Dove whole body deodorant bastardized My Neck My back, but they used the song.

A company turning off its user base because it’s shoving unwanted AI into it’s product is a lot like a self dick hammering.

Not just the highest bidder. All bidders.

I’ve stopped consuming as many pepsi-co products that I’m aware of since they took the veil off and dropped DEI. I don’t want to give them any benefit of a doubt that they were pressured into it. The “pressure” was the only excuse they needed to drop it. Fuck’em.

… Ew.

Bad code is bad code. We’ll see more of this as rust is implemented into core software.

I hope they extra packed the snowballs so they hit like a block of ice. Ice on ICE violence. That’s what I’m here for.

Yea, I try to not go down that path if available, but just tonight for example we were talking about an athlete who I lost respect for due to their not getting the covid vaccine when it was mandatory. I expressed that given the timing, I can empathize to an extent, but at a certain point, this person just ignored any procedure and didn’t work for an alternative, which there were paths for. In reality, it shouldn’t be a political opinion, but vaccines have become political.

I generally try not to engage in political discussion in person otherwise, but if I get pulled into it, I’m not in the habit of letting bigots speak without pushback, regardless of my relationship (boss, subordinate for example) to that person or persons. Silence is complacency. I try not to stir the pot, I’m not going to keep quiet just to not insult someone’s opinions, but I do try to speak in a respectful manner for the sake of conversation rather than debate.

90+% of the time it’s a non issue because I try to take steps to not be belligerent, and often times that leads to some level of constructive conversation or it just pivots to something else and we all move on amicably.

As an outsider, you have a different perspective and your comment absolutely has a place regarding US politics. You don’t have to live here to hear the dumb shit that he says and to know how fucking absurd and stupid it is. I would argue that an outside perspective, if taken with and is accurate to current context, carries more weight than 35+% of US opinions. Especially being geographically near by, which seems less and less relevant as this dumb mother fucker keeps talking and bombing Venezuelans, I think the state of US politics is significant in the state of your country.

Best of luck Canada. Fight the fascism. Fuck this turd.

Usually it’s because the topic i want to discuss is politically motivated. I always preface with, not to get political but… And try to make it a neutral conversation.

Take it out of the box then put it in the box. Shakey hands preferred.

Almost 100% of the time actually. You gotta think, what are republican principles? The answer is hate and bigotry, and the vast majority have stuck to that in spades.

The only reason I stopped using Librewolf is because it has to install from binaries on update and that took a non-igsignificant amount of time on at least Arch.

I didn’t love the extra overhead from the security, but I would do it if it didn’t mean 15 min updates seemingly every couple of days. Maybe I’m an anomaly and was doing something wrong, and I’d love to hear if others have something better, but I just try to adjust my behaviour accordingly.

It literally went from .1 fps to workable across multiple monitors over night. I’ve had one issue since where an update broke multi monitor support where if I changed monitor input without first removing the monitor in display it hard locked my computer. After a couple weeks that was fixed. Now periodically I have to restart Steam sometimes after an Nvidia update sometimes a full system restart, but not always and that’s still less restarts than the equivalent on Windows.

I’ve got a few friends that are considering a full jump, but a couple still play LoL or other anti cheat and aren’t willing to jump ship yet. The fight is real and I’m still pushing though. I’ve been all one for 2+ years now and other than the pre plasma 6 days on kde, I’ve had one game that I had to tweak some settings for, Ghost of Tsushima didn’t have multiplayer support, but the rest have been perfect out of box. For 90%+ of people, gaming and Linux will just work, regardless of GPU.

Boone? There are plenty of fan boys out there that are selling rust like AI, or in other words snake oil.

Rust obviously has built in securities that C doesn’t have, but a shitty coder is a shitty coder and bad QC is bad QC. Now we’re seeing the reality of the consequences.

Rust and/or other memory safe® languages are like the future, but hopefully more people are now seeing the cracks. Just look at cloudflare for a prime example.

…what’s the first tie breaker?

I had issues until about 18 month ago. I went from Wayland completely unusable with my 2080ti to it just works with plasma 6 I think.

I’ve been tasked with getting more copilot automation integrated at my job. After a bunch of research on security, governance, app Lifecycle, and the complexities to get that setup properly, I brought pages of notes to the manager in charge. I expressed how expensive it is, how the product is awful out of the box, and how we don’t have any defined use cases. She asked me if it’s so complicated and expensive, how are other companies doing it. I told her I don’t think there are many companies that have really gone in on agentic. I think 99% of use cases is people using copilot as a search engine. I’m going to be sharing this article even if it’s filled with bias.

Obviously if there’s someone in the cross walk you wait for them, but the expectation is that nobody starts crossing in front of the procession.

I read in on C but it’s also true for JavaScript. The code implies that x was declared as an int sometime previously, or if JavaScript, just an object if not assigned a value giving it a type.
