  • To Republicans, “elites” means having a college degree.

    Also depending on the context can mean “lives in a city” or “pays a mechanic to fix their car instead of gets their hands dirty” or “doesn’t go to church” or “makes fun of country folks / rural people” or “eats any food that isn’t fried or served in a disposable bag and eaten between 2 buns.”

    …But they’re never consistent, b/c they think that Trump, a literal billionaire who lives in a big city, definitely never has gone to church or gotten his hands dirty fixing cars… is somehow not elite.

    …I mean… he probably doesn’t eat anything that isn’t fried / between buns, but that’s about it.

    It’s incomprehensible / inconsistent.







  • I would argue that in their pursuit of worker rights they sought to prevent progress rather than supporting using the means of progress to lighten their own workload and then fight to receive the benefit that such machinery could provide.

    Reading more on them via this article, so Luddite is the wrong term. Maybe I was trying to use that term instead of just saying “impressing a tech-ignorant boomer like my dad.”

    I’m for worker rights as well, but I don’t think that means we should go back to the dark ages for production.

    I just think that the bosses shouldn’t get all the money from the robot savings, while everyone else works their asses off for no additional benefit.

    Sort of like how I can use a dumb “AI” music tool thing to share jokes with friends and dumb meme posts, but at the same time also think that Columbia records or whatever music corp or Ticketmaster should NOT be able to gouge the prices for concerts and then on top of that, not pass the increased profit to the actual artists.













  • I feel like I only know just enough about docker containers to get myself into trouble.

    I’ve ran a few docker containers for things like Minecraft Bedrock for my kid and his friends and a local Ubooquity server and stuff like that but I’m wondering if anyone has made a guide for glutun VPN bind + an Invidious instance with tailscale/twingate setup you mentioned.

    I am just an iPhone pleb who really loved using Yattee while it worked and assume a similar setup to what you described would allow me to point my Yattee to the self-hosted instance.
