While SO is toxic, it’s mostly about the failure of the supplicant to do the fucking research (RTFM or equivalent these days goddammit, and is usually backed by ppl with actual knowledge, Chat GPT / LLMs., not so much.

Rotary (Pie) menus rock and should be everywhere, not just controller games. I like Kando. I like keyboards too, but when I’m mousing around it lets me do so much without bothering to touch a keyboard.

I hear you, you makes sense, but that way lies the death of personal general computing, which would be a crying shame. You’ll have nothing and (won’t) like it a few years later, SaaS taking over powered by all those ‘AI’ datacentres. Peak phone could even have happened if RAM becomes prohibitive, instead they’re just windows on an all centralized, subscription web services. I see it as a pretty existential threat for my preferred way of life.

Well said.

You may be Crack’d.`

FOSS obviously, why is this a question ? Just support KDE (or Gnome if you like that)

If you’re after direct hate on AI, you’re swimming upstream, it’s propping up the government of the largest economy in the world. Just wait, it’s unsustainable.

Eh, we could talk about security and the ancientness of X11, but the fact is wayland is where the dev is happening , you may lag a bit with LTS kernels, but it’ll get there.

Still wish I could cast an apps window to another machine (someone got a way with wayland) but otherwise with a modern kernel it significantly outperforms X. Give Bazzite a whirl, you’ll see.

Super informative if true, like mercator projection if you understand it. Is it ?, or just a meme / AI, fucking timeline. Source?

GIGO

In Anna’s, thanks, likely useful…(to me), 1990.

Beautiful Soup (python library, bs4) is also fren

This, non ironically, teach them early there’s places (actually settings is a better word, but a more advanced concept) it’s OK and places it’s not. Bonus points for teaching them that the less they use swearing the more useful it will be at combating pain and stress (scientific fact BTW), so use it when needed, but generally make your point more civilly.

Same, many years now, does the job well, simple web interface without any fuss. Docker (in my case podman, but whatever) version is pretty damn bulletproof, can’t remember the last time I needed to do anything to it. Tailscale / Headscale / wireguard will let you use it on your phone’s browser if you’re keen on that.

All of you who can’t understand the concept of feature complete (see syncthing drama for example) find something useful to do. I promise it’s out there.

IIRC the other nine had to kill them, by beating with sticks? which makes it so much worse. Rarely used in extremis I believe.

Pretty much that government API you mentioned, rather than the platform self regulating. Fox guarding the hen house and all…

Cybersecurity: where defenders have to win every day and attackers only have to win once.

Anything like age verification should probably be handled with absolute minimum identifiable information (i.e. you’re older than X true / false) from an authoritative source like say the people who give out IDs (because if they’re broken into everyone’s screwed anyway). Instead OzGov has dumped it in the laps of the corpos, who will hoover up pictures of IDs or faces instead. As of a couple of days beforehand there’s still no actual information on these age verification protocols to my knowledge, very untransparent, very disturbing. Corpos being required to moderate their platforms would be good, this is not that.

It’s the limit our legal liability and PR damage because we’re cheaping out on cybersecurity plan, not uncommon.

Observational bias : You remember only the bad ones, especially as they are the ones most likely to wake you, and thus cross the memory barrier to the conscious. You likely have good ones as well that you don’t remember.

If it really bothers you consider keeping a dream journal for a few months which should make you able to remember more, and more of your dreams. If it turns out you really have no good dreams, the next step is to learn lucid dreaming and fix that shit. If that’s too much work, you can try repeating “I will have good dreams” in your head as you go to sleep, you might be lucky.

For the record, if the software updates stopped where they’re at today, I’d be fine with how the car functions until the end of its life. In fact, I kinda wish they’d just leave things alone at this point because I don’t want any extra features out of the thing.

And therein lies the rub, you don’t get to choose, the corpo does and you have to trust them (you do trust them, don’t you?). Pretty much like you’re renting, not owning. As the article points out this is similar to phone ‘ownership’, hopefully in the fullness of time there will be a GrapheneOS equivalent for cars…

Dev work in the uBlue family (and yes I use bazzite for dev) leans heavily on distrobox (think development containers). Took a bit to adapt but now I think it’s the ducks nuts. Because you decouple the dev environment from the main, immutable OS you get a lot of wins, especially if you work with a lot of different projects as you can setup distroboxes specifically for each. AI code that only works with specific drivers / libraries / python with instructions only for Ubuntu or Arch, no worries, make up a distrobox, when you’re finished archive it and spin it up later if needed. If you’re only working one project on say LTS or something it’s going to be much less of a win, but for the flexible developer it’s a godsend.

As to doom emacs or whatever, I have a post install script for distroboxes that sets up my preferred environment for the big 3 (Fedora, Arch, Ubuntu), it’s not hard. Very much a kill your darlings philosophy.

ETA Because of this workflow it really doesn’t matter what the host OS is, so it may as well be something I can game on, and I’m fond of the Fedora relative stability with sharp, but not bleeding edge.
