I hate that Lemmy is being infiltrated by AI ad spam now too :’(

This is such an obvious ad, nobody is falling for it

My so called blue state of California just voted against minimum wage increase, against rent control, against banning slavery, and for increasing the war on drugs. At least this time we narrowly voted to approve gay marriage (unlike last time where we banned it)

How often are you people screwing things up so badly that your servers aren’t reachable over the network and require keyboard/monitor access? This is basically only ever once for me for the initial OS install, and even then that can be automated away if I had to do it more than once every couple years

If anything I would expect vpn exit points to be located in higher density areas where presumably internet connectivity is cheaper, and higher density areas tend to be more liberal

Georgia the county or Georgia the country?

That’s like saying if you support gay rights protestors, you have to also support nazi protestors, or you’re being hypocritical. You’re looking at things on the wrong axis.

The streamers on twitch control how many ads you see. If it’s a huge amount, they opted into that. They get a small cut of the ad revenue

I think even more horrifying is that more people voted for Trump in 2020 than in 2016

Notice the footnote on every TSA webpage that their officers can always change the rules on the spot if they feel like it. So it’s always a gamble.

The big artists don’t fight this because they make more money under the status quo, and Ticketmaster takes all the heat and they can play victim while raking in the cash.

I like the overloaded power strip balanced on top of the heater, really ties the whole disaster together

I hate the YouTube clickbait style thumbnails, I’m not watching the video out of principle

Funny, this article was directly above in my feed:

Im not sure I see a real difference between them?

One of the main methods of video delivery is actually by sending a series of 2 second video clips over http. So it would not really take much processing power to insert ads in the middle, it’s not like they are having to encode video or anything.

Sweet wallpaper though

Merge into the gap, then slow down slightly to extend the space in front of you, and let the guy behind you slow down to extend the space in front of him. It’s not complicated

I was taught it was the responsibility of the car getting on the highway to match the speed of the cars on the highway. If you’re already on the highway, keep a constant speed so the people getting on can match you. So he kept having to slow down because you were also slowing down. Just like the assassin pretending to be nice in the diagram, I think you were technically in the wrong here.
