They won’t. But I wish they would, as far as I’ve seen from my local LA government, they’re also really poorly prepared. The plan, for instance, is to hold events across several major LA venues (and not build any new ones) but since our public transit is complete trash, it’s going to be a logistics nightmare.

Basically us locals are going to straght up have to go full quarantine mode since the traffic is going to be so bad. And it’s a shame, last time I heard at LAEDCs forecast, they really need the revenue.

Yup, and then if you do endlessly scroll all you get to see either very wild takes, porn, and/or extremely niche start up communities, depending on your level of federation.

Still one of my wifes favorite sketches of theirs.

I should use this as an excuse to finally get a NAS setup. Maybe.

Yeah, I’m afraid the tech bros cut costs by not saving backups and removing all the old ones. Hell, all our changes are made in prod, no staging allowed here.

I wonder if this and others will force US rebuilding efforts to include governmental reform if and when Trump is out. No amount of Obamas can reassure people the US isn’t just going to flip out the left time it changes hands again.

I can’t believe it was this guy or Dr. Fucking Oz. There is something deeply wrong with Pennsylvania.

That’s what you get when everyone has a sauna.

And yes, many homes have it and one thing my Finnish friend does is sauna up and then jump in the snow. That’ll wake you up.

Gross but also… kinda curious from an A/B testing perspective to know when the user drop off happens. Kind of like, what’s the pain threshold before someone stops using shitty software. The answer really should be zero but the average user… ugh, it’s probably fucking 8 or 9 and we should be ashamed.

Too bad is Bing so the sample size is too small for any meaningful results.

Ironically, a lot of stock trading already is done by bot, it’s a problem from a while ago. Not LLM, of course, much simpler but it’s why it sometimes goes hive mind.

Man, I want to be at that shareholder meeting; “how about we just don’t have a CEO and pocket the savings?”

To add a note, they’re famously private people, hence living out there in the first place. It’s not that unusual to go unnoticed when you live on a gated compound and don’t like socializing with your neighbors. From what I could tell they didn’t even know who those two were.

It’s too bad they can’t just do 50% on MAGA households and non voters. Somewhere in NY there is someone who actively campaigned to prevent this and continues to protest and they’re getting a 25% price hike anyway.

At least we can target businesses and billionaires more directly, although unlike the average voter they need a lot, lot more pain before they change.

Another tough but not impossible migration for my crew, but there isn’t a good enough alternative yet. Plus they finally got around to fixing streaming on Linux, apparently, and I’m about to swap back once my new m.2 is installed.

It’s a solid start, but it really should just be predicated on a peace deal itself as the disqualification logic used before isn’t applicable at that point. Joining NATO should always be done in peace time, including before and not at the start of the inevitable subsequent war with Russia.

Look, stranger things have happened but I get the sense it’s more likely Putin dies and the whole thing kind of crumbles. That’s the likelier, although still entirely unlikely scenario.

It’d still be pretty nice to see less reliance on the US except global peace relies on more trust, not less. The US might need systemic reforms to get there, but even Russia looked like it could be an ally to EU prior to Putin, just all countries need better safeguards to avoid backsliding into authoritarianism. I’m not sure what those would be, but you can’t have global peace without addressing these countries.

I wonder what BlueSky is, given it’s somewhat like Lemmy’s pure “enough of this crap” attitude but a little too mainstream to be this jaded.
