  • wagesj45 wagesj45 3mo ago 100%

    A bullet point list of his policies for those with a short attention span like me.

    • Abortion: Supports abortion rights; signed legislation protecting access in Minnesota.
    • Climate Change: Aims for 100% clean energy by 2040; streamlined renewable energy project permitting, secured EPA grant.
    • Immigration: Backs pathway to citizenship for undocumented migrants; expanded state services regardless of status.
    • Israel-Gaza: Aligns with Biden-Harris on two-state solution and humanitarian aid in Gaza; condemned Hamas' actions for Oct. 7th attack.
    • Gun Control: Evolved stance, now supports assault weapons ban, universal background checks, "red flag" law.
    • Economy: Advocated progressive pro-labor legislation; tax cuts for residents with corporate/high earner increases.
    • Paid Leave: Signed bill providing paid family/medical leave up to 12 weeks.
    • Education: Supports free school meals, tuition-free public higher education for eligible low-income students.
    • Marijuana Legalization: Signed legislation legalizing recreational marijuana and expunging/resentencing lower-level convictions.

  • ‘Stop bullshitting me’: Biden said to scold Netanyahu in call on truce-hostage deal
  • wagesj45 wagesj45 3mo ago 100%

    I agree, but it's all relative. This is coming from Biden who has been a huge supporter of Israel, letting them do pretty much whatever they want to do since forever. This seems like a huge step for the man, given where he's coming from.

    edit: Just realized I wasn't super clear. I was referring to the consequences part and how even if we want that, just Biden saying something as was reported is a pretty big step from where we were. I pretty much agree completely with @mozz@mbin.grits.dev.

  • Trump's Crypto Embrace Could Be a Disaster for Bitcoin
  • wagesj45 wagesj45 3mo ago 100%

    Have a good time with your bitcoin and your crypto and everything else that you're playing with, and we're going to make that one of the greatest industries on Earth. Good luck and God bless you all.

    Probably the funniest thing he could have said to them.

    New Open-Source AI Image Generator Beats Midjourney, SD3 and Auraflow
  • wagesj45 wagesj45 3mo ago 100%

    Looks like it's really good at text. I'll be interested to see the finetunes that come out for it. I'm worried that it will be too big to fit in the GPU on my AI server though. I only have 12 GB at my disposal.

    Donald Trump falsely questions Kamala Harris' race as he appears at gathering of Black journalists
  • wagesj45 wagesj45 3mo ago 95%

    This whole event was a shit show. Tech problems, no one could hear each other. And of course none of the journalists landed any gotcha moments because it's Trump and he has zero shame.

  • From reddit selfhosted: What do you wish you knew from the start
  • wagesj45 wagesj45 3mo ago 100%

    It is much easier to buy one "hefty" physical machine and run ProxMox with virtual machines for servers than it is to run multiple Raspberry Pis. After living that life for years, I'm a ProxMox shill now. Backups are important (read the other comments), and ProxMox makes backup/restore easy. Because eventually you will fuck a server up beyond repair, you will lose data, and you will feel terrible about it. Learn from my mistakes.

  • Kamala Harris ‘listening’ to young people on Gaza, says fellow Democrat
  • wagesj45 wagesj45 3mo ago 95%

    supports Israel’s right to defend itself

    Yeah, that's not wrong.

    AND that Israel is killing and starving innocents civilians

    Yeah, also not wrong. Because in this instance Israel isn't defending itself. They're not taking out imminent threats; at least not exclusively. They're using an attack to justify imperialism and genocide. We even have a very recent example of how that's usually a disaster for everyone involved.

    Project 2025 is coming for the BWCA
  • wagesj45 wagesj45 3mo ago 100%

    I like the idea of getting private money out of news. Creating a hard doctrine of "fairness" is just not possible. Sometimes there are not two sides to the truth, and we wouldn't want to pin in the media outlets if the truth demands a firm stance.

  • Peter Thiel is the conservative gay billionaire behind JD Vance's rise to power
  • wagesj45 wagesj45 3mo ago 100%

    Hopefully the rube that gets put in the dictator's position gets the memo. A true believer might get the idea that they're bound by the same religious bullshit as the rest of us.

  • wagesj45 wagesj45 3mo ago 100%

    This makes me think that the religious theocracy will all be a farce. Something meant to punish the lower classes while the upper classes get to live in a parallel liberal society. I mean surely these billionaires realize that in a true christofascist state they'd lose all the opulence and hedonism available to them now. Seems like something they wouldn't want to risk.

    I commented this earlier but I would not be surprised if the people behind him are deceptively far away and only look close at this camera angle.

    Oh no, you mean the big "smart" money investors that manage to crash the economy every decade or so and ruin every business they touch are gonna leave generative AI alone? Oh nooo. How will the science progress without Goldman Sachs's guiding hand?

    Good riddance.
