This is why I switched also. More and more reports of NPM just breaking out of the blue.

To be fair, not all reasons are good.

Not here. Vinyl is an upsell.

I’m in the sector, and there are legitimate time and effort savings when used correctly. Code refactoring gets a little smarter than a dumb script, boilerplate code is instantly generated, and real educational topics can be delved into and analyzed.

I don’t want to see it closed off, and I want the data used to train made public. These LLMs have capabilities older scripted systems can never match.

Eventually they will replace workers. Our society is too self-centered to make that a good thing.

Do they use the replicator when they’re not moving? Maybe they’re just picking up some hydrogen along the way?

Seems like high energy particles are easier to convert into new elements than low energy ones. Perhaps they’re transcribing uranium with the ingredients. Who knows.

If two moving balls hit each other and bounce apart, it’s the exact same thing as if you held the frame steady on one ball and viewed the other ball as moving faster. Just seems like the stationary ball gets heavier…

Perspective is everything.

A cup of tea is around 500megatons if you convert all the matter into energy. We’re talking a few thousand Hiroshimas.

You sound like me. Shirts at the end of their life go for sleeping. Is went the athletic route, but have switched back after realizing the plastic materials start smelling and get discolored easily (deodorant culprit likely).

Unless you loop on the last day of the worst pain of cancer.

The key difference in planning would be lack of physical object storage. No notes would be retained.

Short-sightedly.

Of course that’s how sanctions work… against nations. Linux isn’t a country, it’s not an American asset. They could have resisted. Linus chose not to.

Do they? They could have just isolated those commits as sanctioned and added a warning. Linux hates Russians as a Finn, so didn’t need much convincing to remove them.

I would be singing a different tune if our allies invading other countries at the moment were also sanctioned, but that’s not the case.

As it stands, let the individuals escape the nation state punishment. They didn’t start this war, and likely don’t support it.

Mindless Self Indulgence

A blue whale would be impressive.

Exactly. All the hype and excitement over a locked down arm ecosystem with evaporating battery life advantages. No thank you. Development efforts are better served elsewhere. I would prefer the Linux community ignore it rather than support it over RISC-V.

It’s almost like the whole customized apps to fit into the GTK framework concept creates too much added work and needs to be rethought.

I don’t understand why someone should choose any GTK variant when they’ll have to refactor and rewrite their application every few years.

Know what you want to buy before going into a store, stick to your guns. Unless you want to dilly dally, it saves time.

Organize your stuff, makes finding things much faster. Adam Savage had a good tip: Befor you put something away, pretend you’re looking for it and put it where your first thought was. Next time you look for it, it’s in a natural spot for you.

Not always good advice.

An exclusive relationship, by definition, minimizes your future options but opens up a subset which are better for many/most people.

Meh, sometimes you just know after seeing who’s out there. I wouldn’t recommend breaking off something good and risking not getting it back because of your insecurities.

After decades of user interfaces and internet access, we’re making things worse rather than better.

Someone at Microsoft realized that hardware will speed up, hiding the fact that the OS is getting bloated and riddled with code that doesn’t directly benefit the user.

The value Windows provides isn’t great enough to deal with this state any longer. In fact, my experience shows it’s slower and just as buggy.

We have technology available to improve experiences, let’s not mix it with profit incentives for once.
