The McDonald’s in Rome (specifically, the one near the Spanish Steps) is pretty darn nice, NGL. I got a gelato there once, which is better than anything I ever got at an American McDonalds.
(Ironically for the grandparent commenter’s point, I visited two McDonald’s on that trip specifically to see what might be different about them in other countries. The other one was in the Amsterdam airport during my layover, whereupon I got a McKrocket. It was suitably weird.)
I’m also a software engineer and am still interested in building my own PCs, but I like the GabeCube anyway because you literally cannot build a PC that small, not even with mini-ITX.
I kinda feel like I’d want a Strix Halo (Ryzen AI MAX+ 395) in that form factor even more, though.
Is metasearch really the best we can do? What about YaCy, or something else more like that?
The dream of truly Griswoldian Christmas lights slips ever further from our grasp. Sure, we can blind the neighbors more easily than ever, but what’s the fun of that if you can’t take down the whole power grid along with it? 😞
Once I started going to Dragon Con (Labor Day weekend), September also started feeling like Halloween season to me.
(It probably doesn’t help that more folks in my neighborhood put up decorations for Halloween than they do for Christmas, and start pretty early with them.)
For that reason, my Halloween decorations came down promptly on Nov 1. Maybe I should start decorating for Thanksgiving…
I can only assume it would be something like !moi_evv if it existed.
More like “pro-Semite of the year,” since Palestinians are Semites too!
Right, that’s what I said: if Z in the top image were pointing the opposite direction (i.e. if it followed the right hand rule), it would be the same as the bottom image. Rotation is irrelevant; only handedness matters.
Right handed means that when you curl the fingers on your right hand from +X towards +Y, your thumb points towards +Z.
Z pointing in the other direction is the same as the bottom image, just rotated.
Note that in your points you use abuse, exploitation, and legally, implying that the company is breaking laws.
Let me clarify: what I’m talking about is that people think the ruling in Dodge v. Ford Motor Co absolutely requires companies to do everything they can to “maximize shareholder value,” but it doesn’t. The part of the opinion that mentioned that was meant to be dicta, not legally binding.
The law does not require companies to act sociopathically. “We needed to maximize shareholder value” is not a valid excuse.
NUCs (specifically Intel 8th?-gen or later) are pretty much ideal for serving Jellyfin because the Intel integrated graphics can do video transcoding and the software is actually not very demanding otherwise, so the low-power CPUs are fine.
If you were buying hardware specifically for Jellyfin (i.e. didn’t want to cobble together something used), I’d suggest an N100 or N150-based NAS mini-PC like this: https://www.bee-link.com/products/beelink-me-mini-n150
Yeah, the point you made later in your comment was fine. I just wanted to push back specifically on the notion that companies trying to maximize profit at all costs, even including abuse and exploitation, is what they “should” do. That isn’t okay – not ethically and not even legally, despite the widespread misreading of Dodge v. Ford Motor Co – and we should stop giving corporate stooges a pass for trying gaslight us otherwise.
I’m absolutely serious, though: JavaScript should be considered harmful and abolished in its entirety. This is only one reason among many.
(Granted, libraries for other programming languages could have the same issue, in theory; however, programmers of most other languages don’t have a culture of adding dependencies willy-nilly to the same extent JavaScript devs seem to.)
This shouldn’t be directed at companies. They’re the ones that are saying this, but that’s what they should do.
Nah, screw that. The notion that companies “have” to be fucking sociopathic is basically a historical accident caused by a bad (or maybe malicious) inaccurate court transcription. It doesn’t have to be that way.
Incorporation and limited liability used to be considered privileges that companies were granted in exchange for providing benefit to the public at large (not just the shareholders). The current situation is absolutely a perversion of the purpose of incorporation and needs to be massively overhauled.

We laugh about AI deleting all the shit, but every day there’s a new npm package ready to exfiltrate all your data, upload it to a server and encrypt your home. How do you protect yourself against that?
Yes, by not using npm either.
It could literally be a gascan strapped to tricycle for all they care.
Eh, you will survive.
