Sorry to hear that, I hope things start looking up in the future.

Happy trails!

To enjoy life as a vegan?

The best thing for a vegan to do is to keep being a vegan. Seriously, just keep on doing it.

It doesn't mean evangelise, it doesn't mean denigrate, it means just carry on doing what works for you.

If you're insulting other folks, or trying to push a lifestyle, odds are folks don't dislike you because you're vegan.

Capitalists AND Reviewer 2... Never underestimate the power of Reviewer 2 in publication!

Alas, I do have a plan involving retirement. It is filed under "things that happen to other people".

The probability I'll survive to retirement age is negligible, why worry about it?

1. Make it too big to fail
2. Wait for the fall while enshittifying
3. Cash in on the bail out
4. Go to 2

Mathematics Lecturer (just teaching foundation mind).

It's far more fun than people think, but with next to no real holidays (summer is actually quite busy). Also it sucked being on temporary contract, because you had no idea if you'd have work in 12 months no matter how good you were.

Good to know.

Now here's a thought - what if the real workaround Google are using here is targeting only non manifest V3 users?

That would reduce the cost of doing this, since chrome users are already forced to swallow ads and could just be served as normal.

Boozy Bay, it has an export industry in adventuring parties due to the booming tavern industry.

The end of a beautiful era - hats off for all the folks who made the pi what it is, the folks who will now be forced to make us sorrowful for what it will become.

When you have more tabs than a pharmacy, it's time to worry!

Ehh, I have a different vision here - AI is useful, it's just going down the hypermonetisation path at the moment. It's not great because your data is being scraped and used to fuel paywalled content - that is largely why most folks object.

It's, also, badly implemented, and is draining a lot of system resource when plugged into an OS for little more than a showy web search.

Eventually, after a suitable lag, we'll see Linux AI as the AI we always wanted. A local, reasonable resource intense, option.

The real game changer will be a shift towards custom hardware for AIs (they're just huge probability models with a lot of repetitive similar calculations). At the moment, we use GPUs as they're the best option for these calculations. As the specialist hardware is developed, and gets cheaper, we'll see more local models and thus more Linux AI goodness.

The thought process of every middle manager I've ever worked under.

Oh no! Your neighbour will really be upset now...

What they meant us your lawn has less than the regulation number of dandelions. Quick, go gather seeds and start replanting!

You forgot to tell them that our head office is...

300 Funston Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

...and all the play cards should be sent there!

"I didn't realise the circus was in town!"

"Were your parents siblings, or was it just a lot of head trauma?"

"I'd tell you to read the room, but we both know reading isn't your strong suite."

"What other tricks can you do?"

Quick, someone pretend to be "the Linux company" and convince him to buy it!

And here was me thinking windows 8 was just a beta release of vista that was leaked by Microsoft!

That needed a trigger warning
