Zionism has always been an evil ideology of ethno supremacy. I think you might just mean the Zionist liberals have stopped pretending it’s not evil and just admit their crimes proudly.

I would say sending in robots full of explosives and suddenly leveling entire blocks with no warning might still be considered terror tactics. But that’s just me.

What’s the original version this of this meme say?

Wait, you’re telling me that the “Israeli” guy who’s family has lived in New York for generations doesn’t have claim to an arab persons home and land? You must be antisemitic!

Condom Hummus! Condom Hummus right now!

Yeah. They’ve been singing about Amalek since October 8th. The only news is that media outlets are finally reporting the intentions that that entire sick society has been proudly shouting loud and clear. With zero acknowledgement of their genocide propaganda for nearly two years.

My company got acquired by them. Not only did half our company get laid off. But the company was also sold for pennies on the dollar of what my coworkers bought their options for (I never exercised them. Way to much risk and I was right).

But a lot of people believed in a company that was aquiring customers. Especially when we got Microsoft as a customer. So, a lot of people were “encouraged to exercise their options as talk of a large order for our product from Microsoft was in talks”. Literally managers talking about how they were buying options so they could sell at long term capital gains.

Instead of being a customer though they ended up buying us out as we lost investors after COVID. Half the company was laid off. I survived somehow.

This was around the time that Israel began it’s genocide in Gaza. My hatred towards our small companies leaders and Microsoft was peak. I was fully remote and spent two years collecting a paycheck. The acquisition ended up throwing away all my previous work and I got placed in a “middleman” position that basically didn’t need to exist. Somehow I did almost no work for two years and didn’t get fired. I joined meetings, and basically just sat as a middleman communicating requirements between a team from the old company with the current Microsoft team.

Not until I started being active in criticism in Microsoft’s support of genocide in Gaza. That’s when suddenly I was told I "hadn’t met expectations and they said I had ‘abandoned’ my job. I was literally a remote worker and continued responding to all work requests. So I was fired but without any chance of unemployment.

So, yeah, I hate this company with a burning passion. Not only are their practices of company acquisition completely parasitic but they are actively enabling the slaughter of children in Gaza.

Tech companies aren’t “tech” companies. They are all war and genocide profitiers. I don’t think I can work in this industry anymore. And it’s nearly impossible to find a small company that isn’t already connected to these tech oligarchs in a major way. And if they aren’t they aren’t hiring.

Fuck Microsoft. Fuck Israel. Fuck Capitalism. Fuck this country.

I know people joke around about this a lot. But I was blown away by a recent switch to I did from using cv2 with python to using cv2 with C++.

I had literally hundreds of thousands of images to analyze for a dataset. My python script would have taken 12 hours.

I ported it to C++ and it literally destroyed it in 20 minutes.

I’m sure I was doing something that really wasn’t optimized well for python. I know somewhere in the backend it probably was using a completely different library with multi thread optimization. Or maybe turbojpg is just garbage in python. I’m still not even sure what the bottleneck was. I don’t know enough to really explain why.

But holy shit. I never had that much of a performance difference in such a simple task.

Was very impressed.

Saying “I don’t believe X conspiracy theory” is understandable. But saying you don’t believe in any “conspiracy theory”. Like, you think that the government just always tells the truth and doesn’t cover up anything?

Yeah I agree. Pretty sure the whole trust part goes out the window when you aren’t releasing the actual raw footage to the press.

Unironically, if all they did was just cut out parts they didn’t want, using open source ffmpeg to rencode and strip metadata would have been the best way to do it.

Using Adobe is just fucking sloppy. Not to mention, I’m pretty sure Adobe own any content that got uploaded to their servers during the edit. They likely have at least frames of it sitting on their servers if not the whole video.

Sometimes in JAV you really just get curious what the fuck is happening.

Nice. I learned about different applications of whisper because I’m a degenerate.

I did a “rm -rf *” in the wrong directory today.

I got the absolutely beautiful “argument list too long” in return.

I had a backup. But holy shit I’m glad the directory had thousands of files in it and nothing happened. First time I got that bash error and was happy.

I usually have rm aliased to “trash” or whatever that cli based recycle bin is. But just installed a new OS and ran this on a NAS folder today by mistake.

I’ve heard people had luck with Tailscale playing nicely with non Plex options. I can’t say I’ve tried it. Though I do use Tailscale. Essentially if you setup Tailscale for Grandma it’ll be like she’s sitting on your local network. Even better, set it up on her router and you can literally debug all her Internet problems if you can ping it.

Beyond that a raspberry pi with a battery backup on a 4G subscription connected to the router. That would be the ultimate “grandma” setup. Connect her router/modem power to remote power cycle. But I digress.

Plex still good for the boys that bought the lifetime pass. I understand why people would change. But it’s still the best plug and play option. Waiting until they break the “lifetime” thing and fuck us over.
