My brother in programming,

please don’t use AI for data format conversion when deterministic energy efficient means are readily available.

• an old man.

Someone who gets the fucking context.

The fact they aren’t replacing him is perfection.

Noped out after having to click through to different pages while wading through gobs of text.

Edit: if anyone has a concise overview, I’d be interested.

… and this is how IT ends up being responsible for a breach.

It is a bug, unexpected and undefined behavior - it shouldnt have been there.

You are not wrong about the outcome from a capitalist view, but otherwise you are.

lol at 3/4 of a megabyte of Vue components being ok and thinking node_modules is the issue at hand.

Everyone down voting a story about alligators ripping a.dude apart in front of his family by a person called Lost_My_Mind. What is the fediverse coming to?

Just saying, in this thread about Linux adoption, that for every case of nitpicky issue like this I think it worth mentioning that I have had fewer issues than I had under windows.

Edit to try to be clearer: I usually don’t comment in these threads, but I am worried that these threads then only end up with people in your situation while people like me stay quiet, giving the incorrect impression that all people will have issues.

I have an all AMD rig and no issues. 🤷‍♂️

No, thanks. My Linux setup has been fine for everything for a while now.

Edit: leaving this comment just to balance yours, not to say you are wrong. Linux is better than windows, hands down, if you are in the segment like me that doesn’t play any PvP games that need anti cheat. (Client-side anti-cheat is harmful, BTW.)

I ran a BBS back when the computers had to screech at each other and I always described the feeling of the rise of the internet as “moving from a small town to the big city.”

I very much appreciate this analogy.

America: Snowflake Country

Your sense of history is brutally stunted.

Because conservatives have been gutting education every chance they get throughout history. 🤷‍♂️

$16M for 3 scientists for 3 years? I hope those scientists are bringing their whole labs with them?

By helping eject from those systems. There’s lots of cool open source projects based on all sorts of different hardware. And you can self-host some bits and pieces of your digital life if you really feel motivated to.

I don’t know if it’s much help but I never said it would solve all the things you seem to want it to. There are some alternatives out there for people feeling trapped by big tech, I’m just trying to share a small piece of that.

Maybe we disagree on the kinds of technological problems society needs to solve. 🤷‍♂️

Ok, but the solution is super easy, low cost, and right in front of you. Pick up a Raspberry Pi if you want to go even cheaper. If you are uncomfortable with electronics, you can still piece together a bunch of cool stuff just using USB as your interface of choice.

Also, 10" mini racks are cool.

Lots of cool stuff happening in tech if you look outside of the big corporations.

If she isn’t the Dem nominee she should still run. I think we could put a progressive in here in CA.

You can order a Linux handheld n100 touchscreen for under $300. Technology is absolutely fun today.

Tesla has a lot further to go. No way is that failing car company worth more than multiple other car companies combined.

The valuation is all smoke and mirrors.
