Re:WTF Ubuntu? on Monday November 02, 2026 @05:54PM (#50345205)
A colleague once told me not to use Ubuntu in production. I was too busy/lazy to research why. That was ten years ago. I'm glad I procrastinated in my research and just used Debian all these years.
I'm more looking for the Jane from Speaker for the Dead version. In-ear device that can hear and feel the subvocalization.

Unintentional napping was associated with possible/probable dementia.

Intentional napping was not.

One could easily reverse cause and effect here.

Soon we will have the technology to become mice and take advantage of the infinite wonders of these discoveries.

All those tools are FOSS.

At priority ranking? It's less accurate, slower, and more expensive than every other purpose-built tool.

They should at least tell us the atomic mass they're using.

If it's based on carbon-14 it will lose half its model weights in 5,730 years; if it's based on carbon-12, it's a stable release.

Remind me to invest more in the clouds they are burning those tokens in.
So the giraffe kinda moves like a knight that can't jump. It takes a mandatory diagonal, then must move at least three more squares. But then it can move any number of squares in that direction after those three.

Okay, so not really like a knight at all.

Wait until you find out about the cannon in Chinese chess. It's like a rook that not only can jump one piece, but must.

Re:Italian parliament votes for return to nuclear energy on Wednesday September 23, 2026 @02:55PM (#49820770)
So their plan to burn oil and keep the AC mandated no cooler than 24°C in their homes didn't work out? Huh.
