Any tips on backing up a forum hosted on XenForo?

Skyler/ar is a made up name from the 80s and has always been ambiguous.

Debian stable of course.

If only I wasn’t using all that productivity on fixing vulnerabilities

Well that is even worse...

It means we are from now on in an era of plausible deniability.

Its about 50/50 in my experience. On a barely related note, while at a wedding I met someone whose son works for the Trump admin and swore up and down that Trump is just the nicest person and oh so generous. I'm sure he seems that way to some people if they don't look beyond twenty yards or so.

Oh this argument again? Yeah why have any laws at all /s

It is a dark pattern causing the advertised rate to be lower so the listing will get included in more filters etc.

[edit] I checked and they changed this in April of 2025, as of then the fee is rolled up in the advertised rate.

You are right but man the new Fig Newton packaging looks just like the store brand fruit cookies what were they thinking?

Oh right it is all just /so/ confusing lets all just give up /s

Well if it is close don’t expect the results to be accepted.

Seems like one person amassing that much wealth is a national security risk. There is no 25th amendment for a CEO with majority control.

No "it" doesn't fly, whatever that thing they demoed did though.

Those arguments will go away when spending on AI infrastructure is no longer some multiple of gross annual software sales revenue, yeah?

It is a play on the old joke “The beatings will continue until morale approves.”

I don’t hate Tesla, I do think their leader is a Nazi Saluting prick though. You like him?

This describes me, or described me - AI has brought on some existential feelings about programming as a hobby for the moment.

Playing along here, they don’t need /all/ of us to survive, just the desirable ones.

Just train your llm on it and create virtually the same thing it’s like a copyright get out of jail free card.

It’s like the aliens paradox. If AI can build killer software already, where is it?

But it isn't. He has a couple of tools he uses to measure loyalty of and to debase his followers. This is the former, it makes it very easy to see who is loyal and who is not. The tool to debase those that are loyal to him: he makes them repeat lies and accept increasingly morally decrepit things, kind of like how a pimp operates. We're currently on the "public executions" phase of that tool. These are not things that should be ignored and aren't simply the actions of a decaying mind.

You can't seriously, this far into Trump, be asking this question. It is a loyalty test and those that are loyal will get more rewards.

You forgot public executions!

Yes nothing politically divisive about renaming a common term and calling people who don’t use the new term THE ENEMY.

Picking your least favorite companies and applying it to them only is not the right thing to do. Laws and regulations, when not applied equally, are weapons.

There was a time before programming, hacking, open source, and related communities. These things did not exist even 60 years ago. There will be a time after them, and we’ll move on to something else.

Well he has a plan to cut his department's work in half!

If, like me, you were wondering what the room /actually/ looks like: https://www.flickr.com/photos/132123913@N03/albums/721577110...

It's an article in a journal
