So, OS-level age-gating is going federal, which will effectively kill your rights to device ownership and what's left of free speech and expression.

Enjoy your free speech while you still have it because this is a clear attempt to erase that right.

SOPA never died, it just went into hiding until time to reemerge, and now's that time, this is basically SOPA in a save the kids trenchcoat.

Clarence Thomas on Wednesday delivered a televised broadside against progressivism, a political philosophy he described as an existential threat to America and the principles that founded it 250 years ago.

“Progressivism seeks to replace the basic premises of the Declaration of Independence and hence our form of government,” Thomas said in a speech at the University of Texas Austin Law School pegged to the nation’s upcoming milestone birthday.

A spirit of “cynicism, rejection, hostility and animus” toward America -- by Americans -- has taken hold, Thomas said in remarks carried live on CSPAN.

It took a bit to get the color balanced just right, but I think I’m satisfied. I think my whole big thing, the stuff I like photographing the most, is cities at night.

Thanks for seeing my work!

Eat the rich

Hi everyone! I've got a question about some guys at work who are pitching that we need a server. This is mostly a sanity check, but I'm pretty sure they're full of shit

The law firm I work for uses a CRM that doesn't have an open API. This is important. You can access a daily updated copy of your data from an S3 bucket with an API, but it's essentially read-only for that reason.

They said they want to set up a server for the firm for " automation" using n8n. We can't use n8n because it doesn't have a native integration with our CRM. They also set up Dropbox for the firm (prior to my time starting) and the firm pays for OneDrive with Microsoft suite already...

Then they said they want local ai for automation so they'll

"Just put a 5070ti in there" For an ai agent for the entire 15-20 person firm. They also never specified what said ai would do. I also think it's completely not viable

Then they said all 3 locations can just use tailscale to access the server simultaneously. All of these people minus me and one other are completely non-technical. I help them restart Excel once a week non-technical.

I cannot possibly think of a viable use case for what they're describing. Am I cinical or are they just looking to make some cash off whatever project they don't know anything about?

The dots were added later.

Picked up some celery leaves to make a stew.

I have been harvesting celery from the 4 bunch I bought at the farmers market 2 years ago and planted them in a pot on the balcony.

It's the best 4 Euros I've ever spent on the market.
