As I understand it, all DMPs of this type are subject to the vulnerability and so intel (and the newest m3) selectively disable it during cryptographic operations

That’s a really good use case that I will need to start using. In a use case such as that where paid ads make the search engines unreliable, the LLM is at least going to be on the same footing if not better.

Then you have the failed “Business Plot” of the 30’s meant to overthrow FDR

I can’t trust the output of an LLM but at least you can ask it to cite its sources so you can get the page that helped it come to that conclusion

In case you were wondering the Republicans on the FCC both dissent claiming that the FCC has no jurisdiction to ban lying because people being marketed too aren’t cable subscribers yet and therefore outside of the FCC’s purview. What a load of horse-hockey. Their next argument will be that the FCC has no right to regulate cable at all because the consumer hasn’t been screwed until they give the cable company their money at which point it’s too late.

As much of a free-market-enjoyer that I am, this is what you get when you vote Republican (or stay home).

Not to mention we often have such an imbalance between renters and landlords, in either direction.

Either you have state law that heavily favors the landlords with no protections for renters against exorbitant rent increases, no enforcement of the land lord’s duty to the property on the lease, and no recourse for renters.

Or you have state law that heavily favors the renters, with no easy way to evict problem tenants, caps on rent increases that don’t allow the landlord properly account for risk, and no recourse against tenants who don’t pay or cause damage to the property.

Either situation leads to higher rents.

I’ll admit I’m ignorant on the price of weed which is why I just left it at self medicate.

Where I live an hour visit with a therapist is about $180 if you don’t have insurance, depending on how often you get seen, you can easily spend that bar hopping or buy handles of crown over 2 weeks or a month.

If the weed is still leaving you anxious, saving for therapy or using resources to reduce the cost of it is worth a shot. I’m not trying to be a prude and say “don’t do drugs” I’m just trying to advocate for effective mental healthcare

I’m happy if the mail comes on time. I don’t think the government could properly manage these broad sweeping programs especially with radical changes to the legislative and judicial branches and elections.

Nor do I think you’d be able to get the states on board with this much radical change. Everything sounds ok on a surface level but rather than thinking pie in the sky, pragmatism would be needed on just the most important issues such as a universal health plan or education plan

Even if you aren’t against federating with threads on principle part of the challenge is going to be able to keep up with moderating their entire user base en-masse and being able to afford the cost of federating content from so many users at once.

It’s a burden I doubt a lot of smaller instances can handle.

You create a new account on a new instance and then you export your subscriptions and settings from your old Lemmy server to your new ones, you lose your comment history but that doesn’t really matter on Lemmy like your post history does on Masto

If you have money to self-medicate, you have money for therapy and to get medication from a professional

I’d suggest getting therapy. Perhaps explore anxiety medication. Having anxiety over conflict across the world that you have no control over and have little effect on you is not healthy.

Getting high is not effective self-medication.

Technically the Docs/Sheets/etc suite would be the SaaS portion of the subscription, but Google Drive is usually accessed as a web interface or app, not as a mounted drive so I think it still counts.

Google One and iCloud+

Google Drive makes it easy to collaborate on files with my spouse, family or colleagues. Makes it easy to have my media available where ever without having to host it locally or expose my local network to the internet. And free webhosting for my personal website using Google sites.

iCloud integration with my photo library is top notch. iCloud+ “hide my email” is great for privacy on my personal domain and a lot better than trying to deal with security and deliverability for myself.

I could probably get ROI on infrastructure and storage just by buying a NAS in 3 years or less. But I won’t get the time back to get the same level of security, reliability, and buy in for others so spending $99 a year on each is worth it for me.

I don’t think steam has been this boon for gamers either. In fact I no longer PC game because I can’t hardly get access to AAA games anymore without DRM. Of course now consoles are heading that way with requiring installs to on board storage and neglecting to include the game on disc in a playable state.

In my use case, Steam is basically bloatware. I download mods from outside sources, don’t play online with friends, and use better 3rd party platforms for chat and VOIP. It’s a frankenstein’s monster whose primary use case is DRM. That being said, it does provide value that other people care about. We are in the niche segment that cares about game licenses and ownership rather than conveniences.

Developers are allowed to distribute their games directly to consumers. Thats not rent seeking or a monopoly.

And Epic Games is just distributing games to gamers and providing services to developers at cost?

I don’t like Steam but its clear that Epic is just mad because they were late to market and would otherwise charge similar fees.

It doesn’t matter how many locks you have if you give the scammers the keys. And so many people give up the keys

Personal finance classes probably would have a non-negligble impact on the people that just mindless spend and don’t save for retirement etc.

But I would think also that the wildly inflated housing and child care costs and the inelastic demand between the two means just an unexpected health emergency or unanticipated home maintenance spending would leave a family in debt and living paycheck to paycheck until its paid off.
