It’s never too soon, really.

Yes. These might become my last words.

Which is bad, since I’m sure I’ll just keep repeating them every few hours, just in case.

It’s also a thinly veiled attempt to land at tax other than 100%, and overseen by courts that we suspect he has influence over.

I like the confidence. I imagine things could still go that well for him. Everyone should get a chance to dream of nice things.

For someone who has taken so much from the rest of us, a mere tax could be a pretty nice outcome.

Top hacking scene of all time!

Yeah. I just mention it because I’ve generally just used VNC myself; and wondered what the fuss with fancier tools was about.

But then I realized home Internet has getting worse for some folks, and so folks might be using a service to get VPN-ed together, or whatever.

I’m also a big VNC fan, but I imagine RustDesk is solving for CGNAT better? I’m not aware of anything in VNC that solves CGNAT being a PITA.

Yikes! You can’t just tell people about the

Yes. And the awkward social situation is when they ask what I’m wearing, but I didn’t pay any attention to the brand of the urinal mat.

I don’t want that to happen again, so now I’m careful to take note of the urinal mat branding.

Why reference the imperfect copies gen AI makes when you have databases of the real original artists and pictures and 3d scans of real things in the world out there to reference.

I think it is because one of these approaches requires skill and time, the other requires a ChatGPT subscription and George Jetson to push one idiotic button.

It makes people feel that they can contribute in fields where they were previously (and still are) useless.

Pandora’s box is open and will never close again.

Yes…but this Pandora’s box just had a fart in it.

We know we can’t put the fart back in the box.

We just want people to stop acting like it is about to revolutionize modern cinema.

All it is going to do is clear the room.

That was a surprisingly good sequel.

A woman once told me she worked in a club and when one of the regulars passed away, a bunch of them went to his funeral.

Respect. There’s certainly worse legacies one could leave, than having spread some wealth around while presumably having been respectful enough to be missed.

There’s a delightful DC Comics Elseworlds story that amounts to this. It was fun.

I tolerate continued existence out of a morbid sense of curiosity.

That’s beautiful, in it’s own way.

I felt that way at one point. It led me, eventually, to moments that I later decided mattered very much, to me.

If I hadn’t had that morbid curiosity, I’m not sure I would have made it to those moments I now cherish.

Here’s to morbid curiosity!

Eh, you can post, but people might just ignore it. So you’re screaming into the void for the most part.

I love this analogy, and I need to expand on it.

Lemmy is like taking a pleasant walk, with mostly chill fellow hikers, through a nature preserve, and then taking turns shouting into an empty canyon.

Sometimes a nice and/or informative discussion follows during the hike back to the lodge for some hot cocoa.

Why can’t you just use a butterfly to manipulate bits like a normal adult?

Sadly, I never learned, and C-x M-c M-butterfly, feels like cheating.

Debian and nano?

I think you might thave invented the Linux version of “straight edge”.

I choose to believe you also have no community package sources enabled, and use only the included Debian themed default desktop backgrounds.

Is openSUSE and Neovim ok?

Excellent choice. You’re going places!

We accept everyone here*

Hmm. That matches my recent napkin math guessing where they would land.

It’s a little short of what they probably need, but they can always raise prices in a few months.
