My defence: I thought there is a slight difference: Ignorant -> willingfully ignoring vs. Not knowing better -> you do the best with what you know, which might not be right. Like me when I posted. What’s wrong is blaming people for not knowing.

Uneducated people do what uneducated people do. Ignorant != Not knowing better.

Very good reading, and actually informative article.

“Paywall” stopped by pressing ESC.

<I hope somebody copied what was here>

I have read this, would recomend.

The fucked up thing with phones is the locked boot loaders. Locked boot loaders should not exist because this seriously restricts the driver and OS development.

I watched the live stream of the launch. You never know what happens until the rocket has reached space. From significant past launches was the launch of JWST, that was truly nerve racking and exciting, although no people were on the board.

Hopefully nothing will break, and we perhaps get a moon base in this century. (we do have more urgent things to research, but space research tends to produce more eye-opening and unexpected results.)

They launched the integrity of the USA off the planet, so it won’t bother them anymore for a few days.

I have recently realized that a sum negative knowledge situation can exist, and this is a thing with “AI”. The work the AI does may actually reduce the useful knowledge. It’s like you have built a working fusion reactor, but have zero knowledge how to replicate it or able to explain why it works.

The point this happens to a person, means she/he can’t be trusted with the tech and should stay far away from it.

The negative knowledge pit can be so deep that some people are unable to escape from it, and start confidently believing in the (AI injected) garbage like it’s their own thoughts…

Completely missing from the article is the syscall user dispatch being utilized finally: hardcoded NT syscalls can be handled instead of crashing. So, a program which didn’t work previously or crashed often may very well now work with Wine 11.5

Yes. Part of the inputs to Haber bosch process is natural gas and a ton of process heat. The hydrogen source has to be switched to H2 from electrolyzers and the plant can’t burn the NG for heat. So the energy cost for switching is very steep. This transition is huge, as it would decouple production of food from fossil fuels.

depend on that oil. I don’t, because I ride a bike.

I dont remember the exact number, but about half of the nitrogen in your body was made using oil/fossil fuels. This is the ultimate climate end boss fight, manufacturing everything without sucking (more) oil from the ground. Until this happens we are all slaves of it.

Cinnamon situation currently on arch feels such that it might break at any time, and in fact has recently. :-( I have absolutely loved the simplicity of this DE, but the breakages lately are worrisome. I’m considering migrating from cinnamon to plasma, but the added cruft that comes with the Plasma DE does not impress me. There is some tension; I have contributed to KDE projects, and I prefer KDE apps over gnome/GTK.

How well does plasma wayland tolerate unresponsive apps? I need to be able to keep graphical apps in this state for possibly an hour at time, as I run them under a debugger.

chuggles - I’m in danger - of data loss.

I burnt the “trustworthy life-left” of a 256GiB NVMe disk in approx 6 years by writting 25 TiB onto it. :D It still works, but doesn’t hold any important data.

I however do fear the day one of the 1TiB spinning rust disks, in RAID1, die. I created the array in 2020 but the disks are nearly twice as old. (~12 years) There is stuff from WinXp era on those disks that I as a young wipper snaper once developed - irreplaceable.

Holy fuck this made me laugh my ass off. (btw, if make any videos My Winter Car I’ll be watching because that is an accurate description of my life at the moment.)

I yesterday logged into my very old and dead M$ account. Holy fuck the experience of forced ads, timed pop ups, and thank good all of this fucking sloppy shit will be now deleted on my part. I’m not going near that diarrhea shit anymore unless paid.

I’m dum founded why we are even considering overseas services, there is a literal datacenter boom going on right now. There are many local, including massive ones like google, hetzner providers.

AWS, or cloud in general, is an money extortion service in practice for very large customers.

It’s always the fucking DNS. .__.

Current AI is a dead end, it’s less intelligent than a fly brain, which by the way can solve mazes with just 160,000 neurons, remember where the food is after hours of discovering such, is self replicating, and is a generic intelegect.

This honestly improved my day 200% :3
