There’s also an execution problem.

There absolutely is. Way too many of these fuckers are still breathing.

Those “good old days” were propped up by strong unions, excellent public education, high taxes on the ultra-wealthy, and not much regulation beyond not letting another stock market crash happen (See also: rivers literally on fire in Ohio and elsewhere).

So, 3 Good Things, and 1 really Bad Thing (that makes a lot of money). We’re currently speed running back towards the Bad Thing, we’ve effectively killed unions, public education has long since been gutted, and taxing the ultra-wealthy at all is basically un-American. So…

The Fix ~~Is In~~ Has Always Been In…

FTFY.

From what I can tell, notes are stored in the DB, but can be exported as JSON, or I think markdown. It sure about markdown. I’ve only been able to export JSON, and it didn’t include the image I had embedded in the note. Whatever isn’t a note (images, movies, pdf, doc, etc.) is stored on the file system in a directory structure that files them under heap -> asset checksum. Thumbnails are included there if applicable. In that regard, it kind of forces you to use its folder structure.

Also, it's important to remember, if resistance gets to the level of Jan 6, this president likely won't hesitate in implementing the Insurrection Act. That would effectively start either a mass slaughter of civilians and/or a civil war.

There are a couple of factors that play into the "lack of resistance."

Healthcare and employment are intertwined in the US. Also, healthcare is more expensive in the US than just about anywhere else in the world.
Employment in most states is "at will," meaning employees can be fired without cause. For most employees, there is also no employment contract. Unions in the US are very weak for the most part.
Most people in the US live paycheck to paycheck, and don't own their primary residence.

These are the ingredients of a captive population. They can hate something all they want, but objecting to it is a risk of losing everything they have. And that's not hyperbole. There have already been reports of people being fired for social media posts, and ICE collecting info on "anti-ICE" social media content. Unfortunately, this is going to have to get to a point where enough people are willing to die to oppose this. When the economy starts hurting the upper-middle class, things might change, but I don't know.

There is and has been resistance, and it's resulted in American deaths. There just hasn't been the craziness of, e.g., Jan 6 (irony intended)!

Some notes:

This can be self-hosted. My working compose.yml is below
Free until August, and he has a discord for feedback, but I can't find the invite. It was in the live-stream he did.
He said in the stream that he's open to open sourcing the project. Just not there yet.
He admits the licensing is a little confusing. He stressed that self-hosting does not have a storage or block limit. Also, self-hosting is possible with all licenses (I think).
Supports macOS, Linux, Windows, iOS, and Android (in beta I think)

I have the DB, config, and thumbnails on local NVME, and storage on NFS-mounted NAS. Working fine so far.

ETA: Correction in compose file.

This is one of the reasons I also have an iPad. That and reading ebooks. I mainly don’t like watching on the phone because I have to either hold it up the whole time, or I wind up hunched over and hurting my back.

ETA: +1 for Carmina Burana, and I’ll add Hall of the Mountain King, & Beethoven’s 9th for good measure!

Great, now I can imagine the prompt, “make an image of Trump with trademark neck vagina and Rambo’s body…”

This won’t happen, but the best thing BYD could do is offer a “private” connected vehicle that doesn’t harvest all its owners’ data like every other manufacturer does. Have it verified by respected third parties and advertise the heck out of it.

Like I said, won’t happen, but one can dream.

State law. Kind of. It’s Alabama, so…

One of the stupidest public consultations you’ve read about so far.

Nothing to be learned here. Move on, everyone.

You know how I know this isn’t AI?

Neck vagina.

I am shocked.

shocked, i say.

Unfortunately, I fear most of the fallout from this will be that we “know” what some people did, but few will actually be held legally responsible. There’s the bar of proof that satisfies the public (the “sniff test?”), and what’s required for a conviction in court. In the end, any punishment is better than none. One up side could be that, because of what the public “knows” happened, those that are punished will hopefully be unlikely to see any lenience in sentencing. Not hopeful after seeing Maxwell’s treatment, but early days.

Mine is basically my office. I think the heaviest I’ve had it was close to 40 lbs! It’s usually around 30 lbs when I’m traveling for work.

That or this is just performative so they can deny it anyway.

If you had any doubts that Know-Your-Customer laws were evil, here is one very good reason: personal data of 1 BILLION people just leaked.

When you wanna watch something but for whatever reason using a big screen is inconvienient, would you just watch it on your phone or wait till you find the time to watch it on the big screen?
