I can also recommend the book Mindfuckers - a source book on the rise of acid fascism in America. Each chapter is about a different cult from the 60s and 70s including one on the Manson's. Super interesting read.

Bad faith argument, borderline flaggable. But I’ll bite. Do you not see any issue with mass surveillance of people’s movements? I’m an American living in Turkey at the moment. My airbnb host tells me that as a white collar software guy, he

Contabo, an even cheaper alternative to Hetz, raised prices this month as well by 30-35% as well. Just noting it here because i couldn’t any info elsewhere.

I wonder how aws handles this in bedrock. Do they use Anthropics classifiers? Or their own? Or none? Would their data policing be different in bedrock than their other services?

That idea was minorly present during Clinton and Bush, by the time Obama was in office I think it was clear that was never going to happen. The book covers the period from 2016 on, so long after that neocon dream.

Cute. That is the commenter’s whole point about monopolies. Google is on record making their product worse to squeeze revenue. We’ve been living in the enshitification economy.

I hope this news travels to more gen pop. My 82yo MIL uses Firefox because she’s concerned about the acceleratingly encroaching “police state”. That being said as an IT manager, it’s hard to tell my employees to incur the friction of broken

I’ve been working on doing this with Coolify. There are very few coolify settings to backup, and then all the application configs are stored in /data/coolify. And I use kopia to backup all the volumes. It’s not pretty, and a littl

Dokploy ergonomics I found just a bit lacking, and switched to Coolify instead. I daresay the feature that swayed me was force “pull latest images” button on coolify (convenient way to update any app), that was weirdly not available on Dokp

One of the big claims is that perhaps the Biden administration had a policy of issuing ssn’s to illegal immigrants. I’m not agreeing or endorsing but this is one of the issues their looking into. If Elon were trustable as an honest broker,

Totally agree there’s something unnerving about these utopic systems pushers. However, there’s a strong argument to be made to to the question, what does our socio-politico-economic system look like if we leave it “un-designed” and let it g
