I’ve been converting my entire docker stack to rootless. You run into a number of issues where certain applications simply cannot handle having that limited access, especially on smaller or more niche projects. The documentation doesn’t offer solutions so you are just shit out of luck unless you can troubleshoot it.

Well rising interest rates around the world + more attractive stocks for traditional businesses are no longer strangled by tariffs. Migrating that capital isn’t going to be favorable for a sector that needs every single penny.

Well their personal computer didn’t get hacked.

Is it really controversial to be pro-peace and to not want civilian deaths?

Honestly, I wish white poppies were easier to get a hold of. Finally bought a batch after wanting some for years. More appropriate now than ever.

Remembrance day since 9/11 has just been pro war on terror propaganda and was pretty sickening for me going to school during those years. Got a bunch of friends and other people my age, killed and wounded in Afghanistan for nothing. For me thats what the red poppy reminds me of… that and the embarrassing fact that we need a charity campaign to keep care of our veterans. Maybe the government owes them better care?

How many deaths have we allowed in Ukraine, Gaza/Lebanon/West Bank/Syria etc… and Iran?

When you own and run public companies, the damage remains.

Meanwhile, random queer artists have their Instagrams nuked for no discernible reason.

Im just realizing that Youtube music pushing so many remixes in the discovery was just enshitfication or IP shrinkflation.

I dont even understand why music labels would want to work with these platforms at all if they are actively doing everything to cut them out and rip off their IP. Who needs enemies with friends like that…

Knowing what salaries are in Montreal, they must have been bumping up against funding partners saying 90k a year for everyone (before other benefits?) is wildly unsustainable.

“noting that the studio is still working toward legally becoming a co-op.”

Its so fuckin cringe how they are still messing around and havent gone coop yet. Its really not that hard. It’s so fishy. Going around saying you are a coop when you aren’t is unethical.

The whole thing belongs to the founders 100% and the coop stuff is functionally theatre as far as anyone is concerned. They own all the IP. None of the workers have any of the legal privileges afforded to them by a worker cooperative, only what the founders decided is “cooperative bahaviour”.

I’ve known these guys since college and when they founded the place. At this point, I think they are posers.

I’m sorry to the people who lost their jobs and that your bosses outsourced it to your peers to fabricate consent.

The first result is always “Why are asking us when you can just google it?”

McDonald’s does but its still more expensive than making hamburgers at home, why?

Because profit motive is an inefficiency.

Profit motive is also a misallocation of limited resources. Regular soup kitchens can feed hundreds of people at the cost of only a few dollars per portion. The only advantage they have is buying wholesale. Imagine spawning out of thin air a nonprofit with the vertical integration and logistics of McDonalds. How many people could it feed for next to nothing?

There’s also been a multiyear trend of dropping ad sales overall, especially with higher quality companies. Meaning they need far more impressions of the same buyers to make ends meet.

They are all experiencing a recession, hidden by the Ai bubble, so the only people buying ads are lower quality scam companies, gambling and other bullshit. These are less sustainable clients that can vanish at any moment.

Ads targetting people who cant afford to buy things are also not super viable.

I always fall back to the examples of when ai beat humans at chess and recently at go. That feat hasn’t made those games obsolete. People still practice and learn them for it’s own sake. Both and many other games are more popular now than they have ever been in history.

The same can be said for athleticism, story writing or many other things. Its just not about ticking a box and “winning”.

I believe them in that, in so much as I think they are unable to improve their models anymore. Training expenses have been dropping and model improvements have been unimpressive lately. They kinda peaked early this year.

They won’t train on the open internet, because they won’t train at all.

They already trained on everything and employ virtually no scientific experts anymore. They aren’t seeing the jumps they want so they pretend it’s just too dangerous for the public.

Sure call it SI, for Simulated Intelligence, because that’s all it is, an illusion of intelligence.

I’ve seen so many Discord servers just devolve into degeneracy and power tripping. Anything that wrecks those kinds of spaces is good for everyone.

Living in an asbestos mining town was probably even worse. You can find video of people in the 1950s living in Asbestos, QC, wiping the dust off their cars before going to work at the mine. People have long known it was dangerous, still the companies like Johns Manville couldn’t be arsed to invest in masks, ventilation and other security measures.

It’s still widely used in developing countries, notably India, China, Indonesia etc…

We should find alien life that is resistant to it and sell them all our asbestos.

Canada left out? Where do you think the Asbestos came from? 💀

Old people still call it La Fete de Dollard. lol
