@404media.co this is an interesting video about ai youtube moderation and monetization: www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5-b...
they're a 1.2Bln view channel ... might be an interesting story to look into
New word, Ignoracist: A person who is too oblivious to see obvious racism behind a set of policies and actions.
One more thing of interest is the oddity of Point Roberts, Washington, a small inlet that was overlooked when treaties were signed, so it's a lip that is US. I frequently mail things there because Canadians purchase PO Boxes to have a US address
There's a profitable business opportunity by formalizing this loophole as gig work.
Essentially you purchase on behalf of a foreign/US buyer, then you ship as a gift, collect a handling fee and reimburse the cost and avoid any tariff.
I'd keep my eye out, It might already exist.
What I've started to advise my buyers is to find an American friend to purchase the item and then have them send it overseas as a gift to avoid the fees.
Usually a few hours later someone else in the US then buys it. I assume they're taking the advice, especially since I'm selling mostly rare books
So this harmonization code system for eBay, @404media.co Is what sellers had to deal with up to maybe 2020?
You had to slap on an extra sheet with these codes and sometimes you had to cancel an order because there's complicated lists of prohibited import items for each country.
It was a mess
I was a fan, donated money, bought the books. Then when the opportunity arose they unzipped and pissed on my face.
@404media.co I'm a subscriber, going on the 30th, really like what they do.
But honestly maybe I should skip it
when it comes to podcasters, @mikeduncan.bsky.social @thedollop.bsky.social and @iwriteok.bsky.social are all total assholes in RL. In each case, in my 5 seconds of interacting I shared a thing I spent months researching interviewing, cross checking...
Each one was basically "cool. fuck off"
The Empire State Building - 4 Statues of Liberty = First Down.
What's so hard about this?
Honestly I already do. And I only trust keyboard events as wakeup.
it might be too much to ask for but a linux laptop that doesn't routinely freak out and freeze when you put the lid down would be just great.
how do you people put up with pyright, ruff or any of that horseshit? It's 100% wrong 100% of the time.
Let's admit it. Google is killing itself by intentionally making the most unsophisticated and broad interpretation of your query possible
If I look into the Linux kernel source I'm sure it says
On lid.close:
Battery.drain()
Freeze()
CPU.Max()
This is the most complicated, buggy broken thing I've seen in weeks, of course it's labeled "made easy" with a "quickstart". Broken hot pile of garbage

I've done this test and so far only models over about 100b can get it right
who was the ruler of hungary during the administration of calvin coolidge
it was kingdom of huungary, but there was no king - there was a defacto head of state, Miklós Horthy. It's contextually tricky.
"smart" is a term developers use when they want to ignore user input
They've been running this scam for decades: intentionally mess things up, blame scapegoats on it and rally the base.
It's the same as sabotaging public resources in order to privatize them.
They're destroying things now in order to have things to blame "liberals" on later
But they're in an actual death cult. Look at these people, they're totally cooked.
all i want on linux is copy and paste to work and the focus to follow the mouse. that's it. that's all i'm asking for.

Why isn't reboot --force default? Whatever dumb bullshit that's breaking your system making you reboot is going to also break your reboot.
People aren't just rebooting for entertainment.
It should assume broken
I realized that when printing documents that have links, the underlining of the links could be done as a digital barcodes so your phone can scan and resolve the link.
Excellent

Microsoft azure is confusing hot garbage. I totally failed to figure out how to use it but they still figured out how to charge me $35 for 0 calls, 0 resources, 0 things.
Hustling scammy trash
my roo system prompt is just a little scoldy.
