Are we into several layers of LLMs to try to find a job, battling hiring LLMs that might be hiring?

Libtewolf is hopefully there. Ublock origin is pre-installed
I'm impressed, been unistalling that monster 20 years before the founder died.
I'm most likely wrong but large language models are literally just stealing....everything

If I remember correctly, Facebook took 10 years raising money before going ipo.

Could be wrong though.

Just curious, is this dark matter holding back the universal expansion?

Grampa got a little weird at 94. But that was a long to live, and at point he most of the diseases including most of the cancers. He passed just after his tiny 15 year old dog passed. Gramps I still miss you, stubborn old man. Grama was my favorite though.

Re:Replacing a $3000/mo Heroku bill with a $55/mo server on Thursday October 23, 2025 @02:47AM (#45678925)
Is it just easier than putting together a school server on the side?
Re:Replacing a $3000/mo Heroku bill with a $55/mo server on Thursday October 23, 2025 @02:28AM (#45678805)
I'm probably wrong, but this argument always cracks me up.

It used to be called 3 laptops a power scrubber and a backup battery. If you want to go self hosting things. If you were fancy you had two servers.

Is this basically doing the same thing as https now? But for http, and firefox just never implemented a simple fix for it's entire existence until now?

I obviously know nothing about this, but I still find it fascinating. Or am I off my block.

That makes a lot of sense as a system. No courts, just I'm not paying you until it meets specifications

Not sure if it counts but I've been enjoying librewolf. I believe just a stripped down firefox.

Sorta not really. They said the plaintiff had a non relevant argument or something.

It can't be as bad as the 90s sega vr, where executives walked out after testing it and then buried the entire project.

I just assumed oregon. Apparently the locals tell me, the owl scare of the 80s that killed most lumber companies on west coast, was simply lobbying and scare tactics by east coast lumber companies. And it worked very well. But who knows.

pro tip. Don't be a flake like me.
Just moved to klamath falls. 4k feet elevation, in a frozen desert with a massive lake. On the border of California.

This is an odd town in every way. I learned this from an older local today. So grain of salt.

Apparently. Klamath was a huge lumber town, and rivaled San Francisco for who would be the larger city...hahah.

But old boys not only shut down i5 going through, but kept a strangle hold on all activities in town for a century.

The unfunny joke I was told. "Klamath Falls will become a decent town when the last 12 old boys die.".

Grain of salt here. Also the spotted owl was a bunch of Eastern Lumber companies funding hippies to shut down western lumber companies. And if you wore a tye dye shirt in town in the 80's. That was a stabbin.

So much salt there.

Eventually it will just be wallpaper.
That is exactly what I was terrified of. I just watched the first episode a couple hours ago. It's pretty good. Not as good as the trilogy, but heaps better than the hobbit.
