he oligopoly seems to be facing the first credible challenge to its capacity discipline...

What an interesting way to describe that. A disciplined way, you might say.
