Oh sorry, that P actually stands for “PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor”.

The P in PHP stands for PHP.

Rust introduces novel features and makes notable changes from its ancestors.

Arch was just blue Gentoo.

You’d think people who think a lot about advertising would have picked a different agency name…

AI is not the whole cloud, it’s a fraction of the cloud

And yet it uses so much more energy per capita. This is not like a secret, dude.

Do you have any idea of the amount of water a datacenter consume ?

No. Nobody has exact figures because there is a mountain of intentional obfuscation hiding it. We know that it is a tremendous amount of water because we can estimate and we can see the data of towns literally going into extreme droughts right next to data centers, but is is suspiciously difficult to get actual numbers. This should tell you a lot.

Tell me where there is any proof this is meta fault

Did… did you not actually watch the video? The video very clearly answers this. Like, multiple times.

Go explain to these people why “bigger DCs are actually better”: https://youtu.be/DGjj7wDYaiI

Here’s the MIT Press detailing the ridiculous carbon and water impacts of data centers: https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/the-staggering-ecological-impacts-of-computation-and-the-cloud/

“AI” is not worth this.

Sure, some of them are much bigger and more environmentally destructive.

So this is Jenkins except it guzzles water and ruins the lives of people near data centers?

lol same. I thought the originals were a myth.

I’ll take my huge stack of Windows 3.1 floppies and see myself out.

It still seems like you have to be doing a lot of looking at the controls to use them, which is the whole complaint about a lack of physical buttons.

I am not sure why qwant seems to get mentioned so frequently. My experience is that the search results are mediocre at best and they shove ads in your face on every page.

I highly recommend Kagi, I’ve been with them since basically the beginning and they have been fantastic. I do pay for their service, but the value proposition is absolutely there.

Kagi is a fantastic search engine, gets all the critical shit right.

And that’s the story of how I decided against Sailfish.

That… that is the punchline. It being the same punchline is the punchline of this joke. It’s commentary as humor.

The problem is that It’s a cop out, a ruse, a diversion, a disingenuous misrepresentation of what’s happening here. It’s a flat out straw man.

Casting taking down signs that say “everyone is welcome here” as strengthening our children is simply not an assertion based in reality. Yes, we need to be real with our children so they can be prepared for the real world but this scenario is not applicable to that argument.

I would argue that taking down these signs weakens our children by sending a message that being different is bad—the exact message racists and bigots have been pushing forever. It robs them of a little bit of their humanity and we should not be tolerant of this.

If you don’t see a problem with the sign being up then I’m not sure why you needed to offer a counterpoint that we’re “over sheltering” children. Taking the time to write out a rebuttal sure would seem to indicate that you think the signs coming down are a good thing.

I strongly disagree with you.

Aside from the fact that teaching children to be inclusive and accepting is the path to these things being normal in the future, “well you have to learn to be offended” is the shield of the bully. It’s what people who want to be assholes say to protect their assholery.

But you know what, if someone needs to learn to be offended then maybe it’s the bigots and bullies that need to learn that inclusive language is here to stay and to just deal with it.

Wut? ST is a cult classic.

Safari definitely gets more hate than it deserves. I find it to be perfectly acceptable.

I would prefer more competition though, even though I know today it’ll be a ton of “cram some AI into it” slop.
