I was also going to reference the Chandra XRay telescope, but holy shit, I had no idea it was almost 27 years old

Did that actually work? I’ve gotten in the habit of demand sources for outrageous claims, and it’s almost funny how often it quickly changes its tune when I press it.

Hopefully it actually keeps that up. I’ve put in a dozen or so directives because gpt has some really fucking stupid habits (like rewriting my whole fucking script when I asked for a minor revision, constantly using reserved names, awful syntax and style, etc) and it mostly follows them, but I still have to remind it almost daily to not do the shit I’ve told it not to do.

Corporate wants you to find the difference between these two concepts

#9: Stand and deliver

Dude is totally fucking her knees.

I’ve had to use outdated documentation that made the problem worse. So I guess bad documentation is like bad, unprotected sex with a lot lizard that leaves you with an itching or burning sensation.

What kind of “real world load” are you putting on your trimmer? Mine barely ever gets caught in hair, and when it does, the hair gets cut before it can apply any meaningful amount of force to the trimmer guard.

I mostly agree, but then there are pieces of media like Memento where spoiling it changes how you watch the movie. Because you’re likely going to be looking for how they put the movie together to build up to that reveal at the end.

Since they handle redundancy and backups I think it’s fine staying with them (+ great product)

This. I love self hosting services, but anything that I 100% can’t live without isn’t one of them. Because I don’t have the funds for proper redundancy/high availability, and my backup practices at home are… Not ideal. I’ve had a couple brushes with data loss due to gaps in backups, lack of monitoring for impending hardware failures, and had 2 disks suddenly die together in a raid array, all in over a decade of self hosting.

I have cold backups of most of my critical services, but they’re not nearly regular enough for me to trust my passwords to myself.

“Does this for profit news agency require money for information? Then surely academic research needs to require money to get the info as well! Nevermind that public funds are involved with a lot of research initially where news orgs don’t have that, we need to make a profit cuz reasons!”

Your POV is laughable. 😄

Right back at ya champ 😎

Don’t you know that everybody has that one friend, nephew, neighbor, colleague etc. that they ask for advice when buying a new laptop?

I was that guy and did front line tech support for a few years, and still do when I have to.

Plenty don’t, or can only rely on their work IT guy who may or may not be able to help them. Assuming they have an IT guy and haven’t farmed the work out to an MSP who doesn’t always have the time to help.

Just because your limited life experience says it doesn’t happen, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.

You’re really saying that they’d buy a laptop for cheap and install a new OS and aquire a key and all that? While I have your attention, are you interested in this bridge I have to sell you?

Suggesting that the average end user is more likely to reinstall an OS and aquire a key than to just learn how to use the new OS is fucking laughable.

"No one has talked about cutting one benefit in Medicaid to anyone who’s duly owed—what we’ve talked about is returning work requirements, so, for example, you don’t have able-bodied young men on a program that’s designed for single mothers and the elderly and disabled. They’re draining resources from people,” said House Speaker Mike Johnson last week.

‘Get fucked poors, sucks to suck when working full time still keeps you below the poverty line. Can’t afford to pay for you lazy fucks to see a doctor when we’ve got rich people who need the money more’

Do you have a guide or something to get started? I’ve considered doing this a couple of times, but haven’t had the bandwidth to dig in and figure it out.

So now we know how to instantly delist any project on GitHub.

Right? What could go wrong by mixing business and government?

Yet somehow, they’re the darling of the gaming scene.

It’s fucking bizarre.

It’s really not bizarre at all. You wanna know why game enthusiasts like valve? Take the list the other guy gave you and find a store that has close to half of the features steam offers. Add in great hardware support (my controller and my deck are some of the best experiences I’ve had), and a healthy dose of actually making Linux gaming viable for the average person, and it’s obvious AF why game enthusiasts like valve.

Even if they can’t count to 3.

Man, the number of places pornhub has pulled out of (hehehe) is nuts. Georgia is the only surprise on here, since Louisiana has some government program there using to stay live.

That’s fantastic news! Nvidia drivers are literally the reason I’ve abandoned Linux easily a half dozen times.

I don’t know, the last time I tried Linux the fucking Nvidia driver fucked my system a couple times before I said fuck it and went back to 10.

Going to try again with my amd card at some point
