Shame the guy doesn't have an RSS feed? I want to read the next one.

I was recommended the x299. I didn't go with that and I've been struggling with the AM5.

> whole "Learn to Code" push of the 2010s was one of the worst things that happened to our industry

I would also throw in the toxic positivity and gas lighting sorrounding that. We got a lot of churn on "we have to be nice to everyone" and fears that people weren't "being included." I'm not saying you have to go all Linus on everyone, but it really catered to those who didn't want to learn a lot of the details or were resistent to testing their own code.

There needs to be a public site that surveils and broadcasts (from public support) the private and public lives of officers, government officials, and Flock/Axon. For everyone's safety.

Chase actively will tell you they'll call you back and then they'll try to verify who you are. That's their fraud department at play.

Despite trying to tell people not to trust unknown callers.

What did Google benefit from killing rss? Seems like that would help engagement on the web in general.

There are websites that refuse to accept email addresses that aren't @yahoo, gmail, or hotmail. Two that I've encountered are: avianca lifemiles and gentux.

Also there are services like opencode go that force a gmail account to sign in.

From my understanding is there is no law for movie theathers in the US to card people for the movies, also the MPAA guidence rating is a suggestion. It's not a requirement.

There are policies in the industry to suggest it.

Also, you can't use your claude subscription with oh-my-openagent. But you can with Kimi. ALso K3 is on OpenCode GO right now (low limits, but it's possible)

I've got distant family members in law enforcement. They brag about the reach of their equipment to surveil. Yes, they enjoy being overly suspicious.

You probably have to expose it to do Upnp through the VM that is needed for docker on Macos.

Yes, but Russia has the ability to operate independently. Texas pretends that they can, throws a fit when they have to support others who support them, and whines when they aren't supported.

They're a small corrupt country.

The only thing slightly redeem about about them economic wise is their gas reserves. The way they run their state is very similar to a corrupt nation as well. They still want to break away from the US.

It's more like the government of Hungry or Bulgaria in the EU analogy.

Today I learned that a foreign government operates in Texas.

I didn't know that Texas is supporting and promoting the North Korean government: http://naenara.com.kp/main/index/en/first

I wonder why they aren't being called out for anti-American terrorist groups.
