If there’s one thing we’re good at, it’s moving rocks around

Yup. It’s a pretty wondrous material, except the bit about causing cancer.

Removing the need to do any research is just removing another exercise for the brain. Perfectly crafted AI educational videos might be closer to mental junk food than anything.

Android Messages and Facebook Messenger also pushed in AI as ‘something you can chat with’

I’m not here to talk to your fucking chatbot I’m here to talk to my friends and family.

“If Kamala is elected the economy will be destroyed” - cons in October

“Going through the hardship is patriotic” - cons now

At Amazon, we assumed that size and visibility would be enough to attract customers

Literally “we’re big so we’ll make money” with no thought on the product actually being offered.

Hilarious.

Executive Orders are closer to press releases than they are to law. They can say pretty much anything - whether those things are enforceable or even consistent with reality is up to the courts.

“he has to” does he though? He has enough money for him and his entire lineage to live lavishly for eternity. He can dip out today and stop working forever, relax on a beach, and disconnect from the world like Tom from MySpace did.

He’s not being forced to do anything.

Most people (I hope, I don’t tune in too much) deny that the climate is changing. They just deny that human activity is causing it.

So they see all the wildfires and hurricanes and heatwaves and biodiversity collapse and coral bleaching and give a big shrug and “eh, whaddyagunnadoaboutit”

They don’t care about hypocrisy.

I just want the GOP to get absolutely pummeled for once so we can move the overton window back in the right direction. No I don’t like the dems. Yes I will vote for them every time as they represent the closest to what I want.

I loved the puzzle dungeons of the previous games. The shrines feel like just puzzles, with no real dungeon.

When he first started he used Pop!_OS and an issue with their packages uninstalled the DE when he tried to install steam which was a really terrible look. A bug which I believe wasn’t present in any other debian/ubuntu based distro. He then moved to Manjaro, an Arch-based distro, and just had more problems with hardware.

I wish they’d try again and just use a user-friendly distro with more momentum behind it and stability, and realistically that means Ubuntu or Mint. Or take a tour through desktop environments, package managers, and what the differences between distros actually are.

FOSS is a really big reason to run Linux. In ten years you can trust that your Linux install will be running and up to date. In ten years there’s a non-zero chance Microsoft will have moved to a forced subscription model for Windows.

It also just runs faster, can fully update itself and all installed software with a few button clicks or one terminal command, and has tons of options for people who have more technical skill.

Related to OP’s question: is it possible to have the 1B boot from something other than an SD card?

I ran it as a PiHole for awhile, until it chewed through two SD cards. I’d like to use it for the GPIO functionality but I don’t want have it randomly crap out again.

I have been using KeePass for eight years. Used to just shuffle the file around with Google Drive, now I have it sync’d with Syncthing across a few devices. I use its notes feature to store associated data like S3 keys and it stores my SSH key and KeePassXC can automatically add it to an SSH agent.

I don’t really have any complaints about it.

Docker cp piped into restic, uploading to wasabi. Works well, I recently recovered from a hard drive failure and everything just worked.

Avoiding corporate software companies and abandoning established communities on principle isn’t something your average person does. Also, wrapping your head around the Fediverse, even if the sign-up process is as simple as other platforms, can be an obstacle for most people.

Yep. Used to be my fiance’s college laptop.

Works for me, running about 30 containers. The Philips hub has recently been replaced by a Conbee II
