If you can put together Lego with the instructions or IKEA furniture, you’ll be fine. It took me three tries, and I learnt stuff from each mistake, so the worst that can happen is you learn.

Sure. That’s my kink…

*phish

It’s a heavy crown to wear.

I agree. Most people won’t switch to Linux because they have never used it and think they’ll have to relearn computers from scratch.

“Leroy! One of them Amazon critters is coming! Bring your shotgun! Last time we gots that airpad thingy, let’s see what this one brings”

There goes my plan of maxing out credit cards on stuff to bequeath.

“42”

Worked easily for me. Perhaps you need some kind of general data protection regulation in your area.

Ahh Archie, I remember looking for warez with Archie in the days before the world wide web.

The people with money make the laws. They want to protect their money above all else, so crimes against their money are punished more harshly than others. Note this doesn’t happen when people with money steal from poor people en masse.

Indeed, the potential consequences are concerning. Addiction to AI-driven technologies is a real issue, especially when they become ubiquitous. Utilizing local AI for mental health support could indeed mitigate some risks. However, we must proceed cautiously to navigate the complexities of integrating AI into our daily lives. And yes, envisioning a world where everyone converses like language models is both fascinating and slightly eerie.

And as far as I’ve been led to believe, workers in the USA will be bullied into not taking any time off. Germans will take their entitled holidays and use sick leave when they are sick.

Still waiting to see Dogma on Blu-ray…

Yeah, I played with it a couple of times to see what it was like. I now have about eighty cents in us currency sitting in my PayPal. Woo.

I recommend next time to use btrfs. With / and /home (at least) as separate subvolumes. Each subvolume will use the space it needs, and no more. If you have a 500Gb SSD with 300Gb in /home, and 20 in / they both have 180Gb they can use.

And when you manage to fill the 500Gb, it’s easy to just add another drive to the volume.

I’ll give you a hint, there’s oil at the north pole.

That’s why I live in the EU, and they have to include the lowest price in the last 30 days with the “discount” price.

Man was in a terrible flood and climbed up to the roof to avoid the water that kept rising. He was very religious and so when a boat came by and offered hep he said, " God will save me" and refused to go. The water rose higher and a jetski came by and offered to help, but again the man said, “God will save me”. The water rose even higher and a helicopter came by and lowered a ladder, and again he refused and said “God will save me”. The waters kept rising, swept the man into the flood and he drowned.

In heaven, the man speaks to God and says" why didn’t you save me?"

God replies, “I sent a boat, a jetski and a helicopter! What more did you want?”

Fix the holy cigarette lighter.
