There are multiple housing problems and they’re all probably way more complicated than anyone wants to acknowledge. The highest priority “housing problem” right now imo is that there are people who don’t have a safe place to sleep at night.

In order to solve that problem you need

1. Safe housing to provide to those people
2. A system for assigning those people to the housing.

Building/acquiring housing costs money. If the government isn’t doing its job and spending money to solve this problem we need to

1. Hold them accountable through voting
2. Take matters into our own hands as a community and attempt to contribute to a local solution in whatever capacity we’re able to contribute (donations, volunteering, organizing). Once we have legitimate trustworthy organizations that are doing a good job solving the problem then we can hopefully proceed by driving more support for them.

Creating a system to assign individuals to housing is probably the more “difficult” part because there needs to be some sort of consensus on the mechanics of prioritization. I personally think we should prioritize housing for individuals and families with children, but after that I don’t know who we should serve next.

Specifically the most acid trippy chapter of the Bible that describes the end of the world.

That’s super cool, I’ve wanted to do something similar like this but never have had the opportunity.

It’s not so bad being the worst player on the team. Just means you have a lot of room for improvement as long as you’re willing to learn. Honestly it’s one of my favorite situations to find myself in. “Oh I suck. How can I get better?”

Hot take: All criteria used to classify ideas and objects into distinct categories can eventually break down. The only reason to pursue the creation of classification systems is to facilitate communication. If we get to a point where we start throwing chairs at each other I’d argue were no longer willing to communicate, and so arguing about whether something is “this” or “that” is no longer a priority. The priority should become attending to the mental and emotional wellbeing of the individuals in the absence of labels.

I don’t think solid state batteries provide as much benefit in smaller devices.

As long as she’s willing to put up with that nonsense I’d love to see her as president. But I can certainly imagine a person in her position not wanting to rock the boat and subject herself to that.

Good luck ever defining “good”.

Ah, I like this solution. Thanks for the suggestion! I set up GPU passthrough for a VM on a build years ago with QEMU. I’m sure I’ll be able to figure that out again.

Haha, I was hoping that because all my monitors are plugged into my AMD card that it wouldn’t cause as many issues, but I was mistaken.

I’m looking at it as an opportunity to learn more about the Linux kernel, the order that certain modules are being loaded in, and environment variables.

Cool! Maybe I can challenge you. Can you help me figure out how I can get my Hyprland session back on my Arch install? I have a Radeon 7700 XT and I recently installed an RTX 4070 to assist with some compute tasks. With both cards installed GDM doesn’t populate the Hyprland option. If I remove the 4070 everything goes back to normal.

(This is also a joke, you don’t need to help me troubleshoot this.)

(Unless you actually know how in which case I can pay you $20 for your time)

I had a hard time getting drivers for an RTX 4070 setup on Fedora a couple months ago. Not that I’m everyone, but I’m relatively competent so I could see how it would be an experience many people have shared.

I’m about to go through the Hyprland setup tutorial and I’m pumped af.

We need an open source electric car.

It’s not bad to have the conversational option, but at a certain point in a project’s life cycle it probably shouldn’t be the only option.

A complex project like a government would have a hard time throwing out all their knowledge infrastructure and relying purely on Discord.

Yeah, you’re right. I don’t think what he did was right. Then he lied and lost his job because of it. I don’t think public office is the place for a person like that.

I think the inner anxiety I have is the fact that I’ve never asked for IDs from anyone, although I’ve never had reason to believe I was ever doing anything illegal. But I didn’t even know asking for ID was a thing, but it makes sense.

So I guess I feel a bit of sympathy towards him at that moment because I could see myself potentially making the same mistake, not out of malice but out of stupidity?

No disagreement from me though, you are right. Just trying to figure out if my sympathy is misplaced or if I’m just too naive.

Fucked up that she lied about her age. Fucked up that he cheated on his wife.

I haven’t seen the security footage myself, but the article indicates he had an opportunity to tell uniformed officers that he accidentally pulled the alarm but chose not to. It seems like something he did out of frustration, not incompetence. Of course it’s impossible to prove intent, but the choice to not report it or explain the situation can’t be overlooked. “It’s not the crime, it’s the cover up.”

In a charging affidavit released Wednesday, an investigator said he had reviewed security camera footage and that Bowman can be seen pushing multiple doors that would not open before he looked at the emergency fire alarm pull station “and upon seeing it, he reached out and pulled the fire alarm down.”

Bowman can also be seen “jogging” as he exits the building and does not stop to say anything to uniformed officers he passes as he enters the Capitol minutes later, according to the affidavit. It also said the building was evacuated for about 90 minutes before it was reopened after no threat was identified.

Really uncool move. It’s crazy how people pull stunts like this. It also frustrates me seeing this type of behavior from people in positions of authority.
