Something somethING ICE in bed with Telcos to deport foreigners buying burner phones?

Its efficiency ‘hello’ to me is an empty word. But I am not going to say, “How do you do?” to someone to start a conversation. so saying, ‘howdy’ is the hill I am dying on.

Task failed successfully?

Please let it be stupidly implemented such that I can convince the AI to pay me to fly Delta. (IMHO, how are they even a big airline player? I give it they are a step above Spirit but that’s all they got)

But for the lulz, what was its response and why was it more than 1 word? (I have yet to see a non single purpose driven Instruct AI actually adhere to the single word directive on a complex topic.)

Aye! Silver lining is that the project is done before DOGE decided it was a government waste project and the feds investigate it for DEI.

Even if he believed that, why isn’t he calling for more regulation oversight for the FDA and stringent quality controls on the food production supply chain as a whole?

Surprised Pikachu face

But in all seriousness. Always looked at them as Middle Class version of payday loans. Never would have considered one but gosh darn… If things don’t improve I can see myself begrudgingly getting one for something I need.

By no means is having 106 children normal or sane. But now I have a legit answer when someone says, “Why would anyone need $1 Billion.” I can now say, “So each of my 100 kids can get $10Million in inheritance money.”

10mil is still “set for life” territory just with an added debuff of, “If managed and invested carefully”

Nope, Self hosted deepseek 8b thinking and distilled variants still clam up about Tianmen Square

Emacs since it’sa trojan horse for an operating system on an operating system.

Sweatshops are bad. But can you imagine what sort of horror show of efficiency if you told an industrial engineer, “ethics and safety don’t matter, we are literally pulling people off the street to do the job”

Lol, could you imagine if the president just came out on a live broadcast and said, “I pardon everyone currently convicted of a federal crime”

I always put all of the code in the main block. Only exception is when I am creating a multithreaded/multiprocessor application. Then I normally use the if statement as the place to setup “the plumbing” with pipes and what not. That way people are forced to realize there is no main function but two co functions working in tandem

I declare war on this hill!

• Peak windows was Windows 7 in both design and Function. It was pinnacle User Experience of a traditional OS before Microsoft started chasing fads, (Touchscreens in Windows 8, Cloud integration in Windows 10, and now AI bullshit in Windows 11)
• No opinion on macOS. My only complaint is that its not linux.
• Instead of Flatpak I would replace that with AppImages. At least with Flatpak I get some semblance of the SW Integrating with my DE and a semblance of a package manager. AppImages I feel like are like rolling the dice on how much effort the dev put into it.

I am desperately trying to be positive in a really bleak situation. But……

Maybe this is the 5D Master class Chinese Checkers move by the administration? Make the EU the primary regulatory source for medical trials and set the bar here in the USA by saying its FDA approved if it is already EU approved? Then boom cheaper drug prices for Americans and more expensive drug prices for the EU?

Again, most likely not the case but I really need some optimism at this point.

Now to get me to resubscribe, get rid of all that ridiculous TLC, Discovery channel bullhsit. I ain’t gonna subsidize that shit.

Disclaimer: If you want to explore window managers then go ham! Linux is all about exploration.

Now, If you think the grass might be greener on a different desktop manager then stick with gnome. By no means am I saying Gnome is the best, but its more of a situation where it will devolve into the quirks you know vs the quirks you don’t know situation.

Personal Antidote, I started with Gnome and used Gnome for years. Got curious and started jumping around I tried KDE, I3W, XFCE, Pure X, Etc. There were things I liked about each one of them but the quirks of each deviating from my expectations coming from gnome was too much and I ended up sticking with gnome.

That being said, out of necessity due to system constraints I run XFCE when I need a light weight DE. A close second in that realm is LXDE But I don’t like its default aesthetic nor do I feel like customizing it since I do most of my computing in a terminal.

Replace GNU/Linux with NixOS

Failed too efficient. Technically now a one sentence horror story. DQd until revised.
