FT going for UBI a decade after we were calling for it to alleviate this

Lol. Lmao even.

Only socialism is really gonna cut it now, ship has sailed with the asset inflation crisis we’re about to hit

Huh, typically you’d set an instance to scale out, not in when CPU usage spikes

Apparently they did have a raw format called RAF and the processing involved “demosaicing” funnily enough given the thread we are in

You prompted me to look it up and my knowledge is apparently a bit dated on that one

I’d apparently read about Fujifilm doing this with some of their older CCD based sensors and they shifted away from that ages ago!

the only stuff that’s really on there is some music, photos, backups. If it gets lost, nothing important really is lost.

Photos are pretty important to a lot of people, I know that’s the most obvious thing on my server that people would miss and not be able to get anywhere else

FWIW, pixels don’t have to be square or in a grid.

Some professional cameras take photos with hexagonal pixels, for example

I believe these actually exist in some form!

The ones I’ve read about in the past are more art exhibitions than a conventional museum, but have a look and see if there’s something like that near you!

Reminder that zero “small boats” have come across in several days

This is a non issue used to keep idiots angry about people who have nothing to do with the people who are actually destroying their lives: the same people funding all this bile.

Wait for the centralised thing to fuck something up (and they will), then say “hey I’ve been using this to get away from all the bullshit of [service name]”

In the mean time, post & comment. The more content & discussion there is, the more attractive it will be to others. If you’ve got a niche hobby you’re passionate about, get a community going or try to grow an existing one if it already exists.

I comment way more on Lemmy than I was doing on Reddit towards the end, partly because the people here are generally good to chat to, but also because I want this place to keep being good so I can continue to keep using it.

Data track/session is the term

If it was done in the way where the data track didn’t show up for an audio player, it was probably an Enhanced CD/CD plus. If anyone is backing up old CDs it’s worth checking for this kind of stuff and saving it too. Given most people only ever rip the audio, loads of that stuff is going to end up as lost media before long

Well I’m sure the dollop of fermented meat in charge won’t try something as someone takes back his favourite coloured metal

A large part of the power comes from the cult of personality, they don’t have someone they can just swap in.

That and he’s surrounded himself with people who all think they’re gonna be the one who comes out on top when he’s gone. They’re probably most likely to blow up very publicly and eat each other rather than actually succeed.

I can only assume it will be renamed the “Board of War” in six months

In a modern society, generation by generation, we choose what tradition is acceptable to keep and what is not. We’ve abandoned many more traditions than we have kept, so they aren’t inherently sacred and unquestionable.

Anyone who wants to keep a tradition that causes harm is just malicious.

But there were plenty of traditions out there that just add richness to a culture, that stuff is good as long as no one gets hurt

Plenty of people are telling him to piss off, it doesn’t matter anymore, he has the keys to the castle.

He’s also surrounded by a cabal of the worst people humanity has to offer, who are taking this opportunity to get as much abhorrent shit done as they can before he kicks the bucket and this weird cult of personality they have dies with him.

None of them are interested in stopping this train, they’re getting everything they dreamed of and more.

So the reason he’s come up with is literally just he thinks he’ll lose?

That’s a very good reason for there to be an election, Donny

Apologies if you took it as judging, that was not my intention. I’m just pointing out they only listen to whatever their authority figure is. The ability to reason about something is not in their toolbox

California and New York should withhold federal taxes then

Gonna be hard to pay for goons if you’ve got no money

Using the word “convince” means you might not fully realise what you’re facing.

You can’t convince the brainwashed, it’s not about what is said, but rather who said it. Unless you’re one of the authority figures they take their instructions from, there’s nothing you can say to convince them because as far as they’re concerned, you’re just a lyin’ lib’rul Satanist or some other bullshit.

I’d hope you have more value to your kids than a chunk of money.

Sure money is always helpful, but I’m in no rush for my parents to kick the bucket. I’d rather they run my inheritance down to zero if it meant they got to stick around a bit longer.
