pl_woah,

I’m pissed that large corps are working hard on propaganda to say that LLMs and theft of copyright is good if they do it

pl_woah,

You can do it. I use a powered USB hub and a raspberry pi, and 5 hard drives.

It is a mess of cables but was simple enough.

I also sprang for a UPS because most filesystem’s I tried like zfs and btrfs didn’t appreciate random brownouts from running 4 drives off the pi itself.

Right now they’re xfs and used for a minio install and torrent storage

Privacy Concerns on Lemmy: A Call for More User Control (github.com)

I’ve been grappling with a concern that I believe many of us share: the lack of privacy controls on Lemmy. As it stands, our profiles are public, and all our posts and comments are visible to anyone who cares to look. I don’t even care about privacy all that much, but this level of transparency feels to me akin to sharing my...

pl_woah,

The lemmy devs would probably take something sensible like that and flat out shoot it down because they think they know better.

pl_woah,

The current strategy of venture capital is not success, but sabotage

It’s not good enough for you to be doing well, you have to strangle the competition and introduce yourself as an unremovable bottleneck

For example, becoming the intermediary between concerts and concert goers. The fees charged and the trouble caused is worse than if they hadn’t been there.

Amazon makes examples out of any business that dare challenge it’s dead zone around it.

VC money is meant to crush the competition and lock in the consumer to charge rent.

Why would they ever want worker control, or unions?

Why would the private healthcare industry ever stop lobbying against socialized healthcare? Why would a capitalist success ever lead to the political change necessary for it when the doctrine of capitalism is privatization

Why would any commercial real estate firm allow affordable housing to exist when they can scalp it on investment properties and leave them empty? Why build affordable housing when the margins are small?

Capitalism isn’t a savior, it’s just locally optimal to the people with capital.

Most things I’ve done were from changing the environment around me. Most things became trivially easier when I made more… So no fault there

I’d consider HARD goals, not just SMART ones

  • Heartfelt - core/passion
  • Animated - inspires/energizes you
  • Required - needed for a larger objective
  • Difficult - effort but also confidence creating

Is it something you can sustainably do, with your support system and environment and schedule, that breaths life into you even though it’s a challenge?

Are you working in that 80% max effort space (or whatever it is for gym nerds, you get the point)

pl_woah,

My naive butt: “I thought Google and Apple reviewed app applications for malicious code” Older me: “bahahahahaha” cries in cyber security

pl_woah,

I grew up in a small town in the rockies and one of the developer outfits had a fancy office with this decor

pl_woah,

I don’t get it

It would be fixed capital regardless of the interior design and chairs?

pl_woah,
