@gedeonm@mastodon.social Here's an interesting blog post from a guy in pharma about how people are expecting AI to solve cancer and other diseases:

This looks promising, I’ll take a dive into it tomorrow. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion! I don’t see an option in the BIOS to turn off the secure boot to do anything other than booting into the USB (hopefully the below image actually works). Seems like something I should have turned off before I tinkered though. I’ll give balena a try and see if that can actually boot from the state its in.

It’s just ironic that you called PETA meat industry propaganda when the meat industry has spent ridiculous amounts of money to slander PETA so you would even have such a negative opinion. Their publicity activism is aggressive, annoying, and probably generally unproductive, but they aren’t some demonically evil organization like so many believe them to be. They’re just people.

What are you on about? What does that have to do with the fact that the vast majority of commonly spouted misinformation about PETA is pure propaganda? I don’t even like PETA, like I said, they’re abrasive and controversial. I think they hurt the message of animal rights activism more than help it. Two things can be true, they’re aggressive and annoying, as well as well-intentioned and commonly slandered.

That it’s so prevalent could also mean it’s worse than many people realize.

That book belongs in the hands of a thoughtful, strategic mind. Carefully select a target, watch what happens, then follow up similarly.

People were here for two things primarily: For entertainment, and they found that online To share in their passions with others. (And porn) It wasn’t about money. Nobody wanted to be a “streamer” or an “influencer”, they just liked X and wanted to go online and participate in X. People shared memes because they liked memes, or the website/community they shared them on, not because it brings you to their page where they can sell you something. People made flash games because they loved gaming and wanted to create something and share it. People made blogs and vlogs just to share what they’re up to. People made tutorials and guides because they were good at something and wanted to help others. Sure, many websites had to do things like run ads to pay the bills but it didn’t feel like every step you took you were bombarded by someone trying to make money.

I forgot for a hot minute that nightshades are a family of plant and had so many questions. Seriously though, that sounds really unfortunate 🥲

Unfortunately I don’t remember exactly what they were, something along the lines of being unable to find something and skipping it. Really kicking myself for not grabbing a couple pictures of it now…

and even worse to think that you deserve to be babied and pampered into doing so. Exactly this last line. Perpetrators of oppression and violence don’t have the right to chose how they’re criticized, protested, and eventually, hopefully, defeated.

To add to this: the state of being not a number is only relevant to a number. Everything that’s already not a number doesn’t need a specific value to represent this state.

idea: word to describe the phenomenon of [approving | agreeing with | supporting] something in concept, theoretically, or fundamentally but [disapproving | disagreeing | not supporting] the implemention or practice.

so yeah, I walked to the gas station to get some booze but the posted hours said they closed about 40 minutes prior. The cope internal monologue went something like: >Ah, it's a nice brisk evening, the stars are shining, all I needed was a walk then I remembered some bottle of ancient booze my aunt gave me. >I'm not going to drink it I told her I wasn't going to drink it either, little did I know about what the future held..... I made it back inside and checked where I stashed it, sure enough, a bottle in a wooden box with a cracked plexiglass cover >heh, break in case of emergency ts First I try to twist the top off, it's coated in some sort of polymer wax slime, that when I tried to remove with a knife the whole cap breaks off leaving the actual cork broken in the neck. >time to get the corkscrew cork was becoming closer to dust than cork at this point in it's life, I already knew the outcome of using a corkscrew, but I had to try. it crumbles as I pull out, whatever, I was going to probably throw it out or die with it in my storage. I turn it over to see if I could use the booze to push the cork out and only a few drops go into the sink I suddenly remember I am CHINESE I grab a chopstick from my chopstick mug I channel my chinese wigger and start working that cork out, and dump some booze to get the fragments cleared it's clear? I didn't expect that, I look again it's 40% huh look it up as I'm drinking it... not bad, didn't expect it to be drinkable Pear Brandy - "Grande Eau-de-Vie de Poire William: Reserve Speciale" After I read it was PEAR brandy I was like >Oh yeah this does taste like pear, so cool Thank you for reading my blog

I wish. I’ve been in a mental island of self-isolation forever. All parties, vanguard or rearguard, are in my head, and lame at that. I didn’t follow through with my resolution idea to become a Marxist in college. Big regret.

I always thought Ohio didn’t exist but this seems to imply that maybe there’s a black hole there instead. Tricking people into approaching it is just kind of mean.

@heidilifeldman@mastodon.social Buh-bye Bobo!

the problem with orgs is that is not tied to a few users. you need something scalable, higly reilable and with high availability. that costs more than a single instance (load balancer + mettered traffic + separated database + N number of deployments + s3 storage), plus you need to pay for the sysadmin/devops engineer who will deploy and maintain that. having that reduced for a single package in which you just pay per user… that reduces a lot. for small orgs or entities, what you propose makes sense, and their IT person could handle it. but not when you start having more than 10 concurrent users and their issues…
