If you’re important enough, your tomb may become a unisex urinal.

Linux can be intimidating. And there is going to be a learning curve. Especially if you’re the kind of windows user who’s familiar with gpedit and has custom .bat files.

But what get’s left out is the joy and satisfaction that comes with learning how to Linux. I just re-installed my OS a week ago, and I was able to recognize and resolve dependency and permissions issues without having to look anything up. I also finally learned and started using rsync for backups over SSH/SAMBA. I know it’s not much, but it made me feel like a real hackerman.

The only thing I learned in my last few years of Windows was how to disable features that annoyed me.

Because of the massive amounts of data LLMs need, there will always be garbage input. So the overall quality is limited to “average” writing. Punctuation, grammar, and spelling can be imitated rather easily. Quality prose cannot.

Cool. Do the Epstein files next.

They don’t need you to use AI to make revenue. They need you training AI to make it into a profitable product… that will replace you.

The cliche about how if the service is free, then you are the product is only half true. The other half is that participating in social media is also unpaid labor generating valuable IP without compensation or ownership.

Practical power production through nuclear fusion still requires significant developments for it to be realised at scale, though several startups are already planning to deliver it within the next few years.

That is a sentence.

I don’t care about mods or FPS in the hundreds. I care that the games are discounted to a reasonable price, include all the content, and fully patched/ optimized.

Any game ported to the PC needs to recognize controllers that are plugged in after launch and need to have a “quit to desktop” option.

I like Einstein and Socialism! But Einstein’s opinion on politics, while interesting, carries no special weight. On matters of mathematics and physics Einstein carries the authority of his knowledge. On matters of politics he’s just another dude.

Doors close and options narrow. The way you think about the future fundamentally changes.

You have to remember not to project your decline onto culture, society, and the world. You have to remember that many, many things are better now than when you were young.

Hi, you’ve reached my voicemail. At the tone, please hang up and send me a text.

Y’all realize that the Odyssey is fiction, right? Are you going to be upset if the Charybdis isn’t period accurate? What about the 6headed dragon? Look too much like Tiamat?

This is reddit level media criticism. Mindless contrarianism over focused on trivial details. At least we’re not arguing over the race/gender of the cast.

The Monroe Doctrine was a 19th and 20th century through-line where America intervened militarily in Mexico and South America.

The biggest difference between then and now is that the Monroe Doctrine was supposed be the US ‘protecting’ this hemisphere from European Colonialism, and Trump hasn’t bothered to lie about his motivation.

This was, is, and always will be an American colonial project.

That’s the 2nd amendment in action.

What do we say about a person who points at an 0 for 2 record as evidence their ideas are working?

so that when men wash their hands

I never did coke to get high, I just liked the smell
