Another symptom of the collapse of the model

An international airport without fuel for weeks is an exceptional and very uncommon situation in countries with functioning economies. In the case of Cuba, this adds to a context marked by daily blackouts, rampant inflation, shortages of food and medicine, a standstill in tourism, and mass emigration. The inability to guarantee fuel for civil aviation not only jeopardizes the country’s connectivity with the outside world, but also highlights the logistical collapse of a model incapable of sustaining basic strategic services. While the regime insists on blaming external factors, the facts demonstrate a deep crisis that is already isolating Cuba, even by air.

There’s also this gem of a paragraph.

Yeah HA voice replaced the Google speakers for me. HA make a speaker for this.

I concur. Use HA with Zigbee and/or Z-Wave. Expose to Google Home as needed. You can expose idividual devices. That said switching to HA as main iterface is pretty painless and HA Voice is better than Google’s.*

Completely agree. A lot of countries were on some path or another of dealing with capitalism’s collapse during The Great Depression. The propaganda you mention steered these changes right back to the right - towards oligarch class dominance over working people. And we find ourselves in a situation very reminiscent to the pre-depression environment.

Yeah, you’re probably right. Unionization rate is around 16%. Workers won’t see much from this investment.

Takaichi is known for favouring proactive government spending. She supports heavy government investment in critical strategic sectors in what she refers to as “crisis management investment”. These include artificial intelligence, semiconductors, nuclear fusion, biotechnology, and defence.

Her other policies aside, the economic one looks like a winner.

Leg policy is inconsistent.

I use their WiFi access points. They’re great. That’s about it.

Walking is only not effective because others with lower ethics will take the money, right?

Yes. Or rather not do anything to not get themselves fired, but that’s equivalent.

Google won’t even notice 800 people disappearing. Large corporations have enough redundancies.

Given historical precedents, it seems that people are okay with fascism for money. In fact fascism in the past and today has offered people prosperity by getting rid of some vulnerable group that’s “getting too much resources” and getting the resources back. Of course it’s never the oligarchs. That’s how it tends to get consent to take power. This is occurring to varying degrees in more than a few countries today.

It’s why relying on people’s moral beliefs to fight fascism isn’t super reliable, to say it mildly. Instead we gotta propose an alternative that offers prosperity without getting rid of vulnerable groups. Ergo unionize and take more money from Google as well as make other demands (as a short term alternative.)

Neither is effective. Unionize most of Google’s workforce. Then make demands.

I just got burned by accidental latest tag on a pg container for Nextcloud. They moved some paths internally and it could no longer find the db.

The cells achieve an energy density of up to 175 Wh/kg

This is kinda shocking density for a first gen mass-priduced batteries.

This is a reminder for self-hosters to put their apps (and their data) on snapshotting filesystems with automatic, regular snapahots turned on; and fix the app versions to at least the major version, across all containers.

You can get it to run at time intervals. E.g. once an hour for 5 minutes. That’s not bad on battery for me. I actually have mine once every 24 hours for 30 minutes so it can successfully transfer a few gigs of Signal backups.

Welp I guess there’s another piece of software I have to setup now…

Now this is a real threat that the olirarch class is actually afraid of.

United Democracy Project, a super PAC aligned with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, spent almost $2.3 million on television and digital ads, mailers and phone banking to oppose Malinowski, a longtime supporter of Israel and former recipient of money from AIPAC, according to data from the Federal Election Commission.

It’s what you thought it is. Also the razor-thin margin is .7% so not too sharp of a razor.

TIL

Been using it for a few months and it’s been pretty good.
