Biden admin needs to use their campaign money to pay underemployed 22-30 year olds to be meme lords to help with this campaign.

I see a headline like this and I’m fucking dying. I’m sure some kids younger than me could cook something up from this headline alone that’d connect with plenty of 17-25 year olds.

They would think that we create sport out of pushing our physical limits so as to advance our physical limits at an optimal pace.

“The human performed two whole rotations! And while doing so, they removed their vehicle, spun it around their body, and placed it back beneath their feet before landing! However, clearly the humans valued the human who performed two and a half rotations a lot more. They call home ‘Tony Hawk’”.

That we distill what makes us uncomfortable and make a mockery of it. As a communal past time.

Remote work.

Build homes in the echoes of cities instead of gentrifying shit holes.

Repurpose the corporate offices into affordable housing to fix the growing homelessness problems.

Create less car dependent infrastructure

Make more high density areas car free, and build affordable housing over the parking areas.

Subsidize farms if they use green tech. Subsidize them more if they’re smaller to reincitiveize small farms.

Abolish any ability for any corporation from owning any land not zoned for corporate use. Corporations may not own homes.

Did I mention remote work?

Why not serve fried chicken on Juneteenth? How is it different from serving corned beef on St. Patrick’s day? (old.lemmy.world)

Disclaimer: I am not trolling, I am an autistic person who doesn’t understand so many social nuances. Also I am from New Hampshire (97% white), so I just don’t have any close African-American friends that I am willing to risk asking such a loaded question.

I gotta say, I genuinely love this issue.

Like I’m a left leaning generic progressive white guy with a degree that includes a Sociology minor. This shit is so fascinating to me.

I don’t know many black people, personally. Maybe 10 humans I know (like… Might send a social media message to because we are casual acquaintances) are black. I live in a rural area. Two are vegan, but the rest do indeed love fried chicken. We joke, I’veasked. I mean fuck, So do I. What meat eater doesn’t? It’s such a bizarre stereotype from the start. I believe I’ve heard it has to do with slaves being given the wings and appendages of chicken? But I don’t know the veracity of that. Seems plausible?

Anyways, this.

And ~100% of cybersecurity pros work ad hoc 100% of the time…

They probably put in 2-10 hours of actual work in a given week. Just like any desk job that doesn’t sit on zoom calls all day.

Edit: 100% of people downvoting this should first Google “ad hoc.” Or are just envious that I have a cybersec job making good money doing nothing all day. Sucks to suck. 🤷‍♂️

Kinda how ~100% of IT salaried positions work. If you’re confused, you’re probably hourly.

No, SOAR tools make life pretty easy. 5 person SOC team + boss, 700 person org. Not overstaffed.

What’s the use case? That will greatly help us answer.

Setup a VPN on a VPS. Use traefik and authelia. Authelia will be your authentication portal and traefik will tunnel the traffic from the auth portal to configd locations within the VPN. Get your home network on that VPN.

Top EU Court Says There’s No Right To Online Anonymity, Because Copyright Is More Important (www.techdirt.com)

The key problem is that copyright infringement by a private individual is regarded by the court as something so serious that it negates the right to privacy. It’s a sign of the twisted values that copyright has succeeded on imposing on many legal systems. It equates the mere copying of a digital file with serious crimes that...

I do believe a loan is a sign of good faith. Like a “we’re here for you. Don’t turn on us later, you owe us. Don’t forget that.” kinda move, geopolitically. It’s not like there exist international debt collectors that act on behalf of nation states.

Like socially, I agree with you. But the global stage isn’t a highschool cafeteria. That “loan” isn’t like a payday loan to a McDonald’s employee trying to buy a car.

What weirds me out is that the things it has issues with when generating images/video are basically a list of things lucid dreamers check on to see if they’re awake or dreaming.

  1. Hands. Are your hands… Hands? Do they make sense?
  2. Written language. Does it look like normal written language?

(3. Turn the lights off/4. Pinch your nose and breath through it) - these two not so much

  1. How did I get here? Where was I before this? Does the transition make sense?
  2. Mirrors. Are they accurate?
  3. Displays on digital devices. Do they look normal?
  4. Clocks. Digital and analog… Do they look like they’re telling time? Even if they do, look away and check again.

(9. Physics, try to do something physically impossible, like poking your finger through your palm. 10. Do you recognize people/do they recognize you) - on two more that aren’t relevant.

But still… It’s kinda remarkable.

Also, Nvidia launched their earth 2 earth simulator recently. So, simulation theory confirmed, I guess.
