“How does greenwashing work? Let the NYT show you with direct, practical examples.”

dylanmorgan ,

This is what keeps being ignored in these studies, and it seems like the only reason is that copping to the real reasons young people are showing higher rates of mental illness would require admitting that the status quo is unsustainable and frankly evil.

A report that said “gen z is profoundly distressed by the reality of global warming” means admitting we need to fix the climate or see our kids suffers deaths of despair in unprecedented numbers. The same is true if we admit that the economy won’t provide most of them a job that allows basic survival, much less a comfortable fulfilling life; or that these factors have combined to cause a turn to fascism.

It’s okay to say the joke doesn’t work.

dylanmorgan ,

Okay, I’m not OP but a follow up question that occurs to me reading the explanations of what Wayland is, is are there any distros or spins of distros that use Wayland by default?

dylanmorgan ,

Dude raises some really good points, including placing unions in the broader context of the working class getting shafted in the economy.

CRITICAL FAILURE. WINDSHIELD WIPER DETACHMENT DETECTED. PLEASE CONTACT ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE IMMEDIATELY. DRIVING HAS BEEN DISABLED FOR SAFETY REASONS.

ITT: people who would have thrown away rap albums when they found out the rapper never actually dealt drugs defending a billionaire from a little joke she’ll never see.

dylanmorgan ,

Shifty Shellshock is so disappointed in you.

dylanmorgan ,

Try to mitigate harm while still advocating for better.

There’s a value to having a standard image or images that are used to assess compression algorithms’ performance. It could just as easily be a picture of a bouquet of flowers, or a bunch of puppies.

dylanmorgan ,

Better to mandate open hardware and software standards, so if the company goes under others can make parts or even upgrade the devices.

Man, it sure would be sad if everyone in that law firm got food poisoning every other day.

US sues Apple for illegal monopoly over smartphones (www.theverge.com)

The US Department of Justice and 16 state and district attorneys general accused Apple of operating an illegal monopoly in the smartphone market in a new antitrust lawsuit. The DOJ and states are accusing Apple of driving up prices for consumers and developers at the expense of making users more reliant on its iPhones.

dylanmorgan ,

I don’t know how much of that falls under the DOJ’s purview. Based on what I’ve heard from various congressional staffers, a physical letter mailed to your congressional representative actually does mean something. You can also go to your city council meetings and tell the city council they should do something about housing.

And anal sex. I’ve heard way more about man on man anal sex from republicans than I have from my numerous gay friends who are also chronic oversharers.

Your ancestors would be panicking worse at the grocery store, they couldn’t possibly conceive of something like a refrigerator.

dylanmorgan ,

It’s grifting, pure and simple. All those things may be possible but Sam Altman is spewing this line of bullshit to keep the venture capital flowing into his company.

dylanmorgan ,

That sounds like the general consensus from most SW engineers.

dylanmorgan ,

Good work, friend.

dylanmorgan ,

Also, the connotation of “yelling” can differ by gender. I had male classmates in high school talk about parents “yelling” at them when there was no raised voice, just a discussion of how the child had failed to meet expectations. When men say a female partner is “yelling” they often mean “nagging” or “bothering.” Conversely, when women say a male partner is “yelling” they typically mean “using a raised voice in anger.”

Problem with Jellyfin on Fedora and Ubuntu

I installed Jellyfin on an iMac running Fedora 39/Gnome and it was running more or less without any issues. However, I wanted to have the iMac on a VPN which would prevent accessing content indexed by Jellyfin elsewhere. So I installed Ubuntu on an old Mac Mini that I had, planning to make it a NAS box as well as host...

dylanmorgan ,

It’s been long enough, I’d definitely hit it.

dylanmorgan ,

If they want it to have an effect it should be $500 million every 3 months until it changes.

Are We Transitioning From Capitalism to Silicon Serfdom? (jacobin.com)

Are We Transitioning From Capitalism to Silicon Serfdom?::The idea that we are entering an era of techno-feudalism that will be worse than capitalism is chilling and controversial. We asked former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis to elucidate this idea, explain how we got here, and map out some alternatives.

They get yelled at by old men in procedures that typically make their interrogators look foolish at best, then are fined what amounts to a minor rounding error and change nothing. Because for the time being, congress and the donors that get congress elected benefit from the absurd profits being collected.

dylanmorgan OP ,

Not sure what your point is, assuming the theory that Homo sapiens wiped out homo neanderthalensis it was before you could really argue there was such a thing as colonialism.

dylanmorgan ,

I read it as a celebration that anyone can distribute podcasts. Distribution is via RSS so as long as you have the feed URL you can use whatever podcast player you want to subscribe to whatever podcasts you want.

It’s my understanding that kangaroos are plentiful. I’ve had kangaroo meat and it’s pretty tasty, like very lean beef.

    That was my first thought.

    dylanmorgan ,

    I read a couple, and yeah it looks good.

    dylanmorgan ,

    Money is information about how a group of people wish to allocate resources (material and labor). Capitalism casts money as a resource of its own, which is also a lie.

    dylanmorgan ,

    Beef is soy free as well.

    dylanmorgan ,

    That’s the joke. Beef in a list of soy-free meat substitutions makes as much sense as soy.

    dylanmorgan ,

    The NLRB has been such a milquetoast bullshit agency for so long, even the most minor enforcement action has companies shook.

    dylanmorgan ,

    Thunderbird will do RSS.

    As Robert Evan’s put it: “If we can’t steal every book ever written, we’ll go broke!”

    dylanmorgan ,

    What, no Enlightenment?

    dylanmorgan ,

    Cruises and golf? What a shallow, sad view of retirement. My uncle goes to Florida in the winter and fishes off of various docks and camps, and spends time with his grandkids, and ducks around with gadgets the rest of the year.

    dylanmorgan ,

    Wow, I think that’s it!

    dylanmorgan ,

    Fucks sake I need to move.

    “I didn’t wipe it on my ass, if that’s what you mean.”

    One of the criteria for whether a patent is valid or not is that it is “non-obvious.” I remember reading about a patent troll who held a patent on a “system for distributing software updates over a computer network.” Which is, forgive the pun, a patently obvious use for a computer network.

    People had been talking about buying music and videos online for at least a decade before this guy filed his patents. IANAL (or an engineer) but nothing in the patents seems more detailed than “sell music online, accept money for it, make sure people don’t copy it.” Which boils down to “buy music, but on the computer!” to borrow your phrasing.

    How a 27-Year-Old Codebreaker Busted the Myth of Bitcoin’s Anonymity (www.wired.com)

    "This is the story of the revelation in late 2013 that Bitcoin was, in fact, the opposite of untraceable—that its blockchain would actually allow researchers, tech companies, and law enforcement to trace and identify users with even more transparency than the existing financial system."

    The article’s point appears to be an ad for the book written by the same dude whose byline is on the article.

    dylanmorgan ,

    All of a sudden I’m angry. What’s that all about?

    dylanmorgan ,

    Do you want new prion diseases? Because that’s how you get new prion diseases.

    dylanmorgan ,

    This meme doesn’t work, because in the scene the image comes from, we have every reason to believe Ron Swanson actually does know more than the employee at the hardware store.
