Looks to me like it's pronounced weed.

Maybe they finally got rid of those fookin' prawns all out of district 9!
Holy fuck, people just don't get how severe and horrible this administration is.
People used to say that Steve Jobs had a reality distortion field, but I think Trump is a thousand times worse.
It's so bad and the standards are so different between him and just about anybody else, sometimes the 0.01% chance that he's the world's best actor rather than an idiot and/or Russian asset scares me even more.
You can build a big desk that is more than strong enough for you to stand on using nothing but basic pine from the likes of home depot and some screws or glue.
I actually just built one that's 5 feet long and am assembling another that's 7 feet. They will fit together to make a big L-shaped desk for a couple PCs and some other stuff. I use 3/4" plywood for the top surface.
I'm making a 3-foot long one too that's going to be a stand for a 55 gallon aquarium. That's about 450lbs / 200kg if completely filled.
That’s exactly what is so nice about FOSS based systems. You can use technology but without the tech bros and the corporate enshittification.
Oh it’s way more than that!
After looking up some numbers, I note we could give every single square MILLIMETER on the planet its own entire IPv4 address space.
…And then every one of those IPv4 addresses could have its own entire copy of the IPv4 address space!
…And that would just be a drop in the bucket compared with IPv6! One good comparison I’ve seen is that you could assign an address to every atom on the surface of the earth (but not inside it) and have enough left over for 100+ more earths.
Rough math for the square millimeters:
The surface area of the earth is roughly 510 trillion square millimeters. Let’s round that up to a quadrillion or 10^15^.
The number of IPv6 addresses is 2^128^ or 3.4x10^38^. To be conservative again, let’s just round that down to 10^38^.
10^38^ / 10^15^ = 10^23^ IPv6 addresses per square mm of earth.
IPv4 address space is 2^32^ or around 4 billion. let’s round up to 10 billion or 10^10^.
So then 10^23^ / 10^10^ = 10^13^ IPv6 addresses per IPv4 address per square mm of earth.
10^13^ / 10^10^ =
1,000 IPv6 addresses
per IPv4 address
per IPv4 address
per square mm of earth.
And that was with the conservative estimates along the way. I think it would actually be tens of thousands.
I have found a bunch of my new favorite songs this year on Jellyfin. Some of them are pretty old too, lol.
It worked pretty well doing it the old human-based way, where I got a bunch of albums because I liked the band or even just a particular song. Listening through those or just playing the whole pile on shuffle led me to find plenty of gems that I stuck in my playlist.
You would NOT believe-… ok honestly everybody reading this already knows.
But there are SO many people that will offer confident unprompted incorrect advice on so many subjects while they have the sum of human knowledge in their pocket. Or they will ask some dummy for the answer while having that same access.
And the best part is that many of them use their literal human knowledgebase portal to send the wrong information!
It's nature that will survive, not us.
This is a good thing to point out, because we create many of our own problems by trying to pretend that humanity is a separate and distinct thing from nature.
Some of us are old enough to have a functional pre-enshittifation Brother B/W laser printer off in a dark corner of the house. It waits. It bides its time. It has a toner cartridge from the Obama administration.
Today’s greybeards might show the youngins their old box of punch cards.
The next generation, in addition to many elders wearing cat ears instead of beards, will astonish the junior engineers by clicking print and it just works!! No App? No account? No subscriptions? No driver installation? No giant bloated utility pack that installed itself when you just asked for drivers? Wait and it did that over Wi-Fi?!?! It can connect to the internet and it still does the things you ask it to do?
Whoa whoa whoa, and you don’t even have your printer gun here! How are you going to shoot it when it starts making new noises after a shady forced update?
I want to go full cyberpunk and get QR codes tattooed on my cheeks that will either crash the cameras or tell the recognition software that I’m a stegosaurus.
Seriously. How much has the mainstream corporate media covered our newly minted gestapo that's better funded than most militaries? Or gee idk, maybe followed the money? Ohh, it's going into their boss's pocket and they aren't allowed to talk about it?
