What do you mean? The sun gets chased away every night, though I think that gets outsourced to Sköll, a wolf.

Maintaining continuity of consciousness is the only thing that would make me feel comfortable with converting myself to a machine intelligence.

Never dehumanize fascists or fascist-sympathizers (redundant but ok), it’s always important to remember that bad faith actors or their stooges are human and cannot be entirely eliminated from society, which is why people that fight for positive change have to set the rules such that bad faith actors’ actions are either quickly recognized and mitigated, or have society structured such that even those motivated solely by unempathetic selfishness can only achieve status by masking and contributing positively anyway.

Nah, you can enroll your own keys and set it up so you can be reasonably certain that your boot image hasn’t been altered, validating its integrity against the potential threat of bootkits. I do this with my Gentoo install.

Isn’t post-quantum cryptography already a thing? Probably not implemented in anything meaningful yet, but still.

However, you could make the case that gnome ceremorphs or gnome squidlings could pretend to be kids if a normal mindflayer wanted some fucked up version of a family for whatever reason.

Jazz has the same etymology, it’s pretty spunky.

Mine is IBM Plex Mono, but the nerdfont ‘Blex’ variety.

I’ve always wanted to try both of those.

Yep, I drink mead, i.e. honey wine. It’s really good, doesn’t give me as much of a headache as beer these days. Sometimes it’s too sweet, I haven’t found a good dry one around here though.

I played around with Gentoo a few years ago, got it working but then got annoyed with some binaries taking too long. Wanted to build a machine I couldn’t hack though, and now there’s a repo with precompiled bins if you ask portage nicely, so I figured I’d give it a shot again. Maybe it was the mead but I forgot to do that for gcc though. oops

What a coincidence, I’m drinking mead and installing Gentoo. Currently compiling gcc, always takes forever, maybe I should’ve gone with the recompiled binary for that one lol.

No ragrets.

I think it’s the majority, still. Not sure if that’s technically changed to KDE with Steam Decks though.

This post is satirical.

Part of me is still half-convinced that there are whole galaxy clusters of antimatter that are simply too far away from other clusters to produce any noticeable gamma rays, and the reason they didn’t interact near the beginning of the universe is the same reason the whole thing didn’t collapse into a super massive black hole: we don’t know yet, but probably along the same lines as dark energy. A lot of it did probably interact though and that’s where a lot of the CMB comes from.

I’m definitely a lay person though, I’m sure an actual physicist can tell me that’s definitely not the case, I just don’t know why not yet.

If they were apologetic about it I wouldn’t be so disappointed.

I’d assume most people have peeled an orange, but probably not a lemon. Interesting question though.

I mean it was 0.01, at that point he was screwed anyway, and he fixed his program.

Yes. Yes we are.

I love that in the version I read, Azrael’s “YES” took up two pages by itself, just to get the point across.

Every day, your body will probably generate at least one cell that would be cancerous if it wasn’t for your immune system. If that probability goes up slightly as a result of mildly increased radiation that day, it likely won’t overload the immune system’s capacity to deal with it. If it is overexposed to radiation, eventually the greater probability of cancerous mutations exceeds the immune system’s capacity.
