Comparing Japan to a prison colony makes it look a little more reasonable.

To wit: RepRap

I’ve never been, but the Black Forest has two segements, 394,000 ha (1521 sq mi) and 375,000 ha (1441 sq mi). Those seem big enough to become lost in.

Tech companies have learned that it behooves them to collect as much data as they can, even if they don’t have a present use for it. And with AI being so data-hungry, it appears to be paying off.

Did you know there are more people in the world than Trump supporters and Biden supporters?

assume that literally no one has any fucking clue what they’re talking about and everyone is lying

I’m not sure this is a new development.

(Not important, but the M in LLM is “Model”)

Here’s where it feels like pantomime - the comment above you says this

The 2020 election cycle saw $5.7 billion in political spending on the presidency, and $8.7 billion in the congressional races.

Princeton showed policy decision is basically made by wealthy donors. The wealthy are holding the levers by which they WOULD be taxed additionally and are not currently. Polls are virtue signaling, call me when the tax code changes.

Awesome to see, good luck to you!

If you’re looking for tips, I’d try to set up Prowlarr first if you intend to use it, it’ll save some reconfiguration down the line.

Though I don’t find anything as complex as mounting and permissions in the *arrs, haha.

But my favorite part about tinkering with home servers is just learning a little at a time, expanding naturally. It’s easy to find guides that are the “ultimate, best server configs”, but unless you understand what benefits they’re offering, you can’t really determine what fits best for YOUR needs.

I started with CouchPotato on Windows years ago and now have *arrs running through docker on headless boxes and keep adding on fun services.

Give people who target civilians what they demand

But I don’t want to give Israel anything.

Some laws are reactionary and some are preemptory. Laws are, most simply, a codified agreement on how we live.

you get into a state where militarily no one can do anything (except wage a war in a country that doesn’t have nuclear weapons)

ok, I got it. Give every country nuclear weapons and then there is nowhere to wage war.

This is where we say “patriot missiles don’t kill people, people kill people” and keep profiteering.

humans are really bad at caring for unproductive people.

That’s a current, not fundamental, observation.

you’re spreading propaganda. The tunnels are fair game for airstrikes.

The irony.

the youth don’t vote

Oh?

We estimate that 50% of young people, ages 18-29, voted in the 2020 presidential election, a remarkable 11-point increase from 2016 (39%) and likely one of the highest rates of youth electoral participation since the voting age was lowered to 18.

45-64 year old voting is in decline, declining from 75% to 71% over time.

But if I had an ebike, I’d have to share the roadway with plebeians.

Do you think our economy has changed since big data targeted advertising? Your example is the same as Blackmists’, essentially. We’re 30 years down a path and flipping a switch like that would have widespread repercussions. Again, I’m not saying the repercussions shouldn’t happen.

How would the advertisers get location IP if they can’t have the data?

Edit: whoops, got trigger happy. Anyway, I’m totally behind taking back control from advertisers. They have an outsized influence in society. I also think there are unforeseen consequences of your blanket statement suggestion that haven’t been considered, hence wishing for a simulation. Again, if advertising is less targeted, cost of customer acquisition goes up and most business models break.
