Asset manager says what everyone with a brain can see

No way, company created in 2015 burns through $57.9b (chatgpt told me this) without making a single dollar worth of profit in ten year and now the analysts are supposing it might collapse.

Lol

There were no good episodes of Seinfeld.

Fixed

There is no good in Seinfeld

(genocide support paedophile that he is)

When I was growing up in Sydney, heavily involved in drugs, anarchy and living on the streets in squats it was common knowledge there were protected paedophile groups that operated out kids homes.

Worse when those kids ran away and ended up on the street they’d end up street walking, being preyed upon by predators of all sorts.

Most were using because of the horrific trauma they had been subjected to.

I remember being warned about avoiding certain places if a particular predator was our a about cruising. They loved to target young men.

In 2013 we had a royal commission into institutional response to child abuse and it became very clear that children had been raped on an industrial scale.

People like Pell and Clancy (who I was peripherally related to) were not just actively involved but also running protection for dozens and dozens of serial rapists.

With politicians and law enforcement also working to protect these people.

Pell denied numerous victims, even after the priests were found to be rapists and sentenced, compensation and forced countless people to kill themselves.

There is no fate worse then I can imagine for Pell and his ilk. They are a stain on this earth and as bad as the fascists and nazis.

I can’t stand looking at Lemmy without Voyager.

Yeah, I use eternity and I’m grateful for the theme settings.

Also for godsake why isn’t swipe left for the next post a standard thing on these applications.

I tried all of the apps on the google playstore before reaching the last in the list, eternity which had a setting for swiping left for the next post.

That said the lack of advertisements is refreshing as is the horrifically bad “AI” moderating system that is so prevalent on reddit.

For mine workers this is sooooo fucking true

The fact that you, a human, asked this question, and got a variety of human replies is why I would say no.

Well they are on the fediverse/lemmy. It’s not dead, yet, simply because there aren’t enough users to create a RoI for bot/karma farming in order to push advertising and disinformation to the top.

I recently saw an internal report estimating that dark fibre in a particular country needed to increase several hundred percent in order to meet the demand from data centre and large facilities transmission needs.

Much of this being built for the AI bubble boom. When the next generation of DC come online the cost of per bot will continue to tumble to the point where it won’t cost much to turn even Lemmy into a bot ridden wasteland.

The point is here is one of these two command line utilities are objectively easier to learn…

I mean film is a family hobby. My dad spent forever building his dream sound system,

Sounds like my mother. She was a film maker, worked on a lot of big films.

So upset she decided to get rid of 60 years of speakers and gear to the local hifi shop instead of her son (and we were by no means estranged or with some weird broken relationship ie I’m leaching off of her).

Just discovered it was all gone when I spent 3 months watching her die (too late for recriminations when the cancer has adled their brain).

and I built my “fuck yeah it works” system out of his discards (I have to recognize hardly anyone falls into great sound systems the way I did but by crab god, I’m a musician if I’m going to treat anything it’s my ears). I got a decent working 5.1 system of 25 years old cones and tweeters,

Yup. Took her speaker shopping and had to watch her grimace cause all I could afford was some shitty Yamaha kit. Thanks Ma. You could have given your son something out of your vast dragons hoard. Maybe the Tanoy studio monitors that you had sitting in the spare room???

just spent some money a few years back to buy a severely outdated receiver because the one I had (have technically. still gotta clean it up and take down to the relic shoppe) was made before hdmi and was having difficulty communicating with modern devices over optical audio.

Got her outdated circa 2000, albeit, $3k Yamaha receiver because she had it as her editing den system (and she passed before she could break the room down).

We had goddam electrostatic speakers, 1 metre wide for godsake. I thought I’d be passing them down to my son and so on. But noooo she had to sell them along with the valve amps and solid state amps she built.

Sigh.

Goddam parents.

I hope suppliers to Spacex and Tesla, who have to sit across the table to this raping, nazis, scumbag start to rescind their business.

My PC is an electro mechanical pinball table from 1971 (Williams Klondike, btw) running Puppy Linux.

You guys are snobs. No, seriously, youre totally elitist. You feel like the unappreciated scholars, so you shit on the people who know less than you.

And that only matters if it is enforced.

So my understanding of the creation of the US constitution was most of the framers were the oligarchs of their day. Rich, businessmen, landowners, brewers and so on.

They, their money and power, was directly affected by the British attempts to tax them. So they came up with a social contract (albeit a broken one, riddled with contradictions and errors (all men, ahem, not black, are, apparently, created equal)) in order to convince a whole lotta people to put their lives on the line to fight for their money freedom.

The people who should be leading the US into grinding general strikes, the democrat party, and its money men (entertainers, Hollywood and a host of corporations) have yet to have their money affected by Trump and his oligarchs/fascists.

Until they are you are on your own

Which is why a grass root movement needs to start pushing for a general strike, a national, union for the people, not based on employment that supports and funds front line protesters and people in critical jobs, to strike without losing their homes and families.

There is a wealth of funds, hell a single multi millioniare could be setting up food and support for large scale protests. A dozen multi millioniares in the 100m range could be funding a huge social moment. Yet their fucking cowards.

Until their doors are kicked in they won’t give a shit. Which is why I’ve stopped watching US anti Trump shows like Colbert, Seth and Stewart.

They made millions and millions of dollars warning us about trump, speaking truth to what mainstream politicians refused to say let alone do something about. Yet they won’t speak truth that justice, freedom and equality are no longer universal anymore. The social contract is being ripped up.

Which is why you can’t leave it up to anyone who claimed to be a leader.

Start organising. Start meeting with your neighbours, community and start finding like minded people

to show how rich I am.

A neighbour recently skipped out on his overdue rent and had all his shit dumped on the street. For a second there when I saw a optiplex style clone I thought i was gonna strike it rich stripping the DDR4 out of it

It was DDR4 but, sigh, 256MB sticks.

Wtf. I looked at the case and it had a XP sticker on it. No wonder he abandoned it.

This PCB was designed to be an arrowhead by the looks of it.

Which if you fire it into the exposed port on the drone that is hunting you, you’ll be a able to hack it to your side.

What shits me with Linux commands is they don’t make sense.

Copy, diskpart, dir and so on make sense.

But Linux. Bah.

Cp, lsblk (sudo fdisk -l) and ls.

I know it’s an a old dog thing but having used dos and windows command line for over 50 years it just makes me so frustrated to see Linux commands and their switches, syntax and parameters so obtusely obscure, purposeful, unnecessarily filled with complex jargon.

I write sql and python so I’m not unused to this sort of world but everytime I use Linux I find the command line, the supposedly masterful feature of the OS, just painfully, unnecessarily, poorly designed.

copying and pasting strange commands from strangers on old forum posts)

Yes exactly the only way to obtain the help is via weird forums where you waste hours reading posts from people trying to do basic shit. Half the time it’s for the wrong distro, version or whatever bullshit problem you’ve got.

Like godforbid you want to mount a drive that won’t mount in the GUI version of whatever kernal distro ver you end up getting.

You end up writing ridiculously long commands to do shit I can do in a handful of words that make sense in plain English.

Just shits me that MS is hellbent on enshitificating windows, forcing us to find alt.

What choice do we have anymore

My mate’s ZX Spectrums had no “information superhighway” connection.

Used a 086 Amstrad to connect to BBS’s

That was the proto-internet that I miss even now.

Reddit has had something like it for a while. I can’t remember the sub’s name but it was hilarious.

But what is good about this is you can actually get a good feel for what are are bots, not just in lemmy but across the net.

I think the following is clear

• Epstein was a pimp
• he procured children and women to be used in awful, highly illegal acts
• he recorded these acts, using the information to extort and blackmail the rich into various schemes and scams, not to mention for information
• this explains how his net worth / wealth jumped several times, especially when he was young and somehow made millions with no clear explanation, at the time, as to where he got the money from.
• we have a huge amount of information from the victims that he used girls as currency
• considering the circles that Epstein, the people he was involved in, including heads of state, former heads of state, politicians, factional powerbrokers, scientists, actors, celebrities and a multitude of oligarchs.

These are the circles intelligence agencies walk in. But who he was involved with is probably gonna be harder to work out.

What about Murena? I wonder if it can defeat Pegasus’s hacks.

That said if I was going to criticise a violent regime like the House of Saud I’d be using a burner phone, and not accepting random messages.

The Pegasus hack reportedly uses an exploit in imessage to execute unauthorised code.

Then don’t watch a video captured by a phone

Look i just left reddit because I’m deeply unhappy with their bullshit moderation / AI system (banning people for criticising MAGA morons) but dude this is not being deleted
