Well - spy agents. Not surprising. But people could have suspected this before surrendering to AI skynet.

A black hole stands still? Would that not defy gravity? I mean a black hole also loses energy, right? So I would not expect it to be completely still. After all if you lose energy, you may also lose mass and shape and size - E = mc².

I remember that too. Initially they tried to go the "Iran caused this". Then the analysis quickly showed that it were US weapons. Suddenly the "Iran caused this" narrative disappeared. There are professional liars in med

Trump claimed it was an accident. Then again he seems to be similar to Putin: both lie almost all of the time. Edit: Actually, others pointed out that at first the narrative was that Iran did it. That's indeed true that the media used

GPS spies on everyone. Flock cameras too. Meta-spy glasses continue that trend. Now officials tell the public "we used old maps" when bombing a school with kids. That's a deliberate lie. It wastes our time to even want to len

How about not bombing other countries and then acting surprised when retaliation happens? I mean clearly the problem isn't AWS as such - it is the problem that someone leading a country is totally clueless about the world. Only persona

Well - the "let me google that for you" nowadays barely works, because google ruined the search engine. The search engine sucks now - and by default the first results are AI slop summaries that are IMO worthless.

Folks, AI skynet is currently winning the war. LLMs have taken over so many projects already. If I were young, would I want to contribute to projects maintained these days via AI slop? I would not find that interesting at all.

The US government acts here in favour of a monopoly market. Trump violates free market principles; quite interesting how Trump works against core capitalistic means, in favour of personal corruption.

Why do people still want to make Google more powerful? I don't get it. Legislation must allow for break up of monopolies such as google play.

That makes no sense to me though. I always prefer physical books to any ereader, but I still stopped accumulating (new) books in my flat - they just accumulate space. I'll always love hardcopy books, but not needing them as a physical

That advice makes no sense. In fact - many old huge books are epic. I remember in the early 1990s we had a huge book about history. It detailed each year with the most important events. I loved reading in it. Even today I like it. Unfortuna

It is possible to do it over a few days really, even with not too much knowledge. Requiring four months seems as if it was a side project, which is of course totally fine, but for any main task it really should not take more than a few days

Except that if you fail to install the bootloader - which happened to me many times - then you do not have a working system. So really the prior argument makes sense. IMO the guy is right - LFS could be way better. But it has this current s

None of that requires LFS; I compiled KDE via scripts many years ago. Why would LFS be needed for that? That makes no sense. Debian being slow is their problem, other distributions aren't snail-like like that. The default compiler used

LFS is great. Unfortunately nowadays I often fail to compile it; most recently with GCC complaining and failing at options.cc. But I also get more issues here. I kind of need a LFS variant that is more flexible. For instance, the part up to

Or MS could have used AI to find all these issues months ago already. But obviously they did not, which is strange. These big corporations promote AI but then don't use it to improve their own software code base systematically.
