  • There have been no major successful antitrust actions in the US since the 1980s breakup of Bell. Biden's admin started a few, only for Elon to fire most of the people in the FTC, causing e.g. the case against Amazon to stall out

  • Unlike the US, which isn't run by gigantic monopolies at all

  • I liked this movie a lot. Yeah, it's kinda silly in its concept, but the execution of it was deeply satisfying.

  • Same. It's nearly as good as having a full laptop in my pocket wherever I go, given the Fold series' top-end specs and the nice big screen.

  • I've heard that KDE has a cube effect

  • I use Mint for my main gaming PC, FWIW, totally rock solid

  • Another thing you might want to try is Mint with the Mate DE, which is based on old GNOME 2 code (and therefore can load the old add-ons like the 3D desktop cube etc)

  • It is a singularity, in the sense that it is an infinitely escalating level of suck.

  • Hard links are a built-in feature of basically every modern filesystem. The bigger question to me is, why aren't hard links working for you?

  • Meh, some of them won some hackathons and scholarships, it's pretty clear they're otherwise at least somewhat bright but they don't have any relevant domain knowledge.

    In other words, the type of person most likely to be prone to hubris and catastrophic failures.

  • Technical enough to be hired, is all I meant. 🙄

  • How on earth is it offensive to say they're "not experts"? They're not prodigies with PhDs. These specific young men are just technical enough and ideologically aligned.

  • I'd recommend CachyOS if you're trying to squeeze the best gaming performance out of the hardware

  • I just tried those questions with Gemini on my phone. It got them all right. For the directions one it gave me a Google Maps link with the route dialed in in public transit mode

  • Kisak-mesa is my go-to, as a dude running Mint for his gaming PC

  • Aw man, lame. I guess Pixel Fold is gonna be it

  • Ironically these types of tickets are kinda my ADD superpower. I hyperfocus on understanding the entire flow until I fully understand every possible way the bug could occur, then fix it.

    It's when I'm trying to plan something from the ground up that the writer's block hits me and I fall into procrastination and infinite rabbit holes till pressure is applied externally.

  • An algorithm basically means "a procedure to follow to do or decide something"

    That's all it means.

    Contrast a heuristic, which is more of a vibes-based way to make a decision.

  • Everything that makes it better than a generic copy, yes

  • AI Generated Music @sopuli.xyz

    Shadows of Luna II, from my concept album One Year War
