Well I've seen a number of waves in my time, and none of them had an arm stretched at that angle, palm down, wrist straight. Most people wave with their elbow or wrist, with the palm facing the people they're waving at.

It's wild to me how hodgepodge the software was. It's the software equivalent of the Ford pinto, great and then boom! But for a long time it's all there was.

There were competitors, but nothing offered everything like the blackberry platform in the early 2000s, the (user facing) software and keyboard combo were nuts, and when the trackball was released (Curve? Pearl? Idk) it was like having a little computer in your pocket.

You need to be the right amount of high to properly understand fusion. Too far either way, and it doesn't make sense.

There's a lot of issues with Rust taking more and more of the kernel. I'd like to see the whole kernel transitioned to Rust, but the project can't stand still for that amount of time. Unless someone is willing to take that on, I think it's better that Rust "stay in it's lane", as gross as that sounds.

We're insured, right?

Here you go.

They don't even do that. They just take the edge off enough that I don't actually try to throw myself off a bridge.

I mean, sure, but the issue is that the rules aren't being applied on the same level. The data in question isn't free for you, it's not free for me, but it's free for OpenAI. They don't face any legal consequences, whereas humans in the USA are prosecuted including an average fine per human of $266,000 and an average prison sentence of 25 months.

OpenAI has pirated, violated copyright, and distributed more copyright than an i divided human is reasonably capable of, and faces no consequences.

My use of the term "human" is awkward, but US law considers corporations people, so i tried to differentiate.

I'm in favour of free and open data, but I'm also of the opinion that the rules should apply to everyone.

I all keep going back to my Pebble Time. The battery life and focus on productivity are second to none.

I still have my pebble time, and it's still my favorite smartwatch os.

Audacity is wild to me. It does so much on so many platforms.

If they ever advertised a use case for it, then took that use case away, they can be sued. My most recent memory if the class action against Sony when they dropped Linux support on the PS3.

I mean, the delivery people need to get paid, right?

Man where do you live that an inch of snow is enough to call off going out?

And how much is rent?

That's more what I mean. They won't break the encryption, but at that point with physical access to my home/ computer/ servers, I have bigger problems.

There's very little stored locally that could be worse than a situation where someone has physical access to my machine.

I used to, but it's proven to be a pain more often than a blessing. I'm also of the opinion that if a bad actor capable of navigating the linux file system and getting my information from it has physical access to my disk, it's game over anyway.

Yeah but that's missing the flair required by people who spend their evenings adjusting the radial blur on the window borders.

In the modern day, sometimes it's just nice to be able to say "I did that!".

Same reason I look in the toilet.

I have these, and I thought it would be neat to re-experience them a few months ago.

Wow, voice acting has changed in the last little bit, huh? I remember laughing along, but i couldn't last for more than an hour with those voices.

I watched LTT for years, since we were the same age, and NCIX was my local computer shop.

I noticed a steep decline in quality as LMG got bigger, and a greater focus on personalities and entertainment rather than substance. There's a market for that, and it appeals to the less knowledgeable or as an entry to tech as a hobby, or even people who just want tech-adjacent entertainment. I can't deny the reach and impact this team has, but the content isn't for me anymore.
