The interview was interesting and glad candidates are willing to go into these hostile territories even if the conversation falls on deaf ears. For me, I was never undecided. I am voting Democrat.

What I want to know: will a Kamala-Walz adminstration have a unified house and senate to push this country forward (getting Roe v Wade codified to start)? All of this focus/media attention on the presidential elections but we need to flip seats.

What’s the temperature across the country right now?

Seems pp rolled this “feature” out to USA only due to our lax regulations on privacy. Another user (in Canada) pointed out the option was not seen in Profile & Data

I updated title, thanks

US has been playing catch up for decades. FedNow was implemented in 2023 to allow instant P2P payments between banks thereby eliminating the need for PayPal, Cash App, Venmo, et al.

It will take some time before we see banks make this fully available to everyone and subsequently merchants using it.

Diversion tactic. Promote political discourse discord in US so Russia can continue their atrocities in Ukraine

What is everyone’s temperature about the situation here? I have never lived in a hurricane prone area like Florida.

If I was basing it completely on national coverage, I am getting the impression that any region in the path of the Milton will get flattened by sudden sea rise. Even the AP article paints a grim picture:

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — A steady rain fell in the Tampa Bay area Wednesday morning as a mighty Hurricane Milton churned toward a potentially catastrophic collision with the west coast of Florida, where some residents insisted they would stay even after millions were ordered to evacuate. Stragglers face grim odds of surviving, officials said

However, looking into it more and trying to be less emotional. Florida’s emergency management system is issuing evacuation orders for many counties in Milton’s path. But some “inland” counties like Polk have no evacuation orders despite adjacent county, Hillsborough, having mandatory evacuation orders [1].

Then if you navigate to the county level (ie, Hillsborough). Only specific zones were issued mandatory evacuation. At this time, residents of Hillsborough county in zones “A” and “B” (and all mobile homes) given mandatory evacuation. People in other zones advised it was optional [2].

What did we observe with Helene? Were these local government evacuation orders completely wrong and devastated areas that previously had optional evacuation?

I have been exploring self hosting my email.

Docker mail server for backend. Roundcube for web ui

Still keeping accounts at mainstream providers though as backup, especially for outgoing mail.

TikTok will just be owned by a different company. It will still exist.

won’t happen

Where do you think the FBI gets their domestic terrorist intel from 😂

No wonder Tesla reduced the cost of this program. It’s absolute shite.

It’s the equivalent of Cruise at this point. Get this shite vehicle off the road already

I am just waiting for a malware developer or state actor to use this as a way to infect computers with 0-days.

This is a disaster. Why anybody would decide to use Windows for any serious workloads is unfathomable to me.

Office products are mostly cross-platform (outlook, word, excel).

There was a subset of Google contractors trying to unionize but while the group was campaigning at city hall. Google executives decided to not renew the contract and all of them were jobless.

I wouldn’t touch a TSLA product even if it was given to me.

My $1 bid is ready to submit to ByteDance once grandpa signs that bill.

I don’t care what they call it. Call it “dogsh1t” for all I care.

I just want high refresh rate, at least 4K support, 32”, and sub millisecond response times.

“The Matrix”, obviously.

Yet another reason to avoid Apple hardware.

I invested so much into this stupid ecosystem. Feels silly now after realizing how abusive this company is and the lengths it will go to keep you walled in.

I wonder what the angle is here…

Or maybe it’s a hedge play. Have son donate to Democrats. Shitty father continues to donate to GOP.

Or maybe son is angling for a tech regulation to break up father’s empire. In the fallout, he secures a larger piece of his fathers empire.

I use Arch, btw

Probably what my windfall roadmap is built on 👍
