• Agentic AI: A list of traditional IF THEN statements that do things based on the output of the magical LLM and then create a new prompt that they feed back into the LLM in a never ending loop, with the aim of consuming as many tokens as possible.

It’s so much worse than that. We use the pleasant answer predictor to predict what function calls and arguments passed to those functions might be the most pleasing.

It can provide all of the capabilities of piping curl into sudo with none of the warm fuzzy feeling of knowing I’ve turned over control of my computer’s fate to a stranger on the Internet.

Instead, I’ve turned my computer’s fate over to a statistical approximation of the slurry from mixing together the outputs of every stranger from the Internet.

Exactly. And they need to make back the biggest up-front loss in the history of investment, and probably - even adjusted for inflation - in the history of currency.

And all that on a product that people don’t want.

Yes. And perhaps, given time, accessing the wrong version of certain sensitive historic events could even be tracked that way.

If I were to hazard a guess - probably just different interesting and worthwile things.

The result gave lloD his first major title more than two decades after he began competing. It was also the first time a Peach player had won a Melee major since Armada claimed Super Smash Con in 2018.

So close, damn it.

I hope Dr. lloD respects their moral obligation to crush people - at least in casual games - while playing as “Dr Mario”.

politicians like political donations.

Really meta can’t figure out are we humans or not with this massive of data they collect?

That part really pisses me off. Asking for any kind of identity verification is just them gas lighting their users.

Human readable test code.

This sounds a lot like gripes that older generations have always had about younger generations.

But this younger generation is the youngest one yet!

I was part of this adoption wave.

During the first hype wave, I felt nervous about their getting the game to a full release.

It’s a great game!

Examined as pokemon game, I rank Palworld somewhere a bit below Dragon Warrior Monsters II, but well above Pokemon Ruby (which itself is great).

“This is not an AI problem. It’s negligence on a 40-year-old standard—and it’s basically every sci-fi film ever,” says longtime security and compliance consultant Davi Ottenheimer. “‘Highly isolated’ and ‘escaped through the one hole we left open’ cannot both be true.”

Oh, yeah. None of my usual techniques would help get newer KDE on stable.

I guess there’s a chance it’s in back-ports, or will get there soon.

I can’t comment on Debian Testing.

I just run stable and pull cutting edge stuff from back-ports or flathub.

For some fancy stuff there’s usually a .deb file to download from the official site.

If I’m really desperate, there’s always piping a curl command to sudo, if I really really trust the provider.

I’ve daily droven Linux for ~3 years and learned a lot

I don’t have any thoughts on certs that haven’t already been shared, but some thoughts for any interviews you may land:

• The person interviewing you has probably daily driver Linux for 20 years, and that’s okay. We all have to start somewhere.
• There aren’t going to be many others (if any) interviewing who have daily driven Linux for three years.

So be humble, but not too humble. Haha.

We’re a neat bubble here, but running Linux as a daily driver is still pretty rare, and puts you way ahead of the pack of other candidates, at least for entry/early Linux systems jobs.

Edit: And if you find an organization that uses AI spicy autocomplete to do entry level Linux admin work, run far away. There’s not enough money in the world to make it worth working with people that stupid (who choose to use hallucination for problems that demand reliability, haha).

Thank you for your wisdom, Comrade Shark Fucker.

Aegis works fine, as long as your organization allows standards compliant authenticators.

Yes. I also switched to Aegis.

Neat.

Yeah. I just mention it because I’ve generally just used VNC myself; and wondered what the fuss with fancier tools was about.

But then I realized home Internet has getting worse for some folks, and so folks might be using a service to get VPN-ed together, or whatever.

I’m also a big VNC fan, but I imagine RustDesk is solving for CGNAT better? I’m not aware of anything in VNC that solves CGNAT being a PITA.
