Loved him, in the context of GTA, it’s a violent satire of American life and he fits both that AND the players of GTA. I also liked saints row for that reason. When you just want to go be a menence both games give you the tools and framing to do so

Link did send me to mental outlaws video on jail breaking too

Oh that probably is a good place to look into. I know for some cars changing out the whole ECU is needed to go FOSS, so buying parts might just be what’s needed if the DRM sucks to much on them. Junked Tesla rebuilds or retrofits using them probably have all sorts of what to use if you don’t have (or in this don’t want to use) XYZ part

No for sure, it definitely for sakes ties, including support, from Tesla

No idea if it would make more valuable (recently mentioned cons included), just less toxic

Looking more into this for existing Teslas owners or people wanting an EV looking to buy used Teslas with plumbeted value. Buying brand new would be a stupid move for anyone, and with actual moral hazard too of course

I can only imagine lol Honestly just looking for alternatives for people that can’t afford to sell it and scraping it is a waste of the hard work people put into making it.

I would love a certainess punctuation. I had a DND character based on the less wrong forum that added percentages of certainess of things they’ve learned.

So like “the wizard says he is 20. [30%]” and “the wizard says he is a wizard [90%]”

Honestly I’ve really like longhorn (rook-ceph is awesome too if your big storage nerd like me, but it’s also job into its self). So stateful workloads have never been an issue on k8s for me.

<UniqueName>-the-<type of computer> For hardware.

So Bill-the-laptop Ishmel-the-hometheater Etc

Everything else is cattle to me. Function-namespace-random

But I’m a BIG Kubernetes rke2/k3s/harvester guy

Probably add a red flag too. If career progression means management. Management is just a skill set, if getting promoted to that position is the only way “up” then you can expect a bunch of people who rose to the level of their incompetence in charge looking for people like them to promote under them.

In order.

Employees owned. Community coop. Non-profit Opensource Community or national service related Trade, manufacturing, backend IT related

Those are all attributes that push me to feeling better about the work personally. The exact opposite of for profit retail experience

Honestly, again, the same reason many people drink and smoke.

Social activity, cohesion, etc

Most people don’t do most things rationally

Probably the same reason Europeans drink and smoke too tbh

The risk seems worth it. Either because the see it as lower than it is or that the loss of life less valuable than others see it.

I really liked living in an apartment. Simple living is pretty nice tbh.

I would never go back to renting. I’ll riot first lol.

Honestly even my best landlords sucked vs just being able to fix it myself.

That’s where digital twin engineering HOPES to bridge the gap.

There is definitely a contium of how long it takes to build and test changes where increasly abstract design makes more and more sense vs the send it model

It seems like Russia and China are gaining in geopolitical influence as the US recedes.

Winning isn’t what I’d call that

Do what you can. A little more each day if it gets easier. Understand we can’t fight all the worlds evils alone, but we aren’t alone so whatever your fight is helps all of us.

I push for opensource, self hosting, being self sufficient, unionizing (at work, and for tenets), forming coops (worker, community, housing, and even producer coops), do mutual aid, support charities through donations sure but also volunteering. I also try to buy less, if you need it you need it, but if you don’t then why support corps like Walmart or Amazon for them to take those profits to undermine us.

Again it’s not about perfection or even self actualization, it’s just every time we can empower ourselves and others we can shift the power balance.

Dang I wish did more with the Mimic3 project. They have SSML support which just seems like an awesome way to address the mono voice issue in tts for books to me.

This groups number is one I’ve seen circulated for calling if you see an arrest happening.

There is a decent push for unions to try and sync their contract negotiations to 2028 right now. https://socialistcall.com/2024/07/15/are-we-up-for-a-general-strike-in-2028/

We have laws prohibiting general strikes so we have to have work arounds to be fully effective.

For directly working class facing work Im in favor of people working, helping and serving each other but just refusing to do work related to taking payments. Maybe hand them food in the first window and have the next window just say closed on strike.

The largest tech sector union I know of is the Tech Workers Coalition that got a shout out last year at the DefCon keynote. Which I feel with the tech oligarchy and a fascist government working towards a public private partnership is more needed now then ever.
