It's mostly the porn.

Me and my partner have been wanting to start/join one for the last decade, but life is complicated and we're bad at talking to people.

Because evaporative cooling is much cheaper and easier to accomplish at scale, and megacorps don't care about long-term resource constraints until it begins to affect their wallets.

I know this is true for most employers, but I'm not sure I'd be willing to be confident that there's no way for any company to know. I've heard more than one report of companies that sell that sort of information to certain partners.

Since it seems like most of the comments are along the lines of "haha stupid maga idiot 😂😂😂", I'd like to make it clear that 404 Media is actually a pretty left-leaning publication which appears to be reporting on trump mobile from the standpoint of "wow, let's see how bad this actually is". Their reporting is mostly tech-focused, so this is in their wheelhouse.

That said, if it were coming from any other source I'd be laughing my ass off.

To be fair, it's entirely reasonable to be able to expect that paying money for something should get you the thing you paid for. It's just the current dystopia that we live in where corpos can't be satisfied with anything other than the continuous extraction of money from every possible consumer.

Yeah, same. The only beverage containers that don't contain plastic are glass, and even those the lids are either entirely plastic or plastic underneath to seal against the glass.

As a former truck driver: can confirm. It was mostly freeing because I could actually go to Walmart or do laundry in the city without worrying about where and how to park.

Also, without a trailer it accelerates a lot faster. Like, genuinely spending more time shifting than accelerating. Feels weird.

In my jurisdiction, backfeeding your house from a receptacle is very illegal. Transfer switches and interlock kits exist for a reason.

For anyone wondering exactly why it's a bad idea: Power from your generator can, if your house isn't isolated from the grid, travel back into the utility lines and backward through the big transformer at the utility pole (so now it's a few thousand volts again) and give an unsuspecting linesman a nasty surprise. People have died from this. It is a bad idea.

Wouldn't Google's crawlers respect robots.txt though? Is it naive to assume that anything would?

Jellyfin Is completely open source, fully self-hosted, and free. With Plex the software still has to phone home to a central server for authentication and some features are locked behind a paywall.

No streaming software is going to find movies for you (without paying for content they've licensed) because that would be a sure fire way to get the project taken down for copyright violation.

you see, Oceania was always at war with East Asia
