If the road is marked as bus only, surely it’s still bus only? That’s how it works here at least, road signs etc. are applicable until removed. Doesn’t matter if it’s still there because government forgot to remove something. You obey the signs because they keep the roads safe.

For 2500 you can get a solid cargo e-bike where I’m from.

Would recommend RustDesk instead.

Have to individually reject each and every fucking “partner.”

Figures that a slop company’s CEO wouldn’t have words of his own, rather have the machine generate slop for him, but this stuck out

We can’t stop the bus, but we can steer it …

What a bullshit statement. It’s not that you can’t stop it, but rather that you won’t stop it. It’s an active choice you’re making, and not a compulsion like in the case of a kleptomaniac. Machine learning isn’t some natural force, it’s entirely man-made and we can stop whenever we want.

No, you’re not uncontrollable kleptomaniacs, you’re just doing the same shit the rich elite has always done; you exploit the world around you and you get away with it scot-free.

Also, you can stop a bus. It’s an integral part of how they fucking operate. Not that I’d expect a CEO to have ever been on one.

I’m not entirely sure what you’re asking here. I do not use any bridge between the two, but rather searched in separate communities for my answer. Would’ve been lovely if I could just use a search engine to search indexed forums or so, but since for some reason chat clients have taken the place of forums that’s just not doable.

I’d like to move away from Discord but sadly a bunch of friends still use it. I haven’t read up enough about the bridge thing to figure out if it actually serves a purpose I’d be interested in or not.

I spent nearly three hours today between discord and matrix trying to figure out how to get these two pieces of software to talk using a certain protocol.

Imagine if there were online indexable platforms where people could publish this information so it’s easily accessible rather than having to scour through message logs hoping to find the right keywords. Such a technology surely doesn’t exist already, right?

I hate discord.

Lots to learn here today! Thanks everyone!

Lähdetään uimaan!

Of course they’d act first when it inconveniences them. Ugh!

Here in Sweden there’s one thing all our parties agree on; drugs are bad and anyone who takes them are morally bankrupt. According to sewage water tests in parliament, plenty of our parliamentarians are coked up on the job.

Our drug policies are super strict, to the point that people are dying because of them. Our ministry of health has recommended that we relax them a little, and for some reason this is the hill all our parties are willing to die on.

I guess I’ve pictured electricity a bit too much like water. I still don’t quite get how or why this works, but it’s really cool that it does!

That said I’ve no plans on messing around with that kind of thing as I’m terrified of electricity. I electrocuted myself as a kid and that experience stuck. Rather like I did to the dough hooks I stuffed into an extension cord.

Oof. Copyright that shit before Disney steals your idea.

Edit: I stole that joke, but apparently it was “someone” not “Disney” and now I feel like my life is a lie.

Yay for Neo-Nazis in government. :(

Huh, the wiring just supports power spontaneously coming from an exit point rather than an entry? Is that commonplace?

Either way, that’s fascinating! Thanks for taking the time to enlighten me!

Only nearly? Shit, I really gotta put my back into it, then!

Microsoft is so deep in the AI nonsense that asking them to stop pushing CoPilot is time wasted that could be better spent on something else, like moving to a different platform. I honestly don’t really see the point of remaining on GitHub. To me at least it doesn’t offer anything particularly important I can’t get elsewhere.

I’m paying $850/mo. for my 2-roomer, with a glassed in balcony. Would definitely forego my balcony if I could pay only 350 for it, but that’s a pipedream. $500 upcharge for a balcony is nuts.

Then again, my dear friend spontaneously got her rent increased by like $1500/month a couple years back, and that sort of practice would be illegal where I live, so I could see how charging $500 more per month for a balcony would be a thing.

I’ve never heard of balcony solar panels, much less ones you plug right into an outlet? Asked my German roomie and he’s got no clue either.

How does plugging a power source into an outlet work? I’m no electrician, so that sounds bananas to me.

Visa marriages! I think here in Sweden at least it’s not super difficult to get permanent residency via cohabitation, and cohabitation doesn’t even require any particular paperwork. Granted, it’s been a while since I looked into it, and with a government that’s all chummy with the alt-right our immigration rules have gotten tighter, so things might’ve changed.

I’m hoping with the massive anti-US sentiment going right now, that the next government won’t be right wing.

Last month, he was rehired only to be fired a second time — after courts ruled some of Trump’s layoffs illegal, then legal again.

Fucking hell.

Fuck it, if they do this I’ll go stinky as a protest. I’ll stink so bad that the politicians will be forced to regulate.
