Can i just say that i love your username (in reference to the disgusting one)

Are you trying to prove my point?

Sarcasm and irony on the Internet are dead though. We live in post-sane times, i cannot ever assume the other person is not completely serious about the utterly deranged and/or idiotic shit they write or say.

I must always assume that yes, that person is in fact as stupid as they seem until proven otherwise/indicated by an /s.

I used something called spotDL, it grabs your music from youtube. I also had to get several thousand tracks, but it still found almost all of them. Didnt find maybe 50 out all those.

Sovereignty as a Service

I am curious, how is india and pakistan doing what they do best a cause for a global conflict? In the two last ones it was a bunch of european states tied together through silly treaties and pacts and a whole lot of countries coming together to stamp out the nazis, respectively.

India and pakistan are neighbors and essentially two sides of the same coin with different religions, and as far as i know have no defensive pacts with any major outside power. So even if they went to full blown war it would stay fairly confined to the region, no? Excluding considerations such as trade impact of course.

Complete brain damage in charge. It is one thing to suppress uncomfortable data not supporting your ideological narrative, but it is outright stupidity to not only not collect that data and keep it under wraps; but to destroy the data collection device you own and control.

Can i be in the manifesto screenshot too dear feds

My client doesn’t show these things, and i’m honestly not interested enough in the matter to read someones bio to put their odd form of expression into context, even if it would show them.

For the sake of efficient communication i would suggest adjusting either by putting that context in your comment or by expressing yourself more clearly.

Who is “we” in this?

I agree that a lot of shows and movies, especially the more recent ones, have little rewatchability. You could always replace those with an armful of whatever is current and on your watchlist after you are done though.

And personally i have a couple of evergreens and classics i enjoy watching again now and then, and it is nice to know i always have something to watch even if i cant afford the subscription any more / the stuff i like gets region locked / fucking licensing pulls the rug. It also feels a little empowering to have my own stuff that really is just mine and nobody can revoke my viewing permissions, in the face of endless enshittification.

As for the media server, i am not tech savvy enough myself to run one so i just bought a large ass external drive. When i am away from home i just bring that thing and can watch my stuff on any computer and generally also tv i plug it into.

The key words here being “left with a library”. Your media, now and forever, at no additional cost, available whenever you want. I could not go back to netflix etc.

I would think since africa is such a giant continent they are genetically distinct herds that roam those territories and have little intermingling happening due to distance or geography. So over time they developed distinct patterns from mutation and lack of intermingling with other patterns, and since they apparently all fulfill the same function “well enough” there is no evolutionary pressure to correct it.

But how am I supposed to get to work at the co2 factory in my house sized truck on time when those fucking hippies glue themselves to the road??

I mean, the way I read it is “not a day goes by on which I am not regretting doing this”. So, every day you are regretting it 🤔

So you regret it every day? GOS is amazing in my opinion. What’s your gripe with it?

I keep a summary. Not always complete, or exact, but the general idea.

Unless it is entirely useless IRL, such as nerd lore. Then i get to keep more info

I can do a bunch of appointments in succession. I can’t have enjoyable free time, an appointment of some kind, and then free time again until another scheduled thing. All that free time I will spend waiting, on edge. Can’t relax when there is still a thing to be done.

Idk personally i kind of expect the ai makers to have at least had the sense to allow their bots to process math with a calculator and not guesswork. That seems like, an absurdly low bar both for testing the thing as a user as well as a feature to think of.

Didn’t one model refer scientific questions to wolfram alpha? How do they smartly decide to do this and not give them basic math processing?

Not paying your enforcers well enough to make sure they are loyal would probably be the dumbest mistake anyone with wealth and/or power can make.

Not saying it cant be done of course, but it seems a bit more involved than climbing over a fence after giving the guard some cigarettes.
