CameronNemo··on Calibre replacement considerations (2019)
Not the original commenter, but if the code is as messy as the blog post states, a fork might not be the ideal choice. Might be better to start cutting out libraries, then implement bespoke, feature-specific applications on top of them.
CameronNemo··on Renting vs. Owning a Home, by State
Median household income is less than a tenth of median home listing price in Los Angeles.
CameronNemo··on Robinhood to buy back Bankman-Fried’s stake for $605M from U.S. government
RobinHood does have phone based support.
CameronNemo··on We Are Not Supporting OpenTF
I don't understand what you're saying. That second sentence has a lot of pronouns.
CameronNemo··on Social media decline: Users are shifting to messaging apps and group chats
While it is a cool piece of software, it doesn't really work like Mastodon or SoundCloud.

That said, you can post audio clips on Mastodon quite easily.

CameronNemo··on Social media decline: Users are shifting to messaging apps and group chats
I wish SoundCloud supported this.
CameronNemo··on We Are Not Supporting OpenTF
They aren't using the name Terraform though?
CameronNemo··on We Are Not Supporting OpenTF
Why would that help? The license is the license. Hashicorp can just say their previous lawyers were mistaken in their interpretation.
CameronNemo··on HHS Calls for Moving Marijuana to Lower-Risk US Drug Category
OK I'm really high now. What next?
CameronNemo··on EV Chargers Should Be Dumber
I have seen a lot of L2 chargers (J1772) that had broken clips and would not charge my vehicle. Also lots that were just turned off or broken.
CameronNemo··on EV Chargers Should Be Dumber
My landlord recently had the opportunity of paying $1 so that I could avoid paying $2.50. They didn't do that. Never underestimate the willingness of some short-sighted companies to nickel and dime you to death, even for the slimmest margins. A hotel should just add free L2 chargers for their guests, but many will see it as an opportunity to profit rather than a perk of the overall experience.

it maxed out at 9.6kW per hour

It comforts me that even serious publications still get these units wrong.

CameronNemo··on China has declared part of Russia as its territory on new official maps
I see they're really committed to that 'No Limits' partnership! Good for them.
CameronNemo··on Pentagon Wants to Buy 1,000s of Small, Cheap, Autonomous Drones in Next 2 Years
Yeah well maybe they should think a bit harder. I am not taking the DoD's word on it.

We really can't use directed energy weapons to snipe them out of the air? Scatter pebbles and rocks in the air space above them to ground them? Use a dozen helicopters to drop huge nets on top of them Scooby Doo style?

Come on people, time to get creative. If your only solution to swarms of death bots is more death bots, then you won't see a single willing dollar from me.

CameronNemo··on California court dismisses lawsuit over nuclear power plant
No, they're not. Just because the NRC says it is cool doesn't mean that a power plant is above criticism. People are allowed to object to things happening around them.
CameronNemo··on The end of cool small cars
We never said it would be a good education ;)
CameronNemo··on Dollar Tree is the latest retailer to say shoplifting is squeezing margins
You don't understand economics.
CameronNemo··on Young activist tells Greenpeace to drop ‘old-fashioned’ anti-nuclear stance
Didn't the dust in Chernobyl get kicked up last year? And Zaporizhia has been a major hazard.

Things would have surely been a lot less complicated without those two plants.

CameronNemo··on California court dismisses lawsuit over nuclear power plant
There have been a lot of environmental critiques of this particular nuclear power plant. They largely center on wastewater from the plant (which is warm, and rich in Tritium), as well as the risks posed by the potential of a strong, shallow earthquake in the vicinity of the plant.

Shhh. The central coast doesn't exist. Just the bay and LA. Nothing to see here folks, keep driving.
CameronNemo··on Pentagon Wants to Buy 1,000s of Small, Cheap, Autonomous Drones in Next 2 Years
You seem to think we should copy Russia's strategy of scattering swarms of drones across the territory of their enemy. These 'kamikaze' drones are highly damaging and dangerous to civilian life.

Maybe the US military should focus on how the heck we can defend against these vast swarms of kill bots, instead of flooding the skies with more and more AI death squads.

Edit: and to people pessimistically saying that the US military doesn't prioritize civilian lives... I think we'd agree that should change

CameronNemo··on Doas – dedicated OpenBSD application subexecutor
I don't understand the muscle memory relevance?
CameronNemo··on I chose the ThinkPad Z13 Gen1 as my Linux laptop
Any reason you want a Lenovo instead of a Framework?

CameronNemo··on California population size projected to stagnate
Yeah... Sounds like you found your people. Glad you live far away from me.
CameronNemo··on California population size projected to stagnate
Don't Florida and Texas ship the people they don't want to California, Illinois, and New York?

Only one of those states has weather suitable for living outside.

CameronNemo··on Nvidia on the Mountaintop
No thanks.
CameronNemo··on California population size projected to stagnate
Putting undernourished and sick children on a multiple days long bus ride to Chicago, causing their death, is "an inconvenience"? Maybe to you. Sounds like you just found your kind of people...
CameronNemo··on California population size projected to stagnate
California gets snow though?

People forget how big of a state it really is. My family friend was facing a four figure cost to dig out their Truckee cabin this past winter.

CameronNemo··on California population size projected to stagnate
Racial and political ideologues are everywhere including in schools and they have tremendous influence. One can lose their entire livelihood if they were found to have "wrongthink" by these ideologues.

Is there a place on earth where this isn't the case?
