I’ve read about this phenomenon in the past. Generally it’s found that due to audio processing cost and the sheer amount of other data easily gathered, there’s no reason for them to snoop with your microphone because other data is so readily available, much easier to process, store and ship.

No company will stop attempting to achieve mega corp status in a capitalist environment. Gotta make that line go up and to the right!

Trump really doesn’t have a clue how much it costs to have a baby let alone raise one, does he? $5k is a drop in the bucket.

Or we could, you know, NOT do that. That’d be the better option.

It’s actually pretty depressing how little money it takes to buy a senator. We’re talking hundreds to single digit thousands of dollars. Not really going to set that off, sadly.

That’s just what a scammer would say!

I actually just pulled some files off of one from 2004-ish. No issues. Found another one from 2008 about a year ago that had no issues as well. Not sure why… maybe because they were so much lower capacity? Like, one was 64MB and that was huge back then.

Only 15? Do we know if there will be another treehouse live afterwards?

First off, I’m not here to defend anyone. Biden and the Democrats should have been further left, and told our supposed ally to pound sand when they wanted bombs for Gaza. But they are an ally, and these deals came from Congress, so the democrats have basically zero say in what actually happens there because the republicans hold enough power there to make it so.

Secondly, don’t gaslight me. There’s plenty of news sites, it was pretty well covered, and I lived through it. I know what I read and saw. I don’t think it went far enough, and I’m pissed off it went the way it did, but it happened. A quick Google/bing/kagi search reveals plenty of results.

Thirdly, it doesn’t really matter. If you have the choice between “we’re going to let them bomb the shit out of them” and “were probably going to let them bomb the shit out of them” you don’t really get a choice on that front. You can NEVER truly be a single issue voter anyway in the US, so the fact that you choose who you didn’t means you liked the rest of Trump’s Project 2025 platform as well. You choose who’s more closely aligned with what you think is best and then you petition your congressional representative with your position. And I know we’re all looking forward to see just how far down economic security can go.

Yeah, because Trump didn’t make it clear enough that he was going to hand over as many bombs as possible to speed the genocide up so he could build a hotel/resort there. What the hell did you think would happen with the “I’ll just buy stocks in defense contractors before I escalate a war” Republican party?

Gimme a break. I hate Biden but at least he was trying to talk Netanyahu down and setup a peace deal. Biden even held bombs back until the republicans threatened to impeach him. Do I think he should have stuck to his guns, absolutely, but it’s congress that makes those decisions, not the president. Either way, thanks for choosing the worst timeline, directly or indirectly it doesn’t matter at this point.

passengers will also be able to upload their passports to their phone and travel through airports using their face for verification. Instead of manually checking in, which would let airlines know who intends to board their flights, airlines will instead be alerted when passengers arrive at the airport and their face is scanned

They can’t even reliably scan a QR code, how can they pull that off with 100% accuracy?

Because X is definitely the right place for that, and something older generations will have access to and know how to use…

Can we stop this timeline now?

Honestly, if I were TikTok and saw this, I’d just shut off all US access to TikTok, make it clear the Tarrifs and Trump are the reason, and watch gleefully as a good % of the US that use it start revolting against Trump.

This, but Jellyfin. Plex has already begun its enshitification, sadly.

There’s a normal docker image, If this is all you want. However in all honesty, kubernetes is so nice to work with compared to running multiple docker compose things on the same host or the nightmare of a multi-host docker only lab. Just depends on how much homelab/selfhosting you’re doing. I know I’m grateful they included a helm chart here and I wish more self hosted software projects did as well. Options are always nice to have.

Two European-based cloud service companies, Exoscale and Elastx, tell WIRED they have seen an uptick in potential customers looking to abandon US cloud providers over the last two weeks

Are these any good? Are there others? As an American, I’m 100% on board with getting my digital footprint out of this country and into the EU somewhere, so I’d love to know!

Just because most everyone agrees doesn’t mean you should stop. The vast majority of Lemme seems to agree that Musk is a piece of shit, but I’m going to keep point it out anyway.

It’s become very popular. Jaguar, Lexus, Audi, they’ll use glues at some point. So I’m very surprised. It’s not as if it’s an unknown science. I’ve not heard [of problems] anywhere else.”

Yeah, none of those brands are trying to be cheap as shit death traps though.

I also find it fun how i heard this morning that it hasn’t even been fixed in production yet.

So glad we’re destroying the environment and GPU market for this.

Yes.
