if Donald doesn’t declare victory and stop this shit.

LOL, at this point he’s dragged us into the “find out” stage. Even if he capitulates, there’s no reason Iran has to stop.

Being able to see a difference in code quality is one thing; being able to prove who wrote the code for purposes like license compliance is another.

They can’t fork it now because the fact that the AI commits aren’t labeled as such means there’s no way to tell which need to be removed.

Poettering has always been a piece of shit.

They’re almost certainly powering Palwntir’s shit, so yeah.

I would flip the whole chart diagonally so it lines up better with the political compass. I’d equate “corporate” with “right” instead of “authoritarian,” and “niche” with “libertarian” instead of “left.” Also, I would replace “independent” with “community/nonprofit.”

Oh man, I’m jealous. I only had two 19" monitors, and they didn’t match. I’ve still got them stored in the basement for eventual use in a retro game cabinet or something, but I’m kicking myself for not swapping them out for Trinitrons when everybody was throwing them out.

The destination Waffle House was apparently in Rome, GA. I wonder where the origin “50 miles away” was?

Not because I believe he actually teleported, mind you, but because he was obviously driving while blackout drunk and I want him to stay the Hell away from me.

I somewhat hope that he did that as a demonstration of, hey, someone may do this because it’s hard for me to wrap my head around someone who uses a computer for a living, doing something like that.

Nope, he genuinely didn’t bother to understand the warning before typing it. He may use computers for a living, but that just means he has a lot of very ingrained Windows bad habits to un-learn.

It was some pretty big Internet drama when it happened and he’s still trying to defend himself from the near-universal lambasting he got for it. Although I included the link just in case, I’m kinda surprised you (being a person tech-savvy enough to be posting on Lemmy) didn’t already hear of it.

He’s actually making a second attempt to switch to Linux right now (four years later), initially picked Pop!_OS again, and had some more problems with it. 🤦 He has a second channel where he posts clips from his podcast, and he keeps whining about how the other people doing it with him are having little to no trouble and he’s just cursed, LOL.

Run crontab -e and put this in the file, on its own line:

So unless you’re going for an extremely high resolution on a really cheap monitor over a long distance

Speaking of “extremely high resolution on a really cheap monitor,” it took a solid decade and a half before I was able to buy a digital flat-panel monitor capable of resolution comparable to the analog CRT I was using in 2002. VGA was no joke!

(The only problem with QXGA on a 19" CRT, aside from the weight and power draw, was that in a world before decent high-DPI fractional scaling the text was too tiny to read easily. Other than that, it worked fine.)

Honestly, having to have the user type “I agree that I have verified the application i am trying to install is genuine and not a fraudulent app”

Ask Other Linus how well that sort of thing (“Yes, do as I say!”) works, LOL!

I agree with you that Google’s anti-competitive time delay BS is likely to be ineffective for its claimed purpose, but frankly, I don’t think any other reasonable (i.e. non-rights-infringing) strategies would be effective either. Honestly, there’s a limit to how much effort you should go through to save idiots from themselves – and how much annoyance you impose on everyone else in the process! – and I think we’ve already hit it.

The only thing I use my bank app for is to deposit checks. It can’t be done from the desktop because it needs the phone camera to take photos of the check.

Things like LineageOS are a workaround, not a solution.

The solution has to be legal, not technical. Companies have to be stopped from trying to fuck with users’ property rights in the first place!

I have never heard of any generative AI system capable of doing anything useful with 3D models. If you ever find one, PM me to let me know!

Everybody knew dot-coms in 2000 and houses in 2007 were bubbles, too. But they kept investing anyway, because they didn’t know when it would pop and FOMO is a helluva drug.
