Serinus ,

Yes, we get it. They're both the same.

Serinus ,

Rather than particular communities, I tend to just do all - last 12 hours.

Serinus ,

Did you know that in the past even judges appointed by Republicans weren't blatantly corrupt?

Serinus ,

Hey, one of the only jobs where not being white makes you more likely to land the job!

Serinus ,

I could go into all the political bullshit that's likely the cause of this, but this is pretty ineffective if so. It probably doesn't matter.

Serinus ,

If we're waiting for one party to collapse, it should probably be the fascists.

Serinus ,

Which I'm sure was true. It would certainly be a lot faster to debug FSD after a number of deaths for each bug.

Serinus ,

The painting is thinner.

Serinus ,

So worst case you might turn off this feature.

Serinus ,

This happens with cash too. If you take in a bunch of cash, you have a duty to know what it's from so that you're not facilitating terrorism or crime or subverting sanctions. In fact, of you handle cash or finance, you generally have to take training on these laws every year.

This thing is the definition of money laundering and was known for exactly those problems.

Serinus ,

I don't think you understand. Banks (or anyone who accepts large amounts of money) has a duty to have some idea of where that money comes from. There are anti money laundering laws.

Go open a bank account right now and try to deposit a briefcase full of $50,000 in cash and see what happens. You might, maybe be able to do it, but there will absolutely be questions.

He can write the code. He can release the source. Nothing is illegal until he takes currency.

Serinus ,

a screenshot of a text message conversation. The text messages are from an encrypted app conversation between Roman Semenov, the defendant, Roman Storm, and CC-1.

He's taking a fee in order to launder your money.

Serinus ,

Also you have to allow people a way out. If you say they can never come back to reality, then they won't try.

It takes a lot to leave your social group, even if that social group is based on rage, lies, and bullshit. It's not entirely different from ex-Mormons or people leaving a cult.

Serinus ,

How do you do that? Every chai recipe I've looked up has been overly complicated.

Serinus ,

The pour over is pretty easy, and not much different than cleaning out the cup.

I'll often grind 2-3 uses of beans at a time and just store the grounds in a baggie.

Serinus , (edited )

Me, this morning, making plain old coffee, "Man, my milk could be frothed right now."

I'm learning I can do it by heating the milk in a saucepan on the stove, then use a whisk to froth the milk until foamy. Maybe I'll try this next time.

I don't need my coffee particularly strong. Maybe I'll try a cafe au lait next time.

Serinus ,

They're perfectly capable. About half just don't want to.

I don't know how to convince people to vote for ourselves instead of hate. I don't know how to get people to vote for solutions, even imperfect ones, over someone to blame.

But if you figure it out, these are the kinds of problems we can go about solving.

Serinus ,

Because people tend to notice when one price goes up. They notice much less when there are multiple excuses and many prices are going up. It's a lot easier to refuse to buy one thing than it is to refuse to buy everything.

We don't have the kind of supply/demand price curve you read about in econ 101 because there are too many barriers to entry to starting any business. Once you're established, you can either choose to race to the bottom so that both you and your competitors lose money OR you can implicitly agree to set your prices about the same as theirs. So choose, do you like more money or less money?

Yes, it's partly inflation. And it's partly the PPP. But largely it's just greed hidden behind excuses with no real threat of PR fallout.

Serinus ,

You're apparently spamming similar replies without reading what you're replying to.

Serinus ,

VaultWarden if you want all the features without paying $40/year.

Otherwise Bitwarden will either allow you to self-host OR allow you to share passwords with one other person (using their server), but not both.

VaultWarden just unlocks all the features.

Serinus ,

I have a lot of experience with both. As a tech savvy user, I slightly prefer KeePass. Syncing between devices is slightly more painful, but I find it to be more reliable, and it doesn't have the attack surface that Bitwarden does. (While encrypted, Bitwarden still really wants a web server and a local database connection.)

VaultWarden is probably better for those who can't be bothered to move a file around and want direct browser integration. With KeePass when you need a password, you'll make sure the username has focus and then alt+tab to KeePass and hit "autofill". Some sites won't take "username{tab}password{enter}" and you'll have to customize the configuration.

VaultWarden is better at prompting you to add new passwords. I prefer the workflow that's encouraged by KeePass, where you open the app first and use the app to open the URL. (You can do this in VaultWarden too, but it's less obvious.)

Serinus , (edited )

You can use both on your phone to sync with each of them, yes. Immich and Google Photos won't communicate directly (and don't need to).

It's a good idea in case your Google account ever gets banned. (Say you issue a chargeback against Google Wallet or something.)

Serinus ,

This is the biggest reason I don't own a smartwatch yet. I want to own my own health data, and not have it locked into Fitbit or Google.

Serinus ,

Judges are smarter than that. So are juries.

Serinus ,

The actual article has a lot more. https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solutions/2024/03/28/ev-charging-stations-slow-rollout/

Serinus ,

They won't make nearly as much as they did with tipping. I expect either tipping to come back to that place or the servers to leave for somewhere better.

Serinus ,

Parties of 8 or more often have gratuity on the bill like this. It's rare to see it otherwise, unless there's a particular reason (like they know these people never tip).

Serinus ,

Yeah, maybe they'll make $50/he. And maybe cops will fly.

Serinus ,

I'm excited for the new passenger rail lines.

Serinus ,

I try not to judge children for the crimes of their parents.

Serinus ,

I've found the opposite. People with shitty parents often try to not be like them. And people with overly nice parents often tend to just expect everyone to bend to their will.

Serinus ,

Stack overflow was the pioneer of hallucinations.

Serinus ,

It doesn't. You can do so much more in an isometric world than a 3D one. Modern games are more about the game engine than the game itself.

Spruce up some old school MUDs, imo. Make the original Legend of Zelda, but massively upgraded for what you can do with today's tech. (Similar to Bastion, I suppose.) There's a lot of room for a triple A game similar to Albion Online.

Serinus ,

the ability to just take a few months off and burn your savings is increasingly not viable.

Universal healthcare would help here.

Serinus ,

The idea is that the biggest barrier to entry for small business and entrepreneurship is healthcare.

Serinus ,

It costs less than a dollar for the first year. After that, who knows.

The plain text is much more reliable than any url.

Serinus ,

Namecheap xyz domains are less than $3 after tax for the first year. Subsequent years are around $10.

Serinus ,

I moved to AntennaPod from Google podcasts. Would recommend.

How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals

I constantly see angry mobs of people decrying "woke", "critical race theory", ""grooming"", and whatever other nonsense they made up this week. They march around with guns, constantly appending lib as a prefix to any word they can use to denigrate. They actively plot violence and spew hatred in the open....

Serinus ,

"their breath" is the traditional end of that phrase.

Serinus ,

Have you ever seen the video of the meth addict in Walmart?

Serinus ,

hindustantimes.com

Is not a source I'm familiar with. But everyone wants to believe it, so upvotes it is.

Serinus ,

Maybe it's AI trying to hit keywords.

Serinus ,

The bear isn't likely to want to screw with you.

Serinus ,

batteries catching fire don’t mesh with garage storage

Your gas powered car is more likely to burst into flames than your electric car.

Serinus ,

Serinus ,

So is getting shot in the back.

Serinus ,

They tend to make breaking changes every other release, which is always the release that people hate. (Granted, I don't know wtf they've done with usability in Windows 11, but at least I can't move the taskbar anymore.)
