I have a very cynical reason. If you look at what most religions say about it (against), you have to wonder why they all agree on it and it seems to me that if you off yourself, you’re not supporting the team. When there weren’t many humans, you really needed a bunch of team players on your religion making more babies, and the dead ones can’t carry out your crusades.

Now we put capital above religion, but it’s the same thing: we need workers for our factories. We need babies to become workers for our factories. Dead people can’t make cars or babies.

I don’t care for a lot of what Apple does, but there’s no denying they understand how to make money–and how to avoid losing it.

Thirded. Immich has no right to be as good as it is after such a short time. Completely took down my google photos, finally, and I still have face recognition, word search and automatic backup from my phone.

My favorite thing I’ve done with hass is put a color-changing light bulb by my front door. It’s connected to the weather forecast. I know what the weather will be at a glance without a website or going outside. (Where I live, it’s not always obvious when I’m gonna get rained on.)

Mostly it’s just CYA for google since cycling is more dangerous than driving (due to the people driving), so there’s more surface area for them to get sued.

But yeah

• turns and crossings that look safe on a map don’t have very much data on whether they’re actually safe, because google has a thousand times as much information about drivers than cyclists.
• google sometimes suggests routes that can’t be traversed, legally or at all, by a bike. Same reason.
• sometimes google suggests avoiding something a bike doesn’t actually have to worry about. This is actually the category of error I see the most: google sends you around something when you could simply walk your bike through it, or ride through it, because you’re not a car.

Heck yeah hook us up

The objection about a “finite planet” is about capitalism, not currency. A 100% communist system can still have fiat currency and function perfectly well, the two aren’t even related.

It’s capitalism you don’t like, not money.

I probably will eventually.

I am slightly ashamed to admit the reason I’m not going to consider pop os is the stupid way they write it: Pop!_OS.

I’m already running 11 Linux VMs (and 3 bare metal Linux OS’s) in my homelab so I think I’ve got plenty of Linux here anyway.

Well another medieval thing we’re bringing back is not learning history

Fucking guillotines already

Brave of you to say this

Examples:

• Black Knight (2001)
• arguably, A Knight’s Tale (2001) if you consider it sufficiently funny (big year for anachronistic knights)
• All of the Ice Age films I guess
• Year One (2009)

there’s actually tons of these.

Blood bending to kill anyone who’s near enough to see me using it (as soon as they look away)

Absolutely none of this is true.

1. Alzheimer’s is only one specific disease that leads to rapid mental breakdown. There are many forms of senility, all of which including Alzheimer’s become more likely as you get older, which means that
2. There is absolutely a strong correlation between age and degraded mental facilities. If I gave you three citations I’d be leaving out hundreds more citations.
3. There won’t be a scientific breakthrough that doubles the average lifespan of every human on earth. There are so many flaws with this idea it’s exhausting just to think about it.
4. Mandatory retirement ages are in use all over the place. Judicial appointments have this in place already in 18 states. Executive boards can legally have this rule in place as well. Any situation where old age in a job is a safety issue creates an exception in the form of an unmet bona fide occupational qualification. I would definitely argue that old men who create policy for hundreds of millions of people create a safety risk for those people if they aren’t mentally qualified to do the job.

Not just retirement, put them in a machine that extrudes protein paste and use that to feed the next crop of legislators.

If you retire early, you don’t get put in the machine.

Wild, so it would suggest that the actor wasn’t Chinese at all. An authentic Chinese person probably wouldn’t choose a name that sounded like that, any more than I would name myself Sean MacBerkowitz, it would just sound wrong.

A random name generator might produce something like this, of course, if it wasn’t programmed to be too picky.

It is not. This is deeply unethical.

If a company takes its stock public, the shares sold generate cash which is held by the company selling them, and used to build the business. Nobody who bought them, including the insiders, is really forbidden from selling them (except insofar as insider trading laws apply), but if an insider sells shares this early it indicates a deep distrust by the seller of the underlying value of their own company. Doing so while letting outside investors spin is therefore unethical because it signals that the people who built the company are planning to abandon it and let the stock tank.

See also: lock-up period, which is not required during an IPO (news to me!) but the absence of a lock-up period sure seems like a red flag someone should have noticed. Although, I suppose, many people did.

Wait, they’re leaving their users holding the bag? Who could have predicted this
