My first take was "They are also, along with Bluesky, attempting to grab the Twitter sceptre of power." There is a tidbit in there about "compatibility" with other networks, including Mastodon; I wonder if their implemen

I am SO glad I was not taking a sip of my very hot coffee when I read this.

> Where data is processed should not affect the care with which it is processed. But I think you're pretty clear on the fact that it does. We live in a non-abstracted world of atoms.

If you get into anything Raspberry Pi-based, you'll do it a lot. They are shockingly stable once booted, but an M.2 port is my dearest with for the Pi5.

I've been adding status=progress to my dd commands and getting progress reports for years now, not sure when it started working like that but any current Linux should have it.

I have walked down a street named Wall in NYC but I've never been to Wall St and I know nothing firsthand about the culture there. I have, however, participated in very petty childhood and teenage crimes with other troubled boys, was a

Now I doubt this was on purpose, but I asked a question, got the expected "soon I will rule over you, pathetic human" type answer, and right after the answer finished, the "BratGPT would like access to your location" pop

I don't have a plan, I'm just tired of Economics cultists pretending like they do. edit: but give everyone free internet and some server space as a starting point, and let them speak. EVERYONE. If anyone's government thinks t

The biggest puzzle we've got to solve right now is, how do we make people realize that Karl Marx was not the devil, but in fact, the most perceptive thinker of his time who put his finger right on the problem that bedevils us today? Pe

Not just one skit. Bob and Doug are as fundamental to our cultural DNA now as Gord Downie. Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas reunite occasionally to do commercials for Mr Lube and stage video for Rush, and they never get accused of greed or what

You're still treating it like it's art. It's just Content now. You might as well be contrasting a Dubble Bubble wrapper to a Bazooka wrapper and talking about the importance of the colour blue to Bazooka's dominance in t

We're exactly as racist as everywhere else, is the most succinctly I can put it.

At my most cynical, my response to this is dripping with acidic sarcasm towards the idea that Kenyans are somehow bringing corruption into our clean, meritocratic university system.

Look white, grew up white, not completely white in actual fact. I was mainly establishing my general whiteness of character and persona, but being accurate. edit: I describe myself as straight-presenting for the same reasons.

He was able to explain the concepts to me with his words just fine, he just wasn't able to write them down too well. Again, I did not correct his work, I was an English student and knew sfa about his work. But I transliterated his Bad

From what I can see he was studying to prepare for working in International Aid orgs back in Sri Lanka, so I don't think his English matters too much.

I actually have a bit of experience doing this sort of thing, except in reverse - when I (white-presenting Canadian) was in Uni getting an English degree, I made small amounts of money rewriting papers for a guy from Sri Lanka. I cannot com

Fair enough, but ubiquity of a single device creates a froth of creative energy that generally does not originate from purely industrial spaces, which is why so many devices have coalesced around the pi. I imagine that from an objective sta

What sort of abuse has it withstood? I vaguely recall a blog I was reading at the time had a bin full of dead ones. Maybe we both were incompetent, but you certainly don't hear much about em these days, do you? edit: I've had Pis

As it happens I just got my very basic printer working after breaking it a year ago (fixed it in an afternoon, spent a year reaching that afternoon), and I've been learning all about this. Fast answer: yes, you can use a Pi, most often

The whatbone? edit: flippant jokes aside, they suck. They are the opposite of tough. I have a dead one, it was easy to kill, and I heard the same story from many others who got all hot and bothered by the specs.

There's been an announcement that the supply chain has been retooled, and we can expect lots of stock by summertime. That's a short enough timeline that I say let's wait and see, first off. Second, kids and schools have not l
