These JSON memes got me feeing like some junior dev out there is upset because they haven’t read and understood the docs.

The cars might be, but their weights are their weights and that is an apples to apples comparison in the context of

And now to make lighter EVs that don’t wear on the road so much.

🤷‍♂️ I could spend that two hours with my kids.

You aren’t wrong, but as a community I think we should be listening carefully to the pain points and thinking about how we could make them better.

Gonna just stream of consciousness some stuff here:

Been thinking lately, especially as I have been self-hosting more, how much work is just managing data on disk.

Which disk? Where does it live? How does the data transit from here to there? Why isn’t the data moving properly?

I am not sure what this means, but it makes me feel like we are missing some important ideas around data management at personal scale.

Maybe true, I don’t pay much attention. All I know is most studies and censuses I have seen show religious affiliation falling fairly rapidly.

🤷‍♂️

What would you think of someone who goes door to door trying to convince you a blubbery clown rules the universe from planet zebulon?

Is that a normal person just doing normal person things?

For the non-religious, there is no difference between the person above and a relgious believer.

I think it’s reasonable to ask why people still hold unfounded beliefs with the greater interconnectedness of the world making it pretty plain that not all these religions can be divinely inspired truth, so many of them are necessarily imaginary.

Nah, I like my community without the side of eternal suffering that so many religions like to threaten you with for varioua reasons.

I’d put my money on huge adoption of D&D in the utopian future before I put it on religion.

As a cishet white male who dislikes Voyager, I would absolutely have enjoyed a clueless straight Tom Paris trying to set gay Harry up.

Instead he turned into a fish and kidnapped Janeway to, and I will be very gracious to the writing staff here, have consensual offspring with her.

Why did I tell myself I needed to watch that show? Worst trek. 😢

Edit: Also, good on Kate Mulgrew for being way more Star Trek than most by advocating for inclusion. I do like Janeway.

Thanks for this, one of the more interesting suggestions I have seen.

Can you elaborate a bit on your setup? As someone running Jellyfin, curious how you’ve configured everything.

I will die on the Enterprise theme song hill.

It’s been a long way…

As someone who watched it with no nostalgia glasses: it is not good trek.

I can’t think of a really outstanding episode off the top of my head (maybe the Tuvix one? But even that is just … rough?). And there are some episodes in there that I actively dislike in a way I don’t with most of the other series.

I like Kate Mulgrew, she was a strong actor for the role and the theme is a banger, otherwise … meh.

Your ISP selling your browsing data is the hacker.

Too cynical a take to be real.

The above happens sometimes, and is maybe more common among older entrenched politicians (that we have in spades right now with the aging out of one of the largest generations ever). But most of the time it’s real people with real beliefs who want to change things. Governments are usually set up to change slowly, if at all, so often little seems to happen, but those gears do grind slowly based on how they’re pushed.

So, your take is definitely a way to make it so the political class can continue to exploit people - you need more people upset and willing to change if you want to make a difference, not lots of powerless apathy.

So close, if only you had said Mary McDonnell.

Name a main character. Not the actor, the character.

If you can, you’ll be the first person who has been able to that I have asked. (Though I have never asked online.)

This right here? ☝️

This is how “business” people save money.

STOP HIRING BUSINESSPEOPLE

Google is well known to do A/B testing, meaning you might not get a particular response (or even whole sets of results generated via different algorithms they are testing) even if your neighbor searches for the same thing.

So again, I ask how your anecdotal evidence somehow invalidates other anecdotal evidence? If your evidence isn’t anecdotal, I am very interested in your results.

Otherwise, what you’re saying has the same or less value than the example.

How would you expect to recreate them when the models are given random perturbations such that the results usually vary?
