Have a vintage 1982 Trek 311 that I am slowly learning the trade on.

Does anyone know how to mount a rear cargo rack on it? I don't see any threaded holes on the seat post or seat stay, except the two near the axle.

Agreed.

They should have never backed down on the Clinton comment calling them deplorable. They are.

This will eventually kill the rhizome/crown/what-ever-the-hell it is now?

I'm all for coming into the office, but I'm no longer commuting on my own dime. You want me in the office, for some messed up reason, my commute is on the clock.

Anyone know where this is? It sort of looks like something you'd see on the Mayo building in Rochester, but I doubt they have death fighting a doctor.

scratch that

I just google mayo art, and the art on the side of that building was more dark iron looking material.

I've tried using the firefox shortcut on my phone, and it's less than great (imho). I can't type replies, it goes all janky, freezes up, won't go back to the home page, etc. Virtually unuseable.

What device are you using? Perhaps its something with my google device not wanting me to use firefox.

I've been wondering about this, in particular in a covid, wfh, world. So many people from traditionally liberal areas (SF/NY/LA) moved to red states, I would assume that it would be assist in turning those states more purple, as some of those states (wyoming/montana/Idaho) won't take that many transplants to start that transition.

Oh, for sure. It's only 120k that separated Trump/Biden in 2020 in Wyo. NYC alone lost almost 500,000 people to pandemic migration.

Montana was only 99k difference between trump/biden.. and we know that a metric SHIT pile of people moved to Montana in 20-23. (Looking at you Bozeangeles)

I feel that Wyoming gets a bad rap, it's not that bad of a state. Some areas, just like all states, are pretty shit.. but I love Wyoming. I would move there in a heartbeat if I could.

This has been discussed elsewhere, and by people smarter than I, but chat bots are going to start learning from other chat bots and it's going to be less and less reliable over time, no?

Like there is an internet BEFORE ChatGPT, which is about as reliable of data as one could hope to find, and then there is a post day one chatgpt, which the data is already getting polluted by random LLM gibberish. How is google's webscraping going to know if the data it is getting is legitimate human being thoughts, or just random madeup shit from a LLM?

Right, but if they are training all new AI on shit they find online, like this comment, wouldn't that pollute that dataset, considering I generated this comment with AI?

It was... perhaps?

Guilty.

YSK: Signal is a great secure private messenger app comparable to others on the market. (restoreprivacy.com)

“When you use Signal, your data is stored in encrypted form on your devices. The only information that is stored on the Signal servers for each account is the phone number you registered with, the date and time you joined the service, and the date you last logged on.”...

I use this with most of my group chats. I'm an android user, they are all apple. Regular SMS messages suck between those two eco systems (thanks apple!).. but Signal works well.

I've pretty much retired my google chat accounts, and either use signal or regular sms

This is absolutely hilarious.

Is there discovery process here? I gotta imagine there are some damaging emails about legacy students.

Care to elaborate on what makes this better?

I'd love to deploy my own instance of either kbin or lemmy, but a ten buck a month price tag is a bit steep (imho). I'll wait until there are better guides for hosting my own.
