I will go even ONE step further than others - if you are scared to start a software like Truenas scale that has a GUI has helped me. A lot of the options offered by others are great but can require a lot of command line stuff. There are a few OS’s out there that are more point and click that I had a lot of success with. Truenas scale runs the docker containers that others are recommending.

Tbh I think a lot of people bury that logical side deep down and compartmentalize. The narrative we tell ourselves can be quite powerful.

Want to truly understand how good it is? Try getting a specific thing out of a pocket with a thick glove!

I see. That makes total sense. Thank you for the information!

I guess both? Platform recommendations like yours will help point me in the right direction to figure out the admin part bit by bit. Much appreciated

I just moved north to Minnesota and the cold winters have somehow kept malls alive. Nowhere near the mall culture of previous decades but maybe worth a trip North sometime, if you miss it

This reminds me of my experience with COVID lockdown. Obviously, a pandemic and the vulnerable being sick and losing over a million American lives (and much more globally) was horrible. But for a short time, it was incredible to see the amount of people just visiting parks in the middle of the day and enjoying the warm spring that year. Getting outside to nature was a way a lot of people coped with the isolation and it was beautiful in a way. Moms and grandmas were sewing cloth masks, distilleries switched to making hand sanitizer, people in my area began using local businesses more. There was a definite sense of community, even if it happened through FaceTime calls and social distancing. There are always silver linings to tragedy, I guess.

People doing work for the good of the nation shouldn’t have to “game” a system to justify the work they were hired to do. It’s problematic and wrong.

To the surprise of nobody. Did they think he would hire/use real people to scrutinize thousands of emails full of subjective data? I wouldn’t be surprised if he just does whatever his private super grok tells him at this point. If I was a federal employee I would’ve tried to fit in as many keywords like “essential” into the blurb to trick it.

My only issue with it is that on my iphone, the app constantly freezes and says I have 3 photos left to upload. It’s almost certain to freeze for a few minutes and the upload becomes stalled as well. This behavior made it take a long time to backup my library and it makes it a pain in the ass to share photos quickly with people. Popping into the webUI has none of these issues (just no uploading of my photos). I still quite love the app

Davinci resolve studio has had a pretty great AI de-noisier for awhile now! They also use AI to be able to turn off certain instruments/parts of songs ( and its local!)

My bad. I just don’t like generalizing large swaths of people and places as better/worse. Just feels like a slippery slope to saying “all Russians bad” or whatever groups of people because you believe are worse off. I get the point, I still think it’s problematic. I’m sorry

What exactly are you trying to say? I can barely understand this post. Do you have examples?

Society tried that for a bit. It was called Facebook and most people just found ways to be jerks on there too!

My guess is dismantling citizen protections to allow him to do as he pleases to create a long lasting legacy. The guy probably realizes the sky is the limit and wants to be able to do anything he wants without laws and other frivolous things in his way. Especially if he is controversial his name will ring out through history as “influential” whether it’s good stuff or bad (seems like he’s okay with bad)

Not to give them ideas but couldn’t he just fund his own fake Wikipedia clone? X-cylipedia or some shit? Claim it’s the truth and it’s very existence becomes a PR trap for the media who will cover it like hotcakes for free

Google tf2 classic and be amazed. What you speak of has existed for years
