IN 20+ CARTS

Keep moving those goalposts! Eventually you’ll be “right” and saved face.

Yeah totally, I guess their only option is to pirate the books then, it’s not like NVIDIA has access to OCR or anything 🙄

Ah yes, of course, the legal challenges of selling a copy of a book that is literally for sale 🙄🙄🙄

Yeah the existing deal with publishers is “sell my book”, dummy. And no, there is no real software development work because you have genuinely no idea what you’re talking about if you think it’s not already just sitting in an S3 bucket with a database mapping it by those different publishers and deals. Again, even libraries have a database system that could handle this

How do you think it works when an individual buys one book? A lawyer and software developer sit down to figure out the terms and conditions and overcome the technical challenge of finding that book in their computer system?

Yeah, no, this genuinely doesn’t make sense as there are legitimate repositories for these books and can do business-to-business negotiations for access to them. Even libraries have access to ebooks at bulk scale.

Allegedly most valuable company on the planet in all of history (can’t afford books). Allegedly not a bubble or fraud.

would only apply if Gavin Newsom was “good”.

This man is never going to be president

Did they accidentally turn off their DoS for sites that don’t pay for Cloudflare?

Why not trade the illusion of digital control for actual peace, get a dumb phone, a CD player, and check out books, movies, music, and games from the library as my entertainment?

You can do this, while also choosing to use some self-hosted services or internet-services that work for you.

$20 is not a lot of money but there are people who can’t afford it anyway

Then they can’t afford a phone or monthly service plan or really any communication devices at all.

Unless you live in an overpopulated area it will be pretty hard to find someone else using that kind of device

Literally designed for rural areas with poor cell service.

it don’t have a real application

Wait the real application that I use to communicate with and manage my node doesn’t exist?

supposing someone make a business and start deploying the system for money

Yeah except this tech is already used with all kinds of smart and IoT devices.

Meshtatic radios are very cheap, about $20. It’s one of their main drivers of their popularity.

To use these kind of devices you need at least two people using it.

🤣🤣🤣 A communications device that requires a receiver and a sender??? Oh, how useless!

There’s over 300 meshtastic radios in my area.

Being a short haired dude I struggle to understand how hair, which is basically dead tissue would benefit from moisturizing

What about leather, could it benefit from applying a layer of oil? Or wood? Or rubber? Or cast iron? Living tissue is not the only thing physically affected by moisture levels.

Oil seals in moisture to prevent hair from drying out, which, obviously, will change it’s texture and elasticity. The skin on your head naturally produces grease to keep your hair moisturized, but when you wash with soap, it strips that grease out. If you shower regularly, you need to replace it.

I used the word “health” because it is commonly used to describe hair texture. You won’t be medically unhealthy if you don’t use conditioner, but your hair will probably be dry as shit and frizzy.

Soap and conditioner have opposite and incompatible roles. Soap strips away dirt and oils. Conditioner replaces the oils stripped away by soap that your hair needs, to maintain health.

You don’t really need separate shampoo and body wash, you could wash your hair with standard bar soap. You do need separate conditioner.

Shampoo+conditioner combined together can either clean or apply oils to the hair, but chemically, it cannot do both, despite marketing.

Of course not, that would be smart

So… just like… KDE?

Not that it is designed for it but it is a similar workflow and should be familiar to Windows users

Ha, my system is exactly identical! I really have no reason to upgrade, besides maybe 5950X/5900XT for more cores for compiling software (I run Gentoo on it). Can’t justify that though because it’s more of a sidegrade, and they’re all out of stock now that AM4 is back in style.

My 6900XT is a slightly-cheaper-than-6950XT frankenstein with the 6950XT full chip but 6900XT clocked VRAM. It’s so efficient. The fans don’t even spin for some games. There’s nothing it can’t play at max settings, but I’m also rendering at 1600x1200 (or less for specific older titles) on a CRT.

If you think the number of people that use ad blockers is not a fraction of a percent of internet users, you’re in a bubble.

Go outside, talk to people, friends, family, especially of different generations. Even people I know that I consider much more “tech savvy” than average have no clue about ad blockers or how to begin using them.

I think I must have got it on sale or a very low point. Definitely was a nice upgrade! I had been non-seriously looking at 5950X or 5900XT as a sidegrade but I can’t really justify that cost for something that is not a substantial upgrade, and now they seem to be totally out of stock anywhere I look. Oh well!

We live in a terrifying time

Well, the nanobots that you are describing do not exist, so they aren’t what is making the time terrifying

They believe compassion and empathy are “woke”
