  • What do people like about Star Trek Voyager?

  • Unfortunately Janeway was an inconsistent psychopath

    I love this discription. It also begs the question; could another captain have brought Voyager home? I'd argue Janeway's psychopathy was what kept them alive. Essentially she spent the entire time in a state of emergency, and had to act accordingly. Tuvix (as hated as the episode is haha) was a great example. Boiled down, Voyager needed it's chief tactical officer and even Neelix, who showed usefulness multiple times, more than a new being who would leave the ship. Ethical or not, she consistently did what had to be done for the ship and crew. I'm not sure Picard's integrity would have kept them alive.

  • I'm sure that'll be a tiered pay option soon enough. $10 a month gets you an ai that's just an acquaintance. Doesn't "care", forgets your name sometimes, doesn't remember that thing you talked about last week. $50 a month gets you your ai best friend. It "cares", remembers everything about you, makes suggestions based on what it knows about you, even goes out of it's way to prompt you first and ask you how your dentist appt went.

    In my opinion ai is in the "drug dealer wandering around the club giving a free bump" phase. Once people get addicted and sew it into the fabric of every day life, these companies will up the price, make the cheaper tiers too frustrating to use, and charge up the ass. "Oh, you've got an ai boyfriend? Let's see how much you'll pay to keep it or have it lobotomized."

  • US Billionaire Wealth Surges to $8.1 Trillion as Affordability Crisis Hammers Working Class

    Jump

  • Well yeah, it should be something. I'm no economist, why are you acting like it's on me to figure out? I'll leave the how up to people much smarter than me. The fact is the system as it is is incredibly predatory on the majority, and billionaires are absolutely a big part of why. They need to be eliminated, I don't really care how.

  • Combination of 95% personal tax rate over x amount, say 10 million, and if any company is deemed important enough to be necessary to run the country/society (airlines, power companies, telecom, banks, grocery, apparently AI garbage), should those companies require gov't subsidies or bailouts they immediately become nationalised. No bailouts for private companies.

  • There's more than one contributing factor for the cost of living crisis. Billionaires need to be eliminated, as long as they exist the rich/poor gap will always leave a living (not just cost of living) crisis for the majority. Eliminating billionaires won't fix everything, sure, but it will cut out the cancer that infects the rest of society. The sickness of such wealth accumulation directly contributes, enables, and increases the current state of wealth inequality.

    Its almost like you’re being lied to about the billionaires being the problem, when really its boomer house owners that hold the majority of the wealth.

    "Boomer house owners" will never redistribute their wealth as long as the concept of billionaires exists. Again, there are many contributing factors. I agree that billionaires are not the problem, but they certainly are a problem, a problem that needs eliminating for the betterment of society.

  • That's a pretty singular way of looking at it. Sure, everyone would only get $20k, but there's more to the cost of living crisis than just money.

    Billionaires are absolutely a significant part of the cost of living crisis, and an additional result of redistributing their wealth is no more billionaires. This alone would do more for the average person than anything else.

  • Proposed Alberta separation referendum question approved | Globalnews.ca

    Jump

  • How could they have their land voted away? AB separating just wouldn't work, with First Nations land being just one reason. Most separatists are simply traitors who don't understand what the consequences would be. The ones who know what they're doing know it would never work, but that's not the point. The point is a weakened and fractured Canada. There's a vested interest (primarily from the US) in dividing Canada, and this is a great way to do it.

    All I'm saying is I hope Albertans don't get complacent, and actually get out and vote at the referendum. Brexit has proven what lack of understanding and voter apathy can result in. It can just as easily happen in AB, and all it takes is Albertans not bothering to vote because "there's no way separation will happen".

  • The real danger is voter apathy, with Albertans figuring there's no way separation will win based on the high number of sigs on the petition so they don't bother voting, much like Brexit.

    The last AB referendum showed 38.7% of eligible voters voted. If that number holds the same, and your number of 30% want to separate is correct, it's over. Every single traitor is going to vote, which could result in a landslide separatist win with 77% of voters voting to separate.

  • CachyOS drive mount journey

    Jump

  • Wow, that fstab info is great thanks! I've added it to my notes.

    Did Emby work after this? You said you had to remount, what did you use to do that?

    If you can get Emby to work, you can then look at findmnt to see how the working directory is mounted (which options/etc) and then you can update your fstab to have those options so that it will mount on startup.

    Yes, it works as it should. I've done it twice, and remounted once with gnome disk and once in Dolphin. However, I'm wondering if it's an issue with installing Emby itself. Emby can access everything it should after remounting the drives, but the drive permissions are all user:user with 777 (which is probably why Emby can access it, it's permission is other?) There's nothing with permissions for user:emby like it should be, and sudo chown doesn't change the group. There's also no emby group option in the pulldown menu (when I was on Ubuntu I just used the pulldown to change the group permission). I went to make sure and ran groupadd emby but it said there's already a group emby.

    As it is right now it all works after remounting, that said the drives that should say ntfs-3g in findmnt say fuseblk, in fact all the NTFS drives are fuseblk.
