I fucking love halloween. If this is true, it’s one of the few redeeming aspects of USA culture.

Because it’s not downloading, which is the thing every one thinks is normal. It’s different, and potentially dangerous, which your phone will remind you any time you try to do it.

Codewars is a cool leetcode-esque thing with less of the corporate dystopia sheen.

Idk, I still think information wants to be free. If you figured it out just farting around, sophisticated malevolent actors are likely already doing similar things. Might be better to let the genie out of the bottle, so people can learn to be skeptical. Deep fakes are optimally effective when a majority still accepts the veracity of images as an article of faith.

it believes that to “categorically condemn the use of AI writing tools” is both “ableist and classist”. (The implication that working-class people and people with disabilities can only write fiction with the help of generative AI, however, is apparently A-OK.)

nothing about their initial statement implies that the poor and disabled need to or can only use AI. This sort of bad faith discourse irritates me. It’s a deliberate attempt to discredit those espousing an opposing opinion. It’s manipulative and intellectually dishonest.

Really, you already use gimp, but not linux?

Damn, I wanted to mention sqlite.

I find it easier using my pinky to hit ctrl than taking my fingers off the home row to use the arrow keys.

ctrl-b: move cursor back one character

ctrl-f: move cursor foward one character

ctrl-d: delete character under cursor

what do you mean by the Fuck you pay me thing?

Oof, that paywall. Right in the balls.

What is och?

The benefit is you don’t have to use windows. Obviously, it’s not a trade off that’s going to satisfy everybody.

Its pretty cool he mentioned the work of doug engelbert. I recently finished a book called ‘what the dormouse said: how the 60s counterculture shaped the personal computer.’ Kay’s comment makes me feel that was not just a bit of trivia, but a glimpse into the potential of computing that is tsill yet to be realized.

Plus crypto is volatile and you’d have to manage it a lot more to keep it pegged at “expensive enough”

this is a solved problem. Just change the crypto cost according to its exchange value. I pay for my vpn and my vps with crypto.

I think it’s safe to say guns are an offensive weapon

I thought id give flatpak firefox a shot and the profiles are broken. I might be able to fix it by making some symlinks but it left a bad taste in my mouth. I was unable to get it to recognize my userChrome.css

Can you elaborate because this is not obvious to me. Maybe we sre thinking different things when we talk about “openness” in this context.

I have perused it, but its both so dense and so broad that its not that helpful unless i know exactly what I’m looking for. I have also tried info and tldr. I actually like tldr the most,. although the exhaustiveness of the man pages must be admired. I dont find it to be the best teacher.
