You really either ride it out or be OK with the chance of missing out on a few more years of a hot market. I’ve been expecting a big (sustained) correction since 2018 and even COVID couldn’t get it done.

If you need money soon, put it in something fully insulated, like a CD or HYSA if you need it even more liquid. If you need wealth in 10+ years, just ride it out. Keep putting that piece of your paycheck in the infinite money glitch machine.

Risk of Rain hell yeah. I need to play that again.

This explains why Korea lost their absolute shit when they didn’t make it out of groups.

I live in California and am required to water a lawn as a renter with my drinking water. Turf grass may not need drinking water, but I’d guess the portion of water used for grass that is recycled is not particularly high.

You may also be surprised about what makes water “drinking water”. There’s a water project in San Diego that is aiming to close the water loop by purifying all wastewater using RO and UV, to the point that it is lab-quality pure water. It’s illegal to add minerals to it and pump it into the municipal water supply. They have to discharge it into a river first and let it have a certain “residence time” in an open air reservoir. The water we drink here isn’t much more than lake water, and far less clean than the water that can be made by recycling wastewater.

No ethical consumption under capitalism. Can believe workers should be paid by the business owner and not by patron tips and believe that going to a world cup match to watch your country play your favorite sport is no worse than shopping at a big box store or paying your landlord.

Plus they also allow a user to present an age bracket of “over 18” despite defining users as under 18. I think they just did a bad job of clearly scoping it. It should be clear that it’s a tool for a parent to use and that it’s merely requiring that software implement age signaling all the way from OS to website to application. A default OS configuration should have no age defined and nothing should require an age to be defined. But if a parent does define an age then that signal should be honored.

Yeah I think the charitable way to read the law is that it requires OS, applications, etc to implement a standardized system for setting, requesting, and receiving age bracket data of a user. It doesn’t require anyone to use it. By defining user as under 18 for the purpose of this section it means nothing in the section applies to users over 18.

I get protesting about this because implementation is not trivial and there’s no time to do so. But creating a standard and all OS’s, websites, and relavent applications adopting that standard isn’t a bad thing (unrelated apps like text editors should clearly be exempt). It would make it way harder for kids to circumvent parental controls on a device.

Grad is definitely worse than ml, but enough people on ml are tankies (including the devs) that it’s easy to group both together.

40% of US cornfields are used for energy today. If these fields were turned into solar farms with natural meadows under them, not only would we actually recover more energy per acre than corn ethanol, but we would start restoring the American prairie that has been nearly erased from the continent.

It uses far less materials to build arrays in a field than over a parking lot. The panels don’t need to be mounted as high. There doesn’t need to be as much safety margin and protection of the panels because people won’t be underneath them.

The bigger problem is getting the power from solar farms to where it is needed, but this is also not as big a problem as anti-electrification lobby wants you to believe.

Yes but the point was that it couldn’t be proved using the construction that he defined. You can prove it easily with a different construction, such as defining the hand moves 1 meter per second and the object is 1 meter away, therefore takes 1 second to reach. But they couldn’t yet deal with this alternate definition that still followed all the existing mathematical rules they had at the time. A finite distance could be divided in half, creating two smaller finite distances, but they had no concept of infinity or convergence, so they had no tools to deal with a recursive division.

Ah but that’s the thing, I did let you borrow the crimps, with a little lecture attached.

It’s tough because obviously we don’t know each other. I don’t know if you have real interest or just wanted someone else to do the thinking for you. You don’t know if I don’t want to help or if I was just being an ass.

So I appreciate you actually trying to give real advice. I should maybe think twice about my comments like that. I will give some advice back.

I would love to see more people like you do a little bit of background reading and a little bit of critical thinking on their own before asking others how to think. Not more than a minute or two, maybe not even more than just reading the article to see if the answer is in it. You’re already on your phone or PC, the information is very accessible.

Instead of “How are they any different? Why won’t they just do the same thing?” it could be “I get that they’re open source, but couldn’t it just get abandoned anyway? That doesn’t seem any better than enshittifying, so how could I tell if that is likely?”

Look into Paxton’s history of using consumer protection laws to do the opposite. He has never cared about people’s privacy before. This is almost certainly corrupt in some way, probably to either pressure Netflix to do something for the GOP or to score political points with someone.

I had the same initial feeling. My first thought was why Netflix? Is it a proxy CA v TX thing?

It could be spurred on by some recent success in the courts from suits against the likes of Meta and YouTube for similar things.

Sorry for being an asshole about it.

I just never know with yall if my snarky shit will get +50 or -7.

It still bothers me how much of the comment sections here are full of people who didn’t read the articles but clearly I’ll need to find a softer touch :)

Hope you ended up giving Jellyfin a try lol

But, my friend, it is in the article. We’re not hanging out chatting and the idea of Jellyfin came up. We’re in a discussion about the article. You showed up to the book club and asked us to tell you about the book because you didn’t read it.

Nah I was making fun of them for initially saying they wouldn’t apologize for asking questions on Reddit, when on Lemmy lmao

I think it just shows you actually don’t care. I think some of the things you asked could be interesting if you had done any of your own reading first and had some context, but what you did instead was ask us to tell you what to think.

You can go do that on Reddit, or do you think that’s where you are now?

In the time it took you to write this comment you could have gone to the Jellyfin website and read the first 12 words on the page:

The Free Software Media System

Jellyfin is the volunteer-built media solution

It’s not free for a small town to litigate for years. The fact they settled so fast implies that the way they did it was not remotely legal. They may not have followed their own rules or state rules. Doing that is a good way to get a judge mad real fast. Judge could have put a preliminary injunction on the town to allow the construction to start while litigation proceeded. To do that the judge would have to determine that the developer was likely to succeed and that no irreparable harms would be caused. If the developers lost then they could just demo what had been built and restore the site, no harm done.
