  • I’ve learned that OG Luddites were not against new technology, they were against technology that disproportionately enriches the owner class. The common usage today was meant to discredit the Luddites as being against technological progress. I’ve been in tech most of my career, and I kind of want to take back the term.

    Probably more jobs, and certainly less health compromising jobs, in solar and wind. I think Luddites would not support investing in coal, versus renewables.

    Maybe “regressive” is a more fitting term for the MAGA death cult?

  • I’ve heard it said that Walt was an antisemite, so I looked it up to confirm. According to an article in jewishpress.com the evidence that Walt was really an antisemite is weak but the MPA of the time had more things of concern.. That same article goes on to equate anti-Israel with antisemitism so I doubt they’d give Walt any benefit of a doubt.

    I’m not on Twitter, but I hear getting exposure to actual vile antisemitism happens quite fast.

    I cannot wait for us to be past this “any criticism of Israel is antisemitism” and the US funding a genocide phase.

  • Mandela Effect is a thing. The impulse to verify your understanding is a good thing, in contrast with people so stubborn they’d rather double down than admit they could be wrong.

  • It doesn’t sync between services, but last.fm can be your tracking source and connects to both Spotify (when I had it.. assuming still true) and Tidal (ways to track Bandcamp and other streaming too).

    I have to wait for the full calendar year to pass in last.fm, but I get more interesting stats than what I remember from wrapped.

  • Hope the investigation is able to uncover what happened so other facilities (and this one, assuming it is restored) can prevent another event like this.

    That said.. what are the chances there were already sufficient preventative measures available and they were misapplied or simply not done?

  • Not a diagnosis, but sounds like depression.

    Perhaps counter intuitively, exercise (get that heart rate up and sweat exercise) has always been the most effective for me. Managed my depression for ~25 years that way, such that I only have occasional (temporary) bouts of ennui.

    I’d keep up with the touching grass too.

  • I bought one of their NVRs, so that currently stores recordings. I have yet to figure out how (or if) I want to integrate with my NAS or other (tbd) home automation.

    I get push notifications on my phone and watch by having the Reolink app installed.
