RTR#50 Plans for the upcoming week

Lately, I've been dealing with a slight fever associated with the beginning of the year. I'm trying to ensure that everything runs fairly smoothly. Today and tomorrow, I need to focus on planning finances for the upcoming year and handle formalities related to the project. In the following days, I'll implement changes to fix...

I gotta say, I don't know what I would do if one of my projects took off the way kbin has. It's good to see you holding on after eight months of this crazy ride.

Well, this is completely unsurprising and what many people have been saying for decades.

Just a side note, the whole "men's brains don't mature until they're 25" thing is a myth.

DeSantis orders Florida National, State Guard members to Texas border (www.orlandosentinel.com)

Gov. Ron DeSantis said Thursday he is sending National and Florida State Guard troops to Texas to help that state put up razor wire fences on the southern border, a move in apparent defiance of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on the contentious immigration issue....

Federal judge again rules that California's ban on assault weapons is unconstitutional (abcnews.go.com)

A federal judge who previously overturned California’s three-decade-old ban on assault weapons did it again, ruling Thursday that the state’s attempts to prohibit sales of semiautomatic guns violates the constitutional right to bear arms

Google might already be replacing some Ad sales jobs with AI (arstechnica.com)

Google is wrapping its head around the idea of being a generative AI company. The "code red" called in response to ChatGPT has had Googlers scrambling to come up with AI features and ideas. Once all the dust settles on that work, Google might turn inward and try to "optimize" the company with some of its new AI capabilities....

I can't help but wonder how long it'll be before AI sales reps are selling to AI purchasing agents.

@ernest @melroy
lol this whole conversation is a microcosm of the open source community. I agree with ernest that forks are great and would add that they show that the open source system is working as intended.

Ernest said he didn't introduce bad code on purpose:

I assure you that I didn't intentionally push incorrect code into the repository. These were my first lines of code in a really long time. I simply got involved in other things that I wanted to finish first, and I noticed the edge case in the meantime, but it wasn't a priority.

What's the quickest way to find a magazine/community you've subscribed to?

I've been using kbin since the Reddit exodus and I still don't really know the path to finding my way into a specific community/magazine I've subscribed to. I usually search for the name using the search function, then hope I find a thread from there in the results where I can just click directly into it. Surely there must be a...

I would like to see a more accessible list of subscribed magazines included in a future UI update.

Doxing or in the public interest? Free speech, ‘cancelling’ and the ethics of the Jewish creatives’ WhatsApp group leak (theconversation.com)

The recent release of a leaked transcript of a private WhatsApp group for Jewish writers, artists, musicians and academics has stirred a controversy that has led to threats of violence, a family in hiding, and the fast-tracking of new federal legislation to criminalise doxing....

California Gov. Newsom signs law raising taxes on guns and ammunition to pay for school safety (www.pbs.org)

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a law that will raise taxes on guns and ammunition. The federal government already taxes guns at 10 percent or 11 percent. The law Newsom signed on Tuesday adds an 11 percent tax on top of that....

Just starting out, deciding how to do filtration

Hey guys, I'm just starting to acquire gear to start my first reef tank. I've got a 40B aquarium and am trying to decide whether to splurge for a sump and the hassle/risk of a HOB overflow (not drilling holes because Aqueon is known to be using tempered glass for more than just bottom panes lately) or if I should just get a...

original battery in good working condition for 8 years

Batteries are consumables, and they cannot last that long thanks to a little thing called the Second Law of Thermodynamics. I estimate that you have at best 25% of the original capacity of that battery.

That said, the whole "leaving your laptop plugged in kills batteries" is just about thirty years out of date. Plugging in your laptop doesn't do anything to the battery if the battery doesn't need to be charged. You could rip the battery out of a laptop (I know yours can't be because stupid Apple) and it would run just fine right off the power cord.

That's what most of the fediverse seems to believe.

Palestine needs its own state, for sure. But unfortunately there is no way that will happen as long as Hamas has control of Gaza.

Just changed my voter registration. Farewell GOP, you were great for a while but now you have lost your way. I'm pleased to now be a registered Democrat.

I've never shorted stock before, but I'm really tempted to start now. RDDT will become the inverse meme stock.

You could also use DBAN to perform the erasure from outside the operating system.

Of course, anyone who has been watching Hamas for the last decade knows that they routinely lie about civilian casualties while simultaneously using them as meat shields.

I don't know where you're from, but asking about where one lives (in very general terms, such as city and state) is a common thing to do while striking up friendly conversation here in the US. Your response gives us cultural context and may reveal shared experiences.

No one who asks, "Where you from?" is asking for your street address.
