fwiw in the future you can find out the path to your drives and their uuid if needed with

lsblk -f

I didn’t realize that. That’s disheartening.

It’s hard for me to imagine 2024 not being the year they do.

I mean the physical design of the gun, not the projectile or effect.

I’m a simple man. Same answer for decades.

Someone somewhere is already planning how they will get people to work around the clock this way, and someone else somewhere is probably desperate enough to feed themselves or their family that they’ll take it when offered.

Yep. No reason not to think it isn’t just corporate greed again.

(from the article about the previous insane egg prices)

In absolutely unrelated news, eggs are suddenly incredibly expensive. A dozen “conventional” eggs are currently averaging $2.88, which is double what they cost a year ago. Supposedly, this is caused by a supply chain shock (an avian flu outbreak).

But – and this will shock you, I know – the single company that dominates the US egg industry, Cal-Maine Food (AKA CALM – ugh) is making record profits. Their Q3/22 net was up 65% from the year before. Cal-Maine’s Q4-22 sales were up record-smashing 110% – $801.7m:

Far too easy to eat the onion in these modern times.

Well fuck all those artists and writers who made the original works then I guess. Licensing is impractical.

Plasma 5 made me a KDE user and fanboy. I am super excited to see what 6 will bring.

KDE team, you rock.

So then we as a society aren’t ready to untangle the mess of our infancy in the digital age. ChatGPT isn’t something we must have at all costs, it’s something we should have when we can deploy it while still respecting the rights of people who have made the content being used to train it.

The reinstatement came after notable users such as George Galloway, a former member of the British Parliament, called out Musk for banning the accounts.

(Update at the top of the article)

Sorry, my joke generating subroutine has not been updated since the time that the rocket scientist idiom you mention was popularized.

😁

But the idiom isn’t “it’s not AI” it’s “it’s not rocket science.” 😉😁

Maybe the smartest people in the room are the ones we least expect.

I mean, they are a bunch of rocket scientists. That’s the group everyone has expected to be the smartest people in the room for about a century. 😁

Are we allowed to say he’s gone mask off yet?

From a capitalist perspective it’s ideal if your workers are on the verge of poverty, living paycheck to paycheck. That’s exactly where you want them.

People in that situation won’t complain. Won’t stand up for themselves or their rights. Will take poor treatment and deal with it. Will work in unethical or even illegal ways and keep quiet because they have no choice.

Even better if you can tie people’s health insurance to their job, then you’ve really got them by the balls.

I’ve got a pretty decent job, and earn pretty good money. But I’m the only earner in a family of four and no, we haven’t made all the best financial decisions at times.

What you have described is exactly where we live, and while there isn’t that much I want to stand up to at work in the first place, 100% I don’t make any waves that don’t have a basis in the hard facts of my job, and for this very reason. I’d like to go in an ask for a merit based raise, I’d like to fight harder for more people to be hired in our (spread very thin) department, and there are a few other things I’d like to at least ask for and feel OK about standing firm on.

But I don’t, because I don’t want to jeopardize what I’ve got.

It’s true that I would not have put up with bullshit idiots in administration.

This is, on some level, exactly what they are worried about.

I wonder what their punishment will be. Do you suppose they’ll need to dig change out of only one sofa, or two?

I use Sonixd as the frontend to my Navidrome server, and it’s the bees knees.
