Well, Wayland forces client side decorations which I’ve never agreed with.

The time on my phone changed.

At least give them a zip or jazz drive!

And in my library I actually know what version I have not some 2018 “remix”.

Same with my movie library. I can have theatrical and directors or unrated extended version.

😭

Last year’s murder rate in Birmingham was caused by a single person known as the enforcer for a gang. He was finally caught and is being charged with 23 murders over an 18 month period! There are quite a few more he is suspected of!

Edit: fixed autocorrect changing murders to borders and nurses

During the Civil Rights movement, it wasn’t until TV started showing live the treatment from Bull Connor in Birmingham against African Americans that the mood of the nation started to change to be in favor of Civil Rights.

So yeah, more people need to see people being abducted harshly every damn day until this country finally says enough.

It just seems to me that we should require data centers to pay for new capacity on the grid using 100% renewable energy.

That would keep regular citizens for having to pay for the grid expansion, would help clean up the grid and move it forward, and all that investment in wind and solar would help bring the cost of renewables down. It would be a win for everyone.

The model itself does not contain spyware nor is it filtered. Using the models locally (via ollama or llama.cpp) or in a secure hosted environment like AWS bedrock is safe. I was DeepSeek that way all the time.

I would never ever recommend using DeepSeek or Alibaba’s Qwen service though!

For some. But Alabama power has raised rates AGAIN to build another 2 gas plants because of data centers. My power bill has increased by 50% in the last 6 years.

If ‘—first-parent’ was the default way that git log worked, I don’t think we’d even be having this argument over how to merge branches.

In my opinion, the best strategy is to always use a merge commit, and then when viewing master, always use —first-parent which will ONLY show commits on master. This gives you:

• a very clean, linear history
• the ability to let people work in their branches in their own way (it is ok to merge master into your branch multiple times without rebasing)
• you can dig into the history of any branch if needed
• it makes it easy to backport changes as you can cherry-pick out the merge commit which contains everything.

The problem is just the default log view of git and tools.

The problem is all that ends up in the groundwater. Obviously industrial use is the problem, but I think it is responsible to avoid any herbicide especially if it is just to make your yard “look nice”.

Since 2013 we’ve seen disenfranchisement in Alabama in real time. Require strict new voter id, then close the DMVs in black and left leaning areas. Combine polling places in democratic leaning areas so they are further away and have long lines. Move polling places so they are no longer accessible by bus. Those are just the obvious ones, but the Republicans’ strategy has been to do anything they can to stop people from voting.

And every time a city tries to do something good, the state steps in and stops it. This happens daily in Birmingham, Alabama where the state is constantly overturning things the city has passed or the state takes the ability away from the city.

Except we can barely afford the bread and circuses right now. This is true of people like me that 5 years ago thought they were doing really well…

And in Alabama, when the city of Birmingham banned plastic bags, the state turned around and made a law that banning plastic bags was not allowed 🤦‍♀️

US companies must comply if they serve European customers. Reddit may make you try to prove you are European and deny it.

I believe under the CCPA which is a California law that is also strong and would also require them removing your data. It might apply to them even if you don’t reside in California since that is where they are based.

You could try a GDPR request. They are required to actually delete it permanently from their database and backups.

Of course it is public. But I can be pseudo anonymous. I can have multiple aliases on different instances and I don’t have to register my phone number or other personal information. There’s no trackers tracking every damn thing I look at and correlating it all together. I can use it over Tor or VPN if I need more anonymization…
