Oh, there was nothing decent about Kamala. There used to be, but she burned all that on the sacred pyre of centrism.

Still a better choice than the demented toddler, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Yeah, honestly, stuff like this is just telling the world that you don’t know what acting is.

What if an actor comes out as non-binary? Are you suddenly convinced that every character they’ve ever played is non-binary?

Are gay actors not allowed to play straight characters?

Do actors have to be exactly the same age as the characters they portray? What about when the actor gets older? Does that retroactively make all of their characters older?

I know they’re doing this as a bit, but it’s bad bit that reinforces stupid ideas about trans actors. Let trans people portray whoever the fuck they want to portray and stop turning it into a whole thing.

For fucking what? What good have “random” (read: motivated by the officers biases) searches ever done for public safety?

You can also set these limits in your compose file, if you use compose (which you should).

Most of those containers are probably grabbing more memory than they actually need. Consider applying some resource constraints to some of them.

Dozzle is an excellent addition to your docker setup, giving you live performance graphs for all your containers. It can help a lot with fine tuning your setup.

Absolutely fucking terrible protection racket if that’s what it is.

The US spends 7tn per year on government spending. Even if the entire UN ponied up a billion each, every year, that would be less than 200bn in additional revenue. Not nothing, but barely a fraction of the 5tn in tax revenue the US government takes in every year.

That’s like the mafia hitting you up for $50 a month.

The secret is to never prepare anything.

One key thing that our research into PTSD has found is that soldiers are far less likely to experience it when they understand what it is they’re doing and why they’re doing it. This means both at the large scale operational level, and the small scale tactical level.

“You’re holding this trench so that our sister company can safely withdraw” is a lot more motivating than “You’re holding this trench because orders are orders.”

And yeah, at the operational level, the people fighting a war want to believe that it has a purpose. That they’re doing good. That their suffering will make other people’s lives better.

Hard to believe that when you’re mostly just murdering innocent civilians.

A detail that I think needs to be clarified there; OpenAI doesn’t actually have the money for those datacentres. What they’re doing is convincing other people to spend money building datacentres, by promising that any day now they’ll have so many people paying to use their services that of course they’ll need more compute capacity than is currently on the entire planet just for their business alone, yeah, just trust me bro, it’s a sure fire bet, you can’t lose.

And in turn, those investors are signing these big “letters of intent” that say “Yes, absolutely, we are building 100 billion dollars of compute, and don’t worry about the fact that right now all we’re doing is spending $10million on buying some land and doing a few feasibility studies because it definitely absolutely will be 100 billion very soon and that will make ten trillion in profit and we’ll break the universe with how rich we are.”

And then US government goes “Here is 10 billion in tax breaks just for saying you will do this thing, you get to keep it even if you never actually spend any money.”

And then all the shareholders have a mass collective orgasm and money just spews out of their wallets.

It’s scams on scams on scams the whole way down. The whole thing is just juicing share prices.

But what about the zero people who used it? Whatever will they do?

The medal doesn’t even mean anything. It’s like buying a purple heart at an auction; doesn’t make you a veteran. Of course, Trump would never understand that.

You, uh… You do know how absolutely fucked that is right? That you guys don’t have voting in prisons, that you can prevent convicts from voting?

Like, when you’re asking yourself “How did we get to the point where our president is openly flirting with cancelling elections?”, some of that is that you guys accepted as normal levels of anti-democratic behaviour that most democratic nations consider you absolutely insane for endorsing.

In Canada we literally set up polling stations in the prisons. You can be a serial killer doing multiple life sentences, you still get the right to vote. That is a bedrock, fundamental right that no one, especially not the government, ever gets to take away from you.

Maybe if the US treated voting rights in the same way, you might be a little less fucked up right now.

The thing is, OpenAI have been 18 months from running out of money since this bullshit all kicked off. Unfortunately, investors keep throwing piles of money at them.

That’s too simplistic a reading of how Trump behaves.

Trump is a liar and a conman. That much is true, and proven. He is, in many ways, one of the biggest liars in the world.

But he’s also really bad at it. Trump is, beneath everything else, a walking ball of id. He is a textbook example of what you get when insecurity and instant gratification meet. He is pure, unbridled impulse. And he’s really, really stupid. As a result of that, he has a very, very strong tendency to constantly say the quiet part loud. You see this time and time again. The GOP will concoct some elaborate lie to explain what they’re doing, and then Trump will just blunder into the room and openly admit what’s really happening. Because he can’t stop himself.

To be super reductive about it (it is more complicated than this, but we don’t have all day), a good rule of thumb is that if Trump tells you what he wants, he’s speaking from the heart. It’s when he tells you why he wants it that he’s usually lying. Not always - “It’s psychologically important to me” is so nakedly earnest, and so utterly damning, that it’s impossible to believe anyone would concoct it as a lie - but often enough. But when Trump says “I want…”, whatever follows will usually be the truth. He is ruled by his desires, and has no ability to keep himself from spouting them openly.

The intelligence is all over the papers my dude. Diplomatic talks between the US and Denmark keep breaking down because he keeps demanding they hand over Greenland. The US committing war crimes daily. They just kidnapped a sitting head of state. Trump has openly said that he does not consider himself to be bound by any form of international law or obligation. The US withdrew from several hundred international organizations and agreements (basically everything they were party to that wasn’t a trade agreement). Trump and members of his admin have repeatedly affirmed that military options are on the table as far as Greenland is concerned. Trump let slip that his primary reason for wanting to annex them is that “It’s important, psychologically, to me” (read “I need to map paint in order to feel like my useless and pathetic grift of a life actually meant something.”)

What more do you fucking want?

PUT. OUT. A. TORRENT.

Jesus Christ my dudes, this is exactly the sort of thing bittorrent is for.

Do they have to edit your domain into a connections file or some such

Pretty much. I don’t remember the exact details, but that’s close enough for the cat.

Sure thing bud.

If you can’t convince people to show up with signs and whistles, how do you plan on convincing them to show up with baseball bats?

You can’t build a revolution out of nothing. You have to start by building a movement.
