I think I did, but nothing that a resync didn’t fix.

Installed Mint last week. I already ported most of my personal stuff there ; as a user of FOSS software, it was a breeze. Still dual booting Windows because of work, but I’ll start trying to see if I can get the required tools to work on there too.

For now, my biggest issue was that connecting my Bluetooth headphones to both Linux and Windows was fucky but, lo and behold, there was a guide online that told me exactly how to make sure both OS had the same device ID.

It’s not a painless experience yet, but it’s way less painful than what it was running Win95 back then. And it feels so good to finally flip Microsoft the bird.

I was wondering about the source for this figure. For the curious, it comes from a private report from an independent consulting firm in the UK called MacroStrategy Partnership. I found this article talking about it, dated 2025-10-3.

Who cares about productivity. You’ve reclaimed your time, and napping is probably better for you than whatever you were getting from Reddit.

yeah I don’t really think what I’ve written above is coming. I just expect nothing less from that class than to turn a solution into a new problem. Should have been more explicit about that.

“So, I don’t get why you people keep complaining. This is a green technology! Why are you so mad we’ve been evaporating the oceans at a speed to keep up with the demand for sodium? As if this is what has been causing all these new hurricanes and flood!”

• A trillionaire in 20 years or something.

The current timeline made me into a grumpy pessimist. I need to get out of that mindset.

never noticed! will not recommend in the future. thanks for the heads up.

If you like having a postman like interface, I’ve been using Bruno, which is a local, de-enshittified clone of postman.

I’ve never thought about just using curl, but when I’ll finally migrate for good out of windows to Linux, I will try doing just that, see how that feels.

Animated for you to better understand

oh yeah most definitely and I agree. My real serious positions are :

• Tax billionaires
• let’s create more common services for shit everybody needs (housing, food, insurance, etc)
• start setting up universal basic income for the rest

My previous comment was more of a way to commiserate about those services than offering the advice that This Is The Way.

Imagine if a people actually chose to ban those websites tho. I would start my journey to become a Turk. (♫ ff7 turks theme and snaps ♫) Unfortunately, Erdoğan.

isn’t that the premise of ReBoot?

Let’s hope you’re ready to handle this package. Try your best!

I’ll spell out for you why I feel these two things are the same. You’re welcome to disagree, but maybe it will give you some pointers as to why a lot of people are annoyed by these LLM copy-pasta.

First, a note for your ego : Remember, we don’t know you! You might have read through the whole thing that the LLM generated, and then cross-referenced the sources it gave you and then found some more, and you established the veracity of what it told you. OR you might have not bothered and just copy-pasted it for the clout, I guess, which is what the majority of LLM users do when publishing these answers. Ask for some explanations on how to solve a problem to a student who let a LLM give them the answer to an assignment instead of doing the work, if you need proof. 9/10 won’t be able to, because they didn’t bother to understand it - and I’m being generous in my statistics, in my experience.

There’s also a lot of research that hints that the long term effect of using this tool in that way are deleterious to your critical thinking skills.
We don’t know you, so, chances are you’re in the lot of the majority, as far as we’re concerned.

Then, given that you probably didn’t put much effort into this text (as far as we can tell), there is an imbalance of effort required for us to look through it critically. Why the fuck would we put in the effort, if you most likely were not keen in putting so much in yourself? That’s kinda disrespectful, and egotistical. And also why I feel I am justified to assume that ctrl+c/ctrl+v an LLM output directly is tantamount to copy pasting a list of link from google. If you went through the trouble of validating the LLM output, how about just writing with your own word what you just realized / learned / validated? You can even dictate with tons of FOSS software nowadays if you’re unable to type!

So that’s what I have for now, food for your thoughts I hope. I’m sure I could find more reasons, but I’m going to go do something fun instead.

You realize that if we wanted to see an AI LLM response, we’d ask an AI LLM ourselves. What you’re doing is akin to :

Hey guys, I’ve asked google if the new png is backward compatible, and here are the first links it gave me, hope this helps : [list 200 links]

[…] we’ve been telling Afganis […]

Yes, tell me about how the US has a dialogue with the people of Afghanistan.

Delamain has shown me more loyalty and care than 99% of NC. I’m on board.

Assuming that what you say is true about closed course testing (and that they truly made an effort to replicate the dynamism of a city), why do they gotta test this snack dab in the middle of cities (where we should rather invest in public transportations anyway) instead of, I don’t know, some trails in the woods, where there would also be a bunch of unknowns?

All this reeks of “gotta go to market ASAP to please the investors / shareholders above the rest of humanity” to me.

I agree that it would be safer eventually, but also, testing in vitae might not be the good way to do it. Sure, testing in prod is fast, but there is a reason we don’t do it.

good to know there’s a button in the car. For some reason I thought there only was one in the app which, would it have been the case, is fine if you called the car, but if you’re a guest passenger or just in an emergency and can’t use the phone, then you’d be screwed.
