SoylentBlake@lemm.eeto Technology@beehaw.org•Walgreens Replaced Fridge Doors With Smart Screens. It’s Now a $200 Million Fiasco.English5·6 months agoI like the cut of your jib.
I have flood lights outside I put together from fog lights, motion sensors and lux level sensors, just in case something comes up on us in the night. I’m off-grid and battery power is always at a premium, so usage sensors are a hedge I’m willing to make.
SoylentBlake@lemm.eeto Technology@beehaw.org•Walgreens Replaced Fridge Doors With Smart Screens. It’s Now a $200 Million Fiasco.English5·6 months agoHey thanks for fleshing that out for me. That takes me back, makes me think of sitting in my room listening to RATM I just downloaded and burned off Napster and defragging the computer.
I miss the Internet of old. Before everyone got on it. We had hope then
SoylentBlake@lemm.eeto Technology@beehaw.org•Walgreens Replaced Fridge Doors With Smart Screens. It’s Now a $200 Million Fiasco.English4·6 months agoIn tech, SMART is an acronym. I shit you zero nots, this is for real.
Self Monitoring And Reporting Technologies
Fuck SMART everything. I am fundamentally at odds with telemetry, what is it up to half our mobile data plans are lost to advertisers? W.t.f.
SoylentBlake@lemm.eeto MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works•Not believing that half of hexbear users are trans = transphobicEnglish0·6 months agoI commented one time on the bear that Ukraine has a right to self defense and self actualization and got flooded by 15 different users, all pro-russia, then banned.
Oooook. But that tracks I guess. I lean left and theres nothing I hate more than leftists, except fascists… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
SoylentBlake@lemm.eeto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•Is the World Becoming Uninsurable?English0·6 months agoDesantis expanded Florida’s State flood insurance, actually.
Don’t give him too much credit tho, he was forced too because every insurance provider for over half the state bailed, so he had too.
It’s also shitty insurance, from what I’ve read and filing a claim will most likely be worse than diy dental surgery. It will almost definitely be worse than Florida’s unemployment webpage, which is decidedly hostile, with obfuscated links, built-in and artificial long load times, and designed to be as unappealing as possible.
GOP “help” . With friends like these; who needs enemies, right?
SoylentBlake@lemm.eeto NonCredibleDefense@sh.itjust.works•A video has gone viral on Chinese social media calling for China to take advantage of Russia's weakened state and seized large pieces of its territory.English0·6 months agoChina has publicly included the loss of Manchuria to Russia in like 1905~ to be part of it’s great century of shame and that China considers it part of Greater China.
Expanding North beyond that into Siberia would open up the arctic ocean to them, which if nobody does anything, will only get more valuable as we heat up
SoylentBlake@lemm.eeto Global News@lemmy.zip•Honda and Nissan announce merger to form world's third largest car companyEnglish0·7 months agoI wonder how much of this is due, or is spurred on, regardless of the publicly stated corporate slop, pressure from their government as they are ramping up military production in hopes of making a Chinese attack cost more than it’s worth.
SoylentBlake@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Excuse the old man question, but if I buy an iPhone 16 Pro Max outright, with no carrier. I can set it up with my current carrier easily?English0·7 months agoThat’s why he said “old guy question”.
I graduated in 99. I can take cell phones apart and put them back together all day but ANYTHING to do with the carriers I have negative interest in. I would rather eat paint chips while listening to harpies screeching. I just can’t be made to care.
There’s always just some people, with everything, who just don’t fucking care and nothing will ever change that. With every subject.
With homeboy here, I would t spend 1300 on a phone. Ever. I’d go out, today at this point in history, and buy a used pixel 7 (or 8 if priced right), root it and put GrapheneOS on it, but that’s just me.
The only way to have money is to not spend it and very few things are worth feeling the despair that can come with being broke. At this point in my life, there’s nothing that I can think of that’s worth being broke over. Not one single thing out there.
SoylentBlake@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why is there so little discussion on the history of anti-terrorism statutes in the USA as they're being brought against Luigi Mangione?English0·7 months agoA hung jury just allows the prosecution to retry him
It’s up to the prosecutor if it’s worth the expense or not.
SoylentBlake@lemm.eeto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Peter Thiel Reveals How Scared Oligarchs Are Of The PeopleEnglish0·7 months agoThere’s a simple answer really, if you think eating the rich is the move, go into security.
If your in high school and you have ideations of the new American pastime, consider this first.
If yr fit, and aware there ain’t no war but the class war, join the military and make special ops. When yr time is done you’re a shoe in for private security to the elite. Not only that, but then ur trained up as well, and will know how to do it and not get caught. Will it be hard? Yep, but guess what, life’s hard, it supposed to be hard, otherwise what’s the point of it? What the fuck else you doing with your time? You think you’re gonna graduate and make a landing in the private sector? Buddy, that’s what everyone thinks and look around. People smarter than you can’t buy a house. I do not advocate defending a system that doesn’t defend you, but I canl suggest using the system as a means to your own ends. The system is working against us all but there’s still time to use the system to strike back from within. And if that means striking back with violence, then so be it. The law has shown itself to corrupt and hollow, not worthy of respect. With that goes the agreement that the government gets the monopoly on violence. They were supposed to use that to ensure life is fair for the rest of us, since they’ve abdicated, well, they put that ball in motion, not you, not me. They sold it out, we’re just calling the spade a spade. They’ll sacrifice everyone of us and our children before theyll accept even an inconvenience to their lives. We aren’t people to them, so don’t lose sleep over them.
The diseases of wealth are a cancer on our society
SoylentBlake@lemm.eetoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•House Passes Chilling “Nonprofit Killer” Bill With 15 Democrats Voting “Yes”English0·8 months agoFor real, the main tenet of fascism is the law only applies to whom power doesn’t like. Those in power will openly and flagrantly transgress the law because doing so and getting away with it validates their position in their eyes. The fear instilled by their use of violence to silence people disproportionately isnt a nuance to delegitamize, it’s a feature front and center on their brand.
Fascists don’t have morals. You can’t treat fascists like they were a normal group that respects social dynamics, because decorum only applies if both parties respect it. If one side decides to not play by the normal rules, then decorum will be used to hang you, because you are bound by it and predictable, easy to outmaneuver. The way to handle a fascist is the same as when you need to put the family dog down. It’s your duty. It’s not a joy, you take no pleasure in it, you make no speeches, you don’t waste time, just dispatch them. no monologues. End it. Fascism has to made afraid to show it’s face, or it’s going to eat all our faces.
So if I were to take one of them cars and drive out to the middle of nowhere in the desert where there’s no cell service, what’s it gonna do? Shut off once it’s roaming? Not start back up and strand me in 115° heat? I just want to be prepared for my lawsuit that’s all
SoylentBlake@lemm.eeto Technology@beehaw.org•Donald Trump Team Plans to Cancel Biden's $7,500 Tax Incentive On EVsEnglish4·8 months agoYet they want a blanket ban, and once concentration camps are up and we’re officially beyond the pale…and anything not that same shade of pale finds itself in those camps…I don’t think people are gonna want to emigrate here or any of the five eyes.
Letting the bankers take the wheel in the 80s has cannibalized the health of all Western society and commodified whatever was left.
We were told to worship no one other than God/the source/the creator/the allfather/the universe/the truth/whatever you want to call it…but all I see is worship of another invisible diety, this invisible hand of the market - easily the most worshipped god in the modern day. Capitalism is incapable of bringing about salvation, unless you believe in accelerationism, and then everyone participating is gonna be found wanting.
Like, capitalism has failed to even create a society where it’s own people want to breed in. Something so easy for us and we would rather throw it all away, myself included. For comparison, Mozart had 11 children. 2 survived into adulthood.
SoylentBlake@lemm.eeto Technology@beehaw.org•Donald Trump Team Plans to Cancel Biden's $7,500 Tax Incentive On EVsEnglish48·8 months agoWith an exception carved out for Tesla, I’m sure.
In the same vein, all the techbros who voted for Trump are gonna be real asshurt once immigration exemptions are made for tech workers
Like silicon valley is gonna be forced to pay market rate for American talent, pffh, c’mon now. Wages are like prices but the opposite. Prices always go up and never back down. Wages always come down and never go back up. Tech workers enshittification will commence at triple pace now
SoylentBlake@lemm.eetoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•If Trump wins the election, these 11 issues will be under threatEnglish0·8 months agoAt the start of COVID, besides stealing supplies from “blue” cities, under gunpoint right off the docks, Trump sent 3 testing machines to Putin. When we ALREADY didn’t have enough.
He delayed doing anything about it, publically saying, paraphrasing, “it seems like a problem for the blue cities” and didn’t lift a finger until people in the south started dropping like flies
Over average deaths during that time frame are an order of magnitude higher than the actual reported COVID numbers - That is the only metric that matters. And beyond not helping Americans, he actively stifled help from reaching us
No SINGLE person in our history is responsible for as many deaths as Trump is, due to his hindering relief. He is the biggest killer of Americans the world has ever seen. Putin definitely got his money’s worth.
And he sold our nuclear tech to the Saudi’s. Wtf else would Kuschner have received 2Billion USD for?
SoylentBlake@lemm.eeto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•‘It’s mindblowing’: US meteorologists face death threats as hurricane conspiracies surgeEnglish0·9 months agoIt’s a fallacy that law enforcement needs 30 secs of someone on the line to trace a call. Any call can be traced, almost immediately. I doubt the largest cell providers even require a warrant . we know for a fact that Amazon hands over video from ring cameras with or without owners permission. I bet if someone were inclined to try, they could probably call up Amazon, say they’re a cop and just “here you go, hero”. Smh. Regardless, it’s not like there are judges that effectively give autographed rubber stamps to the police chiefs, right?
Every death threat that isn’t followed up upon is a choice made by LE. They allow this to continue. It could be shut down, right fucking now, if they would just do their fucking jobs and not leverage domestic terrorism because it benefits them.
SoylentBlake@lemm.eeto Global News@lemmy.zip•18 treated for severe nausea in Stuttgart after opera of live sex and piercingEnglish0·9 months agoThat’s pretty foul. I have some sympathy for the patrons if that’s the case. Nowhere that I read was cannibalism mentioned. I’d argue arresting those involved if that’s the truth. Prions are fucking deadly serious and survive outside the body, after a person dies, and until picked up by something else. And they’ll hop species too. The literal embodiment of the dark world, just pure evil anti-life. There’s a proper analogy in some video game somewhere that I’m not finding at the moment…idk. it’s like, imagine every prion is a burnt out crystal on an LCD screen. Once there’s enough out there…it’s game over.
SoylentBlake@lemm.eeto Global News@lemmy.zip•18 treated for severe nausea in Stuttgart after opera of live sex and piercingEnglish0·9 months agoI wonder how extreme the piercings were. What qualifies as extreme to the Germans…
Long syringes into the glutamis maximus? Or syringes piercing labia? Youchie.
Extreme like metal chopsticks thru cheeks?
Extreme like suspending people by hooks into their backs? Cuz that’s just a Tuesday for some people.
Or maybe running a sword between the liver and kidneys? It can be done, just thru flesh, missing the internal organs. I’d call that pretty extreme, none of which would make me nauseous tho. Degloving is the only thing that’s made my stomach physically feel like it was turning over, and if you don’t know what that is, I don’t recommend finding out.
I doubt it. Maybe there are differences, but there’s zero chance we have anything close to enough data that could draw correlations to negative effects. This is China, if not intentionally crafting data, then definitely broadcasting data that reinforces the cultural narrative they’ve already set. If the finding were to prove contrary to their brain rot position, I doubt they’d be broadcasting.
Just cuz a brain might work different doesn’t mean it’s bad. It took morning people, evening people, and nights watch people to keep us alive for the past millenni’i, why do morning people have a favored position in society? It’s bullshit and fucked up if you ask me. There’s medical evidence of sleep types, why can’t we use that to force a schedule change? Bring back night court, fuck.
I assume ADHD brains are different from neuroboring ones too, and as an ADHD brained individual I don’t consider it a disability, or a defect or detriment. I have traits I have learned to accommodate and traits I actively protect myself from, and they might not be neurotypical ons, the most common thousand or so nuerotypical problems, I dont have. And I think that life without endless curiosity with the ability to singularly deep dive any topic for essentially forever just wouldn’t be an existence worth living. I honestly feel I can do whatever it is I set myself too, regardless the complexity. I can’t imagine the world seen from despondent resignation.
Ive pondered more than once if I would be better off without the ADHD hyper sensitive sense of justice. I’ve said for years that I started this life off as lawful good and life’s caused me to slide all the way down to chaotic neutral.
