Where do you think we get new Republicans from?

I’m happy that Three Wolf Moon Shirt is making a comeback.

This sounds very non open source to me, it already has a per user price, vc funding, etc. Are you able to take it and host it yourself if you want? Can you fork the code?

I’ve worked in sales for 25 years and I have yet to encounter this mythical “well implemented salesforce instance”.

I’m not being hyperbolic. The only thing that affects my performance is swap. On my 64gb 2018 mini, everything is instant. On my 16gb 2020 MacBook, even just opening more than 100 browser tabs makes the whole computer unusable. Give me a 16gb m4 and I will happily record a video for you of a usual day at about 40gb memory consumption and send it back.

Imagine simping for a 3 trillion dollar company that did this for the sole purpose of making more money on wireless earbuds. SMH.

I’m dead serious. CPU and GPU ceased being bottlenecks for most non gaming or video editing workflows a long time ago. The only one left is RAM, and Apple exploits that. By now all Macs should have 64gb as minimum config based on the actual part costs.

My 2018 Mac mini (the last model with upgradable ram) has 64gb and it’s way faster than any m4 without 64gb. I will keep it until it’s completely untenable to do so. Minimum 10 years, I’m hoping I can manage 15-20. Maybe by then I’ll actually be able to afford a new Mac with 64gb or more.

The only upgrade that matters for most non-gaming or video production use cases any more is RAM anyway.

Try living in a small country, there’s tons of stuff like that.

I think the smartest ones will. Really I don’t mind an intelligent community like this one.

Thanks for letting me know about this. Just installed it. Now if they supported multiple mastodon accounts, I’d really be cooking.

The only way this would work is if you paid for a subscription to many news sources a la Netflix. No one will buy subscriptions to each individual author or publication. But of course Netflix now has ads too, so greed really has no bounds, especially once they’ve got you roped in.

I am, and as a former Unix admin, I’m also amazed at how easy self hosting is these days. Hopefully it continues to grow. It certainly seems to be.

Everyone says this, but I think the EU wants Britain back in enough to make some exceptions again. The way I look at it is that it doesn’t hurt to try.

What’s the black thing supposed to be, El Chupacabra?

I think if you made billions in tech, you always qualify. To some degree even more after you stop working and still can’t find time to do anything beneficial for the world.

What we really want is confirmation that the articles were written and researched by humans. But failing that tell us that AI was used so we can avoid it.

If royalties are paid, in most cases the artist will get some. How much depends on the contract he signed. I agree it’s not a great system. I’d like to see some direct licensing with the artist rather than what we have today, but something is still better than nothing.

I always try to buy subscriptions with PayPal for this reason. Because buried in their UI you can go turn off the automatic payments to that payee. They usually cancel the subscription themselves if you stop paying them.
