I use the bluesky bridge. One of the issues is that it is opt-in instead of opt out. I feel like most of the people I find that are using the bridge are likely also part of the federated universe to begin w/.

My uneducated guess is that they need AI-related features to sell more units and this was one that seemed useful for consumers. They were mistaken, but that's my thought process. I use Linux so I'm viewing things indifferent on this end

Are we seeing the same thing? Is the meme referencing denial in the room with us right now?

Can you reiterate what you were trying to say then? To me, these quotes sound reductive but perhaps there's nuance I'm overlooking:

each politician acting in their personal self-interest

both of them have thoroughly demonstrated to be their only priority

This is political theater where they're playing with the lives of the people in question.

I think it's the opposite. The public opinion has turned on him and so everything he does is critiqued. It's nudge on by the media but is also the cycle of celebrities du jour

I'm not sure if NYT is trying to soothe our anxieties or make us complacent.

I think the level of access to the president and unscrupulous/amoral actors in the administration is unrivaled and will lead to unprecedented outcomes.

IMO it's like predicting in January 2020 that the US would be unscathed from Covid because we have had +100 years without an extreme pandemic.

Biden: Grants clemency indiscriminately for 1,500 people Public: Why did you let the Cash for Kids woman free Biden: Commutes death sentences selectively Public: Who made you judge, jury and executioner?

Yes, I also agree that the president that commuted many death sentences is exactly the same as the president wanting to execute all of the prisoners

If someone has the TV volume too high, I cannot focus on anything else

This meme seems reductive. Mandatory protection would also cover a single-payer health system.

There's a difference between protesting poor regulation of mandatory services (ie healthcare) vs a libertarian, "It's my right to die in a car crash because I don't want to wear a seatbelt"

I hate to be that guy but I think that you should persevere and try to resolve the issue instead of paying someone. I suggest using a large language model to troubleshoot existing problems. For every three or four easy-to-run containers, there are usually one to two shitstorms lacking proper/ easy to follow documentation but that doesn't mean the end result isn't worth the effort. If I recall correctly I also have issues with wallabag but eventually got it to run.

Alternatively you can use something like link Warden or obsidian to self-host.

It’s fun to say that artificial intelligence is fake and sucks — but evidence is mounting that it’s real and dangerous

  1. Yes I know you can learn for free reading man pages
  2. Remember to update the 'Adjust Donation' before purchasing to give more to the charity/publisher

I follow two already using FreshRSS and I'm looking for more

 

"After much consideration, we have decided to move Platformer off of Substack. Over the next few days, the publication will migrate to a new website powered by the nonprofit, open-source publishing platform Ghost. If you already subscribe to Platformer and wish to continue receiving it, you don’t need to do anything: your account will be ported over to the new platform."

 

They've started inserting a subtle ad as the first result instead of the actual app you're searching for.

This has to have been a change over the last month or two I feel like?

I'm having to reprogram myself to view the first result as irrelevant. Really makes me want to increase the F-Droid alternatives that I use.
