Hah, you're right, it does look like a bass guitar, however there's another band member playing guitar in the video.

This video clip never ceases to amaze me, with him viciously playing an electric guitar and there isn't a guitar to be heard in the song.

I was answering a technical question on Reddit last night when I realized that, while it might help the person asking it, I am also fueling Reddits profits, training AI, and supporting a big American corporation by providing free knowledge.

So I reconsidered and I deleted the answer I was writing.

I will use my reddit account read only from now. No more upvotes, no more downvotes, no more comments. AdBlock enabled using Firefox for all sites. I already use Linux instead of Microsoft. I don't have Facebook or Instagram. I de-googled my online accounts and e-mail and moved my domains and e-mail to a Swiss company. I drive German cars. I will consciously start vetting my purchases to be not from the US or China. I will buy local as much as I can. When I build software, I will not host it on Google or azure or aws. I'm looking at nextcloud for my next pet project.

The list is growing, and every little item I can add to it gives me a little more satisfaction and peace of mind.

I assume you have heard of An idiot abroad?

It's a comedy, I think a lot of the misery is acted, but fun nonetheless.

Don't take shortcuts doing DIY. Prepare, use the right tools. Don't skip steps or do things "quick and dirty". Clean up afterwards.

"Making money with other people's content is shitty"

What reddit, xitter, meta and pretty every big corporation is doing right now with A.I.?

Nikki Hayley is an opportunist. She sees Trump potentially losing and is shifting herself into a position of plausible deniability. If Trump were doing better she'd be completely on his side like she was when she was his spokeswoman. She knows he won't live until 90 and is positioning herself to become more powerful in the republican party.

One if the few newspapers left that criticized the Russian government. They operate from abroad now, and still publish online.

I think in general the u.s. journalists are not really critical. So much extreme things are being said and done and no one seems to be questioning how and why.

Where are all the real journalists at?
