I’m just a nerd girl.
“The new Windows Terminal is so slick! And PowerShell is soooo awesome! When will Linux get cool neat powerful stuff like this?”
“Uh… About three decades ago?”
(To be honest, PowerShell is neat. But it’s also cross platform, so if I really want it on Linux I guess I can get it there too? I don’t really need to, I’m in middle of rewriting some PowerShell stuff in Python)
Two points. I’ve never paid for anything by cheque (we have had bank transfers in Finland for ages) and Blockbuster didn’t operate here (we had our local video rental chains, and the convenience store chain that I used to go to is still in business, just, you know, not having movies for rent any more)
Technically yes, but in favourable condition the film can persist for pretty long time. People have developed films that had been sitting in a camera/cartridge for literally a century and gotten decent results.
Ohhh, I’d be happy to pay a huge chunk of income to a lord. Because they at least maintain infrastructure and such. Nowadays, however, we have random self appointed robber barons, who see a whole bunch of income that is supposed to go to the workers and say “nah, I’ll take whatever I can get away with”. …maybe shit needs fixing.
They literally have vast amounts of super advanced bio-machines capable of turning CO2 and water and nutrients into sustainable building materials, and they mismanage them? For shame!!!
“Hi, I’m an ultra boring nerd girl. I’m on several Fediverse platforms. …No, I don’t know Nicole. Please don’t follow me. No seriously please don’t.”
I’m not very good at socialising, sorry
Turtles are great computer science animals. They do graphics, and have shell access.
Wikipedia has plenty of this stuff. Great photos and diagrams to illustrate important concepts.
For example, when discussing Turtles, you need the perfect photo to discuss the Turtle Mode.
So basically Elon saw one of the biggest technology cock-ups of the Obama administration (Obamacare website that used fancy new trendy buzzwordy tech, and promptly melted to slag when exposed to actual production loads) and said “you know, we need to do a cock-up in even bigger scale”. Republicans wanted a colossal technology cock-up and they hired just the right man for it.
Maintaining paper notebooks and almanacs and a giant crazy-wall of Post-Its is very fruitful and calming.
That’s not how making babies works. That’s not how any of this works!
Ah, Julius Streicher. I barely had heard of him when I read about the Nuremberg trials. Dude was a propagandist. And they hanged him. He was literally edgelording until his last breath.
At first I was like “well, the other guys they hanged literally oversaw genocide, but this guy was a propagandist. Kinda harsh punishment for a propagandist. Wonder why?”
But now that I’ve watched the online hate pipeline run it’s course for a while and do its thing, I kinda get it.
I’m advocating harsh bans for the birdsite royalty, and if they don’t volunteer for that, maybe they should be put somewhere where they can be monitored to not propagandise. Not advocating for death penalty, it’s categorically wrong.

No, the 1990s didn’t smell of sex and candy. It smelled of a banking crisis and a box of 3.5" floppies.
I’m an artist / writer and I don’t see problem with generative AI when you’re at a really early concept stage. Exploring ideas, try to get over creative blocks, that sort of stuff. Maybe the AI hallucinations and fuckups can give you ideas worth exploring.
But using them as a literal basis for artwork you work further on is a fool’s errand. It’s easier to maybe take ideas from there, but work from scratch anyway. And I do realise that even that is controversial.
Also, could be a legal quagmire. Also not happy about the copyright appropriation situation or the environmental impact.
