I try to use local stores or other websites, and only use Amazon if I can’t find what I need there. But at least half the time I end up having to use Amazon because I can’t find what I need.

It’s probably a kind of vicious cycle: as Amazon eats further into profits of other companies they are more limited in what they can offer.

I’m genuinely surprised Utah isn’t higher on this list. I’ve driven in many states, and that state has by far the worst drivers I’ve encountered.

Yeah, but they’ve already shown they are woeful at basic counting and math. Look at how Bondi was claiming their crackdown was going to save billions of Americans from fentanyl.

She’s probably framing her argument to include more than just Latinos. She probably wants anyone who isn’t a white Christian cis conservative fed to the gators.

What up! We’re three cool guys looking for other cool guys who want to hang out in our party mansion! Nothing Sexual. Dudes in good shape encouraged, but if you’re fat, we expect you to find humor in the little things. Nothing Sexual.

With tungsten cubes apparently. Lots and lots of tungsten cubes!

JavaScript, AJAX, and modern web frameworks have pushed us away from displaying information in a pure and clean way. We need to go back to a better time!

Looks at no-HTML websites

Shit, we’ve gone back too far!

Exactly!

Screw that. Give the government a way to track my vitals 24/7 and sell that information off to their cronies in the private sector? No thanks.

They could probably use some of that thermal energy to power lighting that would grow some veggies and other low-resource plants. Although they probably aren’t set up for that today.

ETA: Turns out they are set up to use thermal energy to generate their own food, which actually makes a lot of sense given how resourceful they are as a people.

That’s not how knowledge works. You can’t just have an LLM hallucinate in missing gaps in knowledge and call it good.

I gave up Reddit after the great API fiasco. Once in a while I check out Bluesky, about the same frequency as I look at Mastodon. But about 98% of my social media time is spent on Lemmy.

Especially that punisher skull motif with the Trump hair. That takes the cringe to a new level.

Cybertruck drivers.

ETA: Regular Tesla drivers I give the benefit of the doubt to, because they might have bought their car before they realized Musk is a Nazi dickhead man-child. But cybertruck drivers basically knew and didn’t care (or still fanboi’d over him).

Every accusation an admission.

Pretty good advice. Although they are probably recommending that for more than just it being a Meta data farming scam.

Showing my age here, but the first time I remember using the web was in the mid-90s when there were only a girl’s of hundred web sites. Almost all of them were universities. But I remember going to playboy.com as a joke and being amazed that there’s was actually a website for it. There was also a pizzahut.com website that pointed to a specific restaurant in San Jose CA.

Awesome, thanks for the tips!

I started down the Jellyfin path after they made that announcement. It’s super easy to install, and in many ways the UI is nicer than Plex. But I ran into challenges getting my server safely accessible for users outside my LAN. And I haven’t had the time to look into that further.

Would be great if there was a clean, easy way to set up the webserver portion so it’s as easy to share content entirely as Plex. But I get they are a volunteer project with a lot on their plate.

Good news good Signal.
