Shoestring Lab

Friday nerdity- a 20 minute guided tour of installing Pop_OS! 24. I did this install on a virtual machine. You can do the same if you want to experiment, or burn the ISO to a USB stick and install to your SSD. Back up Windows if you decide to erase it. Caveat emptor.

@mattforney @JohnDoyle This is why the Left wins. They love institutions, they love being in there day after day and grinding it out. The only way the Right wins is to burn it all down and start over, otherwise we just witness a slow decay of the system into malignancy.

Reminder that @JohnDoyle is always right. Here he discusses the utter stupidity of Joe Kent resigning like a bitch instead of working within the administration to get his priorities enacted. None of you understand politics. Watch John and you will learn.

@EricLDaugh Everybody gangsta until the bills go unpaid.

🚨 LMFAO! New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is being mocked nationwide after she BEGGED people to move back from Florida 4 years ago, she was GLOATING, saying Republicans should "jump on a bus and head down to Florida" Mamdani will make the problem EVEN WORSE!

Whites are the only ones who pay taxes and obey laws. We are an exploited slave class.

@KaMillYon1 @TukiFromKL lol, you would be shocked if you knew how things really work.

@Shoestring_Lab @TukiFromKL Of course it will. All you can do is observe and adapt. And align yourself with the paradigm shift. The relationship between people and government is what makes this possible; you now voluntarily pay into a system that takes more than it gives from you.

🚨 Let me explain what Jeff Bezos is actually doing here.. > He already automated the warehouse workers with 750,000+ robots.. replaced checkout cashiers with cameras.. tested drone delivery.. built robots that move faster than humans.. > Now he's raising $100 billion to BUY entire manufacturing companies.. not to run them.. to automate them.. he's not investing in factories.. he's buying them to empty them.. > This is a man who built Amazon by undercutting every small business in America.. who crushed bookstores, malls, and retail chains.. who made same-day delivery possible by burning through workers so fast they literally ran out of people to hire in some cities.. > And now he's coming for the last thing left.. the factory floor.. the one place people said "AI can't do this.. you need human hands".. $100 billion.. not to create jobs.. to buy the companies that have them and remove the people inside.. your factory job survived the recession.. survived outsourcing.. survived COVID.. it won't survive a billionaire with a shopping list and a robot..

@Rahll No, he's saying he needs another $100 million in sales next quarter, so start burning tokens, son!

Wait wait wait waaait a second.... He's saying he wants his $500,000 engineer to actually cost him $750,000 by using $250,000 worth of AI tokens. Wasn't AI supposed to make things cheaper, not cost 50% more?

@LifeNewsHQ Communists hate Christians. This will continue to happen until Europeans fight back.

Sweden has taken away a couple's daughters because they're Christians. Swedish authorities took a Christian couple's two daughters away over 3 years ago after false claims of abuse because Daniel and Bianca Samson attend church and have family prayer. The country labeled them "religious extremists" because they won't let their daughters wear makeup or have cell phones. Now the European Court of Human Rights has ruled against the Samsons and is trying to take their parental rights away permanently. ADF International says, “This is every parent’s worst nightmare… The state labeled the family as religious extremists solely because of their active practice of their Christian faith.” Please RT and comment if you support these Christian parents.

@codeaholicguy @sundeep And then a codebase nobody can debug with an LLM, and then you start all over again and Jensen makes another $100 million selling chips to Anthropic.

@sundeep Token burn rate as a KPI. That's how you end up with a codebase nobody can debug without an LLM.

“If your $500K engineer isn’t burning at least $250K in tokens, something is wrong.”

Jensen wants your engineers to burn lots of token so he can sell more chips to the AI cloud companies.

@KaMillYon1 @TukiFromKL You fail to understand how the cycles work. This isn't about technology, it's about the relationship between people and government, the very structure of society. We're in a mega Fourth Turning right now. In ten years, things will look very different.

@Shoestring_Lab @TukiFromKL You’ll fully embrace the new Ai & Robotics Age in the same way that you’ve embraced the Walmart Age cutting out mom-n-pop stores, like you haven’t given a 2nd thought to cassette and CD makers and distys losing to the Digital Age, just as you’ve embraced this Social Media Age.

@ThomBrady5 Trump has already doomed China for the next decade at least. Iran is going to blow up all the oil and gas facilities in the Gulf. We'll supply oil to Japan from Alaska, but China will be screwed.

Everyone has been talking about how the next century will be China's century but the conventional wisdom has failed to consider the idea Japan remilitarizes

@ThomBrady5 @harukaawake Sister...

@harukaawake we Americans support you brother. We love Japan

🇯🇵 We're going to revise the Japanese constitution and we're going to have an actual army. There will be no more communism in East Asia.

@FischerKing64 If I was Apple, I would stick with their model and hope open source AI wins and Microsoft destroys Windows, leaving me as the dominant player on the desktop and making cloud-based AI an unnecessary expense.

Apple selling cheap laptops means it’s giving up on being an aspirational brand. Means it’s run out of ideas - which has been obvious for a while with the goggles and the thicker phones and iPads. It’s like if Mercedes entered the compact truck market.

@kevinxu Nothing to be done about it. Nobody knows what things are going to be like in a decade. I tell my teenage daughter to study amd learn as much as possible. Beyond that?

friend’s kid asked what they should major in college i almost cried what do you even say anymore

@tudor_creates @0xglitchbyte pronouns in bio, opinion rejected.

@Shoestring_Lab @0xglitchbyte hush now fourth reich

Damn, theyre trying to do it to arch too What happened to privacy and freedom?

@VladTheInflator He got cold feet because a couple of commies got popped by LEOs while being violent. All they have to do is cut off the money. Fuck.

What mass deportations, he never did mass deportations

Bitcoin influencer paid group of Los Angeles cops $20,000 to lure people he had grudges against to California then plant drugs on them and arrest them. How often does this happen and we don't know? ibtimes.sg/la-county-sher…

Hooyah! Getter done.

@KaMillYon1 @TukiFromKL They are in it together, who do you think created the system that allowed the broligarchs to get so wildly rich? Just so you understand how things really work, there is a revolving door between corporate America and DC. Burning it all to the ground is the Fourth Turning.

@Shoestring_Lab @TukiFromKL You guys blame the businessmen instead of the envious and two-faced politicians.

Whenever you read "net zero" from now on, just assume it means 99% of people get bupkis and the 1% who can pay the fees do whatever they want.

@EromancerSFW @dylanmtaylor92 Thankfully, open source means this crap will never make it into distros people who care about liberty or privacy will support.

The same individual responsible for adding age verification variables to Systemd is now attempting to add them to Arch Linux. I think we should all be asking @dylanmtaylor92 the same question as this user.
