Tell me more about your homebrew esp32 cams, please!

Didn’t they already try that? I figured that’s why Amazon wanted to buy them.

Gas station or truck stop? If the latter, it isn’t that shocking that they might lazily use the same authorization charge amount for cars as they do for 18-wheelers.

Republican “America first” is fascist doublethink.

!angryupvote (as a Georgian, but thankfully not one from her district)

I’m going to be pissed if circumstances somehow conspire to force me to tactically vote for her at some point in the future.

Yeah, sure, a “mistake.” Only because they didn’t get away with it.

Let’s make no mistake ourselves: they deported hundreds of thousands of Native/Mexican-American US citizens a century ago, and they are absolutely itching to do it again.

The real !mildlyinfuriating part is the implication that the propositions are less important than the election of people.

Thanks for the thread. I’ve been noticing those accounts and have been trying to figure out what action I should take as a mod.

What’s really fucked up about it is that the content is actually pretty coherent and on-topic, and it seems clear that at least some of the comments are human – like it’s more “tool-assisted” than fully “bot.” So it feels like it’s almost valuable but also kinda ‘cheating,’ which (from a mod perspective) makes it hard to decide what to do about it.

What I’d really like to know is what techniques these accounts are using and what they’re actually up to. The other day I gave one a warning and demanded an explanation, but I only got an angry reply and then the account was nuked by an admin before I had the chance to do anything else.

I’ve been noticing several new or new-ish accounts acting similarly. I need to go find an admin/mod discussion about what I (as a mod of another community) should be doing about it.

Well, cool it anyway 'cause it makes people think you’re a bot.

Yep!

I hesitate to mention this because I don’t want the ebay seller to sell out before I decide if I want one, but…

Craft Computing has a recent video about a used Supermicro “Microcloud” server that holds 8 Intel socket R nodes in 3U and costs $400 (apparently including CPUs but not RAM). Seems like an excellent way to get cheap redundancy, albeit at the cost of probably not great power consumption because it’s so obsolete.

That’s because macroeconomics actually do work differently than microeconomics. The idea that a country should be run like a household is fallacy.

She’s right, but also, cut the head off a snake and the rest will die. Schumer needs to be made an example of, by being removed from office, to incentivize the rest to fall in line behind progressives instead of corrupt corporate stooges.

Are you doing it as a defense mechanism against discrimination and prejudice? Because that’s what code-switching is about.

Because the upthread commenter’s definition is bad. It’s more of a social class/racial discrimination thing, with the stereotypical example being about how black people speak differently in a social context among themselves than they do in a professional context with their white boss. (Note that I’m not endorsing the racist implications; I’m explaining what the code-switching is in response to.) I’m not talking about other languages, either; I’m talking about differences in things like word choice and level of grammatical formality that could, at most, be seen as a different dialect of English.

Being just straight-up bilingual and using different languages in different contexts could maybe be code-switching if there’s an element of social hierarchy involved, but in general is not that.

I love that copypasta.

Welp, so much for adding to my pressed-penny collection

Jeff Geerling is probably having a fit right now.

OP, did you misspell !mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world?
