Building a train is a lot of work. But if the last guy is willing to loan it, it would be great.

I think some snakes are known to be poisonous. Snakes are prey to several animals.

Don’t feel demotivated. AI can’t replace developers now, and this current crop of them are just unable to.

The thing is, when you don’t know what you are doing, vibecoding looks like it works. This is either one case of this, or it’s some of the last 30 billion OpenAI raised this week at work.

Yes. It’s newby-friendly, what is great for the time every 2 or 3 years that it opens in my face and there’s no alternative editor installed.

Copy and paste are there too, but there’s no reason to use them instead of the terminal buffer, so I can edit things in an editor I like. I just wish it made it easier to delete several lines at the same time.

Yes. The only times I’ve had any problem with pipewire were when pulse decided to run for some reason and disrupted everything.

Also, I can open a pipewire device, write data there, and not run into C assert faults. I can do this with oss and alsa too, of course, but AFAIK, it’s impossible with pulse and all the Linux DEs ran on pure magic for a decade.

Technology does empower or disempower those people depending on the details it has.

We are in a moment when it seems to be doing both. So those people are working very hard for their power. It’s up to us to change it to only disempower them.

Even better. If you set it to -20°C, it was already done 5 hours ago.

Help! I’ve looked at the Sun and it’s white instead of yellow. What does that mean?

I imagine Linux can run most of those. Odds are the OP just didn’t try hard enough.

What is completely understandable.

“More scroll” is downwards.

The overall goals of mind-controlling a computer and not aging are quite ok.

They just can’t do anything good because of who they are. If those people set out to cure cancer, they will do that through a subscription service that require complete subservience.

Soul

Oh, right. Not all of them or not all of the time. At least one of those.

There is analysis of soft material around some fossils.

We know that they didn’t all wear adorable hats mode from compostable materials.

The doctor is the one with the correct reaction there. Go do the second test.

Not at all. “The purpose of a system is what is does” is a phrase that makes it clear that in a system where a lot of people work in, “purpose” is a useless concept and should never be used to tell if it’s a good or a bad system.

It’s an entirely political view of a system, and has no relation to the implementation being stupid or not.

Aren’t those two different pieces of equipment? (Or at least two different parts you swap in a very basic piece of equipment?)

Those are two completely opposite changes, and the format the iron would have to have for each seems completely incompatible.

Does yay integrate with flatpack and snap?

Well…

It’s name-value pairs, with groups denoted by balanced brackets. It’s close to as good as you can get for one kind of data serialization.

What is impressive is how many problems people manage to fit in something so small.

Dude, the entire comic is about wires.
