  • I can find it with ease on my streaming platform (my personal media center)…

    Just now I binge watched Neagly from a hotel a state away from the server. Streaming ST works just fine too, lol.

    I’ve been saying for over 20 years, we need one opensource non-profit member operated streaming platform, where content can be held and shared by all members via a streamable Torrent protocol.

    Host what you want, share what bandwidth you can, and access everything available, for one user fee, or for free, your call.

    Basically just that we have now with Torrents, but with a centrally controlled legal Popcorn Time like application, standardized file formatting, and a digital media library that includes video, audio, and eBooks (but allows users to exclude content they arent interested in with ease).










  • I have no problem with being able to verbally ask a computer to do basic useful things, it’s a far more advanced PC-human inferface than the computer mouse…

    But beyond that, meh. I get how it can be used by science to solve complex issues or analyze large datasets, and that’s cool, but I don’t need anything on my PC more calable than an aide that can set a timer for me, or thereabouts.

    If it can’t already do something with way fewer errors than people, than it shouldn’t be doing that yet.

    If it can, then we might as well put it to work.

    We didn’t build stone tools because our hands were good enough, or bronze tools because stone was good enough,…





  • Actually, a lot of that sounds pretty practical.

    The barrels would work as slow burn barrels for long term heat on cold nights, the bike parts could be a source of income (part bikes > full bikes to sell), more than 2 pans seems too many, but he may go through them fast if used over an open fire (depending on the type of pan), for millennia campers kept fires buring over night or for days to make cooking later easier (yes it’s risky in some situations, but practical in general), and covering his car would ensure it looked cleaner and required lower maintenance (both have a lot of perks for a homeless person trying to live cheaply and fly under the radar). I’m not sure about the tires, but keeping cans and some other materials can def provide a source of income.

    Nothing is ever really disposable, except the abusive people in your life. We could all benefit from less of those. Everything else is reusable or recyclable. Just listing this guys possessions without explanations for them makes them easy to dismiss as trash, but that isn’t necessarily even close to honest. He likely had some actual waste on site from food prep or completed projects, but by no means was all his stuff trash.
