Costco has been ok for me.

Meh. I’m holding out for wretched hive of scum and villainy.

If they own houses that is public info.

Does that mean they are enlarging the inventory now? As opposed to dismantling old bombs as they make new ones (modernization while keeping the number constant)? I thought there was a treaty capping the total number but haven’t been keeping track.

Expert calls Musk’s ‘Doge’ involvement ‘one of the greatest brand destructions’

You really have to see what the db is doing to understand where the bottlenecks are, i.e. find the query plans. It’s ok if it’s just single selects. Look for stuff like table scans that shouldn’t happen. How many queries per second are there? Remember that SSD’s have been a common thing for maybe 10 years. Before that it was HDD’s everywhere, and people still ran systems with very high throughput. They had much less ram then than now too.

WTF. What could possibly go wrong. Flip phone here I come.

Ok I used to feel sorry for non-libre streaming software users, but this is now in “one born every minute” territory. Thanks.

What the heck is this thing? Should many of us care?

Oh I see. Yeah DVD drives generally use the same SATA interface as hard drives.

If you mean a 2.5" drive (laptop sized) then yes you can generally do that. 3.5" drives are usually 1" thick and won’t fit in a slim DVD drive slot.

Article doesn’t say what kind of food. Bah.

It’s a substack (ugh), but you can click “no thanks” under the email field and it takes you to the article, which is by Ryan Grim. The article is somewhat hard to understand though, as it jumps between a few different topics.

So, I’m sticking with Lemmy. It’s not perfect, but at least it’s real. Maybe we’ll get the true decentralization we’ve been promised one day

I thought we had Usenet since the 1970s.

Rep. Joe Morelle, the top Democrat on the House Administration Committee which oversees the Library of Congress and U.S. Copyright Office, is alleging it is “no coincidence [Trump] acted less than a day after [Perlmutter] refused to rubber-stamp Elon Musk’s efforts to mine troves of copyrighted works to train AI models.”

Who needs Russia for that? Is it because of the 4chan outage?

Background story from 2023. Multiple violent incidents and steroids and $30K cash were found in the guy’s car:

He was sentenced to 5 years in prison in CA but served less than 1, due to prison overcrowding. Apparently he was considered a nonviolent offender, wtf.

Thanks, that was informative. Appears to be 'roid rage behind the road rage.

I didn’t know REI was taking such a bath. It’s full in yuppie fashion now. It once was cooler but much smaller.
