On Lemmy and Reddit? See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar-a-Lago_face

“Excessive” obvious cosmetic surgery became a status symbol, and then it got politicized.

Not gonna lie. When I need a wank, I need a wank.

But “professional” porn (like pornhub largely hosts) always felt gross to me.

I suppose not. Not yet.

I know people are particular about WMs, but having to minimize a window vs keeping the window decoration in place seems like a… very minor distinction.

Is the use case rearranging a ton of windows? Something like that?

Interested. Also a little interested in the MC server, per your website.

Never played Starbound; how many players are typically on a server concurrently? Or at least y’alls server?

Sometimes. As a tool, not an outsourced human, oracle, or some transcendent companion con artists like Altman are trying to sell.

See how grounded this interview is, from a company with a model trained on peanuts compared to ChatGPT, and that takes even less to run:

…In 2025, with the launch of Manus and Claude Code, we realized that coding and agentic functions are more useful. They contribute more economically and significantly improve people’s efficiency. We are no longer putting simple chat at the top of our priorities. Instead, we are exploring more on the coding side and the agent side. We observe the trend and do many experiments on it.

They talk about how the next release will be very small/lightweight, and more task focused. How important gaining efficiency through architecture (not scaling up) is now. They even touch on how their own models are starting to be useful utilities in their workflows, and specifically not miraculous worker replacements.

Oops, thanks.

Apparently, this is hardly hyperbole. For example: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=377162

Talk about arrogance. In the window paradigm, only a few desktops ever REQUIRED a similar look and feel for all windows. Apple was the worst offender for that. I suggest that if Edmundson wants a similar look and feel, he should go get himself a Mac and stop mucking up KDE.

From a quick look at the proposed patch - and obviously without having the full picture - it’s true that it would add some complexity. But it’s code for the sake of people’s convenience, not the other way around, right? IMHO, as long as:

• shading is off by default,
• users get a clear message about limitations and SSD/CSD complications before enabling it,
• the implementation doesn’t introduce impossible-to-maintain logic and limits some weird edge cases like resizing a shaded window, then it’s worth doing.

TBH this is one reason I got off Ubuntu/KDE Neon.

It kept trying to roll Nvidia+KDE fixes forward (including one I dealt with in their bug tracker), which I had to manually figure out and maintain, which I kept breaking, so I finally decided “why don’t I just use a distro where everything Nvidia/KDE is up to date?”

It’s a very Linux thing.

People get very particular about their setups.

The KDE bug tracker now:

I don’t even know what window shading is…. What is it?

It looks like it’s still being discussed:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=377162

Heh, so does mine.

All our parents’ book hoarding may end up saving us. And the internet, if they become the new standard?

You joke, but that’s horrifying.

This is already an SEO technique, apparently, and I could see Amazon book sellers finding a way to fudge it: https://yoast.com/help/date-appears-search-results/

100%.

But I was pondering more what the general population might do. People are going to figure out slop recipes don’t work, but the question is what’s the next most accessible thing to replace it with?

Just psychological failings, self-confidence issues and such I know are wrong. Firmly held, but wrong.

…Otherwise it feels like an oxymoron.

…So are we going back to print cookbooks? Published before 2024?

Honestly, that feels like the practical solution.

Plantains are a fickle plant. Ripeness is a huge factor, and that aside, some are just fibery/less sweet and don’t cook as fast.

In theory, Google should fight all attempts at SEO.

But they infamously stopped doing that to bump some quarterly result (as sifting through them generates more clicks), and here we are.

It’s mind boggling that Google is letting this happen.

Even if I pretend to be a stone cold Google accountant, and look at this… YouTube is a gigantic golden goose. It’s strategic, it’s a cultural lynchpin. And they’re going to let it wither just to boost next quarter and avoid saying “AI is a problem here”?
