I’d argue America has shown it’s the one country that other countries do have a right to interfere with. After ~70 years of being the drunken, overconfident, asshole that’s ruining the experience for everyone at the bar because we’ve decided we’re the bouncer. On some level we’ve kinda made ourselves everyone’s problem.
It’s not a perfect analogy, because in a bar everyone else could just leave, and that’s not an option when you’re sharing a planet.
Was nice that they mentioned some of their terminal utilities for scripting/automation. I ported my own scripts over just before Plasma 6 released and haven’t looked back. And having those utilities made my own move to Wayland a lot easier.
There are still occasional things I miss from X11, like Barrier for example, that made using a single mouse/keyboard across multiple systems work like you were just on an extended monitor. But my move was very smooth, and I’m sure it will only get easier between now and the actual end of X11 support.
Because since it’s unlocked hardware, corporations would buy them all as workstations, and they’d never buy any games. At the end of the day, corporations ruin everything.
That’s honestly more of a problem than a feature at this point. The GPL at least protects open source projects as a “public good” and forces corporate users to contribute their changes back to the public (in some manner). All permissive licenses do is let corporations leech off the community without a requirement to give back.
Marry a database. These losers falling in love with AI don’t know how to be a real technophile.
Squatters rights?
They’re just applying their business tactics to Christianity now. They realized that religion wasn’t going away as fast as they hoped, and have fallen back on the old embrace, extend, extinguish playbook. I doubt they’ve realized the power of religion to drive them certifiably insane during the “embrace” phase.
Started moving to Element/Matrix this weekend when I attended a protest and wanted to have some kind of communication, but also wanted to leave my primary phone at home. I was using a de-googled android fork and an e-sim, but being a data-only e-sim, I couldn’t use Signal due to the phone number requirement.
Annoying to have try to get contacts to get another app, but at least it’s decentralized and comes with the option of being self-hosted once I’m ready to tackle that.
This has been a Microsoft wishlist feature since the 90s. I remember being a kid and reading articles in my dad’s copies of PC Magazine that Bill Gates wanted a computer without a keyboard that you could just talk to and tell it what to do.
So yeah, C-level intelligence is exactly right.
Mine aren’t quite that long, but are similar. And I’m a guy. I get really severe ingrown toenails if I keep mine trimmed too short, but don’t have any issues as long as I keep them grown out past the skin. Yes, they’re annoying, and took getting used to. I can still wear closed-toed shoes (occasionally I buy a size larger if the shape of the shoe feels tight on my nails). It all still beats the pain and occasional bloody socks from my nails cutting into my toes as they grow.
If anything eventually it’ll be like gardening seeds. Where yeah, there’s a lot of hybrid seeds that might be good for certain traits, but what a bunch of gardeners really want are heirloom varieties that are more naturally-selected and therefore more reliable over multiple generations.
Even as a 90s kid I only heard half of those from the Super Mario World Special Zone level titles (along with Mondo).
You could go the evil route and become a hitman as well, or rather a shitman, turning your targets into poo.
I would imagine they mean something like jellyfin/plex, which don’t necessarily get you away from torrents. Unless you want to go the slightly more legal route of ripping DVDs and Blu-rays and re-encoding everything for yourself. I say “slightly more legal” because while you are legally allowed a backup or archival copy of your own media (in the US), you still usually have to violate the DMCA to break encryption so you can rip your archival copy.
I know the Navy does march (despite the general uselessness of it for their operations), and some of the Navy vets I’ve talked with did consider it a point of pride that they could march better than other branches. But I have no clue if that is still a thing, and even if it is, I’m sure enough will deliberately do less than their best effort since it’s clearly more about Trump’s ego than honoring the Navy.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI be this creative with text without getting completely scrambled, if anything the crazy text is evidence that it isn’t AI slop.
I’ve had in-person jobs where I was on the clock for 12 hours and did probably 30-40 minutes worth of actual tasks over that time. I guess what I’m saying is that it isn’t only wfh jobs that can feel almost too “easy.” Only advice I have is enjoy it while you can, because if and when it ends, getting thrown back into a “normal” job can feel overwhelming for a bit.
Oh I have read and heard about all those things, none of them (to my knowledge) are being done by OpenAI, xAI, Google, Anthropic, or any of the large companies fueling the current AI bubble, which is why I call it a bubble. The things you mentioned are where AI has potential, and I think that continuing to throw billions at marginally better LLMs and generative models at this point is hurting the real innovators. And sure, maybe some of those who are innovating end up getting bought by the larger companies, but that’s not as good for their start-ups or for humanity at large.
It can be, but sometimes packages are removed from the official repos, but still available in AUR, only running yay -Syu will install the AUR versions of dependencies that are no longer needed, and can leave you with a bunch of unnecessary packages from AUR.
If you run pacman -Syu on its own the unnecessary dependencies will be removed and you won’t get the AUR versions, and then yay -Syu will only update things you actually want from AUR.
Andy Serkis? George Takei?
… oh nevermind, found the one you’re talking about.
