@adamconover Yeah, the Mac way was not worth it. You could use the same hardware and go the Linux route. My setup is all containerized.

The one thing i haven't seen this year? Brands making April Fool's "jokes".
@jonahbk @rbreich my point is you keep saying you want to break up monopolies and that prices are dictated by supply and demand, but you don't address the actual problem which is *already very illegal*: cartels. It's not that it needs to be *more illegal*, it needs to be investigated and prosecuted.

Repeat after me: Wages aren’t pushing up prices. Corporate profits are pushing up prices.
Instead of relying on the Fed to raise interest rates, which could slow the economy toward a recession, Congress and President Biden should be taking aim at corporate price gouging.
@rbreich we desperately need cartel busting in this country. Topple the fat cat railroad tycoons and oil barons!
@freemo, my point is that masculine and feminine are constructs and are so complex and diverse from person to person and from culture to culture that any one behavior could easily be observed to belong to either. My definitions of each are different from your definitions. Giving a brief and succinct yet accurate definition is paradoxical and absurd.
@freemo I mean, you could definitely swap that.
@AmelieH@mastodon.social Eat the rich.
@Feral_nola @arstechnica I'm glad you said something because I read "pickle" the first time.
@drewharwell 2FA over SMS is already insecure. SMS is in the clear and is subject to MITM attacks. It's the *worst* 2fa. I hate that every bank uses it *and nothing better*. Use an authenticator app or a yubikey. Security is important.
I think the one thing that is very important for folks to understand about ChatGPT is that isn't a replacement for rational thought. It's basically a better autocorrect. It can lie, spew propaganda, and run itself in circles trying to rationalize the dumbest shit.
@violenceworks PLEASE!!
