Who did you think we were? This is who we’ve always been. They’re just getting comfortable taking the mask off again. Trust me, my grandmother and other family were put through the racist indian boarding schools. Common throughout the US and Canada. You know, the ones they keep finding mass graves on. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Just more subtle, less in your face.

Most people thought are too distracted with bread and circuses to care however.

Mastodon and miskey are interface’s to the same open public protocol.

Bluesky is another, largely private, twitter like microblog. That can, but may never in a significant sense allow something close to what the fediverse does.

The album it’s off of is a lot of fun. Though extremely hard to find these days. You might be able to look up the tracklist and find most of them floating around on YouTube somewhere. But I looked at their listing for the album proper and I think they had maybe one out of 13 tracks from the album.

Different genera covers are always a fun rabbit hole to go down. One of my go to favorites are psychobilly covers of anything.

Also to add to your cover collection.

A few things. Communism isn’t Marxist leninism. Communism isn’t authoritarian. And it’s not just Stalin and Mao. It’s literally everywhere Marxist leninism has ever been attempted. Communism is a classless stateless society. Therefore a Marxist leninist government will never become communist. Because they are defined by their class separation of those with political power and those without, and the strong overbearing presence of the state.

There’s nothing objectionable to Communism whatsoever. And no one should have any qualms about defending it ever. What we should question is why one group of authoritarians the Marxist leninist desire to be so closely tied to it. And another group of authoritarians the capitalists demand everyone be afraid of it.

While they are and will continue to be a scam. It is at least a step up from a guy dancing around in a spandex suit like the announcement was

To the shaming wheel with you. 😛

I bet if we just follow the tip out into the bay there is probably a fishnado.

Might actually be the sort of architecture RCE could get behind.

It was in the course of executing his duty. John Roberts says you can’t prosecute him for that. And if he marches them into ovens this time you can’t prosecute him for that either. The dream of Nixon and Roger Ailes has finally come to fruition. As Nixon said…

Well, when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal", by definition.

The coup has already occurred. And everyone collectively yawned.

Unfortunately 1,300 still “so far”. People are ready to give him another crack at it.🤮

After all the fud and opposition they’ve pushed against it over the years. It’s nice to see them finally do things to help it.

Quick edit to add that it couldn’t come at a better time now that there are companies like system 76 out there. Making Linux compatible systems that ship with Linux that you can actually recommend to someone who is a novice to pick up. They may be on a more expensive side. But what’s your privacy worth?

Any distro can do this. However the “user friendly” ones would tend to be the worst about it. Wanting to beep boop to get your attention for updates etc. I won’t say which distro I use “by the way”. But with Linux you are the admin. You own the system. You can disable noisy update notifiers or things that would wake the system. I had an HP elite book with garuda on it. I accidentally left it on and “charging” for several days. Thought it was unplugged and off. Didn’t show any signs of life till I dropped something on the KB.

The first sentence addressed what they talked about. It’s great as an assistant to cut through documentation to get at what you need. In fact, here’s a recent video from Perry Fractic doing just that with microtext for the C64.

Anything else like having it generate the code itself, it’s more of a liability than an asset. Since it doesn’t really understand what its doing.

Perhaps I should have separated the two thoughts initially? Either way I’ve said my piece.

It’s great for regurgitating pre written text. For generating new or usable code it’s largely useless. It doesn’t have an actual understanding of what it says. It can recombine information and elements its seen before. But not generate anything truly unique.

Who in their right Minds would want to be a nerd but not a venture brothers fan?

Well running a server and no longer interacting with a service can be two different things. From an organizational standpoint I could absolutely understand them not wanting or needing the expense of another service to maintain. Even for just their own use. As long as they still have accounts and post to the fediverse. I don’t see a big issue

It’s literally just a two to three minute long video. With literal links to the research paper in question. Perhaps you should read more and talk less.

Wrong as usual. Heres a video from 2 years ago. From an actual light transport researcher for 3d rendering. Again, this likely won’t be on your 50 series GPU. But it is something very actively being researched. And likely will start showing up in consumer hardware before the end of the decade.
