Yes but to be fair, the death rate of staying home was also high

Yeah and they are getting to a point where there isn’t much growth to be had.

Which is why I think he wants Venezuela and Greenland, I honestly think the US is kind of broke.

If that keeps the party going, then unfortunately some will keep investing.

Hence why it’s actually critical not to just give him Greenland, making it hard will have an impact.

I agree. That show was a very good insight into rich people and their mentality.

Even though it was hard to watch at times, it was worth the watch cause of the insight.

They truly live in their own bubble that ensures only like minded people stay there

Tap for spoilerIn fact the whole point of the show was how ruthless Logan was and that his children were stuck between a rock and a hard place. They could never leave that life cause they are so used to the luxury, although Connor gave a decent try.

They could also never be as ruthless since they had a decent amount of humanity left.

So even with all their money and luxury, they ended up feeling very unfulfilled and like a failure.

Yeah but this also means they will shit on AI companies in a few years (I hope).

Cheetah, what seems like an apex predator but is actually close to extinction.

Crab, the magnum opus of evolution.

The result will only be cheetah like for a few generations until it reaches perfection once more

Ironic for a company that recently made Andor.

You might have already heard its praise, but I wanted to add that it’s not just a political thriller, it’s about fascism. More specifically, it’s about the dilemma of doing nothing and pretending everything is fine or doing something even if it means using the tools of your enemy.

Senator Mothma’s speech at the end was creepily relevant, you just need to replace palpatine for another name.

What about a system that works like torrents under the hood and every time you went to watch something you just download it with an expiry date?

You just need a metadata system like lemmy so people can find the videos, and once they decided to watch it, it downloads it for them via the torrent protocol.

The only disadvantage is that it won’t be streaming but let’s be honest, streaming isn’t a huge advantage for shorter clips + high bandwidth (which you need for streaming anyway).

You can also further optimize it by making each video cut into 5 min chunks so you can always download the first one and start watching sooner.

The only drawback, like others mentioned, is that it works best with a savvy user base instead of just spoon feeding you and giving you little control (which apparently people just love these days).

I always saw it as our minds considering all possibilities.

To add to that, those saying yes are acting almost materialistically, “why not have more when it’s free”.

I am genuinely curious what percentage of the mainstream population is willing to pay for AI.

Something tells me we are finding out soon.

An ad that actually tells you some info after asking for info is honestly refreshing

Finally the AI innovation we were promised.

Enshitification speed run.

To add insult to injury, what they call it, Deutschland, sounds like what we should call Netherlands

 

Even though the country wasn’t so bad after Dabya, imo it’s honestly where it all went wrong in the modern era. And it all started with a corrupt person who should have stayed in the private sector.

It all came down to: there isn’t a law forbidding it so there is opportunity

 
 
 

Hi,

I’m trying to find a way to have my iPhone’s photos be automatically (or even manually) backed up/synced with my home server.

I heard about photo prism here and got it up and running, however I could not find a free app that lets you sync. Photo sync is their main recommendation and it puts high quality photo backup behind premium.

Is there any solution that lets you backup your photos through home wifi?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: thanks to the suggestions, I found this handy chart listing many and comparing them: https://meichthys.github.io/foss_photo_libraries/

Just thought more people should know about this cause… CGP Grey is awesome.

Sorry to post something that should be in the you should know community… but that’s in lemmy.world which would take this down.

Please let me know if I should post this somewhere else.

 
 

Hi,

I recently built a new gaming computer and have been contemplating about the OS.

I prefer to move away from windows given obvious reasons and do like using Linux, but my experience with my steam deck has taught me that pirating games in Linux is hit or miss.

I played around with windows LTSC and honestly, seems like windows without the bloatware.

So question is, how is game pirating on Linux (in a desktop, not steam deck).

Is it as smooth as windows or should I just say fuck it and accept that my gaming computer has to stay windows for another generation?

 

I’ll see myself out.

 

They are honestly both good, but can’t beat the native ios experience.
