As fun as it is to see Everett thump someone, the bits where he takes a well deserved kick in the ass are even better.

I'm a fan of us all controlling our violent tendencies, in real life, but it's a giggle in comic form.

Ubuntu was a big part of my path to full time Linux use. I adore everyone who has contributed to Ubuntu.

But also, Snaps are bullshit, and are why I replaced all my Ubuntu installs with Debian.

Canonical doesn't get to pretend to be surprised by the backlash for pushing an unnecessary closed proprietary platform on their freedom seeking users.

I still adore everyone at Canonical and in the Ubuntu community, for all they've done for the Linux community. Y'all still rock. Thanks!

Real world experience can help, but what we have now is also too stupid to recognize when it's succeeding or failing. It just greedily gobbles up inputs and feedback indiscriminately.

There's currently no way to know if the necessary advancement, to advance independently of humans, is 2 years and 2000 years away.

Even so, nature tells us that advancement probably isn't coming at all. It's not needed, so long as there are billions of humans available to partner with.

Yeah. That's the difference people don't seem to understand.

AI is perfect for stuff that's just made up bullshit anyway.

Probably the first of many (companies that will do this.)

Perhaps Intel feels that return-to-office mandates aren't effective, while the savings are substantial from no longer needing to own a massive building.

Yep. Intel is committed to hybrid with no mandate.

We've made their point...a person can survive fireball by making the three death saving throws. Exactly how a fine pile of ash and dust can!

I had a job like that early-ish in my career.

I taught myself so much random tech stuff while I was being ignored for 8 hours each day.

I still love that boss. They were great.

...

I'm just realizing that's probably how Miles emerges as a miracle worker in DS9.

The screenshots sell it well. That's some funny stuff. I'll check out the demo.

I'm ignoring this problem, myself, right now.

Whenever I run certain flatpak commands, it nags me about a setting I haven't bothered with yet.

I would share that message, but I've been ignoring it.

Are we just not going to talk about this one?

...

Yeah. That's probably for the best.

Makes sense. Google has been replacing skilled engineers with tail-eating AI regurgitation engines, which are getting progressively worse as they eat their own shit.

But I've been told those regurgitation engines are about to get really smart and replace all skilled labor.

So maybe it'll be fine.

Or maybe, as we've already started to see, more and more useful stuff will only be available via the Internet wayback machine, until they kill it.

Watching it blind is the best way because the less you know about it the more it will entertain you.

Yes! I just tell friends that it's a horror flick, and a rollicking good time.

A decent number of folks have still never seen "Primer", since it was kind of an indie classic before it got a cult following.

It's a a must watch because:

A. It's just really well made. B. It's delightfully mind bending.

Yeah. Tucker and Dale vs Evil still gets way too little love.

It's a must watch because:

• The twist is perfect.
• Even after the reveal, it's just so dang fun and hilarious.
• Horror movies with a deep respect for life are often the best horror movies. Tucker and Dale has that, even if in a stupid goofy way.

But what if someone else's government creates the Torment Nexus before ours can?!

Yes, a degrading phone case can do that.

I'm enjoying the screenshot series. Thank you!

thanks for your help.

Sure thing. Feel free to keep us updated. I hate to see anyone have to use Windows longer than they want to.

Silence! Or we may wake it from "Normal" mode!

The arbitrary standard for the censorship in Fediverse is extremely bad.
