  • It's literally unclickable in Interstellar - the link is gray and cannot be tapped.

  • And for me, neither links work, so I'll just say that both sides are assholes.

  • Oh fuck off. ChatGPT doesn't "think", and if you run to it to get an opinion, neither do you.

  • Because without those visas, the non-American talent can't be employed, and the US simply doesn't have the local talent to fill those spots.

    Which means companies will have only one way to keep up with the talent demand: employ it abroad. Which reduces the amount of tax paid to the US government, the amount of money that circulates in the economy, and so on.

  • You can either pay for a service, or that service will utilise every single aspect of it to monetise you.

  • fuck gay people

    Don't mind if I do...

  • Of course it won't.

    Just like how restoring the various production pipelines after the initial COVID lockdown shocks did nothing to grocery prices - because the prices didn't go up due to actual hardship, it was all down to corporate greed. As it is right now.

    Any reduction in the tariffs will be seen by corporates as a freebie, all the while they get to blame Trump (or even more likely, Biden) for it.

    I mean ffs did any of y'all look at the various grocery corpo earnings in 2020-2023? Did y'all not see the massive bonuses handed out to the big bosses, while people were being laid off "due to economic hardships"? Did everyone just fucking forget that part? Or the part where prices could've come down, but they didn't?

    Base necessity foods - and thanks to the past 30-50 years of general improvements in living conditions, that category has been expanded quite a lot - simply won't correlate with the "supply and demand" myth of the "free market". People will need to buy bread regardless if a loaf is 80c or $5, regardless if that loaf went from 1kg to 500g, or if the quality dropped sharply. People will need to buy eggs even if it costs ten times as much as it did just a year or so ago. Grocery prices never ever go down because people NEED to buy them, corporate knows this, and will milk the pricing of these items as much as they can.

    So all y'all can do, short of what most of your country would falsely call "communism" (things like price control on staple foods), is elect a fucking leader who'll do preventative measures against price raises. And if you're too big a dumbass to understand how tariffs work, maybe the right to vote is something you shouldn't have.

  • Damn, my dudes, next time give me a bit of a heads up, now I gotta run to the store on a Friday afternoon to stock up on popcorn and butter!

    May the MAGA meltdown be epic and entertaining.

  • The myth stands because the economy usually takes 2 to 4 years to catch up after major political changes.

    That was apparent under Biden as well as Obama. Hell, Obama inherited the whole 2007-2008 crash, and pulled the US out of it like no other county managed. Compared to W who literally got the singular most nation-uniting event dropped on his lap, and fucked it up so much that the US suffered the most from the dot-com crash...

    Donnie inherited Obama's good economy and within two years there were clear signs of him fucking shit up so bad... But people blamed Biden for it, because he inherited most of the shit, and only in the last year of his presidency did things begin to visibly improve.

    And don't forget, most people are morons and incredibly easy to mislead. Just how many denounce Biden's response to COVID when it was the orange shitsack who was President for most of it? And that's only been 5 years ago. You seriously expect the same idiots to remember the past 20-30-40 years? Or have enough reasoning skills to look at collated data going back a hundred years showing how policies affected the economy (specifically the economy the average people experiencing, not talking about the Fortune 500 doing well or some other crap metric)?

  • Did you not know that the hallmark sign of innocence is using every power you have - let it be real or perceived - to discredit and destroy and hide any and all evidence?

  • Portability is not really an aspect one needs to consider when it comes to a NAS. Performance hits? Z1 will have performance issues when running in a simple mirror (especially for writes), but with 4+ disks that reduces significantly.

    Sure scrubs will take longer on a multi-disk array, but again for a home NAS, the goal is maximising data storage capacity without a major hit on performance, ideally being able to saturate the most common gigabit LAN connection and have some more bandwidth available for local processing.

  • The real craziness is that some 97% of current US citizens (latest statistics put Native American population around 9.7 million, or approx. 2.9% of the population), are essentially children of immigrants. And the very same people boasting about being X percent German/Italian/Irish/etc., are now demanding that similarly immigrants to be deported? The whole American landscape of nationality/ethnicity and immigration status is just laughable.

  • You're incredibly wrong on your assumptions here.

    First of all, ZFS (the file system TrueNAS specialises for) is best used with at least 3-4 disks. The more the better. A dual disk setup for ZFS (or any other kind of RAID) is super wasteful.

    Second, no, 4TB won't be enough. You think it is today, but soon you'll be downloading media Linux ISOs and quickly realise that even 16TB is a stretch within a year.

    My recommendation would be going for at least 4x 4TB, but 3-4x 6TB or even 8TB would be probably preferred. And similarly, I'd rather overshoot the initial purchase rather than realise 6-8 months in that oops, the 2-4 disk system you got isn't enough... Even if you don't fill the bays, I'd recommend you go for at least a 4 bay system, but rather, for 6. Sadly, SOHO NASes aren't designed with easy expandability down the line.

  • Not really just short form, it's more of a take on video feeds rather than just the limited length quickcontent Vine was famous about.

    Obviously the focus is still on short(ish) content format, but I see more and more people transition to longer videos to deliver content. On YT/Facebook most videos I see nowadays are 10min or above.

  • Actually, no, the initial limit was precisely because of SMS character limits - Twitter in the first few years had an SMS gateway where you could send a text and it would be posted under your account.

    Obviously later on it was an arbitrarily kept limit, but the limit itself, even doubled, makes it a horrible platform for any kind of debate.

  • The whole idea behind Twitter (character limits etc.) was obviously a bad idea from the moment texting became obsolete thanks to IM services.
