I’ve learned that OG Luddites were not against new technology, they were against technology that disproportionately enriches the owner class. The common usage today was meant to discredit the Luddites as being against technological progress. I’ve been in tech most of my career, and I kind of want to take back the term.

Probably more jobs, and certainly less health compromising jobs, in solar and wind. I think Luddites would not support investing in coal, versus renewables.

Maybe “regressive” is a more fitting term for the MAGA death cult?

That’s a fair question. I guess I just hope (and do what I can) for a better future

Appreciate the transparency

I’ve heard it said that Walt was an antisemite, so I looked it up to confirm. According to an article in jewishpress.com the evidence that Walt was really an antisemite is weak but the MPA of the time had more things of concern… That same article goes on to equate anti-Israel with antisemitism so I doubt they’d give Walt any benefit of a doubt.

I’m not on Twitter, but I hear getting exposure to actual vile antisemitism happens quite fast.

I cannot wait for us to be past this “any criticism of Israel is antisemitism” and the US funding a genocide phase.

For real. I would love to believe this is true, but even if it is wouldn’t ICE just roll up on the event and start cuffing attendees?

In case you missed it from a few years ago. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Did_That!

That would get my vote.

Mandela Effect is a thing. The impulse to verify your understanding is a good thing, in contrast with people so stubborn they’d rather double down than admit they could be wrong.

Hopefully the pheromone treatment works and is an enduring fix. Incredible that only ~20% of the trees remain in MN after ~20 years.

It doesn’t sync between services, but last.fm can be your tracking source and connects to both Spotify (when I had it… assuming still true) and Tidal (ways to track Bandcamp and other streaming too).

I have to wait for the full calendar year to pass in last.fm, but I get more interesting stats than what I remember from wrapped.

Not a diagnosis, but sounds like depression.

Perhaps counter intuitively, exercise (get that heart rate up and sweat exercise) has always been the most effective for me. Managed my depression for ~25 years that way, such that I only have occasional (temporary) bouts of ennui.

I’d keep up with the touching grass too.

Thanks for sharing

Ahh. I glossed over that and was thinking, “no way Mexico can hit 2025.” Zooming in I got more clarity, but still those colors are ideally more distinct.

Only Norway is targeting 2025

I bought one of their NVRs, so that currently stores recordings. I have yet to figure out how (or if) I want to integrate with my NAS or other (tbd) home automation.

I get push notifications on my phone and watch by having the Reolink app installed.

I went with this but PoE. Happy so far.

Have not used Frigate

This happened to me several years ago on a similarly old account. I don’t think it was actually compromised, and I had no way to recover it as I had never set an email.
