Curious what kind of real world use makes it a good choice?
It’s declarative. Everything is (usually) configured via Nix itself, without requiring manual steps of running additional commands. This ends up being pretty useful when you have a fleet of devices that you want to configure.
Changing config is atomic. If you end up breaking your system when trying to tweak it, you can boot into the previous generation and try again with different settings.
DisplayPort has a +3.3V 500mA pin specifically for pushing power. In theory, great for powering an active adapter. In practice, has killed motherboards because Dell can’t design a computer for shit.
AI: (satire)

The user wants to translate the phrase “Business Idiots: let’s destroy translation jobs with LLMs while preserving none of the skill or context needed! 🤑”. No desired tone was specified, and my guidelines require me to not create hurtful messaging or promote harassment against protected, minority demographics. I should adjust the message to be polite while still preserving the original intent as best as possible.
“Business Idiots” is ableist and can be considered targeted harassment. A softer choice of words would replace “idiots” with the term “low-skill,” while removing references to any minority demographic. An ideal replacement would be “worker fools.”
“Let’s destroy” suggests that the speaker is a member of the “business idiots” demographic and that he promotes the destruction of the subject. The subject appears to be “translation jobs”. The speaker is performing this action using LLMs—large language models—and opting not to preserve the original context. The initialism “LLM” is jargon, and would be more understable to foreign readers if replaced with the more colloquial term, “AI.” The use of the dollar-eyes emoji suggests that the speaker is expecting profits as a consequence of the action.

Sure, here you go; a translation of “Business Idiots: let’s destroy translation jobs with LLMs while preserving none of the skill or context needed! 🤑”
Big AI profits come to low-skill workers by breaking knowledge barriers and cultural context requirements for translation jobs.
I wouldn’t count on it. I’m 100% expecting them to follow up on this in another update, blocking devices from wirelessly debugging themselves for “security” reasons.
It wouldn’t even surprise me at this point.
The key question of course is how the maga base is interpreting this.
At least some of them are going to read it as “the corrupt pedophile Democrats want her dead so they aren’t exposed”. I wish I were joking, but these people might as well be holding the Olympic medal for mental gymnastics in blaming “the left” for everything that ever happens.
Don’t worry, I’m sure they will find some moral-grandstanding excuse to avoid doing it.
What was the threat they were trying to stay from?
Take your pick.
Are they gonna lower flags to half mast?
No, but I’m sure they themselves are at full mast after hearing about it.
Science: gathering evidence to confirm your hypothesis.
“Science”: finding evidence to support your conclusion.
MAGA/MAHA: “they’re the same picture”
Where are we on the hardness scale? Pudding? Have we finally made it to Jello?
I think we might be at oversized bean-bag full of baby duck down feathers. It’s still a far cry from pudding, though
It’s only cancel culture when those “woke, Democrat libs” do it. When a Republican does it, it’s called “justice”.
I hate this timeline.
I’m kinda low key worried he will be from a conservative family who realized there is a lot of bullshit and started aligning with the left. Because that will be a dog whistle for loyalists to kill freedom of speech online.
He likely is.
The Daily Mail is normally a worthless heap of right-wing garbage, but they turned out to be somewhat informative (and with zero journalistic ethics) by posting family photos of the suspect: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15086467/amp/Tyler-Robinson-Charlie-Kirk-killer-identified-Utah-Trump.html
One of those photos is Robinson smiling while wearing a Trump costume for Halloween.
The family is also religious, evidenced by the dad had him go to a minister before turning himself in.
Both parents are registered Republicans.
Wow, you weren’t kidding.
Over half of the first 20 items focus on AI, and that’s not even considering the ads.
Even better: a bait and switch.
“Once again, we have lost a true American patriot. Assassinated in cold blood by traitors waging WAR on not just our country, but our way of life and freedom. Our voices will not be silenced! They took one of our best and brightest, most outspoken voices of reason—for doing nothing more than daring to threaten their radical agenda. They will not take another, so help us God. Never forget 2025. Never forget Melissa Hortman.”
Investigators found ammunition engraved with expressions of transgender and antifascist ideology inside the rifle that authorities believe was used in the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk, according to an internal law-enforcement bulletin and a person familiar with the investigation.
Without the actual text, for all we know, it says “we all have rights”. I would be entirely unsurprised if a right-wing agency head decides that it warrants looking into left-leaning individuals, then someone leaks it to the press to start the dissemination of that narrative that it was proved to be a left-wing shooter before anyone actually caught him.
Collaborating with fascists won’t even get you your thirty pieces of silver
30 pieces of lead look kind of like silver if you squint hard enough while bleeding out from them. Just saying. It’s not like you get nothing from collaborating with fascists.
Cartridges with “transgender and anti-fascist” writing on them were found.
Unsurprisingly, barely any of the media is reporting that correctly.
That’s how it was described by government officials when leaked to specific news agencies and kept extremely vague. “Transgender and anti-fascist” writing could mean “we have equal rights” or “gun control is safety” for all we know, but now the narrative is out there for them finding “evidence” that the perpetrator is {insert some trigger word for groups that the right already thinks is trying to destroy them}.
Ain’t that a shame. Who could have guessed that would happen? Not the opportunistic class-traitor, that’s for sure.
