Cold and dry, but still pretty warm during the day. A good amount of snow can fall and be gone by the afternoon.

Easy, roaches. I assume there are already at least 1000 in my attic.

Can't believe I missed this by two decades

Burden of proof should be on the government to show you are not disabled!

This is why osm is great, submit a change!

Just an idea, I don't do this so you may want to hear from someone who does 😅

And here I was thinking that tanking the market was a bad thing 😅

Agreed, if there's a way to make a fall guy, there will be a fall guy.

In the wake of recent events a widespread disgust with the behavior of corporations has been in the spotlight. Why do companies act? Mostly 'for the shareholders.' This is why Twitter is no more, why openAI is an empty husk, and possibly why our planet is headed towards a climate disaster.

Note this Ferengi-esque drive to profit is entrenched in our model of a corporation: It's entire purpose is profit. When we think of a corporation acting in the interest of it's shareholders we only think of actions that result in profit in dividends or stock prices.

Why is this the only way corporations act in the interest of shareholders? Because shareholders, owners, only take financial risk when owning a corporation. Owners are inherently protected from the consequences of corporate actions.

Corporations commit crime. It happens, and it is difficult to pin down who is ultimately responsible for these crimes. Sometimes it is an employee who truly is responsible, but sometimes the company itself created the conditions requiring employees to break the law and sometimes the company decides the penalty is worth the profit.

Imagine how the balance of competing interests would change if instead of treating owners as disinterested observers, responsibility for all corporate actions was evenly divided by ownership stake. Fines, asset seizure, court orders, prison sentences, felon status all trickling up to those ultimately responsible: owners. The best interest of shareholders would no longer be limited to maximizing profit, but also minimizing prosecution risk.

This would not stop bad actors entirely, but would remove one of the evolutionary pressures that selects for their success.

I think 'for sale' would get the point across 😅

Visit about:compat in your firefox. I find it insane that these exist.

Edit: I've learned that this is part of the webcompat system addon developed by Mozilla and other contributors. I see why this is beneficial default behavior, since FF has no chance of getting enough market share to matter more if things are broken.

However, this behavior is too intrusive for my taste. For example this injection: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/8a4afb4d34f8/browser/extensions/webcompat/injections/js/bug1472075-bankofamerica.com-ua-change.js is basically just to silence annoying user reports.

Also, Every site FF pretends to be a different UA on is artificially reducing FF market share data.

Where do they put them? How many of these are there? Is this just a septic truck with a mattress inside?

Gyoza (lemmy.world)
submitted 10 months ago by mvirts to c/cookathome@lemmy.cafe
 

Made some delicious beef gyoza today. This is what's left after dinner, for the next few days lunch.

3lbs ground beef ... A bunch of gyoza skins (about 3 packs) A small onion Salt Oil for frying (olive + a little sesame oil) Garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, soy sauce, and rice vinegar for the dipping sauce Rice to go with it

 

Any thoughts on why cat /sys/kernel/notes gives me:

LinuxLinuXen@ XenlinuxXen2.Xenxen-3.Xen����XenXen��&����� XenXeXeXen������XeXengenericXen Xenyes

I'm beginning to look into another issue I posted about, but this struck me as odd

Help w/ crash (lemmy.world)
submitted 11 months ago by mvirts to c/linux@lemmy.ml
 

Any advice on where to go from here? This console was running dmesg -w to try and catch an intermittent crash... And this is what I got. I am using an el cheapo USB wifi adapter that I'm suspicious of.

Everything was working fine until I rebuilt nixos with Nvidia support... Now my old generations of the OS are crashing after a few minutes (display on, no response to input, keyboard lights don't respond, SysRq doesn't work)

XC90 speed vibration (self.mechanicadvice)
submitted 1 year ago by mvirts to c/mechanicadvice
 

I've been procrastinating a fix for a vibration that is speed related on my xc90. It starts around 45mph and comes and goes up to 65 or 70... I broke some stuff 'diagnosing' it, and once I fix that I'm going to take the awd driveshaft out. I'm assuming a bearing is bad, any ideas? I want to repair the driveshaft because it's really expensive to replace.
