For real though, containerization isn’t the only way to separate applications from each other but totally fine, it’s the “It works on my machine, so here’s my machine” mentality that doesn’t fill me with confidence. I’ve seen too much barely-working jank in containers that probably only get updated when a new version of the containerized application itself is released.

So it’s like RMS and PMP for speakers. 600 W¹

¹ Briefly, before it blows up

It’s never too late, especially if you can combine the two!

please don’t let them fuck this up.

Totally unrelated question: Which chaos god feeds on disappointment? Tzeentch? Malice?

Not quite, but in “Author, Author” a bunch of repurposed EMH Mark 1 are seen mining dilithium back home while obviously not being very happy about it.

Android slaves in Picard conflicts with TNG canon.

I blame Voyager.

a circular plug that has to be plugged in one direction

Two directions since it’s reversible, unlike Type G. Also the guides on the left and right help a lot with alignment. But none of these are perfect, really. If Type L was recessed and had shorter prongs then maybe…

Or just standardize USB-AC.

Don’t forget to add a little bit of post-atomic horror!

Is it fair to say that any game that runs on the Steam runs on Steam Linux?

No, it’s not that far along. A lot works, but if there’s invasive DRM or anticheat then it probably won’t. If you have specific games you want to play in mind check out https://www.protondb.com/

I know the variations have gotten better over the years but haven’t done too much research into it.

If you’re curious you can just create a live USB stick to test drive it. Won’t work well for gaming though.

I could see them not letting you directly search anymore, only through the LLM bot. Because that’s been how things have been going anyway, Google seems to fully ignore literal searches with quote marks now, presumably because it doesn’t fit their vision of using natural (imprecise) language. So why not make the LLM write the search query for you in a completely opaque way?

I definitely have.

Papa Nurgle moment

I had a Jolla smart phone, it was pretty great but it also quickly became apparent that the company had no real intention to make Sailfish the Android-compatible, open and privacy-friendly OS I was hoping it’d be. Selling licenses to customers to put the OS on third party hardware really killed it for me.

Kinda surprised they are still around, but I guess knowing the right magical words to whisper to investors is a good enough business strategy. They’ve done it with blockchain, now it’s AI.

Windows NP(OAFY)

I wonder if they will call the next versions 12 and especially 13. Alternative names:

• Windows AI (because all those new features are so transformative)
• Windows Azure Blue, Red and Yellow (Home and Pro, neither allowing local accounts, also Enterprise where non-hybrid AD still kinda works)
• Windows Edge 20XX (everything has to use cloud computing terms!)
• Windows. Just Windows. (four years later: Windows 2 announced!)

It’s possible he was capturing his entire screen instead of just some window, then forgot to turn off whatever software he uses. It’s definitely possible.

Don’t hold your breath, 10 already broke the pattern IMO and all I hear about 12 is that they will cram “AI” into everything. Windows the operating system is dead, replaced by Windows the sales platform.

I like tar xaf (eXtract All Files) better.

Es kotzt mich so an wenn ich so etwas vom örtlichen ÖR lese:

Hoch “Uwe” beschert weiter sommmerliche Tenmperaturen. Sollte Bremen die 27-Grad-Marke knacken, wäre das ein neuer Wärmerekord für das laufende Jahr. Die Wetterlage macht richtig Lust auf Eis und Freibad. Und zumindest bei den Temperaturen sieht es für die kommenden Tage richtig gut aus. Sie bleiben bei mehr als 20 Grad, auch über das Wochenende hinaus.

Ja, soooo toll, können wir bitte die Erwähnung von Eis und Freibad in Wetterberichten verbieten? Die meisten Leute können nicht einfach den ganzen Tag faul im Wasser herumdümpeln. Und ja, “sommmerliche Tenmperaturen” steht da wirklich.

Weniger gut sieht es allerdings beim Thema Sonne und Regen aus. Die Sonne bleibt uns zwar die kommenden Tage weitgehend erhalten, aber wir müssen mit einigen Eintrübungen rechnen.

Ab morgen Nachmittag drohen vereinzelt Schauer und Gewitter, heißt es vom ARD-Wetterkompetenzzentrum. Dazu kommen auch immer wieder Wolken und ein bisschen Wind. Wer also am Wochenende draußen unterwegs sein möchte oder eine Grill-Party plant, für den lohnt sich ein regelmäßiger Blick aufs Wetterradar.

Oh nein, es könnte abkühlen, wie furchtbar. Wie bescheuert sind die eigentlich? Müssen die nicht arbeiten? Sind das Roboter?

Making the question so inflammatory is a double edged sword, you reach a larger audience, but you’re way more likely to drive people from your cause.

It is so inflammatory that it reads as intentional trolling to me. Same energy as “Islam is right about women”. The question wasn’t proposed to generate any sort of insight, it’s just to stoke the flames.
