Big city for sure, I don't want to need a car and I do want to be able to get groceries 23.40 at a Saturday night. It's nice to have a group of 500k+ people actively trying to supply for all of the needs and wants I might have.

So I mostly fried the SSD by using it to write and rewrite ML checkpoints and logs, this in turn made the device read only and I somehow managed to migrate to a different SSD probably using clonezilla or something, but it messed up the bootloader so I installed refind in a new partition, configured it and voila it works. It's scary because you need to do everything without seeing your system even half alive anywhere along the process, but it's not actually hard, just copying data and installing/configuring a bootloader. But for a then 20year old at his more or less first job my head was on fire for the 1.5 days this took.

By far the most difficult single thing that I've ever had to fix that actually had to do with the system.

I now don't flood my SSDs with data that is constantly rewritten.

Yes and it feels subjectively to be connected to generally more rigours testing / recommendations specifically in the way that nowadays YouTube is much faster to get me recommended channels that are a little further away but still close to the stuff I'm already watching.

Unfortunately that's true if I watch good video essays or effin vtuber clips so...

Ah yes because 2M people without any ~15cm diameter metal pipes sugar and fertilizer makes a lot of sense.

It's also literally always trying to monopolise the platform for a market and then essentially extract rent from that platform, which is stupid, Uber and Airbnb (....) provide an app and maybe a little customer support but joink N% percent of each transaction.

It's not everyone gets an equal share but "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" this is the aim of socialism and what most people on lemmygrad probably want to achieve.

And we are so far away from that, and rich people defend their privilege so violently, that a transition towards it is transformative or in other words revolutionary.

Capitalism will never approach that because capital will always defend itself and thus always exploit the worker and nature, for it's own gain. It will always write the laws create the systems and create the plurality of news and culture to support itself. It will spin up system upon inneficent system (...) just to not give up the last bit of profit and control.

Providing an alternative will never be as easy as "everyone gets an equal share" and every socialist will know that. The only people who will provide this reductive explanation will be people who know next to nothing about socialism, or even just communism / ML. Or have been thoroughly indoctrinated despite good knowledge. At least all the socialists I've read or heard have tried to find a much more nuanced alternative, instead of pretending there's just no point or no need to search for one.

Ich würde das jetzt als Selbstzweck begründen, wir müssen Reformen einleiten und bis 2030 Mitglieder aufnehmen können, weil die nötigen Reformen gut für die EU sein werden. Ob man dann Mitglieder aufnimmt ist ja unabhängig davon es überhaupt möglich zu machen.

The method behind the road blocks is: Block road to hold normal people hostage -> normal people get angry and demand change -> government changes it's policy towards your demands. Yeah everyone knows climate change to be a problem but if nothing is being done despite that you have to apply pressure somewhere, so because Fridays for future moved the needle maybe minimally, by doing normal marches, you start to be the tiniest bit annoying by blocking streets without prior warning.

The very few people getting stuck in traffic from these protest are really just innocent bystanders but, they also need to change, and both the real targets, so politicians and rich people, have enough influence to easily shield themselves from the effect of protests, apart from maybe the private yet stoppages which the same groups also organised.

And at least here in Germany the media coverage about climate change is now much more frequent than before LG started blocking the streets. And the coverage is only interspersed by talking about the protests themselves not singularly about the protests. So there is at least some noticeable change.

These people don't do nothing, they are fighting for my right to live 60 more years in relative peace and prosperity, protests and civil disobedience is far from doing nothing. The political message that gets told whenever any of them is interviewed is certainly much more nuanced than the slogan as well. And the reason they are on the street to begin with is because they themselves also have few choices, if the people going out to the street had power apart from their time and body they would be and are using it towards that same goal, but obviously their power via other ways is insufficient.

All in all if you think you act efficiently and fairly towards climate change reversal/reduction, but write a comment defending your 45min car commute, you might be missing something.The lack of public transport in your city for example isn't solved by just continuing to use it without reflection about why it is that way, and honest investment into fixing it.

The idea is that air exchange mostly happens through a heat exchanger, so the air leaving the house warms up the air that is entering the house, for this to actually work all other parts of the place need to be airtight, because otherwise your heat escapes.

If you think ~10M is the dangerous kind of rich then yeah, most people realize that 100M+ or even 1B+ is the people that are actually severely dangerous. Especially the people that end up with that number somehow after several bankruptcies...

Yep but honestly live traffic and occupancy for buildings, as well as my own location history for me personally is just too useful. I can find out where I was for essentially any point in time since ~2016 data that would've been lost to me several times if I were to have kept the data myself.

Naja der überwiegende Teil der Schauspieler ist sicher nicht bei Millionen pro Film sondern weit darunter, in einem anderen Beitrag zu dem Thema z.B. wird der Tagessatz von Extras/Statisten auf ~180$ beziffert, und die Gewerkschaft muss dementsprechend für die Mehrheit ihrer Mitglieder verhandeln, also auch mehr Geld fordern wenn dass wichtig für ihre Mitglieder ist.
