I feel the same way about slapping fools.

Do you do that enough to justify Nvidia’s stock price? I sometimes ask it stupid questions as a novelty but that isn’t something worth paying for.

Nvidia should sign every long term contract possible. It’s the most valuable company on Earth but few people actually use A.I. and Switch 2 sales aren’t going to justify the price.

I’m not saying A.I. is worthless. It can never live up to the hype and most consumers don’t have datasets. Something incredibly useful for medical science and astronomy is not really fit for purpose elsewhere.

Oh, thank you for the correction. I just did a cursory look and didn’t see them being involved.

Normally, I’d be outraged but I sort of feel bad for Tiffany. Outrage is there too but I feel bad for her. She’s clearly the red headed stepchild of the known Trumpitos. We all joke about how Trump has a crush on Ivanka. Tiffany doesn’t even get that.

It’s not Sinclair this time but it’s just as bad. Nexstar wants to merge with Tegna and create a new Sinclair, basically.

Typically with Debian distros, I set security updates to be automatic and I just go in every now and then and update the rest. But I pretty much only use it on servers and Raspberry Pi side projects.

To be clear to people who find this, none of these distros we’re talking about are for massive scale. We’re talking personal stuff, side projects, small businesses, etc. Don’t put Kali Linux on your laptop. It’s made for a specific purpose.

Linode. I don’t trust the parent company but who can you trust? It’s super easy to setup and like $5 a month for a small scale project that isn’t mission critical.

Note: I would never use it for a paid or really important thing. If you expect your Boy Scout group to have 50,000 users one day, it’s not fit for purpose. It’s more than fine for a little league schedule or whatever.

It’s true. The Bronze Age collapse even blames “sea peoples.” They weren’t singing Rihanna. It was sea shanties keeping morale high.

I always go back to Fedora. Different strokes for different folks and I’m definitely not trying to have a “Which distro?!?” conversation. Maybe you have philosophical reasons to hate it. (I do sometimes too.) But that’s my home base.

It’s partly because I learned on WhiteHat/CentOS/RHEL for work. But even today, it’s my stable, baseline distro. They don’t change Gnome or push updates without at least some testing. (I know.) Drivers almost always work. There’s (usually) documentation written by paid professionals. It’s just a good, solid OS that I can make mine without uninstalling shit or worrying it’s unstable.

Debian is perfect for that too, obviously and I’m eternally grateful for Arch’s wiki and community. But for my needs, Fedora strikes a near-perfect balance.

He can come to New Orleans if he wants to find out. All this bluster and can’t even take a street car 7 blocks or whatever.

They’re gonna make everyone download a new app that’s just for Americans so have fun with that. What sort of cool teen is excited about an OracleTok where they replaced Brazilian models with SQL lessons and propaganda chosen by a bunch of old ass fascists?

Man cannot live off sea shanties alone. We’ve proven that twice now. That’s why the meme went away and 18th century mutinies happened.

Thank you. I was trying to remember and my brain was like, “Not emu. What’s the ratite from S. America called again? Fuck! I just saw a whole science YouTube video about ratite evolution like 2 days ago.” And then I just assumed it would be exotic.

The most hospitalized man in history does it again! He’s the Da Vinci of hospitalizations! Who but Bolsonaro could get bit by an exotic bird while quarantined for COVID?

This isn’t a Jordon vs. Lebron or Pele vs. Maradona type debate. There can be no debate. He’s the illest to ever do it.

The article says it could result in a fine that’s based on the value of the damage. You’d think having a famous artist’s work would increase the value of the building.

I know NYC is a major city and media hub but I’ve never seen a bunch of bozos so unable to handle a municipal election before. And in a municipality that routinely elects the most embarrassing mayors. The Onion even has an evergreen article about NYC mayors. https://theonion.com/de-blasio-well-well-well-not-so-easy-to-find-a-may-1847151201/

RIP US Democracy (aged 1965 or so to 1980 something). We hardly knew ye.

Imagine the piss pant stains if Trump supporters were forced to take the Metro or a street car to occupy a major city. Any civil war would have to have a regional hub with microwave pancakes and ionized water at their neighborhood (now closed) Bed Bath and Beyond for whatever moron troop movements anyone planned.

To be clear, I hope people who think little kids should be exposed to diphtheria to find out who is trans don’t rise up. But they won’t win a whole war even if they cause more human suffering than every “East India” company combined.

America was founded by tobacco companies and people so weird about religion, they were told to leave Europe even though mass communication wasn’t invented yet and they probably could have just been slightly less weird a kilometer away. Our justice system was probably always going to favor disgraced sex pests.

I got one at a CVS in Louisiana but had to have my doctor call in a prescription. Insurance covered it. There’s also apparently some weird supply issues. A colleague (who is over 65 and clearly eligible) had an appointment at a large hospital and they told her they were out of COVID vaccines but had plenty of flu shots. She was ultimately able to reschedule and get a Pfizer shot but they were still out of the Moderna one and whatever the non-mRNA shot is called.

It all sort of smacks of disorganization (possibly deliberate incompetence considering we have a loon with brain worms in the driver’s seat). But it seems like some people are having access issues and other people just waltz into a Walgreens/CVS and get their booster in minutes.
