Last Notes npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) Carsie Blanton did a great song on POSIWID: npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) - I feel like we need some sort of visual to identify these situations... npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) This one hits close to home…literally half a mile, where the SF Board of Supervisors meet. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) Great educational song by Cassie Blanton that reminds us of something @npub1fdr…lvhs always says: the purpose of a system is what it does. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) loving the cover art on @npub1fdr…lvhs’s new Book: The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Life After AI. Can’t wait to dig into this thing, and comparing it to what actually happens when this bubble pops. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) RE: https://infosec.exchange/@josephcox/116573254792291796 npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) It’s insane. I bought 6 SSDs a year ago to put together a home media server and it cost me maybe $700 then. Would likely be over $2k now. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) If you think the public sector cannot be held accountable, wait until you meet the private sector monopolies we've created! npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) I work in the CRM industry and have watched this for years. When it comes to both chatbots and human-centric support centers, the quality of content and interactions are generally proportional to customers' ability to hold that company accountable for a bad experience. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) RE: https://mastodon.scot/@kim_harding/116532575439934052 npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) It's funny...I can never make the gas mileage better or worse by changing the driving style with mine. And with a 24 gallon tank, I do dread filing it up. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) Brutal. My 2001 Silverado still gets 14-16mpg. They don’t see to have improved over the years npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) They did some epic movie references in that show… npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) The best thing about statues is that they can be ceremoniously torn down. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) Dear Leader on the passports...what's next? My bet is on some random pyramid hotel in downtown DC. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) I wonder what odds prediction markets are taking on whether Bibi will die in office or face a jury. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/116/382/459/168/308/781/original/b7fa2e53d6f25da4.jpg npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) These laws are absurd, forcing 3D printer manufacturers to literally implement the plainer of @npub1fdr…lvhs ’s #unauthorizedbread npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) 'Of course, tying individual executives' bonuses to making a number go up has a predictably perverse outcome. As Goodhart's law has it, "Any metric becomes a target, and then ceases to be a useful metric.' npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) Probably much the same way in which “de-identified” data is supposed to protect privacy…which is to say not at all. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) "Standin' on my roof with a rocket launcher" has relevance again... npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhsfn9IyiLQ npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) Just like we did when Reagan was governor. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) Amazing how quickly the ammosexuals quickly turn from "cold dead hands" to "not ALL people should have guns" npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) I've been calling ICE the largest human trafficking organization in the world for a few months now. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) They're not sending their best. Or maybe they are :( npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) I can barely see the road from the heat comin on… npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) I do agree. But two obstacles present themselves here: npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) It’s definitely needed. And a LOT of folks in rural areas don’t have the money to do it. So I suspect it will really depend on the level of subsidy and how much outlay it requires of homeowners. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) I will never NOT enjoy watching this... npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) Cory, THANK YOU for taking on the endless travel, putting up with the hassle of event after event, all while blogging, podcasting, handling orders, and doing everything else you do! I think many of us in the anti-enshittification camp appreciate it more than we often say! npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) More #TrumpPardonRecidivism npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) ...and at least Dolly Madison tried to save things back then. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) Some of those that work forces…act like asses of horses. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) Yeah. The trouble is, I'm always seeing them from a distance :) npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) It’s always struck me how similar the livery for Cal Fire’s Firehawk choppers are to the coast guard ones. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) I call them the Welfare Libertarians of the Great State of Jefferson…which would instantly be the poorest state in the nation if they ever realized it. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) An almost perfect example of @npub1fdr…lvhs’s #Enshittification in action; financially-engineered holding companies with many “competing” brands inserting DRM into the batteries they make to give them an informational advantage in denying your warranty claim. And a missed opportunity to make the battery better by using that on-battery computing to rebalance the cells. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) Funny, wasn't @npub1fdr…lvhs just writing about centaurs? npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) One of my favorite examples of #AdversarialInteroperability (as championed by @npub1fdr…lvhs and others): a site pop complains about me using an ad blocker, I put the site into the browser’s Reader Mode, and get around the annoying modal popup. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) Truly sad.... npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) I do miss Berkeley Bowl :) npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) Interesting. I didn’t realize there was a microbrew in North Beach. Will have to check it out sometime! npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) I think milk toast perfectly describes Newsom :) npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) The Panthers are so relevant again... npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) LOL... npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) Always wanted to fly one of those. Such a cool airplane. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) If you think about it, ALL dogs are therapy dogs. Only some receive recognition for it :) npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) #thoughtsandprayers npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) This is why Jesus(TM) invented the A-10 Warthog. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) I miss the days when there were competitors in telecom :( npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) That’s pretty much the worldview of the “Log it, graze it, or watch it burn” contingent…with subsidy-seeking thrown in for good measure. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) As usual, Dean is correct. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) Make Assholes Horny Again :( npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) The bible verses always bothered me. But this shit is beyond the pale. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) Glad to hear they will still insure you, but man...premiums have gotten bad, even outside of high risk areas. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) Homeowners premiums have become absurd here in CA. Are you on the Cal FAIR plan yet, or still with a traditional policy? npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) - I'm going to have to write VolksWafenSS down. That's a good one :) npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) Any Wemo switch is now #crippleware npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) I could (and have) spent hours on McClintock’s channel :) npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/114/724/595/894/437/373/original/4c348da8b042d0de.png npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) With plurality vote general elections, there will only ever be two primary parties. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) I'm with you there. Our experience with it in San Francisco has shown that it's harder to buy off pols. But the billionaires here have still found a way to control politics by taking over the Dem party establishment and by funneling billions (with a B) into local elections. It's not a panacea...it needs to be coupled with a strong political movement that holds the politicians accountable. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) ...until Shitler got hold of them :( npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) #Oregon just became the first state to end private equity and corporate control of doctor and clinical practices. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) I suspect they’ll eventually name one after #DUIHire Pete Hegseth. A white ship, no doubt. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) Now why do I find myself calling “Boyington” on my imaginary radio? npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) “I’ve got an idea…maybe if you give Shitler one of those really gaudy and obnoxious emoluments jets, I can convince him to keep the grift going.” npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) Habemus Perpetrator! npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) The statement “why would I bother to read something someone couldn't be bothered to write?” almost perfectly captures so many peoples’ feelings about #AI. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) I want a suite at the Fairmont Hotel... npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) I would say it’s the entire neoliberal project, not just republicans, that long for a return to the era of unregulated capital. They don’t need chattel slavery to achieve their ends: wage slavery will more than suffice. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) Right on! npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) I got to tour the Shuttle Carrier 747 at that same air show. The empty lower deck, with the crew rest area in the nose area, was pretty astounding too. Can only imagine having to ride that thing, at 200 knots max, and a low altitude, all the way from CA to Florida... npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) Got to take a tour through one of these at an airshow years ago. The size was just astounding...can you imagine what the AN-225 was like? npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) Sometimes he tries to do things…and it just turns out the way we all want it to! npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) That part of Udvar-Hazy is one of the most exciting and sobering displays I've seen...just steps from the Enola Gay and a P-38 Lightning. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) Also: I Wanna Kill Sam - Ice Cube npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) War Pigs - Black Sabbath npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) #StreetArt from #Oaxaca npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) I keep hearing news outlets, including NPR, uncritically referring to Musk's efforts to fire or handcuff federal employees as a cost-cutting measure. This is irresponsible: federal workers make up only 5%-6% of the federal budget. Any news article referring to DOGE's gutting of oversight employees needs to reference this fact. You cannot job-cut your way to cost savings in government. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) I mean, didn’t they make an entire movie about this? npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) Hard to choose between the Clash and the Dead Kennedys. Our cup ranneth over in 1980. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) Thought of another one: put your money in a credit union! npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) good stuff! I would add a couple of items: npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) I agree. Strong doubts that Dems can or will allow any meaningful resistance. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) I’ve started to believe that the best path is to lean right into this: if the fascists call you a socialist, own that label…seize the means of production, redistribute unearned wealth. It’s long past time to stop letting billionaires and their puppets control the narrative. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) I love that CA has no fewer than 3 A12s and 6 SR-71s on display: npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) Hmm, his wife did want to ban good music, so that tracks. npub1nvn4x7dqmsrce4eannlqapfgxmzwnz0fmum9kc7uwm9utq28ex9qfned62 JWM (Joe No Se) Be a shame if someone pointed a botnet at that thing…
