It will get repealed when all the always-working parents can’t stand “teenager smell.”

It rings a bell but I’m not sure if I’ve watched it. Will definitely check it out. Thank you!

Yeah, I’m also sad to think how many brilliant souls wander the streets because care is withheld out of reach. Whether the victims are geniuses or not though, the streets were the wrong replacement for mental institutes.

I agree, chat bots can be neat (HUGE caveats), but in the midst of unprecedented loneliness and mental anguish, they’re gasoline on a trash fire.

Illustrated plainly by the fact that the next post to this one in my feed was about the always-controversial bcacheFS author claiming he’s achieved AGI and has a self-aware AI girlfriend.

“Oop…hup… Uh-oh. I’m in a hole.”

Something tells me that’d be so scary if Terry (RIP) was able to integrate an LLM into TempleOS.

There you go, kids! Behold, The Future™!

Having RAM prices skyrocket 9000% and all the ecological destruction was totally worth it for a future that’s continvoucly morged!

Fast forward 30min of training and the final outcome is a model that outputs “do nothing” in 100% of the cases.

To be fair, your program demonstrated the most reliable way to win at crypto! 😉

It’s like Suzanne, the Blender monke ❤️ 🐵

you can also alias rm to run sl instead :)

Choo-choo!!

Hehe I just thought of a hilariously nefarious prank: alias ls to sl. 😂

I was thinking about the cables themselves but, you’re right about the McGuyvered adapter!

Wonder if it gets hot over time. 🤔

…I really don’t know electronics and want to pick it up soon haha.

I was expecting a pair of flip flops. :)

EDIT: oo, maybe one of those motor-unicycles!

… is it the “UNIX-Hater’s Handbook” from 1994 with a parody of “The Scream” on the cover?

LOL nice, I’ll have to check it out. :) Thanks!

I’ve read this somewhere too! Where are you quoting it from if I may ask?

But yes I also agree 💯%. rm should always be treated with respect and care by default rather than “customizing the danger away.”

That’s certainly something you can do! I would personally follow the recommendation against aliasing rm though, either just using the trash tool’s auto complete or a different alias altogether.

Reason being as someone mentioned below: You don’t want to give yourself a false sense of security or complacency with such a dangerous command, especially if you use multiple systems.

I liken it to someone starting to handle weapons more carelessly because the one they have at home is “never loaded.” Better safe than sorry.

Lol we should have “rules of rm safety”:

• Assume rm is always sudo unless proven otherwise.
• (EDIT)Finger should be off the Enter key until you are certain you are ready to delete.
• Never point rm at something you aren’t willing to permanently destroy.
• Always be aware of your target directory, and what is recursively behind it!

OOOOOOOOOOOF!!

One trick I use, because I’m SUPER paranoid about this, is to mv things I intend to delete to /tmp, or make /tmp/trash or something.

That way, I can move it back if I have a “WHAT HAVE I DONE!?” moment, or it just deletes itself upon reboot.

I would totally love to browse a simpler “layer” of the Internet that could be navigated with Lynx! The biggest downside would be lack of images. (Maybe Lynx can do images?)

But I could see an indie web of little blogs and human created artifacts that would be surfed kinda like logging into a MUD. :D

First off, I’m really glad to see posts from personal websites and blogs! Way to keep the indie web alive!

Sadly I got a Cloudflare error trying to open the page. But, I think on this subject, GUIs can be great tools, but they’re the most commonly designed with exploitative dark patterns and “our users are drooling simpletons” in mind.

Terminals are also super cool. It’s definitely easier to automate terminal programs than GUIs!

Also TUI? Man, opening BTOP is always a treat .

It just kinda depends on the tool for the job, right? Blender is a great example of a streamlined necessary graphical interface that asks for a terminal-like familiarity from the user. (And GUI-only folks kinda rage at it at first hehe)

Running as much as possible in terminal is definitely easier on the resources though, and I want to get a lot better at that. (As sexy as KDE is!)

Exactly. I’ve got a 4TB mirror setup for my pictures I reclaimed from Google Photos, and music, and other important stuff. It also backs up to iDrive which is really affordable. (Hopefully stays that way…)

What sucks is I scored a deal on a pair of WD Red 4TBs to add, but one was defective (secondhand, and WDs RMA procedure is STRICT.) , so now I’m stuck with a half expansion I don’t know what to do with and it’s kinda not responsible for me to spend >100 bucks completing the mirror right now.

My media collection isn’t on a mirror or backed up or anything because it’s naturally way larger than everything else, but I think for the stuff that truly matters, this will see us through.

Oh that’s so COO-(FLASHBANG LIGHT AND PINGING SOUND) - why’d it have to be a white webpage lmao. X_X A sign I should be sleeping lol.

Seriously this is awesome though, thanks for sharing this! Sounds like it could be a great upgrade from the PineTime some time. That was unexpectedly exciting!
