There’s a great German TV show from a few years back about a crime scene cleaner “Tatortreiniger”. It’s more philosophical/funny than gruesome and worth a watch if you don’t mind reading sub-titles. The BBC did an adaptation in English, but I’ve not watched it yet.

Why not support OpenSuse instead of starting from scratch? Mature, EU based, enterprise ready… it checks all the boxes IMHO.

I did a job developing a multimedia CD that trained doctors. Well, it was more of a marketing tool. For oncology… of the face and genitals. It was easily the most harrowing experience of my career. So many genitalia and tongues with hideous growths and what have you. The people who agreed to be photographed were both brave and very, very unwell.

I was on the tech team, sonI got off quite lightly. The two graphics people spent day after day aligning and processing these photos so that everything was clearly visible. I don’t know how they slept at night.

I left after a year. I don’t think anyone managed longer than that.

The comments on Phoronix definitely took a racist turn…

I don’t find videos useful for learning in general. Give me a well written how-to guide, and I’m good. May be videos work for others, though, and who am I to judge?

I wonder what the apologists from .ml have to say…

Kick Hungary out of Schengen, for fucks sake, it’s ot that hard.

My understanding is that it boots faster. That’s a nice thing to have on a container that spins up on demand.

Bela Lugosi is a great tune, but there are plenty of others. Check out the dub inspired She’s In Parties, the gloomy Passion of Lovers or the post-punk Dark Entries.

I’m no economist, but I thought 2% or so was ideal for the economy.

Damn it, I forgot Bauhaus. Is it too late to change my mind?

This is a really hard question, so many gigs to choose from. I’d probably choose a VNV Nation gig I went to in Slimelight, London. They were famous (in the goth scene, at least) at that point but did an intentionally small gig for the old fans.

A close #2 would be The Dead Milkmen at a gig in Marburg back in the 90s. Was the first time I heard the grunge sound, and I thought it was excellent.

So much good music, so little time…

I saw then a few years back and not only was it a good show, it was one of the longest gigs I’ve ever been to. Great value for money.

As someone who loves tomatoes… what a waste.

OK, it was a basic pattern recognition model, nothing nearly as sophisticated as we have now, but I think it would have performed significantly faster.

I had the idea to offload machine learning to GPUs back in the early 00’s. I was working for a company doing number plate recognition back then, so I was even in a position to act on my idea… but my boss thought I was nuts.

I’m not sure how much money I would have made, but it’s got to be better than this!

I went from Boost for Reddit straight to Boost for Lemmy. It does everything I need and the dev is quite active with new features etc.

Everyone is talking about the number of fingers… but what about those dead eyes? 😱

That’s news to me - and a bit of a dick move.

New Thinkpads are still great Linux laptops, so there’s a steady stream of newer 2nd hand models coming on the market.
