There are certain things people say that should be banned:
Pinterest. My boards are full of diy project ideas and recipes that I will never look at again, but I keep clicking and saving.
The more we get, the better it becomes. Trying to just change the whole system at once is just an excuse for not making the small changes that move the needle.
I had the same issue with Red Hat 6.1 on a cheap PC. One of the reasons I love using Arch is it gives me the nostral of those days.
My Linux journey was pre XP, I was still in 98Se edition and my Linux disk didn’t have a working GUI on it.
People who chew with their mouth open. Looks and sounds disgusting.
I was working on a e-commerce site for a large furniture manufacturer. They wanted to add a new attribute to a site that dealt with the fabrics they used. This would have been somewhere near 500 individual products with their own value for this attribute. We had to get this lined up on the product csv because somebody didn’t think to do it in the erp. One of my managers was set to go in and use Excel to merge the lists, but I realized he would have to do this every month until the end of time. I wrote a quick script on the site to do this anytime the product csv needed to be updated. Write once, run forever.
I used Plex a while ago and didn’t like how I had to look for my folders against the stuff they offered. And the upside of being able to get my stuff from a server install on another network had me wondering if they were looking at the movies I had to pirate. Once I installed jellyfin, I didn’t have to worry. My only issue is if I want to use it on vacation, I have to do some vps hack-jiggery.
Umm, I have some rock salt somewhere around here.
I have ADHD but I don’t tire of foods like most people do. Every morning it’s the same kind of bagel and I still love the flavor of it. My wife can get tired of the same protein in different dinners, but I’ll go a week on chicken before moving to beef.
My opinion on tech is that there are cool things being done that do one shiney thing, but everyone disregards the shit it produces behind the scenes. Blookchain is an awesome concept, the whole chain depends on all the other parts of it, but the fact that in order to use it, you have to download the whole thing in several systems. The size of a single will grow so large, only a few companies will be able to analyze it at scale. And AI is a huge joke. Nobody should be celebrating generative AI. A ton of computing power that is dangerous to our eco system, and it’s all trained on shady material. Nobody is doing anything significant about the power consumption, just coming up with agencies to help companies use AI properly. It’s all a joke. Most of our most influencial technologies are just someone asking how to make big bucks off something comes else created for free.
AI should be used as a recommendation, not an absolute answer.
So… Diogenes?
More than two people in bed.
When I was young lad, my friends and I would play army with stick guns. Once I found the perfect one and I hid it in our army fort that really was just the space between the wood pile and the fence. I think his dad used it in the fireplace cause I never saw it again. If I was as smart as this guy, I would still be going after Rambo’s enemies today. I still miss that stick gun.
So what you are saying, in plenty of words, is that because the dude has the material privileges he thinks that the world has the same access to them too?
I have read many comments here about how horrible it is that the rich get everything and we need to make the opportunities equal for everyone, I think they are missing the point of the comic. At the end, Richard’s view has been filtered through the things he was given as something that happens to everyone. Nobody told him that he was given privileges that Paula doesn’t have access to. To him, everybody has access.
My honest recommendation is dd It works, it does it’s job, and doesn’t need to many bells and whistles. My only complaint is that there isn’t an easy way to show progress. But as a background command, it works.
The second one I get the closer I am to inner city areas. The first I have been hearing more in suburban areas and outside of the inner city regions that it originated.
