Yes, it is never complete, but you have to compensate for that. Otherwise you kinda end up with a map of openstreetmap coverage quality rather than whatever you were trying to research.

This doesn't compensate at all for mapping coverage, which makes it really bad data.

It will bring money to rich assholes running various luxury businesses, and might bring up real estate prices which benefits rich assholes who own a lot of land.

There was very very little to complain about with her.

  • Promising full military support to a settler colony currently committing a genocide using US weapons
  • Campaigning with fucking Cheneys and pandering to fascists
  • Not promising any actual support for trans people, stopping at "I will follow the law"
  • Abandoning universal healthcare push
  • Not being actually voted on by anyone, instead just appointed by DNC
  • Most importantly: she's a neolib, and the working class has been suffering materially due to neolib policies for the past 50 years, people want change

There is a shitton to complain about her. If you are knowingly pushing the idea she was a good candidate you're a genocide enabler.

I would've voted for her if I was in the US (because the alternative is slightly worse in many ways). But, moral qualms aside, it's crazy to just shove a status-quo establishment neoliberal and expect people who are surviving paycheck-to-paycheck due to that very ideology to be excited about it.

Apps on a modern Linux system are supposed to follow this spec. Not following it is considered a bug, same as if apps used any other spec-defined filesystem directory incorrectly (e.g. imagine putting config files in /lib or something).

BTW by default neither of these other people will get notified by your comment.

I really hope "morging continvoucly" becomes a meme and is used to mock microsoft forever

It is logistically impossible for an entire country of 300 million to do that in any reasonable timeframe.

The only two options going forward are: (1) abandon SSNs as a method of identity verification and switch to something better, (2) drown in continuous scams and identity theft forever.

Since the former requires a government that is competent at governance and a population that can adapt to basic administrative changes, the US is now stuck with the latter for the foreseeable.

I am not 100% convinced, hence the "may".

Even if that happens (which is not an inevitability, since China historically has been doing things quite differently from the US), it is no worse than status quo. Until then, unless you are an active threat to China, and are planning on visiting it, you don't have to worry about it.

Sooo, same as right now, but with way less possibility to be used against me? Sign me up!

It can provide you some information that looks similar to what you'd want. Whether it is correct is another question.

RAG can help to a degree but hallucinations still happen quite a bit.

Stop using Github! codeberg.org is right here. Or if you're into simpler web 1.0-like things, there's also git.sr.ht (but it is ran by someone who may be a pedo).

Yeah sure, this movie with 1.3 rating and 5 (out of 100) metascore, with only 50k ratings, is the #1 movie this week. The algorithm is really transparent and trustworthy, clearly there's no manipulation going on.

(for those who don't know, IMDb is owned and operated by Amazon)

 

This is my daily driver at the moment - X201s modded with a 51nb motherboard with i7-10710u (a.k.a X2100). A lot of geo nerd cred to whomever can guess the location by the mountains :)

I liked posting a picture here so I think I will try to do it weekly :)

This is what the dawn of January 1st 2025 looked like for me. We've slept in my van through the night to get this view. The temperature was about -20℃ but it was worth it in the end.

The flats in the picture is the frozen Lake Paravani and the mountains are the Samsari ridge.

Since today is my first cake day, I've decided it's time to post instead of commenting. This is a picture I took last month on my phone through binoculars. Taken from Gomismta, the mountains you see are the Main Caucasian Ridge.
