Every tenth line of code needs a comment break for a detailed ascii “drawing” of human hands

Definitely Gentoo

The more realistic we can make the training, the better prepared armed school staff will be to respond to an active shooter

At Uvalde, local law enforcement trained AT THE SCHOOL. It didn’t help at all. And that was for people trained for a shootout. What makes anyone think this is a good idea for regular staff members?

Under the 2022 law, school personnel – who were previously required to receive the same 700 hours of firearms training as law enforcement officials or security officers – can carry guns at school after 24 hours of instruction, provided they have permission from the local school board.

Holy shit. I’m not a gambler, but I wouldn’t bet against someone getting shot unjustifiably in the first year of implementation.

Cars didn’t “solve a real problem” at first either.

The Internet was a mistake

Weird Al should be all over this.

mushrooms and other fungi.

This is the kind of AI-shenanigans I look forward to.

I meant outside the building. No where did I suggest people protest in hiding. Protesting is a right, but maybe not protesting inside the Capital. At least some of the Jan 6th insurrection “protesters” were peaceful, and they were also rightfully arrested and charged.

They could just protest in front of the capital. No need to go inside and disrupt…Whatever the hell they are doing in there right now, but otherwise might be conducting government business.

If people want to protest, it should be outside the capital. Protesting inside the capital does nothing for their cause.

I don’t know is the term “payware” is new, but it is the best description of Blizzard’s shitty sales practices. I remember when I played shareware, and you got to play the first few levels of a game, and if you liked it, you paid a single price to unlock the entirety of the rest of the game.

I was using Mint for a while but the system got hosed. I plan on modding Starfield, and there was another game I can’t recall that wouldn’t work on Linux. After I best Starfield I fully expect to wipe my system again and go with a more stable distro of Linux (e.g. Gentoo or something).

To add to that, Android is likely the overwhelming market share of Linux-based operating systems in use today. For that matter, an absolute ton of Intel CPUs have Minux installed on them too, but I wouldn’t call this “on the desktop”, just interesting.

Honestly, between the telemetry data collection, the strange hardware requirements, advertisements, bloatware, and unknown future licensing model, Linux is looking like an attractive option. At this point, I only use Windows for Office and gaming, and Linux + Proton has gotten really good lately. I don’t see a reason to use Windows on my personal machine any more.

Oh no! Anyway…

Would it still really be Point Nemo if people live there?

There’s a lot of iconic problems Apple has had with product launches in the past (attenna-gate and butterfly keyboards are some of the most obvious recent ones), but I cannot for the life of me understand how something like this slips through in 2023. They must have a thermodynamics team that helped engineer the chassis, and the SoC team must know the thermal output of their chip. Did they just not test the device?

Here I am wondering if he just asks GPTChat what to do for every business decision and follows it blindly.

Admittedly, I know little of AI. However, once companies can no longer increase profit with AI, they will use it to save costs instead. This will inevitably lead to mass layoffs, not because AI will correctly determine where to maximize revenue, but because executives don’t understand how how AI works, and they don’t understand how their employees contribute to their revenue.

They already have a Windows “S” mode or whatever it’s called that does this. People will reject it, even casual users. I had one person ask me to turn off this mode to their kid could play Roblox. They just want to run apps, they don’t care how they work.
