That’s fucking amazingly hilarious(ly bad) but mostly just hilarious. The systemic enshittification of the entire concept of service jobs is basically complete at this point. As an anonymous, replaceable delivery drone nobody cares about your name not even the company employing you just, like, leave it empty it’ll use the default name or some shit and get to work, deliveries are waiting.
That’s wild, I’ll have to give that a try. Thanks for the link.
You can get multicolor filaments but probably not “mixed” in the way you’re imagining, like multicolor toothpaste as soon as you start using that, it would just mush into one combined color (and you probably could’ve just bought a nicer version of whatever color it combined into anyway).
Instead color is usually mixed along the length of the filament, gradually shifting color as layer after layer comes out, creating a multi-color gradient effect in the print. So-called “fast change” filaments change color quite quickly, transitioning to a new color as quickly as every few layers resulting in a “striped” appearance. “Slow change” filaments change more gradually, usually resulting in at most a two-tone or three-tone gradient except across very large/tall prints.
Filament changing for multi-color prints is also an option but requires either a complex and somewhat unwieldy filament unloading, switching and feeding apparatus or a tool-switcher or dual-extruders or other similarly advanced printer features.
The true opposition does not wear convenient colors and wave flags, the opposition is the people with power and money. Our opposition is not stupid. They played us well and make it feel like our fault. Democracy doesn’t matter when they only allow two choices and they control both choices.
Because fuck unions, amirite? Get back to work, peasants, the bankers want your loans paid back.
Steve Wozniak’s net worth is not definitively known,
They literally TOLD YOU THEY DON’T KNOW and you’re still listening to their estimates as if they’re fact.
but it is estimated to be around $100 million.
estimated BY WHO? AND HOW?
I have installed sunshine and moonlight on every computer I own and I use it so often I barely remember what computer I’m actually on anymore.
The point is that you isolate the VM after you get the file onto it but before running the potential malware. It’s not going to auto-execute, not if your Windows is patched and modern and up to date, we don’t live in the bad old days of floppy disks and CDs and USBs autorunning anymore (and for good reason).
If you are running a version of Windows (or anything) that is even capable of auto-executing code as it downloads, the malware you’re trying to test is the least of your worries because you’ll already have about a thousand other malware already running.
Your imagination is oversimplifying the process. It’s not “this morning I decided to be a terrorist so I signed up for jihad on their website and later that evening I was planting IEDs on tanks”. It’s a gradual process of recruitment and radicalization, testing and evaluation over months or years, with many intermediate steps and countless small tests of loyalty along the way as you work your way into the organizations and then up within them. Trust is not given it is earned. Your first “job” will probably be from someone who acts like they’re just being social and having conversations with you as a friend, and they’ll likely to encourage you to do something like parroting their propaganda on other places on social media, and as you do they’ll judge how well you follow instructions and how resourceful you are and might start giving you hints of other things you can do and see if you take the bait and judge how you react to those suggestions.
Might just be a local thing, but not really where I live. We see them off in the distance regularly, but like you said, mostly over the lakes and typically late in the evening or at night. Maybe it’s just a timing thing, or maybe it’s just the unobstructed horizon in Alberta, but I used to go out to Nose Hill in Calgary and watch huge storms what felt like every week or two. Here, I’ve enjoyed a few but subjectively feels like not nearly as many, nor as good a show.
PikaOS is Debian with the latest drivers and hardware and selective updates where needed. It’s basically perfect for me and I’ve been daily driving it on 3 different PCs (2 Nvidia 1 AMD) for more than a year now with zero regrets or significant issues. I did pop into the discord with a few speed bumps and questions that were quickly answered.
Yeah there is a lot of VPN astroturfing that goes on, and lots of comments do sound like ads (sometimes I even make such comments myself, and I’ve never been paid by anybody). But in this case the comment is literally just answering OP’s pretty specific request with relevant factual information. It doesn’t sound like an ad. Maybe it is, I can’t confirm or deny that, but it doesn’t sound like one.
During the 2008 crisis, QE made the debt a problem for some people.
I read this as “Queen Elizabeth made the debt a problem for some people” and was struggling to figure out what she had done or said in 2008 that influenced this, before I eventually realized you meant “Quantitative easing”
All I know is that I’m getting real tired of this Matrix / Idiocracy Mash-up Movie we’re living in.
So like, is this whole AI bubble being funded directly by the fossil fuel industry or something? Because the AI training and the instantaneous global adoption of them is using energy like it’s going out of style. Which fossil fuels actually are (going out of style, and being used to power these data centers). Could there be a link? Gotta find a way to burn all the rest of the oil and gas we can get out of the ground before laws make it illegal. Makes sense, in their traditional who gives a fuck about the climate and environment sort of way, doesn’t it?
I read these websites because I’m also a human and I enjoy experiencing the ideas of my fellow humans first-hand, not filtered into a boring puree or boiled down essence. I have always enjoyed reading things written by actual humans, because I can connect intellectually and emotionally with the actual real live person behind the ideas, and learn and grow with them as they also do the same, and I expect that enjoyment will continue if not intensify in the coming years as AI buries such signals in ugly soulless noise.
There will always be an appetite for real human creation. The hard part will be reliably finding it. I will be relying heavily on my finely tuned bullshit detector to work as an AI detector for now, and I can only hope that it will be enough.
Dessalines makes a relatively good piece of software for completely the wrong reasons, but he won’t stop us from using it for our own purposes and we don’t have to acknowledge him as the “leader” of the community just because he runs the software project. That said, I’m also glad we have alternatives like Piefed, in case he tries to enshittify us out, we have alternatives.
Southern Ontario, and as a top 5, I miss the thunderstorms, the easy access to nature and the beauty of its expansive landscapes, how quickly road work gets done (working at night? more than 1 hour a week? you’d think these guys don’t even have a union or something…) the privatized government registry system and the general efficiency and lack of bureaucracy, and the best damn drinking water in the world.
There are many things I miss about Alberta. This isn’t one of them.
As a Canadian, be careful what you wish for. Russia thought they could take over Ukraine in a 3 day special miliitary operation and 3 years later their military and economy is in ruins. Then look back at how Russia’s invasion of Finland went. Simo Hayha sends his regards.
It doesn’t matter how “elite” your military equipment is or how many billion dollars it is worth, a war is fought by boots on the ground and the geography favours the defender. If you thought fighting arab insurgency in the desert or asian insurgency in the jungle was difficult, consider how difficult it’s going to be fighting against an insurgency that fluently speaks your language and looks indistinguishable to you in the great white north. Trump should stick to golf.
