There was some quote by a Greek philosopher who said that intelligence and knowledge are not safeguards to immorality.

Well said, and well put. Sometimes it feels a little lonely on Lemmy and the fediverse, but I feel good contributing to a decentralized web.

Yeah that’s ultra surprising

Dude that’s dope af

That’s a pretty neat Pic.

My favorite confederate war hero

I want this as a sticker for my laptop.

I’m gonna shill for FreshRSS and Feed Me. Been a fantastic combination so far.

Self hosting FreshRSS allows me to curate shit I care about. Even better, it’s private aggregation. Sometimes though, I miss the conversation around these topics. For that, Lemmy exists.

So I was listening to a Bloomberg Tech Podcast about this. Someone from some random media group actually said “consumer demand for ad supported content over netflix’s usual high production value dramas is up”

For some reason, that statement was both incredibly threatening and incredibly ominous

Is that Descartes?

I would laugh if only this wasn’t a terrifying plausibility. Imagine you have pneumonia and need a chest x-ray to confirm that was denied because you were out of network. Imagine there is no recourse because all customer service has been outsourcedto a very friendly chat bot who will kindly tell you ‘DENIED’ after arguing with it for 30 minutes.

It’s 70 F here in Houston, Texas. It is also wet and disgusting outside.

Amen

I am new to daily driving Linux and the DE environment I chose was KDE. Has been absolutely fantastic so far.

Excited to see what’s new, especially since I just joined.

That is some high grade cope. Highly refined. 99.99% pure cope.

Principle.

A friend of mind in IT suggested revouninstaller. I have never used it in practice but he says it might be helpful in this case.

Started out with a raspberry pi several years ago. Got my feet wet with entry level, beginner friendly NAS prebuilds. Hunted for recycled computer parts. Now searching for and actively acquiring enterprise gear that is making a massive dent in my wallet.

I, for one, want to thank Elon Musk for graciously backing up my highly sensitive government ID (that has my birthdate, eye color, height, weight), my biometric data, and likeness! It is such a nice thing to centralize all my most sensitive data into one giant honeypot waiting to meltdown. It is made even more appealing after he fired the entire staff responsible for maintaining this honeypot!

Wonderful, my day is complete. Thank you Alphabet for providing me a choice in which flavor of dystopian nightmare I’d prefer.
