Oh, more AI. Just what I wanted.
It’s not a case of could be argued. Musk said “We should be thought of as an AI robotics company”.
Hard to understand why anyone would buy a car from a company that has very publicly lost interest in making cars.

“We want you to use our product” said every SaaS company ever. “Our product is designed for AI” says every SaaS for the last two years.

None of this is very clever or very compelling.

The British one doesn’t, so I’ve no idea how I did that.

Punitive measures only work if you believe you have something to lose, a lot of these kids don't. Sure, you can þunish them for their infraction, and you'll have justice, but it's not going to stop them from doing it again unless they feel like the lost out on something. And if you have nothing in the first place why do you care?

And a punishment is also just attention from an adult, and that often feels like a win over being completely ignored the rest of the time.

We took that exact stance, and it’s largely been a success. Most people asking for SAML can actually do OIDC and are happy to do so.
Re:ZuckOff Know when a camera is in the room on Monday September 21, 2026 @10:24AM (#49787706)
Perhaps the techbros might eventually realise that smart glasses are a shit idea. It’s not like this hasn’t been attempted before with Google Glass.

I don’t have high hopes though, listening doesn’t seem to be their strong point. If they have a strong point.

If it doesn’t fit it’s no use to me.

“I am often wrong” is directly from how to make friends and influence people.
Now make some DDR5.

zfs-mirror-8k (whatever that is) looks alright.
I’m pretty sure I have this. How did you find out?
There is nobody to do that. And nobody to make sure they don’t just come straight back.
Re:Why are AI agents lying, cheating and coordinating? on Sunday September 13, 2026 @08:01AM (#49683027)
Why aren’t the people behind the AI agents committing the crimes going to jail is the more pertinent question.

Re:AMD Based FreeBSD Desktop Reloaded on Sunday September 06, 2026 @07:56AM (#49585645)
Yeah pkg is fine if you’re using prebuilt packages. I don’t think it builds ports with custom configs for you from /usr/ports. Or maybe it does now and I missed that too.

I much prefer sway as my desktop, but each to their own.

Re:AMD Based FreeBSD Desktop Reloaded on Sunday September 06, 2026 @06:39AM (#49585162)
No not all. I’m only on 16 for RDNA4 support, might go back to 15 once it’s back ported, if I can be bothered.

The command I referenced is not, I guess 16 only. Other examples are the service command just appearing, etcupdate being preferred to mergemaster, whatever the current preferred flavour of port upgrade tool is (poudrire, portmaster, portupgrade, something else(?)).

I also have no idea what is a sane way to do things that Linux does as systemd user services like pipewire, xdg-sessions if I want to share my screen.

Re:AMD Based FreeBSD Desktop Reloaded on Sunday September 06, 2026 @04:57AM (#49584557)
Long time FreeBSD user on and off, currently running 16-CURRENT on my desktop for GPU support. But fwget is a new one on me. I’m gonna try it later and see what it does for me.

FreeBSD is really hard to keep up with the changes - i don’t know of a good source to keep up with what is considered the right way to do things anymore. Anyone know a good source? Linux is much better for blogs.

If we explained how dumb this was somebody would have to resign, so we’ll just sweep it under the carpet.
Re:Record-High 89% in U.S. Say Government Corruption Widespread on Saturday September 05, 2026 @06:51AM (#49575266)
All they have to do is persuade the public that all politicians are corrupt, then they can be as corrupt as they like. It’s the populist playbook the world over.
Exactly
I currently have firstnamelastname.name which I use. I’m thinking I need to switch after this.
They just don’t read past the headline and the headline usually involves paedophiles.
Re:GUIs should be fully keyboard-driven on Saturday August 29, 2026 @07:26AM (#49489004)
They used to be. Now everything’s a website or a website inside a chrome engine pretending to not be a website and is completely hostile to UI conventions like keyboard navigation.
