I mean that certainly makes it best-in-class

It will be interesting to see if philosphical zombies exist. I guess we should know for certain in the next couple of years.

I use a reverse proxy for Jellyfin remote access, people saying you need a VPN or Tailscale (which is also a VPN) are unnecessarily paranoid IMO. That said, I'm a software engineer…

I've always struggled with writing by hand primarily because I tend to over-tense my grip on a pencil/pen even with an ergonomic grip attached. I learned to touch type pretty early…

I can do all of this stuff with my Jellyfin server for the yearly cost of a domain name

Yeah, they unironically just attacked a strawman and sat of their laurels

Carbon monoxide... in an EV?

Re:choice of display, I'm betting it's for power saving. If you need a better display you can use the HDMI port or DisplayPort USB-C port and just hook it right up to a monitor/TV

It can be a useful tool and an economic bubble at the same time. The dot com bubble was due at least in part to the overbuilding of fiber infrastructure in the US.

Sounds like it's a fairer system that would be harder to corrupt. You're right, it'll never be implemented because we're totally infested by regulatory capture.

A gargantuan "everything company" like Amazon is the very definition of a monopoly. In any functional society this beast would have long since been broken up before becoming domina…

For real. My dad got his MBA and proceeded to lose his job within 4 months and never got another one in the tech field again thereafter. Everyone said they couldn't afford him. He …
