  • Yup, those are the same devices for roughly the same cost. Being the same devices, they fit the same niche regardless of vendor. I think Framework is selling this to step into the “home/smb ai enthusiast” market.

    Id say their advantage over gmktech is the fact that you can buy just the mobo/cpu/ram combo. You dont have to buy the full desktop from framework, but you can. Thats “modular” in the scope of the platform. It lets you do wacky things like this video, where Jeff has already set up a half width rack mini cluster of 4 of them in an adhoc ai home lab data center experiment.




  • Most of the murderers were not wearing them at all. Only 3-4 of them were wearing them, and they didn’t activate them. The evidence of their cold blooded murder in the hospital was from automatic recordings.

    The Times Union first reported in December that the body cameras worn by those four correction officers were passively recording portions of the incident even though their devices had not been activated to record. Investigators were able to retrieve the video footage from those four devices because of a function on the Axon cameras — unknown to the officers — that recorded video when the devices were turned on even if they had not been activated.

    The body cameras did not catch the 2 other times they beat the victim in the ingress area and just outside of the hospital that some of the murderers later admitted to.

    What did Brooks do to piss these guys off? According to the special prosecutor, Nothing. Literally nothing:

    Our investigation further revealed that there was no provocation by Robert Brooks that would have precipitated any physical response whatsoever, never mind the physical response that was inflicted upon him,” Fitzpatrick said. “The fact of the matter is, he did absolutely nothing.”

    I’ve never heard that pointer bullshit at all. Can you link it?

    “Man” for “manual” is just an antiquated term kept around by Unix curmudgeons. “Help” is much better as it requires no explanation and conveniently is automatically abbreviated to its full name. It’s the common term used in most other systems that aren’t linux.

    'Man" isn’t sexist, it just sucks.



  • Your gmail notification point doesn’t track, but its the most minimal point so i’ll drop it.

    I dont think Substack is specially just a Nazi platform. I think they are Capitalists that will use any kind of speech to make money. While bootstrapping, they found a niche in leftist independent journalism. Now, they view far right hate as profitable, both directly with Nazi commentors and being paid large sums to enshittify the platform from far right figures.

    They dont care about racism or hate because they are rich and it makes them money. That does make them bad people, no matter how many leftists they also profit from.

    I absolutely expect they will follow a Twitter style path from here on out, with or without Musk at the helm. Once you let the Nazi’s into the bar, they take over by driving everyone else out. Substack has said “come on in!” so they will. Some leftist will remain for a while, but eventually the Nazis will be all that’s left.

    I expect you make some kind of living off Substack? Maybe look into Ghost as an option. They take way, way less money even when fully hosted.


  • Are you even reading the comment you’re replying to? It doesn’t seem like it.

    Gmail doesnt “push notifications” for anything besides receiving email. Recieving a spam messsage, i.e an interaction with a federated service that anyone can run, is not at all the same as a company’s app, that they full control, pushing a notification, that they fully control, from content on their site, that they full control. Comparing that to Gmail, which is in this case would be a neutral party to the content of the push notification, is not the same.

    I very clearly pointed out that i expect the notification came from a computer fucking up. You should re-read the comment to make sure you understand it. I also made it very clear that if you have nazi shit on your platform, your computers may fuck up and push that that Nazi shit out to people. The best way to combat that is not having Nazi shit.

    Either way, it’s good to see you accepting that “Substack welcomes Nazis” is accurate now. Maybe it wasn’t in 2023, the last time they made headlines for paying Nazis to post on their platform, but it is now. I expect with the very recent 100 million cash influx from far right Trump supporters, that isn’t going to change.

    Maybe stop carrying so much water for a site that is clearly absolutely cool with Nazis?


  • Comparing a platform internal push alert system with a random spam email is asinine. This was the companies own system pushing nazi content they host to users, all with their own tools.

    I have no idea what youre on about with the URL, but i absolutely accept that their notification system fucked up and mass spammed users with literal Nazi content they actively host on their platform. Machines break, computers are no exception.

    The “actively hosting Nazi content” is the issue. Not hosting Nazis is actually a stunningly good way to prevent your internal tooling from spamming customers with Nazi shit. Its nearly flawless. The fact that Substack does not employ it is the issue.

    Do check in and see if the two listed Nazi stacks get deleted. It would be a reasonable thing for Substack to do if they don’t want Nazis on their platform. If they don’t do it, I would expect that both of us will have our answer of what they want to host.







  • The only possible justifications are “to protect victims” and “to protect people from baseless accusations” if there really is no proof of anything.

    The first can be done with retractions. The latter is the issue for MAGA, as trump and his boosters have been claiming for years that the files are full of vile, evil shit that is being hidden and that they would expose everyone. They claimed this for half a decade, and were saying the truth was about to come out just months ago. They claimed they put 10,000 FBI agents on the case to verify the files, and gave MAGA influencers a “part 1” dossier to splash around.

    Suddenly, a few months later there is nothing to see, even as more and more leaks about Trump being a pedophile hit the news.

    Now they are playing games about releasing “credible” reports (i.e nothing with Trump in them or any republicans) and releasing everything but the files.



  • This wasn’t a big company ceo. The company, Astronomer, has between 200-500 employees. That’s still in “we are a family” territory, but its a bit out of scope.

    Your point seems to be that “all CEOs are thieves and liars, so dont trust anything, ever.” I think that’s more cynical internet puffery than an actual stance. No CEO, even at small companies, are looking out for your personal welfare, but there is a difference between someone who honestly accesses your business value and a lying liar that lies while they lie.

    Learning your CEO is explicitly the latter is useful and actionable info.


  • Duh, people can fuck whoever they want. As usual, there may be consequences.

    What I dont want is to work for a liar that’s breaking contracts and fucking people over. Once you find out that’s happening, you need to realize that it’s probally not isolated behaviour.

    If they are willing to do this to their wife, someone who can actually impact their life, they will probably not think twice about fucking you over, someone who cant impact them at all.

    Let me put it more succinctly: if the king is willing to behead his wife, hes not going to be concerned about your head staying attached either.
