All of the 0s are threads that have been up for hours, have several dozen comments, and are some of the stupidest threads you have ever read.

Good website.

This is straight up Milton Friedman thought. He is the architect of our ruin:

As Friedman emphasized, “Inflation is an old, old disease. We’ve had thousands of years of experience of it. There is nothing simpler than stopping an inflation—from the technical point of view.”

That remedy took a specific form: “The only cure for inflation is to reduce the rate at which total spending is growing.” This cure involved a temporary side effect, as Friedman noted: “There is no way of slowing down inflation that will not involve a transitory increase in unemployment, and a transitory reduction in the rate of growth of output. But these costs will be far less than the costs that will be incurred by permitting the disease of inflation to rage unchecked.”

When you are arguing with neolibs on economy, you are arguing with Milton Friedman.

Restaurant, what’s that?

For students we do actually, except we put it on school districts and teachers to self enforce under penalty of being directly held liable for data breaches.

I work in school IT so I’m very familiar with the requirements (of my state anyway).

The system we have is fucked. Teachers (highly tech illiterate) have to use services that have signed our states privacy pledge, if they use a service that has not signed the pledge, and there is a data breach, they can be held directly liable.

The pledge states that the service shouldn’t store any PII on students, but there is no way for the state to verify this. I know first had that every software we have has PII of students (names for example). I doubt these services are storing encrypted display names for example. However a common naming convention for accounts in schools is to use parts of the students name. No idea of these services would store encrypted usernames or emails either. Failure to “follow the rules” might see the corporation sued by the state but again, never legally tested. This was all born out of a multistate lawsuit against Google because they were caught scraping student email account contents for targeted ads when they said they didn’t. In my district were moving forward with a new naming convention for students that is simply a random number to cut down on PII.

Anyway, the district is under no direct threat from the law, but does “require” it to list all the software they use. This requirement has no penalty for noncompliance.

None of this has been legally tested yet. The threat to teachers is high though (loss of license I think), so we try really hard to keep them informed and in compliance with the law.

Nothing at all, but we both know that.

I used to be a heavy Tasker user. I think I hit a wall with building more complex rules using their interface, which made me stop using it. Maybe they have a way to just write a script instead now, but I haven’t looked into it.

Narrator: A common tactic of engagement from the liberal is feigning interest in a topic, as observed here. They undulate and warble in a way that mimics genuine interest to lure their targets into conversation, their goal, unknown. Science has yet to discover why a liberal will engage in this performance. Their target tries to engage with this dance in good faith, over time, as the target finds themselves talking in circles, they realize the deception. Not a completely useless exchange, however, as it signals to the rest of the spectors withing the area not to waste their energy, reserving it for another day.

You can go read it yourself. Your blind faith will prevent you from doing so.

Can anyone provide resources on learning about him, the BPP more generally? Published works, speeches, etc?

This topic is easily the most under taught topic in American public education, leaving me dreadfully under educated in this history.

Man I can’t imagine what transitioning that many sites to WordPress is like. God speed.

@True@lemy.lol the liberal power poster.

Powershell, yeah I said it!

Anna’s archive.

How does Sonarr and Radarr detect what files are the correct episodes?

LogSec is really nice and flexible.

Clearly this is an act of a truly crooked and evil supreme court subverting the will of the people. This kind of thing would never happen in the good old USA. /s

It would be the death of this side of the federated internet. The amount of content it would generate once federated would crush existing servers. You would have to defederate or face near instant storage shortages. The federated que would take years to sync.

Anyway, it wouldn’t happen because they would need to transmit real vote counts instead of fuzzy vote counts. You would be able to see how every single person on reddit voted. Which would simply expose the vote manipulation going on there.

These guides are very well timed! I just bought a NAS for the home network.

aw hell yeah! I didn’t need that anyway.
