"VP of AI software loves AI slop built dotfiles by a man that would in any other situation demand he leave his country"

A. VP means...jack all in the corporate world and B. I'd wait a little bit before slinging the pitchforks at AMD.

In reality this just proves a point I made last week on mastodon. Users are soon just going to have to make exceptions for what they are willing to use because of this AI crap. it's everywhere now, it's in everything, and pretty much everything we use is slop coded in some form or another. You're now just going to have to decide on what levels of AI bullshit you're willing to accept in your daily computing.

Or we just all start using TempleOS on machines from 20+ years ago.

Shatner was recently on Jonathan Frakes and Brent Spiners podcast and he still looked the same as he did like 20 years ago and still sharp as a tack. I think what help keeps his mind sharp is he stays up to date on stuff. Like he was quite knowledgeable about AI for example. for being 95 he acts like he's in his late 60s.

because it is. it might be from the old early 00s web series "Space Battles"

Those were great. Guy just made a series of movies with Star Trek, Star Wars, and Babylon 5 ships fighting each other. Like for example there was a series where The Federation, the Rebel Alliance, and The Alliance/Rangers teamed up against The Empire and the Shadows. Or there was one series where the Federation went against The Alliance in B5 (which is what this might be from)

I wouldn't worry too much about the Toronto cops. They're too busy committing crimes themselves or sleeping in parking lots to do anything about this.

one of the many things I hate about getting older is childhood heroes start leaving. This past year alone it felt like I've lost them all.

yeah mine ends the end of this week and I won't be renewing. I have my own domain with a couple email accounts attached and I'm thinking of switching to Purelymail. as far as VPN goes? leaning towards IVPN.

edit: nvm found out Purelymail is US based, went with mailbox.org instead. very easy setup process and everything is already configured.

ugh that's totally me. I've literally tried everything, even all the BSDs, and there are many that I like.

I don't know I just find it fun to install a linux distro or BSD and set it up, see what will work, what doesn't, etc.

The beauty of it is now I can install anything with ease and i'm familiar with pretty much every package manager out there. Favourite install: Gentoo. Least favourite: Slackware.

what I changed more were DEs and WMs. I could never find the right one that I absolutely loved for years. Finally I just ended up building my own and put in all the stuff I wanted.

it can be. if you're looking for something for browsing, watching video/listening to music, wee bit of coding/writing it works well. it has a few applications that the BSDs don't. I like the floorp web browser and none of the BSDs have that packaged, Haiku does.

it's VERY easy to install, VERY quick to install.

"this will be a wake up call for the NDP"

Dear reader if I had a nickle for every "NDP Wake up call" I could buy a months worth of double doubles from tims.

No, it won't be a wake up call. it's hard to wake a corpse. the worst thing that happened to that party was the death of Jack Layton and they've never been able to recover from it. There's zero leadership. and the best bet is Layton's partner, Olivia Chow, who herself is barely scraping by in the polls for her Mayoral re-election in Toronto.

Don't get me wrong I want the NDP to do well, I want them to win, I just wish they could sort their shit out and have a strong intelligent leader.

meanwhile in america...

I love how their fans are all pro-genocide, pro-racism, pro-bigotry but cheating? nah cheating is where they draw the line.

good riddance. h3h3 was absolutely horrible. and I really hope all the people he's sued or sent his fans on are having a fantastic friday.

eh I'm happy to just let it go. Bioware hadn't made a good game since 2014. every release after Inquisition was awful. Sure we can look at a pre-rendered video and think "oh man, sucks I won't be able to play it" but lets be real here...the chances of it even being good with their recent track record? i'm doubtful.
