  • The phony comforts of AI skepticism

    Jump

  • the most dangerous assumption either camp is making is that AI is and end-solution. Whre 8n fact it's just a tool. Like invented steam machines they can do a lot more than humans can but they are only ever useful as tools that humans use. Same here AI can have value as a tool to digest large chunks of data and produce some form of analysis providing humans with "another datapoint" but it's ultimately up to humans to make the decision based on available data.

  • Podman running container limits

    Jump

  • I'm not convinced what you run into is a specific podman issue. It's a resource issue and configuration issue likely. "vanila" podman with proper rootless containers will run as much workload as machine can handle from my experience. My company costomers seem to be running production workloads with it just fine.

    Oh wait, by rootless container you really meant running podman rootless? still don't see an issue though. What specifically are you doing? I mean, what's the configuration and what's the workload?

  • Half of Young Norwegians Say Online Piracy Is an Acceptable Way to Save Money * TorrentFreak

  • "afford fewer and fewer things" needs correction: most "things" are being turned into "services" so people end up owning nothing and being forced to overpay for "service" they never asked for

  • Half of Young Norwegians Say Online Piracy Is an Acceptable Way to Save Money * TorrentFreak

    Jump

  • you'd be one of few. Most people don't mind compensating others for services, but when services turn to extortion and lock-in with sub-par digital content players piracy becomes a lot more attractive. Not many can afford 4-5 subscriptions (with Prime you need sun-subscriptions too) and all of it's expense and complexity. Singular aggregate platform with a cost equaling today's single subscription cost would probably eliminate good chunk of "piracy". We can only watch so much in a day so given that streaming companies price things out and provision for that there's no more impact on them if multi-service subscription costs the same as a single-service and it will reduce need for piracy, as it's also a hassle to look for content and get all twitchy whether you going to get trojaned or swatted for doing so.

  • Facts:

    • POTUS45 knew it was a one-time grift so there are no repercussions for him for abandoning his electorate.
    • POTUS45 repeatedly stated his desire to help Israel and not even once hinted at idea of peace for Gaza.
    • Haris clearly was trying to evade direct answers to Gaza questions which left significant room for after-election change
    • Democrats suck (at messaging, at fighting back and at playing hard ball)
    • Putting up ultimatums in the middle of election is doomed to failure. I can't recall one instance where it was successful. I can recall however when existing administration, outside of election cycle, yielded to public pressure...

    so with just more obvious facts on the table the entire notion of giving Dems middle finger and literally helping Republicans win was not merely misguided but malicious. Being surprised by the outcome does not speak highly of people involved and their priority. If their priority was stopping the bloodshed they would've acted differently, by all means that priority was mainly middle finger to Dems.

    I am acutely aware that people are dying and between two administrations the difference is at what scale and whether public has any sway with administration. Present choice out of the gate pointed for larger scale suffering and no public input.

    US elections are not pragmatic - they are spectacle of emotions, which is why public elects showman.

  • Donald Trump Got Away With Everything

    Jump

  • Biden could've used Trump's own tool - presidential impunity and either fired judges or plain locked up Trump or worse, first: forcing republicans repeal the law, two eliminating threat, and three - potentially painted as villain in history. I still marvel at how little Dems care for "the idea" and how much they care about their own bottom line 🙁

  • Microsoft Teams is dog shit

    Jump

  • well, it's not just Teams and not just MS. Have you worked with Zoom lately? I do agree that Teams occupies that very special dark space in my heart right next to hate and loathing.

  • Trump wins a second term as Democrats search for answers

  • ...so whoever didn't vote Haris effectively voted trump... we've been saying it along that all of that moaning about Dems would lead to Rep win. here it is on display

  • Political ad ignites conservative anger over women possibly hiding their votes from their husbands

    Jump

  • gotta love conservative-minded crowd: they are all about "privacy", personal freedoms etc. but at the same time can't keep their hands out of others' pants (proverbially and literally) and are nosy about everything. Isn't voting a personal choice? If my spouse doesn't tell me who they vote for I'll just say it's their right and move on with my life... but not cons... noooooo. Gotta stick their noses everywhere

  • Kamala Harris Has More Billionaires Prominently Backing Her Than Trump—Warren Buffett, Bill Gates Weigh In (Update)

    Jump

  • that's not good news for her. Even in best case scenario when they do not want anything in return - optics will be that she's about billionaires and not commonfolk. Whereas POTUS45 supported by Koch brothers and such on a Qpaints him as folk hero... bad news to start, now we mix in the part where they want something in return... it gets worse yet.

  • then support for other parties should've been declared much earlier, never dangled like carrot in front of Dems, 'cause by now you should know it won't work. I get it. In present system there's very little chance of third party getting to power, but look at Canada - NDP was able to wield power with much lower representation. How? Minority government forces compromise and concessions. In other words it can be done, but work needs to start right after prior election, not before current

    FCC Republican opposes regulation of data caps with analogy to coffee refills

    Jump

  • funny that nobody argued opposite: all the new services are primarily streaming/hosted and otherwise "not here". New crop of tech solutions requires crap-ton of bandwidth. So caps prevent those companies from doing ripping off customers in other areas. How un-Republican is that? They are getting in the way of enterprises making a living! So the most Republican thing to do would be to let foxes watch the henhouse. Ask ISPs to regulate themselves so that "everybody"'s (and I mean every enterprise) happy. In other words getting in the way of this proposal is very much just "polid'ticking" trying to undo what dems are doing regardless whether it's actually a conservative thing to do or not.

  • ‘They will vote against Harris’: Arab Americans in Michigan desert Democrats over Gaza

    Jump

  • this was the first and only administration on my memory to openly support unions. They've done quite a few things to improve lives. They did help out their rich donors/friends/sympathithers but not even close to the scale POTUS45 done it.

    In all honesty both Dems and Reps should go. Country deserves pluralism and not the false duality. BUT right now, at this moment in time Dems are the only real shot at moving forward. After election, start up the grill and hold their feet to fire and FORCE them to change then otherwise rally behind any other party and make damn sure they win next ellection. Doing so at 11th hour is reckless
