I bought an LG microwave a few months ago to replace a dead 10 year old Sharp. My favorite “features”:
When I returned it they customer service person asked if I wanted it serviced under warranty – hilarious. Bought a Panasonic instead.
You’re not wrong, but the idea that “plant based” is “safe” isn’t right either. Plants can create all kinds of horribly toxic, carcinogenic compounds – especially when burned or heated.
Wood smoke of all things is mildly carcinogenic and we cook our food with it.
There are jobs where it’s not feasible or practical to pay an actual human to do.
Human translators exist and are far superior to machine translators. Do you hire one every time you need something translated in a casual setting, or do you use something Google translate? LLMs are the reason modern machine translation is is infinitely better than it was a few years ago.
One of the major problems with LLMs is it’s a “boom”. People are rightfully soured on them as a concept because jackasses trying to make money lie about their capabilities and utility – never mind the ethics of obtaining the datasets used to train them.
They’re absolutely limited, flawed, and there are better solutions for most problems … but beyond the bullshit LLMs are a useful tool for some problems and they’re not going away.
How dare people cope with something horrible by making jokes. Everyone knows it’s impossible to make those jokes while simultaneously being horrified by and pushing back against the thing they’re joking about.
I tried searching for “BSD memes” but all the results are for some cartoon by the same name.
Huh, they actually do:
And Matt Monson — who moved from the Dragon project to SpaceX’s satellite internet service Starlink — posted that Starlink uses a lot of application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), and that they too have a lot of experience with Linux. “For some level of scope on Starlink, each launch of 60 satellites contains more than 4,000 Linux computers. The constellation has more than 30,000 Linux nodes (and more than 6,000 microcontrollers) in space right now.

I don’t allow lunix in my house because it’s an illegal hacker operation system. I can’t believe an American hero like Elon would endorse something invented by the notorious Soviet computer hacker Linyos Torovoltos.
They almost certainly have in house legal teams and those lawyers are salaried.
You know it’s bad when you recognize the user name.

I feel like a lot of young linux users aren’t getting the talk and it makes me sad. Nobody ever sat them down with a copy of The Very Hungry Caterpillar and explained the life cycle of an IT professional.
They never learn the natural cycle of things: that at a certain age a lot of IT professionals undergo metamorphosis and transform into beautiful, sock-and-sandal wearing greybeards.
And make sure you shave your legs with the grain, not against. Ingrown hairs suck.
Sleep is for chucking the laptop in a bag and not interrupting your work flow.
Real men just touch the chassis.
Another mirror has the original comments. They’re exactly what you’d expect from 2001.
… I thought Lunix was invented by the infamous Soviet computer hacker Linyos Torovoltos.
I sticker my laptops.
I view it as theft deterrent. It stands out so it’s easier to see in someone’s hands, and makes an expensive laptop looks kind of shitty.
Like my distro?
So a tiara, duster jacket, kilt, one “stiletto pump” shoe, one wellington boot – and a roll’s worth of duck tape. Got it.
Hands you a random laptop.
“The thing doesn’t work.”
Refuses to elaborate and leaves.
