  • I live on kinda the outskirts of the ghetto, drive through it everyday to get to town, and there's this one house, dilapidated af, looks like it should be condemned, busted ass Ford Explorer non-opped on the dogshit-encrusted gravel path—and it's had Trump signs all over the front fence for ten damn years now.

    Idk how to make people like this understand that Donny John literally would not piss on you if you were on fire. He'd just call you white trash, then rape your daughter on his way out.

    Glad yours took their signs down, but damn. Lotta people have decided to die on this garbage ass hill.

  • Remember, living wages is less expensive than this!

  • It's because we were a nation founded by violence and oppression and built on the backs of a slave race, none of which are practices we ever truly abandoned.

    You have healthcare, affordable schooling, and labor unions because, wherever you are, your populace is considered a workforce, not a slave race. When your society relies on a workforce, you want them healthy so they can work longer, you want them educated so they can work smarter, and you want them comfortable enough with their salaries and their hours to feel they can afford to have kids, who will one day join the workforce.

    Governing bodies in the US don't need us healthy, smart, or comfortable. They just need us to 1) work (hence tying our healthcare to our work hours), and 2) breed (hence minimal sex education, poor access to contraception, abortion bans, etc).

    They don't need to give us healthcare (or education, or basic human necessities or rights), because as long as we're breeding, it's cheaper if we just die. And if that ever bothers us enough to take to the streets (which it has, many times), our local police forces are highly militarized and have no qualms about doing to us what their white ancestors did to my native and black ones (which they have, many times).

    And to be clear, this isn't meant to be a woe-is-America spiel. These are problems that we've had many opportunities to address over the years, but let hubris, bigotry, and plain old stupidity get in the way. This is very much a mess of our own making, so I'm not trying to throw a pity party, just addressing your confusion.

    TL;DR: Violence, oppression, and slavery. The tried and true American way.

  • This part. I live in a rural area near a city; lots of people commute into town, and the main road there is flat, wide, straight, not residential, not even any livestock near the road, just open fields. The limit is 35, and half the people I know have gotten at least one $375 ticket for doing 40. It's literally just a cash grab designed to take money from poor people trying to get to work.

  • If you thought USians were stupid already, give it a few more years of AI usage! You can just see people's eyes glassing over when you try to discuss anything of import.

    Yuuuup. I'm an American, and I'm particularly scared for Gen Alpha. The amount of times I've seen my nieces and nephews stop mid-sentence, pull out their phone and have ChatGPT complete their thought is... Idk man. I'm a millennial, and a significant part of this is my generation's fault, cuz we're the "hand them an iPad so they'll leave you alone" parents (though not me personally because I have zero interest in bearing any crotchfruit). But damn, it's scary. And sad.

    Jump

  • I do like videogames, including ones with NPCs, but the difference there is that an NPC isn't pretending to be a person, it's pretending to be a character in a fiction that was definitively written by a person. And even so, I very much don't like hyper-realism in games, much prefer stylized and/or cartoony.

    And yeah the fake person at a drive thru thing started up where I am in California sometime last year (or at least that I first noticed). The irritatingly realistic voice is bad enough, but it's really the obsequious responses that bug me there. A lot of, "great choice! The orange chicken is really tasty", like removed you literally don't have a mouth, please stop.

  • Yeah but see that freaks me tf out too. A few nights ago, the moon was shining through the leaves of the oak tree in my backyard in such a way that it vaguely looked like a little kid's face, and I literally said out loud "absolutely not" and went back inside.

  • +1 for GrapheneOS. I wasn't particularly privacy conscious when I installed it; I was just super bothered by the Google/Apple duopoly in mobile OSes and wanted literally anything else. Came across GrapheneOS and a few others, but Graphene looked the easiest to install (and it was!) so I went with that. Barely a year later, Google's out here trying to lock Android down and harvest literally every piece of personal data they can find, and I feel like I dodged a bullet.

  • Docker vs ... not?

    Jump

  • Jellyfin isn't running in a docker container, so it's working fine. I've just noticed that everything I am running in a container doesn't have network access, unless I change network mode to host in that container's compose yml. So I guess docker's network bridge isn't configured correctly? Which makes sense, as I have basically no idea what I'm doing lmao. So until I figure out what's going on there, I think I'll just let my JF server run as is. I'd prefer it in a container I think, but not before I figure out what exactly I broke.

  • Docker vs ... not?

    Jump

  • Bearing that in mind, I now have a new problem, which is that apparently none of my containers actually have internet access? I hadn't noticed because I mostly just run local media servers, and I tend to clean up all the metadata before I upload anything (i.e. I usually clean up my ebooks in Calibre before I send them to BookLore, so I've never had to actually use BookLore to fetch anything from the web).

    Only way I was able to get internet access in any of my containers was adding 

     
        
network_mode: "host"

    to the docker-compose.yml files, which, if I'm understanding correctly, negates the point of isolating network services, no? So something is broken somewhere but I have no idea what it is or how to fix it, so I guess my JF server is staying on bare metal for now lol

  • Random, but if you use gesture typing in heliboard, they're trying to build their own open-source gesture library. You can help build it (and maybe improve the autocorrect to a degree). I think you go to settings, and there's a tab for "gesture data gathering".

  • What game had you like this?

    Jump

  • Grounded. It initially felt impossible cuz early game practically every enemy one-shots you. Abandoned it for a while, then a friend played it and told me the secret is to learn all the movesets and perfect parry every single hit, and I was like "that sounds unreasonably difficult", and then immediately played it for like nine hours straight.
