I’ve seen live people actually starting a bonfire in their living room something like 20 years ago, so to me this is perfectly possible :D

Because some people think that getting high as a kite is a suitable way to not be depressed.

Journalist doing reports in front of their dildo collection: “hold my beer”

There’s a ton of great small scale things we can do with machine learning, and even LLM.

Unfortunately, it seems the main usages will be crushing people down even more.

Humans loves to see patterns in everything.

I like the “encryption, but we have the keys” approach. Makes it very secure, especially since MS never had any security breach or leak, ever.

HTTPS isn’t only about encryption; it’s about talking to the right servers.

Die, Rulph, said the reader.

(most) films and video games requires a bit of engagement from you.

.txz, I’m too lazy to type the full name

Only three? PITCHFORKS!

They’re not very good at it, are they? :D

I’m trying a new approach. Since I won’t touch anything beyond W10, and W10 is getting officially phased out, I just informed people that I won’t provide tech support for W11 and beyond.

Russia on its quest to find something it can fight and win against.

AI isn’t smart. But the current level of robotic and AI we have (well, we had even before LLM) could enable a society were a lot of basic needs could be done very efficiently by machines, making it meaningless for people to have to fight for these basic needs.

Unfortunately, the goal is to increase ROI.

More like “die”. Because the basic income that should be enabled by robots doing our job is not coming anytime soon, sadly.

Physicists are warry about splitting atoms; historians are warry about splitting Germany.

Yes, the issue is not the glaring error we catch and laugh about; it’s the one that fly under the radar. This could potentially be dramatic.

“And now, I’ll make these allegations disappear!”

Not at all. I’m arguing that often, the issues, and fixes, are not distribution-dependant. Which is a good thing; it means we can go to arch forum and find fixes that can be applied in other distros most of the time, for example.

But people keep pitting them against each other like they’re some form of evolved lifeforms that necessarily have to erase others, when a lot of the issues are just generic software issues.

And, since this is already a justification post I’ll take the lead and note that it does not mean that there is no distribution-specific issues. Of course there are. The point is that most software issue in distribution X will have the same cause and fix in distribution Y, and often have nothing to do with either specific distributions.
