except for, you know the city in TFA. And Asheville, NC.

I'm sure there's more but not enough for sure.

I'll say something.

Elon Musk has likely done irreparable harm to my country. Harm that undoes generations of progress and sacrifice by people I've loved dearly.

I do wish that more people cared and it's supremely disappointing to me that they don't.

And stole every bit of Intellectual Property they could get their hands on legally or otherwise.
Re:Prospero: A new coding harness for a more civilized age on Saturday October 31, 2026 @01:32PM (#50318155)
I'm similar but not really a programmer. I've been a linux sysadmin for a few decades but for whatever reason I prefer using Codex via the desktop app rather than the TUI. The desktop app on linux is fine for me. Note: i've not used it anywhere else but since linux was the last to get the desktop client i'm assuming it's at least as good on other operating systems.

On looking at Prospero it's ... simpler than this is so maybe not robust enough for your wants.

I'd have gone with Bantha in an ice cave myself.
In yesterday's video from Benn Jordan [0] there was a Flock employee that told 911 multiple times "I'm not sure if they are armed." when reporting that a few people were filming from the perimeter of a Flock office building in Georgia.

He also said several times that "we're under lockdown here."

/shrug Seems like he was certainly trying to cause some form of harm.

Flock sucks.

As a homelabber, that 5090 I bought a couple years ago for 2k just sold for 9k and I paid off my car.
To flip Congress in the hopes that a few people that will actually obey The U.S. Constitution are elected.
At that rate surely they started with just goose eggs.

Where does Ubisoft slot into this equation?
Funcom released a single player update for Dune: Awakening (not quite MMO but close) just a few weeks ago. They have simulated player economy and end game systems and flexible rules+progression for the game itself ... it's been great.

For many online games the same could be done. Simulate the systems, give players the ability to tweak the rules and just have fun.

Re:'AI' Is Not a Tool by Rich Hickey on Tuesday October 13, 2026 @06:15AM (#50069386)
The part about "It's just a tool." that always bugged me is exactly this.

A Hammer is a tool ... a carpentry sub-contractor is not.

I guess that's where the rage comes from. People that believe a policy is without reason.
Re:AI in Linux on Wednesday July 29, 2026 @12:34PM (#49099675)
It's because, at least in the US, AI generated code cannot be protected by copyright.

<https://www.copyright.gov/ai/>

<https://www.copyright.gov/ai/Copyright-and-Artificial-Intell...>

  The Office concludes that, given current generally available technology, prompts alone do not provide sufficient human control to make users of an AI system the authors of the output.
I'm not a lawyer either but if/when something like this goes to court the conclusion of the US Copyright Office is probably going to play a part.

The recommended OS during this process is .... "Raspberry Pi OS" i.e. Raspbian.

In this case? Social Network protocol scene but generally the open source world (and every other niche interest in existence) has it's own bouts with scene drama.
Re:$100 AI Music Video: Claude Fable 5 vs. GPT-5.6 Sol on Friday July 17, 2026 @08:19AM (#48946475)
... because of the evidence all around us?

But really, nobody said "only" it's just that the gems are drowning alongside us in a sea of bullshit and the tide is still on the way up I'm afraid.

Never underestimate the siren song of scene drama.
I didn't know that they (the reverse ATMs) were being outlawed until i saw a Kitboga + AARP interview on youtube the other day.

Kitboga is a dang hero.
