Watching For All Mankind makes me feel bad for present-day Russians because even those Soviet Russians have it better.

I just started watching the series and I'm in season 2. I'm loving it so far, and couldn't agree more.

Yeah, that's shitty too.

They’re not evil, they’re not idiots.

No, they're both. They know they're spreading hate, and they find it funny.

I feel as if boycotting this election is the moral high ground and it’s fucking rude that people keep telling me it’s equal to voting for Trump

It's fucking rude that you're prioritizing a fake moral high ground over the lives of the people who will suffer and die under the fascist GOP.

For me personally, it was easier to just write a few python scripts to parse the CSV files from my banks.

I switched over to this last month, and I'm already a fan of it. It did take a bit of time to port over my old shtitty excel tracking, and to write a few python scripts to parse the export CSV files from each of my bank accounts, but it is very clearly worth it.

One of the nice things is that it uses a SQLite db to store everything, so if shit ever hits the fan with one of my drives or the software, it isn't the end of the world.

You can self host it so you can access it over the web, or you can choose to run it entirely locally. It's pretty nifty, and I've elected to using it for the second option.

I'm not sure of the volume of that system, how to get it. But I wonder if man made strip mines like these would compare:

They go on for miles, are huge, and theoretically could go on for basically forever.

Ignoring the myriad of other issues listed in this thread, the bit about training AI is pretty misleading. It's not hard to scrape webpages for whatever kind of data you like, even if loops doesn't outright hand things over for third parties for that purpose.

And the kind of people who are downloading the entire internet to train AIs are the type to be willing to just scrape without permission.

Hopefully instead of turning into a bunch of e-waste, a bunch of "useless" desktops flood refurbishers, and refurbished desktops become even cheaper. I wouldn't mind replacing my dying media server.

Not every GET request is simple enough to cache, and not everyone is running something big enough to need a sysadmin.
