My first thought, as a network engineer, is that I already have access to pretty much every feature of this tool from the CLI. You ask if I would give that up for this app, and the answer is "not unless you integrate all the other CLI

I'm just going to go ahead and say that "free love" is a terribly inappropriate way to refer to sex trafficking, regardless of the age of the victims, unless you're being facetious (e.g., The Onion's "Penis Goo

Look at how many layers of insulation are needed for the JWST to have a hot and cold side! Again, this is not particularly simple stuff. The JWST operates at 2kw max. That's not enough for a single H200. AI datacenters in space are a n

I am with you 100%. It was easy to support SpaceX, despite the racist/sexist/authoritarian views of its owner, because he kept that nonsense out of the conversation. X is not the same. Elon is actively spewing his ultraconservativ

This means that Grok, Elon's politically labotomized involuntary pornography generator, and X (formerly Twitter), Elon's Nazi-adjacent propaganda machine, are now completely intertwined with SpaceX, a too-big-to-fail government co

Oh good, orbital rockets and simulated child porn under the same roof. I hate this timeline.

Is this an actual question? Because it seems kinda obvious that one person can have a majority stake in two companies without those companies being the same company. The better question is whether or not this merger makes any sense.

1. This is not a likely effect of LLM adoption. 2. Linux is already to the point of giving you about as many esoteric errors as Windows or macOS will. People don't switch either because they are comfortable where they are and don'

Just a reminder that we're dealing with propagandists here. As many have already stated, Signal is overwhelmingly secure. More secure than any other alternative with similar viability here. If the feds were actually concerned about tha

For real, if you're legitimately worried about your officers being legally entrapped, you've got some really untrustworthy officers.

This is what I don't understand about American authoritarians. Historically speaking, if you try to take away the liberty of Americans, they respond with lethal violence. Britain tried to tax Americans without government representation

Just a heads up that only the Amazon Go stores did the "just walk out" shopping thing. Amazon Fresh stores were pretty much just regular grocery stores. They had shopping carts with the self-checkout built in, but that was the ext

For a while, they had two stackable 10-off-40 coupons, and a 2-off-10 coupon, and it activated $36, so you could buy $36 worth of groceries for $14.

Linux is so much better than it used to be. You really don't need to be technical. I have been recommending Kubuntu to Windows people. I find it's an easier bet than Linux Mint. You get the stability of Ubuntu, plus the guarantee

It is startling to me how much we disregard water scarcity. It seems like there's a persistent attitude that because we haven't run out of water to a dangerous degree before, it will never happen, even as the numbers suggest we ar

On Android, you can download replacement launchers in the form of an App. That app replaces your default launcher. In this case, KISS is the app drawer, because it is the default UI of your phone once installed and configured. It's a r

In the USA, the loneliness epidemic is compounded by isolation. A large portion of our society has moved into suburban communities that are largely impersonal. There is very little in the way of in-person community outside of churches or po

The people who really want to stop paying for streaming are going to turn to piracy, don't worry. Physical media will still be accessible for people who are willing to pay with space instead of money.
