I quit streaming services around 4 months ago, determined the exact maximum streaming quality every device I own can handle, used a $60 used office PC from craigslist, admittedly I haven’t fully figured out how to get subtitles to work without transcoding, but I just need to sit down and figure it out at some point. I direct stream all of my content from a 10+ yr old PC and it uses less than 5% cpu while watching a 4k movie. I could stream to easily 5-10 PC’s and still likely be able to do software maintenance on the PC at the same time. That and with how jellyfin looks like a streaming service, with no transcoding it’s better than any streaming service. Nearly every streaming service you use is transcoding on the fly instead of storing 20versions of each video for direct streaming, direct streaming a previously encoded asset will always deliver a higher quality viewing experience.

Me forgetting AI can be used for such things: “dang that was a well written email, and how clever to turn it into a bullet point so quickly, better up my game…”

The problem with any currency in our current state is 2 fold:

1. The people that already have too many assets can simply buy a bunch of the currency and fuck with it. Roller coaster that shit.

2. A small group of dedicated individuals with a large sum of money together could perform a similar attack.

3. This is an extra specifically for crypto that I happened to notice while angrily trading btc, doge, and ethereum, they are heavily traded by algo’s, you can crash them by repeatedly buying on a dip, then selling for a minor gain. The algo’s see it as pattern trading and alter their trades to try and recoup losses, the price goes down. Most stocks are not currently as easily manipulated in this manner. Most stocks if you get a gain of a few cents, algo’s will see it as a stock paying out, and will pile into it meaning after you sell for a profit the price keeps going up… Which stinks, but it’s doing that because you made a profit, and likely the movement would be different if you hadn’t made profit, if you took a loss, the algo’s might see it as people are giving up and try to pile in shorts so the price further sinks… My point over all is; having a finite resource of any kind as currency is dangerous because a small group of people already have a majority of the current limited resources and there’s nothing stopping them from simply buying up the new limited resources when it’s available. As Argentina is finding out… Also young currencies have inherent liabilities to them like loop holes people can use to get gains or losses when gains or losses are not due.

Los Angeles Police raided a wedding today in hopes of capturing several God Fathers of a famous mafia family. You don’t hear about that, like at all in the United States anymore. Because innocent people were getting hurt, and it was deemed too costly on multiple fronts including public opinion of simply traumatizing newly weds to capture someone you can nab when they leave the wedding, same with funerals. But the Israeli’s do not see the Palestinians as humans, so there is no such hesitation on their part, and the world has yet to do jack fucking shit to reel in their rabid leaders, so apparently the world doesn’t see the Palestinians as people unlike the relatives of mafia bosses.

New tech is always more expensive. So this is a dumb headline. Keep advancing it, selling it, and using it, and it will get better and cheaper over time. Removing carbon and the slew of chemicals that are too heavy to float off the earth is a requirement because they don’t just go away…

Just try using AI for a complicated mechanical repair. For instance draining the radiator fluid in your specific model of car, chances are googles AI model will throw in steps that are either wrong, or unnecessary. If you turn off your brain while using AI, you’re likely to make mistakes that will go unnoticed until the thing you did is business necessary. AI should be a tool like a straight edge, it has it’s purpose and it’s up to you the operator to make sure you got the edges squared(so to speak).

“Well the 60yr old man that blew his body out working hard jobs to raise his family that are now unable to buy homes despite graduating college with tech degrees, can just rejoin the work force with his withering body and broken psyche.” -Evil probably

His net worth is NOT how much money he is net positive. All his net worth means, is he has hundreds of billions of assets, it says nothing for the debt load he is holding onto, nor how much of his assets are already leveraged. With how throughly he has obliterated xitters ad income when it was being sold because investors were unhappy with ad income already being too low, it looks like ol Elon might have found a sure fire way to turn a billion into a million, and somehow people keep loaning him money… Have they checked who else has their financial interests vested in assets he “owns” or when you have that much stuff do they just assume no one else is using it for collateral… Just be interesting if suddenly his entire fortune went up with a puff of smoke because the debt load was too high and one of his investments went further sour causing a cascade similar to a short squeeze, just encapsulated entirely on elon musk and his assets being liquidated…

But for whom will the AI be turned against? Is this their solution to armed civilians taking back the country from both parties using gorilla warfare? By using AI do they hope to remove the advantage civilians would have in “hit and run” assaults on military targets? Why keep increasing the edge of military capabilities unless you are preparing for a really massive enemy?

Gemini sounds like me in my 20’s “don’t talk trouble, won’t be trouble”

If someone put journalists email in every single email distro, and it stayed there past an upgrade so no one knew who did it, and every single internal memo was simply sent to a news reporter… That would be so damn funny. You know they got email distro’s with thousands of emails… Wouldn’t have been hard todo 2-3 yrs ago…

They’re an idiot. You taught me a new word! Keep it up.

They’ve been monitoring me the better part of my life, at this point I’ll fight them to the death if they ever have the nuts to actually show their face. You don’t push people as long as they have without severe repercussions.

THERE ARE!!! FOUR ROWS!!!

Here’s how you can do what he wants to do:

1. Eat whatever your body tells you, but keep to not eating 1 hr before bed, and make sure to keep protein, nutrients, and minerals you need thru pills/smoothies.
2. 5 days a week minimum 1 hr walk.
3. Poop daily. There’s exercises to help, but a 1 hr walk should get you moving.
4. That’s really it, you will reduce your biological age because the weak old cells die during exercise. -get to it chubby.

The problem with being the police of the world, is the police by their very existence allow for an imbalance to exist in the world. The haves, and the have nots, regardless of social system police are required so hoarding of resources can be maintained. Some also protect law and order, but it’s obvious the first use is heavily used by the 1%. So when we are policing one countries invasion, and not another, we are tipping our hands as the police for one specific group, while actively paying for the destruction of another - Palastine/Ukraine.

In the current landscape of the distro wars, admitting you just jumped sides is grounds to call forth the raiders from your old distro, they know the distro specific vulnerabilities and will unleash a fury of which you have never seen. The first sign will be a blinking hard drive light…

This will continue to happen until someone bigger than the US gov steps up to bat and drops feds on their asses in a pile when they try to arrest them. The day is coming, I’m looking forward to the news reports of federal officers being carried unconscious onto either a grassy area, or just a pile in front of the building, and being told if they try again they die. I want to see feds crying like the little bitches they are…

People are sleeping under bridges while they work 40hrs a week… Wtf did you people vote for? I famously abstained entirely for lack of a quality candidate. I’d vote for myself, but I won’t be responsible for their shit cannery.

A fairly large percentage of straight people definitely have mental illness. Likely the same ones that will be saying the same thing about gay/trans.
