What’s worse is when that asshole tickles my sinus nerves just a little, never actually letting me sneeze, but still being an annoying piece of shit.

Brag about being an Arch user (BTW.)

The victims of this attack should just call up their credit card companies and contest the charges.

Wait…

LLMs in medicine. What could go wrong?

I’ve got my caps lock key remapped to escape.

I use my left pinky for ctrl, shift, a, and my remapped caps lock/escape key.

I use my right pinky for shift, enter, and I’m pretty sure that’s all.

I use my ring fingers for backspace, tilde, tab, q, backslash, quote, and that probably isn’t a comprehensive list.

I use my middle finger for semicolon/colon! I never realized that before. Wild.

New anxiety unlocked.

Just off the top of my head, I’m thinking:

• They’re probably expecting the GM and/or other players to respond with either “sorry, that schedule won’t work for us” or “yeah, that works for us, tell us about yourself.” Like, why type up a three-paragraph introduction when there’s like a 50% (or more) chance that bit of information will quickly indicate that no, it won’t work out.
• Are you sure they didn’t just assume the chatroom owner was the GM?
• So far I think they’re just trying to gauge whether it’s going to work out logistically.
• Again, are you sure they haven’t just mistaken the channel owner for the person is most responsible for organizing?

I guess just going on that information, it does feel to me like maybe you’re reading too much into it. It’s entirely possible I’m missing something that would change my take, though.

There’s nothing fundamentally wrong with LLMs.

Disagree.

LLMs should die in a fire.

Not enough people are talking about the SFC v. Visio case currently being heard in California. Depending on the outcome of the case (and it’s looking fairly good for the Software Freedom Conservancy, not to get anyone’s hopes up), we might have fully-FOSS distros for existing consumer smart TVs sometime in the somewhat-not-too-distant future. Like we have OpenWRT and dd-wrt for routers and Graphine and LineageOS for smartphones. And there are potential implications for other types of consumer hardware devices.

Shit, is that being considered?

I do this sometimes, and I hate when I catch myself doing it.

Add one more adapter to plug that 1/4" into a sound card, plug a printer into the other end, and then hire Abdul Alhazred to write a Cups driver.

Oh it’s worse than that. Or maybe you’re talking about a different one. But the one I remember involved the 4channer absent-mindedly leaving the cum jar with his Rainbow Dash figurine in it on the radiator heating thing and finding said cumjar boiling. He boiled Rainbow Dash in cum.

ATBGE?

Never have I been so ashamed to cast an upvote. I’m still considering swapping for a downvote.

I use dmenu_run because it’s ridiculously minimal, has zero dependencies, is very fast, and fits with the i3 aesthetic well.

We have to go deeper.

I can’t imagine it’s going to be very long before Elon’s hostile attitude toward basic safety results in a high-profile catastrophy involving human deaths under the ospices of Space X.

Honestly, this isn’t much of a hypothetical for me. At work, my choices are Windows, Mac, or Ubuntu. I’m quite happy with Ubuntu, though I’ve switched away from the default desktop environment to i3.

I use Arch (BTW) on my personal systems. And Ubuntu isn’t as bad as I worried it would be.

My main gripe is snaps. Firefox is practically unusable as a snap. And my employer forbids installing any software (save for a select list of exceptions) not via the officially-supported Ubuntu way of doing things. Chrome is available without snap, so I use it on my work machine. Which annoys me, but if I’m less efficient in my job as a result, it’s their own fault.
