I’m going to guess they’re companies without software expertise in house, so nobody to review the code anyway.

If companies continue hiring people like this, it’s only a matter of time before the exploits roll out.

Wow! I still have my Dragon Dice in a box somewhere. A few of my friends had it and we played about 4 games before we got bored. Still something nostalgic about it for me though.

I also agree about Tsuro. Great fun!

I tried this one and Wezterm, but I just couldn’t get past how much vram they use, when vram is still at a premium. Konsole works really well for me anyway, so I guess I don’t see the appeal.

Though, I do like Wezterm’s lua config.

Its because of all the people saying that LLMs can reason and think and the human brain works just like an LLM and… some other ridiculous claim.

This shows some limitations on LLMs.

Same! This is really unfortunate.

And he’ll just come back as a BT to ominously hover over the team.

Magit is incredible! It’s a thin layer over git commands but with a nice discoverable UI. Even if I’m using a different tool to write the code I’ll still use Magit for the repo.

What do you use instead?

They just keep innovating! Amazing!!!

I think ignorance (in the non pejorative sense) plays a big part. I can’t really blame my non technical friends for not fully understanding that ditching Facebook for Instagram doesn’t help. Even if they know it’s the same company, it’s still a totally different product, right? There’s also a certain apathy or need to just get something done.

I’m sure I’ve purchased things at Home Depot that would make a plumber cringe, but I know nothing about that sort of thing and I just need to get my sink working.

Still, I think those of us who do know should continue to lead by example. My friends know my stance on these things and some of them are coming around.

Same.

I use Bortmatic to manage my repos and I pay a little bit to BorgBase for offsite backup of my important stuff.

That video!! Yeah, I don’t believe it either. Sort of reminds me of doing Kung Fu as a kid. We’d do public demonstrations and would sometimes ham it up a bit for the audience. I wonder if that’s what’s going on.

Have you practiced push hands? There’s a neat effect I can only describe as sort of being able to bounce off the other person. You can get some decent air with it! I also wonder if there’s a bit of that going on with a lot of exaggeration.

I agree with you about the “weird stuff”. I teach Tai Chi and I’m very careful about the words I use, especially when it comes to describing mechanical forces. I’ll often mention that I don’t mean some notion of “life force” but rather the physical Newtonian force that your body is subject to while performing the movements.

I find Tai Chi to be deceptively complicated with deep physical and psychological components. I have a hard time articulating what it is to others since it’s not really a martial art, and it’s not really meditation, and it’s not just a bunch of movements or calisthenics. But it does have very real effects and I love it!

It sounds like your experience is quite similar to mine and I’m happy you found a good teacher and are enjoying the practice! 😀

The software will likely work, but keep in mind that you’ll have to add VM startup time when you want to use the software. I have occasionally seen software behave strangely in a VM as well, so best to just try it.

Can you share the software you went to use? Maybe there’s a good Linux alternative or someone knows how to get it working in wine.

Is this the one using the open source kernel module?

Smith is quoted here as saying:

“Have you not looked at the headlines about how Pierre Poilievre is described as dangerous?” the premier said. “How the leader of the Opposition in Alberta has described me as dangerous? When you start using that kind of rhetoric, that ends up creating an elevated risk for all of us.”

She’s complaining about being called “dangerous”. That’s hardly violent rhetoric and certainly no worse than the language they use to describe their opponents.

Sure, there are some individuals on the internet spreading violence, but you cannot equate the non-conservative media rhetoric with the violent and dishonest rhetoric coming out of conservative sources.

Wow! This is the first I heard of this so I looked it up.

According to this article it looks like you need a particular build thats not in the nightly mainline, and its very experimental.

Still, its exciting to see them work on this! I use Tree Style Tabs with custom userchrome.css, but it is a bit fragile. Native vertical tabs would be great!

It doesn’t really bother me, but like you I am bored of it and I generally ignore it, or block communities if I’m seeing too much of it.

It is really cool that the models can generate fairly detailed images, but they’re all so similar and… boring. I once saw someone describe it like corporate art. It just tries to imitate something popular in a very mediocre way. You can keep re-training it, but it can still only imitate.

Still, if people are into it then that’s ok too. I have used it at work on occasion to create stupid little icons for internal tools I’ve built, so I guess there’s some little bit of utility.

My guess is that it’ll be used for a while for cheap and low effort branding, but soon companies will want to hire real artists again to differentiate themselves from the ML spam.

I use EndeavourOS with KDE and it’s wonderful!

Does anyone know offhand the issues Calamares has with Xfce?
