Well yes, but it’s America so, why not build the spy machines into something that pays the oil industry more.

For me the main point is, syncronization. Point is I want to read on my phone, or if i go to another computer catch up on it. If I set up a seperate RSS reader on each, then I’d have to figure out what’s read and what’s not. Honestly that’s a feature that google reader really had me spoiled in, I loved being able to use a work computer, browse through my rss feeds, star articles that I thought I may want to come back to, go home look at the starred ones and then go back.

Then google reader shut down, and I wanted to be able to do the same again, while also not being vulnerable to another shut down.

I think we are about hitting the AI pocolypse now. Just like when most the free video sites started imploding or getting swarmed with ads. The “give it away free and super well, while hemoraging money”. step is starting to run out… investors are tired of pouring money into the black hole, and telling these companies “figure out how to opperate in the green or give up”, and the fact is this ponzi scheme is about to run out.

Yeah something like Wine, but running natively in the Linux OS.

I think here’s where you are a bit off in understanding…

Linux is not an OS. It’s a kernel. Long story short, technically “Linux” has no graphic interface, cannot even run commands without a shell attached etc…

Obviously when most people say “linux”, they mean a linux distribution, which is the linux kernel, with a bunch of software bundled and installed on top of it when you install. WINE is no different than “x” or “wayland”. which are by definition, software running on a linux kernel, that is necessary to run a program designed to be graphical.

The point is everything run on “linux” is actually run on top of layers built on top of linux. So say we’re talking running the text editor feather pad.

so linux “native” looks like Linux Kernel -> display server (x/wayland) -> libraries -> featherpad,

while running something with wine looks like Linux Kernel -> Display server -> Libraries for wine -> Wine - Notepad.

I’ll agree, but what I’ll say is it’s a chain… were we to put it

https://www.longtermtrends.com/home-price-median-annual-income-ratio/

so bottom line is it’s right, it was actually a minor peak in 1970, dropping to 1975, going up to 1980… balooned like crazy in the 2005 housing bubble, and is currently sitting way above that.

but yeah I’d say key overall trend is, starting around 1970… it’s on the whole progressively gotten worse over time.

I’m sure the Hollywood version will not be good, but it won’t be because of those cultural factors. It’s not hard to find equivalents to certain cultural artifacts, and rearrange plot points to fit a different setting. What the American film will fail to do is to be as biting in its satire of class differences, because Hollywood executives think it won’t sell well.

I agree there, I don’t think it’s impossible or even difficult to make the movie that hits the same themes the same way, there’s absolutely zero thought in my head that it’s not possible to make something purely with American culture, systems, housing and foods that conveys 100% of the same message, in some ways possibly even better

However, there is a very high chance that somewhere in the production line decisions are made by someone who either determines that the things that made the movie popular, aren’t compatible with American audiences, and will intentionally dumb them down or change the actual themes.

I didn’t say it was impossible, I meant it was far harder than it was. It was the normal expected result at one point, and as time goes forward it’s less and less common.

To date, what has consistently always happened over time is that as our productive capacity increases, someone finds some way to create a higher standard of living using that productive capacity. That higher standard of living has always been more-appealing than the leisure time.

The frustrating part is what the upper class misses, They describe it as the “standard of living” going up… They are talking as if getting a house is the same as always, but we all want netflix and video games now so we are struggling to keep up. When the obvious situation to anyone not at the top is, what used to be expensive luxuries are getting cheaper, new luxuries are being added, but essentials are ballooning out of control.

If we had the choice to live like the 80s, where we could casually afford a home for a family with a single income etc… but facebook were more expensive… their analogies would make sense. but the reality is, we’re all forced into the work large hours, not because we want more luxuries, but because the basic human needs for food, water and shelter are where the requirements are going up.

Sadly that does tend to be how most biggotry works. they quickly conclude that most the people they actually meet and spend time with are “the good ones”. Kind of the way it usually works, the ones that don’t fall into their expectations must be the exceptions… so that the rule can stay in place.

They basically already admitted their plan. Rand Paul basically said the pardon covers his past, but if we can get him on perjury in this hearing that won’t be covered. IMO I think this whole concept is nonsense. Really the way I see it there’s nothing even remotely pointing to an intentional attack. Fauci wanted the focus to be on dealing with the pandemic rather than figuring out who to blame for it.

It actually is though, at least after a set amount of time, usually 2 years. I do wonder how often that kind of system might have actually saved lives.

IE in my case I don’t think I even followed through with getting insurance, but after my fiance of 14 years dropped me with no warning. I actually came pretty darn close, and I actually came pretty close to getting a life insurance policy and just gritting through the 2 years to leave my son and… even the ex with something.

Again I didn’t get the policy, but quite simply that possibility gave me something to push forward for a couple of years, after which a whole lot changed, my mental attitude improved massively, I got a much better girlfriend, I got a house, my son moved in with me. I would say even the possible thought of the life insurance, probably helped give me a “well I only need to push through long enough to get the insurance and run out the clock”.

Also though further detail within this comic, something like this concept would be harder to rule as a suicide, using an existing medical condition.

agreed there, the rule should be, if your goal is to make sure your information is out there… don’t limit it to one place. Post it to Lemmy, Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, keep it on your PC, and a flash drive, and have off site backups.

Sadly many of us have known that for years. Which sucks in the fact that it’s hard to fathom a good system for this problem. Every option has undesirable consequences when you can’t definitavely prove who is a bad actor.

IE case: report against person X claiming abuse of child

A. Investigate: Great, but how intrusive to go… Like in this case they took the twins away long enough that they could at least try to get the story. Probably would be better to drop in and see how the family is, but actual abusers could certainly keep the act and story straight for a few minutes/hours, and return right to it when the door is closed.

B. Take the kids out long enough to sort it out, good if there’s an abuser, but again horrific if there isn’t.

C. Punish the hell out of false flaggers. also good, but again comes down to the bigger problem of abusers that can cover it up. We all agree that there should be a harsh as hell penalty for people who knowingly file a false claim. But then comes “mistaken claims” and even “true claims that lack evidence”. When actual abusers can hide their abuse long enough to get through an investigation, and wreck the lives of the person who reported them, it creates the chilling effect of scaring legtimate accusers into silence.

I’ve been on the wrong end of DSS before, I know many people who have been on the wrong end of DSS over false calls, family disputes etc… Honestly this is so far from supprising to me, except the fact that in this case the victim is a high profile politician. The poor half of America has always known of this danger.

Very much not a lawyer but in the US from what I understand you don’t have to consent to a field sobreity test at all (IE the breathalyzer), but the cops can require you to come to the station for, the tests that they refused to give you.

As far as Miranda rights, that’s kind of misunderstood, in short if you weren’t formerly brought into an interogation room. or put in jail, it’s not a strong requirement for them to read it.

I don’t have the full picture but if you aren’t in jail, then you’ve basically got a BS ticket. They might be able to hit you for reckless driving or something if you were swerving or something in your driving lead to the actual suspicion and they have it on dash cam, but the DWI itself, should fall apart instantly without evidence.

I know my ex got out of a DWI that she was very guilty of, simply by police incompetence (cops lost the test results),

A bit of both though. In house models don’t need the power and process of a small city, they need the power to power what their business needs. Also it would seem to me that has a huge advantage on the whole as a model would be more efficient, if it’s focused on the companies needs rather than being a jack of all trades, from poetry to law to code. Cut out the being everything to everyone and you can do far more with far less hardware.

Honestly I still feel it’s a false flag attack. Both these companies have a huge motive to basically say the AI security war is here, the only way to defend from AI attacks, is AI defense.

Doesn’t really clear things up more, says “we detected an attack, we fixed the method it went in through, no further details needed”.

So yeah basically it is open AI’s claims to go further of “our models are so advanced that they can’t be contained”. It’s a story that will bolster both of their investor value and send the message to governments and companies “the AI arms race is here, shots may be fired without even people attacking, and the only way to protect yourself is to have AI security guards”.

It’s literally 2 arms dealers telling us the war is already started. On the surface it sounds like it should be bad for them… but in reality it’s just hype that benefits them in the long run, just like mass shootings do for gun manufacturers.

Hell it’s not even about the difficulty tiers, it’s I oppose the one that falls in my juristiction, I support the one that’s above me. Please put me in charge of the country and I’ll support it… or raise the same objection just saying it will drive businesses overseas and hold out for a global wealth tax.

Most developed countries already do this, it’s called “social housing”

Technically I believe the US does it as well. Just all funded so poorly they hit a very negligible portion of the people that need it.
