  • The thing is that according to liberal ideas, the economy IS doing great.

    Anyone to the left of Joe Biden recognizes that it isn’t, but liberals are the majority of the democratic party. To them the “traditional” economic markers are the most important things to track, and those numbers all look good.

    “Liberal” economic ideas have nothing to do with the living conditions of the average person, they have everything to do with the capitalist class being happy and “opportunity” being available to the working class. That’s why the economy in the 1910s could be described as healthy even though people were literally forced to live in tenement houses and were being locked into factories. That’s also why many liberal economists say that it’s possible for unemployment to get too low, because apparently that’s considered bad.

    The question Joe Biden is answering when he says the economy is doing well is “are the capitalists happy and continuing to expand capitalism to extract as much wealth as possible from the working class,” and right now that answer is clearly yes.





  • It’s not all that hard.

    Youll need a pihole and a micro SD card for it. On that micro SD you’re going to install the operating system. There is a guide for how to do this on the raspberry pi website. As part of that installation, you can tell the installer to also install an SSH server. That will allow you to connect remotely. You can also have the installer create a user account for you. Do that.

    Once you’ve done that you’ll put the SD card into the pihole and plug in the pihole. It should boot from the SD card. Plug the pihole into your router via ether net, this is very important. It guarantees it will get an IP address.

    Check your router for the pihole. You should see it. Grab it’s ip address, and use whatever SSH client you like. On windows I like mRemoteNG. SSH into your pis IP address using the username and password you made earlier, when you installed the OS. Then, Google pihole. Follow the install directions on the pihole. Once it’s set up, set your router to use it for DNS.

    That’s all!





  • Yeah this is a definition of “theft” that doesn’t really work at all with the commonly used one.

    Like, if you download a torrent, it was uploaded by someone else, willingly. If they bought a DVD and handed it to a friend, that friend wouldn’t be stealing the DVD. But now, if they upload the file to the internet for other people to watch, this class is calling that theft.

    Its the kind of “theft” that leaves no victims. The alleged “victim” isn’t the person from whom the content was downloaded, no, it’s the third party who originally sold that person the product in the first place.

    The whole concept isn’t logically consistent, but the corporations wrote the laws and get to decide how they are enforced and what they mean so it doesn’t matter that the law makes no sense and is punishing people for “crimes” that are, at their very core, victimless.

    Oh yeah that rocks, thanks! Funny enough, it’s making me consider a 2060- according to that site the 12gb 2026 can transcode 2 more streams than the 2080 can at 4k, and they aren’t ridiculously priced- the 1660s that a lot of people seem to recommend are only a little cheaper but get fewer streams.

    Given that we have a lot of evidence that trex would swim to islands in the middle of north America to hunt (there was an inland sea here 66 million years ago), I think them having very good long distance vision actually makes a lot of sense. If they were hunting across flat crasslands and looking for food on islands across stretches of water then it would make a lot of sense that they need such good vision.

    They don’t need to see a mouse from kilometers away, they need to see if that big Grey blob on the Shor of the island 2km across a strait is a washed up icthyosaur, or a triceratops, or just a rock.
