I have, and it was basically a curse-word ridden version of another book that was published around the same time. The “unfucked” version was better IMO, but I don’t remember what it was called. I guess gimmicks really do help a book succeed.

What are you even talking about?

Stop giving chat bots tools with this kind of access.

The interceptor missiles they use – I forget the name because I don’t have a war boner – are expensive and have limited production capacity versus drones which are low five figures a unit and can be manufactured quickly.

I read some article basically saying wasting all of the missiles leaves a lot of the other places we protect open to attack and that our more serious enemies (China with Taiwan for instance) may be taking notes about how many we’re using.

The “you’re holding it wrong” of open source software.

Eh, not really dude. Linux cannot possibly account for each and every unique hardware combination that is put to market – some of which are being invented as I type this sentence.

Some hardware is written with firmware that falls outside of standards and specs and some hardware producers are actively hostile to people providing support for their hardware on alternative platforms. Computer hardware and peripherals are a huge market with lots of players. I’m saying if Linux support is important to you, then make it part of your evaluation criteria when you buy new hardware. Or don’t if it isn’t.

Linux doesn’t have significant enough consumer market share to pressure hardware manufacturers into providing support for them, and it also is a free operating system – not one helmed by a massive multi-national corporation that can use billions of dollars to pressure hardware manufacturers into following their whims.

So it’s not software that doesn’t work but hardware that’s weird then? Sure, makes sense.

Next time you buy hardware look it up. Once you’re on stuff that’ll work in Linux you should be able to jump over easily then.

I don’t play any of these particular games but I have other software that doesn’t run on Linux without considerable effort.

Anything that isn’t a game can typically be run on a virtual machine.

He is pro-war. He just thinks that the former presidents were “stupid” for not “taking the oil”. Anyone who believed otherwise is just a fucking fool who got duped again, and the media should be fucking ashamed of themselves for their performance in 2024 covering him.

Hah

I’m getting to the point where I basically predicted it would happen on Saturday too, because Trump has to make every single day all about himself. He just hates that weekend break where people do things like…not think as much about politics and spend time with their loved ones. It’s also why he posted some unhinged amount of posts over the Christmas / New Year’s holidays.

I guess the future really is female.

This article, like Schumer’s statement after the attack reads like, “come on man, I’m horny to get bombing in Iran, but you didn’t apply the customary lube first.”

What’s not normal is that this guy doesn’t pretend to care about the people he gets killed. It’s fairly normal otherwise, but there is an aesthetic difference, and since America is full of aesthetes the difference seems very large indeed.

In other words, we’re in the “so rude, no lube” era.

Nowhere is this made more apparent than in Schumer’s statement about the war. He is basically saying “I would’ve gotten on board with bombing Iran, but you have to shmooze me first!”.

Much about his current reign of terror is about him suffering a narcissistic wound by losing (bigly) in 2020.

The thing is: I am 100 % sure those people use LLM answer not out of disrespect but because they honestly believe that an LLM produces a better argument than they possibly could themselves.

And I have zero confidence your 100% because you have zero backing for your claim other than believing people have good intentions.

Totally agree. When someone sends me some AI slop about a topic I have knowledge about – which I’ve had this happen to me recently during a debug session – and asks me to read it, I think to myself “this person does not respect me, otherwise they wouldn’t be telling me to read stuff that may or may not be accurate that they themselves never read.” It’s like a new, worse version of “let me google that for you” but without the sarcasm, and without the results actually being helpful.

agree

ETA: Or secretary of defense.

*Secretary of war(crimes)

🤦 That dude with no values in the middle continually trying to land the flipped coin on its edge…and the Republican-lite lady on the end trying to clarify the questions to see how much genocide she is being asked to support.

Hopefully Kat wins.

Gerrymandering doesn’t apply in a state-wide election. Voter suppression does though.
