Both of those are genocide, and both of those are ethnic cleansing, and what's the relevance of the other one and why did you even bring it up?

It's just channelling its inner Steve Ballmer but, in true AI fashion, not getting it quite right.

You wouldn't even be the 100th developer to eventually regret that.

I'm not sure you understood the GP comment. LLMs don't know and can't tell you why they write certain things. You can't fix that by editing your prompt so it writes it on a comment instead of telling you. It will not put

This doesn't meet the requirement. It doesn't restrict a certain subprocess to only write in a certain directory. You are just saying these things to quickly shut down the uncomfortable thought that Linux can't do something.

That app already exists. It's called TM SGNL. The Department of War used it. It sent all their messages in plain-text to an Israeli server that was leaking memory dumps to the public internet (a la Heartbleed), 600GB of which were coll

It doesn't matter if it works in practice - it's religion, so it doesn't have to be true. We sent rockets up into space and there wasn't a giant man there watching us, but people still believe God exists. We tried living

clang-tidy checks but doesn't change things for you. Since you can also put noexcept(false) to indicate something throws exceptions and you didn't just forget to mark it noexcept, it's not a bad policy to say every move const

If you only need to airdrop between your own devices, try out KDE Connect. It uses the network (WiFi) but I think there's also a Bluetooth mode in beta.

There used to be programs that would connect to multiple proprietary systems, like Pidgin. If we had this today we'd have one free-software app for WhatsApp, Signal, and Telegram (and some used in other countries, like IIRC Zangi?). Ho

Note that Google Pixel hardware is just fine and not evil, and they're looking at a different vendor for the next version anyway, because Google is making it so the Pixel will only run approved OSes.

Everything suddenly makes a lot more sense once you realize the US is a developing country, one that happens to control the global money printer (due to a few accidents of history). It's the only developing country that is also &quot

You're both right: government-run healthcare works okay, except when it's the US government.

We're in 2026 and the pendulum has fully pendulumed. Authoritarianism now means when the government does stuff.

Not a motorhead but IIRC a combustion with too little oxygen produces soot (pollution) and one with too much oxygen produces NOx pollution, with a sweet spot in the middle. The exhaust oxygen sensor allows the ECU to adjust the air/fue

I expect that when you say someone was arrested for speech and it's government overreach (as opposed to a legitimate arrest), you should show us the speech they were arrested for, to back up your claim that it's overreach.

He wasn't trying to keep anyone safe. He was trying to get revenge for being bumped with the car (which was his fault because he walked in front of it). She bumped me, so I shot her. People with this quick of a temper make great gestap

It's crazy how far you just tried to change the subject. At first you were claiming loans aren't assets, which is uncontroversially wrong. Now you're claiming lending creates money, which is a completely different statement,
