One time I went to buy a power tool that was on sale at Home Depot. I did the self checkout and the sale did not ring up correctly. I got one of the employees attention and they just told me there was nothing they could do, whatever it rings up as is the price and they can't change it. No amount of pointing at the massive sale sign would change that.

So I put it back and bought it from an online site that was having the same sale. Fuck Home Depot... Since then I go out of my way to not shop there.

Same with firefox

It's not illegal to modify a gun, it's illegal to modify a gun into a gun that meets certain criteria to then become illegal. The crime isn't modification of the gun, the crime is the possession of a (now) illegal gun.

No, in your case the crime isn't the fact that you modified the rifle, the crime is that you modified it into an illegal version of the rifle. The crime is possession of a full auto rifle.

If I take a rifle that was setup for one caliber and modify it so it can shoot a different caliber, that's not illegal.

yes? you can legally purchase a plane without a license... did you read my comment? purchasing != using. You don't need a pilot "under current contract" you could buy a plane and taxi it around the airport if you want without any licenses.

You can, you just need to hire a pilot if you want to fly in it. How do you think rich people fly around in their jets? Do you really think the pilots own the planes?

He asked employees to print out their code so he could review it.

Django is great, I've used it in a number of projects, both paid gigs and side projects. Where it really shines is giving you a nice admin to be able to do CRUD (Create, read, update and delete) operations on the database with minimal work on your end. If you don't need this, then something like flask is lighter weight and might be a better option.

However, while python has type hints now, it is still a loosely typed language. If you really want to the benefits that come with a strongly typed language, I'd suggest maybe looking at Rust, Go or even TypeScript.

I think what you want is either plex or Jellyfin which will give you a nice UI to browse your already downloaded files.

Now how do you browse new releases and figure out what you want to download? I just setup https://overseerr.dev/ to go along with sonarr, radarr, prowlarr, nzbget, transmission... it's a lot of different services but they all work well together. Now to look for new movies, I or my family goes to Overseerr to request downloads, then plex to watch.

I had a coworker come to me with an "issue" he learned about. It was wrong and it wasn't really an issue and the it came out that he got it from ChatGPT and didn't really know what he was talking about, nor could he cite an actual source.

I've also played around with it and it's given me straight up wrong answers. I don't think it's really worth it.

It's just predictive text, it's not really AI.

I've been listening to A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs and let me tell you, the music industry can fuck right off. Small indie label? I'll probably buy it, but one of the major record labels? Set sail mateys.

If you are looking for FOSS, I highly recommend joplin. It's simple but works well. I used it for many years until recently I switched to Obsidian. I dislike that Obsidian isn't FOSS but I'm using the free tier and the community plugins really make it so much more powerful than Joplin. They both store things in Markdown so I'm not locked down to their ecosystem which I think is a requirement for any note taking app.
