You would need some real insurance that others were commuted to vote 3rd party no matter what. Otherwise the real benifit is just getting to that 5% mark where third parties get some bennies like federal funding and automatic ballot access in some places. Which is minor vs say stopping a campaign of vengeance from a candidate who has acted feloniously already and has abused his position to black bag political opponents before.

John Browns Body.

I think we would be better off with any rotting corpse over Trump, but old John at least fought for something good once

I do love the idea of seeing team trump trash talk Peterson because he isn’t a true believer anymore

Full scale mass surveillance capitalism. Governments used to have to hire agents, dress them up, and have them bug peoples phones. Now they can just buy it in bulk. No warrent, no black site op, just cashing checks.

Dude the phone “app” is 100% on the list for me too.

As a stop gap between good web design including PWAs it made sense at a time, but 99% of apps are just bloated websites that data and power for no noticeable gains…

I do think its possible but my bet is more on the probability that it will be leveraged to commodify and further alienate labor so that that power can be leveraged less.

The tools used to align the machines is where that power would reside in. A kind of church caste for the machine with the purpose of giving meaning.

I mean he’s right. A system where ubi is just handed out to placate the unenpowered is a recipe for disaster.

We NEED real power, including economic. Why would your vote matter if the military doesn’t need you, why would your purchasing power matter if you don’t produce anything, etc. People may have intrinsic worth but intrinsic worth doesn’t the levers of power pull.

K3s! You could even reuse your pis in the cluster.

I would deploy it to your new server, setup your CSI (e.g longhorn its pretty simple), find a helm chart for one of the apps and try deploying it.

More comforting than the alternative. Its one reason why when material conditions worsen people faith goes up.

Me too. I mean heck I built an EV in highschool as part of a class (a barely road legal one seated but still). They really do represent an opportunity for BETTER right to repair and home mods.

Had a VM that batch processed files but some reason a couple of the files comming in was causing the procedure to crash and Gigs of files to get clogged.

I was moving big chunks of those into the host tmp Dir (only place I knew was ok to throw rand stuff) to try and catch the offending files. TMP was actually a RAM disk, so I filled all availability memory and crash the HOST system (including multiple other critical VMs) and lost weeks of data (because you know I put it in a RAM disk …).

Desktop computers. I know more people that don’t have access to a full computer now than I did as a kid, with smart phones filling most of that niche for people.

I miss them though, easy to maintinace, upgrade and tinker with. I love listening to old heads talk about early computing too where you were expected to really program for the hardware too.

Old websites or services you just ran at home like email, bultin boards, mumble, etc.

Cars you could work on at home. EVs ironically represent a potential to return us to that time because the extreme tolerances to make high mpg ICE just isn’t there, but most manufactures seem intent to add complexity and black box controllers to prevent that.

Maybe I say thisas someone that can’t find my own stuff around my house lol

For sure. Though you can never really know. I look at death statics for my age and area every once in a while to adjust my risk taking or too see what health concerns I should be prepping for.

Knowledge is half the battle and all

I do DevOps engineering, but to most family I just say computers which means I am an expert at everything online and can help make an app for their phones or make crypto.

Luckly managing expectations IS part of my job lol

I’m always amazed when people know what shelves and aisles things are at off the top their head. I am asking 100% expecting people needing to ask some who runs that department or to check the system.

Songs by Pink! They normally got a good drive to them and sound great!

Knew a guy that did that, made some buisness cards and rented a lambo to pick up chicks. It worked shrug

I guess I see potential as systems become more digital that they have more potential to be interchangeable. Kind like how computers hardware is.

Comma is super exciting for the driving assistance parts!
