How much do you think it would take to get the Pentagon to sue LLM companies for bad intelligence? With as much as this administration refuses to take blame for anything, if they’d just scapegoat the AI companies and sacrifice them on the altar of Trump’s ego, we could at least get a small win out of this whole mess.
Good to know they’ve seperated his ashes so he can’t regenerate.
Considering the Reddit posts they also dug up from his past that he was forced to distance himself from (the first “controversy” his campaign had to deal with), I don’t think there’s any chance he’s secretly a Nazi.
Starting finasteride to help prevent hair loss helped me a bit (one of the side effects is lowered libido). Didn’t make a massive difference, but it’s enough for me to notice and feels less like a “bad side effect” and more like a bonus feature.
Ah, yeah, guess I never realized it’s a .NET program. Never understood why an open source dev would choose .NET, but what can you do.
Also despise Docker (especially the modern over-reliance on it), but that always gets me into trouble when I admit that publicly.
I’ll admit I haven’t really looked into it, but how is the Jellyfin web interface insecure? I don’t currently, but in the past I’ve used ssh reverse port forwarding to my VPS and then used an Apache proxy and letsencrypt for ssl on a subdomain. Maybe I was just lucky, but I never had any problems.
Unfortunately we’re in a drought and it was surrounded by trees. On the one hand, finishing what General Sherman started sounds like a great idea, but it also would cause a lot of pain for innocent people so there are good reasons not to go that route.
It was actually recently taken down, I’m local and heard the reason was something to do with it never actually having been properly permitted to be on the land it was on or something.
Edit: Zoning and not obtaining proper permission for it to be that tall were the reasons it was removed. https://www.wccbcharlotte.com/2026/02/14/judge-orders-removal-of-confederate-flag-along-i-85/
It’s been really nice to drive through that area and not spend the next 30 minutes fuming and plotting to shoot gallium-filled paint balls at the aluminum pole it was on.
Almost certainly not. All you would really need to do to stop this is limit who can submit pull requests to verified devs. Things go back to the way they were during the clunkier, before times when everyone used Subversion, when there were more hoops to jump through to contribute code. Make it so you need an existing contributor to “mentor” first-time contributors (making sure they aren’t an AI, are writing competent code that follows project standards, etc.) before giving access to submit dozens of pull requests.
I mean, his support of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq was pretty controversial towards the end of his life. I think many gave him a “pass” on that due to his illness at the time. But I do recall some starting to question even then, his inconsistency of “religious wars bad, unless it’s against religions I don’t like” (at least that’s how it came across).
As someone who lives in South Carolina, there is one small benefit to this guy being such a nutcase, He’s distracting Lindsey and his PACs, we’ve gotten a couple fliers in the mail from Lindsey Graham affiliates calling out Mark Lynch’s crazy antics (most specifically his calls to legalize cocaine). Haven’t seen one ad attacking the leading Democrat, Annie Andrews. And sure, that will probably pick up after the primaries are over, but I do love watching Republicans waste money fighting each other.
While I agree with you, I’m not sure Chromebooks should count as “using tech” for the sake of learning. If you really want to give a younger generation experience with technology there are far better systems for them to learn on.
Just a minor bit of pedantry, but Social Security Numbers are generally abbreviated as SSN, SSID usually refers to a “Service Set Identifier” aka WiFi network name.
Haven’t had a chance to really look into it, but there’s also spacebar chat which is an open source selfhosted reimplementation of the discord backend that can be used with existing discord clients and bots and stuff. Which depending on how solid the rest of if is, could really help existing discord people move with less effort.
One big downside to ham radio (as someone with my license) is that you can’t use encryption. Which is fine for some use cases, but does limit the usefulness in the “government shut down the internet” kind of scenario.
Which, I suppose if you’re already using back-channels to circumvent some broader government censorship, maybe abiding by FCC rules isn’t a priority anymore, but IMO this is an area where large mesh networks of “consumer” devices with encryption very much still has value.
“Low-energy beverages” sounds like a dumb Trump insult for caffeine-free diet soda.
I’d argue America has shown it’s the one country that other countries do have a right to interfere with. After ~70 years of being the drunken, overconfident, asshole that’s ruining the experience for everyone at the bar because we’ve decided we’re the bouncer. On some level we’ve kinda made ourselves everyone’s problem.
It’s not a perfect analogy, because in a bar everyone else could just leave, and that’s not an option when you’re sharing a planet.
Was nice that they mentioned some of their terminal utilities for scripting/automation. I ported my own scripts over just before Plasma 6 released and haven’t looked back. And having those utilities made my own move to Wayland a lot easier.
There are still occasional things I miss from X11, like Barrier for example, that made using a single mouse/keyboard across multiple systems work like you were just on an extended monitor. But my move was very smooth, and I’m sure it will only get easier between now and the actual end of X11 support.
The thing is, I think if he would just wear that saucy Hugh Hefner meets Scrooge look he wore recently, and owned sucking horse dick. I think the nation would get over it.
Even if he owned sucking off Bill Clinton, we’d mostly go, “I mean, yeah, he’s a real charmer, who among us can say we wouldn’t?” At this point, I think being a pedo creep to kids with Epstein is the only sex scandal that could actually damage him. So few of his sex scandals have really stuck (aside from some real financial penalties in the E. Jean Carroll case).
