I looked around me and saw blocks, floating in the sky. A turtle was at my feet, staring blankly as it approached without hesitation. Mushrooms were walking around like people; I had to jump over them or I knew I would come to harm. I found I could flatten them if I landed on top in the right spot. I knew there was a princess I was trying to save, but she was in another castle.
Pay up, Nintendo!
“Stock market surges on news…”
“Stock market tumbles due to…”
“The Dow is over 9,000”
It doesn’t matter when it’s up. It doesn’t matter when it’s down. Imagine if media started reporting on the wellbeing of actual individuals instead of the fake money wheel.
The stock market will continue to have very little bearing on the lives of average citizens. Tariffs killing small businesses? Let’s see those stories.
It’s like $120 billion right? 350 million folks in America, so if my math is right I should get… $300-something bucks!
Maybe I’ll invest it in some new food.

This. AI is not and will not be profitable. It’s afloat because of an investor circlejerk. Once they get off then it’s over. A waiting game.

Ain’t no time like the present to stop pretending damage isn’t already being done constantly. Time for the mooch class to pay their share.
A great actor.
One of his best lines IMHO was in Apocalypse Now as Kilgore:
“Someday, this war is going to end.”
And you wait for the punchline, until you realize he is actively enjoying the fighting, and the war ending is a bad thing. A shockingly good portrayal of a one-man military industrial complex.
Musk is a hype man and a con man. Nothing more. A stupid man’s idea of what a smart man looks and acts like.
The failed promises have not been surprising for a long time. What is surprising is how much money people still throw at the man.
Absoutely. It takes like 5 seconds to get a real photo.
But I have considerable downvotes on my original comment. Maybe bots. Maybe AI bros who need to see the light and that their tech is based on the death of IP law.
Exactly, makes no sense to me
Really cool article. Except this bit:
The image of Saturn was generated with ChatGPT.
Fucking why? Could have saved time and energy with traditional search. Leave the slop out, please.
A bigger issue is that the Steam Deck touchpads don’t work without Steam being open
This is interesting, because the touchpads on the Steam Controller do work without Steam being open, at least on Linux, though without cursor acceleration. I wonder why the touchpads on the Deck were handled differently.
Not true about Proton. It’s Steam DRM that requires Steam running in the bg, same as on Windows.
Definitely makes a lot of sense to use a VM for it. Though there is something fun about having a spare laptop and just playing on bare metal.
It’s just more barebones than lots of other options, and distro hopping tends to be about exploration. There isn’t a whole lot to explore on Debian, because its purpose is stability and simplicity.
You find tons of Debian-derived distros exactly for this reason. They build on that stable core but add bells and whistles. Distros usually are defined by which bells and whistles they include by default.
I’m running Mint currently
I’m wondering if there is a lot of benefit to going more barebones
Not really. On the scale at which homelabs operate, I doubt you’ll see any difference at all – except what might be the significant time sink to set everything up again.
I’m not having any issues with my current setup
I’d put this firmly in the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” category. Mint is already a distro which is ultimately a Debian derivative. It operates more like Debian as opposed to, say, Fedora or Arch. While it can be enticing to explore the many options of Linux, the benefit isn’t clear here.
Now, distro hopping on a nonproduction system? Something where you don’t care what’s on it and you just want to experiment? That’s one of the best parts of being a Linux user. But at least do that first before even approaching breaking something that isn’t broken.
It sounds more like you want to have fun distro hopping, and believe me: I can tell you from experience that distro hopping isn’t fun if you have to rely on that machine.
That would be reported.
Friends don’t let friends be root.
Just to clarify: the “much smoother” is subjective and might be an oversimplification, but the “not using Gnome” part is correct.
Personally I don’t use any Gnome extensions and have much preferred Cosmic to the old Pop Shell. YMMV.
Linux user here. What’s a friend?
That was a landmark case for Hollywood and changed how things are handled with regards to an actor’s likeness being used in films to which they are not attached. AFAIK, Glover got something in compensation, but it was a settlement out of court (= not public record).
