I just realized that we don’t pay volunteer EMTs or Firefighters. And of course, I’m sure fulltime police officers outnumber the fulltime staffing of both firefighters and EMTs.

How the fuck have we survived this long?

It seems most people like ignorance when it’s convenient to confirming their worldview.

Its not a time period or quality issue but an ownership one. You can buy a new car but you don’t ever really own it fully.

Its more accurate to ask, which parts are the AI workhorse; the head or the body?

If it’s the body then AI is helping you (the head) to do hard tasks which probably fits your definition of a cyborg. If it’s the head as in the reverse centaur, then you (the body) are doing all the work for an AI model.

I think the argument is that at this point the use of AI has been found to be more useful for tasks that’s managers and bosses perform than more technical tasks that would be assigned to employees underneath them. And if those managers were replaced by AI then you would have a tireless manager overseeing workers doing more difficult work that do tire out but are expected to keep up with demands from the management.

I don’t agree with that. The centrists that remain “neutral” don’t see there being any political issues, just a president that is controversial whose policy they may not agree with but they’d rather keep their personal connections and appeal to “both sides.” Thus, they hear deception from the right, believe it as truth, and the tug of war continues because they lack critical thinking to determine it as a lie or a spine to refute it.

Your last sentence sounds ignorant. Of course there’s no negotiating compromise when all the right is offering is harm at this point.

Edit: Oh, I read the first portion as the centrists but you were talking about progressives. It’s probably some shame for those that didn’t vote but I think it’s more about mental health and coming to terms that the system doesn’t balance itself. Too many were complacent with what we had and recent events are quite the wake-up call.

Yeah the Overton Window is pretty bad in the US.

Everything related to the welfare of others is dogmatically condemned as unfair and evil by the political right, while also continuing with US tradition of shooting down anything with the label of socialism. Centrists can’t tell what’s up from down and blindly accept that those policies were unfair or unnecessary. Meanwhile, informed social progressives have either moved further left or buried their heads to survive the sheer amount of propaganda that their out of touch centrist colleagues are repeating.

Everyone is exhausted except for the alt-right; who also are loving the oppression and lies that the current federal government dealing out. The media is completely captured by tech oligarchs and perpetuates the propaganda by framing it as the only way to think.

It’s not hard to see why things are the way they are given that its a coin toss between people who follow whatever source of truth is easiest and those who are invested in finding their flavor of truth.

Don’t engage with them. It’s a troll account.

I generally agree with you, however your argument does add some subjectivity to the maybe and no sections. I’d add that while not every situation can accommodate a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle, in 2026 the vast majority of people have the capability to change to a non-meat diet without any detriment to their health or lifestyle besides social ostracism of unaccepting peers depending on where they live.

Good point. Why should we treat animals like slaves then?

I totally agree with you.

I wish more in the tech industry were able to see how these issues are all related to the leftist struggle.

Unfortunately, I think you’re projecting a bit. He’s had interviews stating that he has issues with “both” sides, so from what I can find he seems centrist in his views. Also, he’s now a part of FUTO which has hosted him as a speaker alongside others with alt-right tech personalities.

From my perspective, I think he fits the burned out IT professional archetype that is tired of all the BS today, but as far as activism I think he’s pretty much only focused on right to repair. Anything beyond that seems to not be in his scope of interest. But to be honest, I would be happy to be proven wrong.

I’ve found NewPipe to be a good YT alternative for Grayjay.

Which lies are you talking about?

I mean, to be fair, I’d also like extra daylight when I’m done with work to just enjoy life more. But I’m sure this isn’t what Republicans are concerned with given all of the other policies inflicted upon the populace.

Also, a 4 AM sunrise seems way too early for me.

Do you work on software with graphics? Otherwise, you could probably virtualize or use a separate computer for work software. It’s just good practice to separate work from life anyways.

Solution: don’t run hosted services on your edge appliance.

In OP’s case, I’d use the RPi for the OpenWRT router and the miniPC for any relatively small hosted services I need. That way you can keep your services in its own DMZ away from your IOT devices assuming you have a smart tv/roku/firestick or other random likely vulnerable devices.

Network segment everything you can, but at the very least, I’d keep your services off of the device that is separating your LAN from WAN.

How did you know I was avoiding the 96 things I should be doing and instead walking in circles thinking up more things I could be doing?

Good point. I’ll update my comment.

That’s probably okay for mild fevers but if they get progressively worse then you’re risking them permanent brain damage.

Here’s everything I know about this whole thing:

There has been a lot of research into the subject but there’s also been unreliable data that is being used to intentionally misrepresent what has been found (hence the correlative vs causal relationships).

So the current well agreed on science is:

• All current fever reducing medications (and most other medications) are correlated with detectably increasing the chances of a child being born with autism, including Tylenol
• Having a fever while pregnant is correlated with increasing the chances of a child being born with autism well beyond the level that Tylenol would pose
• So, strategically using Tylenol would be the best way to mitigate all risks. Which is also what was the general recommendation was prior to this DoH announcement.
