Everyone will be hit hard by climate change. I do t see why it should be less in eg the Americas - where you already have pretty volatile climate events

We are so cooked. We spend more time trying to suss out if something was written by AI than actually reading the article. So many legitimate ways of writing are now “ai” style. I used to use emdash a lot, but now I deliberately avoid it be

I link to a lot of stuff on my personal website and every month i check the links. About a dozen or so are dead every month, many on YouTube too. I now adopted the practice of recovering the texts I deem worthy from way back machine and do

It does make sense if the vuln doesn’t fit in your threat model. There are always an uncountable number of vulnerabilities and you can never fix all that are found. No idea of course if the threat model that said boss had in mind made sense

Looking at what happened in Iran and how unpredictable the US is recently it would almost be stupid to not be scared.

Idk the actions the US takes in the Caribbean are the threat and Reuters is reporting on those actions? It would be weirder imo if they didn’t write about it and afaict they are just looking at publicly available OS data.

I love that and it does make sense to me, thanks for sharing. Dogma is what you follow blindly and don’t question, whereas ideology while still rigid you can examine and shape according to your own personal values.

Ever heard of TempleOS? It’s the only OS endorsed by God.

Definitely. In a way ideology is what shapes our reality so you can never be fully free of it. It’s like saying “I’m not political”, it’s also a political statement/stance. Personally I came up with my own flavour of practical Taoism a

Ideology belongs in the trash. But yea you can pick and choose parts of some ideologies as they are useful in the moment.

I hope you succeed. But I think it’s all down to luck; of course some work is required but I don’t think that hard work necessarily matters. Or any of the stuff you mentioned. In my experience you can do all the “mistakes” you mentioned and

I still use my thinkpad from 2012. It runs fine with Linux on it, i had to replace the hdd and some other parts but otherwise it’s holding up. Granted I only do very simple stuff on it, no dev work, video or gaming. Mostly browser, reading,

You are right, it’s an international problem. But from my experience few nations are so dependent on the car as the US. It so very similar in Germany where I’m from but mostly because it’s such an important part of the economy. But in a bi

It’s intentional though see above comment by throw0101c. I agree that it’s a hard pill to swallow especially if you are US American.

It’s the same language used when taking about “car accidents” They aren’t accidents, it’s an inherent part of how we designed cars and roads and we decided as society that we are ok with thousands of people killed by cars.

It is just as obviously late stage capitalism - as everyone is busy working 10-12 hours just to survive you have zero time left for costly and hard in-person interactions.

For me the problem is that everyone is way too busy working all the time to be able to do this. So I think it’s not about “internet bad” but more about how much harder it is to make ends meet / how much more intense capitalism has beco

It’s a clever post but people that use so to write personal blogposts ain’t gonna read this and change their mind. Only people who already hate using llms are gonna cheer you on. But this kind of content is great for engagement farming on H

I disagree. You can use it to point out grammar mistakes and then fix them yourself without changing the meaning or tone of the subject.

I get where you’re coming from. Although if the project is so toxic and horrible to interact with - wouldn’t people look for a more wholesome project? I don’t agree that the toxic project would stifle growth for other less toxic projects so

Tbh if you are sufficiently famous or have a bunch of pictures of you available online you don’t need to opt-in. So this is silly yes but people can still easily make deepfake porn of you from any photo available with other oss tools

You can do it the first couple thousand times. After that it just becomes harder and harder to be sociable. Would you still be so nice after doing it the ten thousandth time?
