Also air pollution because quite a few are gas-powered (mobile units). Elon Musk’s among them.

The 10 year almost complete lack of regulation for all things AI might have something to do with it.

The inventor of the Moomins was part of the Swedish-speaking minority in Finland, just like all of Åland’s inhabitants are.

Oh. This shows my ignorance! I never use such services.

Hmm, I just realized that the Architect Sketch could also work as an interpretation of BrExit:

Based on a misconception, a complete meltdown and burning of bridges, followed by whiny begging to be let into the fold.

There isn’t too much or outspoken whiny begging in the UK, but the sentiment is definitely there.

Not sure what ccTLD is, but they also have their own stamps and their own government. They are largely autonomous.

That’s what I meant: that will cost less if you buy them in bulk, then use them one by one.

Premeditated harassment!

Granted, 241 days is a long time. Maybe 2 bulks then.

I am, of course, entirely serious about this.

Stark reality. Thank you.

Google: 🙋 “Erm, sorry, your portrayal of our complete lack of ethics is incomplete. Thank you.”

I wonder if it was bizarre enough for the ex to know exactly who this is coming from, or if it was bizarre enough to make him freak out.

edit: apparently the latter

She probably bought them in bulk. They keep a long time in the cold.

New World Screwworm

What a name. Took me a while to parse that headline.

This was discussed here recently, with many people directly affected and working in tech weighing in. The impression I took away:

“We’re using more AI” is a guarantee to make the stock go up. So on some shareholder meeting they decided that company policy is to use more AI. Whatever you do, just use more AI. And that gets handed down to the actual coders - those that didn’t get fired.

I heard ridiculous shit like using one of the big LLMs to make web searches or read your mail, just to fill the quota.

Next question: why is “more AI” a guaranteed stock raiser even though there’s no usable product? Because the US government is in cahoots with Big Tech to the point they become indistinguishible.

Google is the only one who was always just a standard font. Maybe they started that shit?

YvesSaintLaurent is a fucking disappointment. I hate that company, and it was always so recognizable, it was easy to direct my hate. Now - meh.

But as much as I hate the trend - these are only 16 of probably thousands of recognizable brands.

Seems the war in Iran has diverted attention from longer-standing conflicts and the US immediately seized the opportunity to soften sanctions against Russia? Maybe some other countries, too.

They even blacked whited out Paragon’s contact email and phone number.

yes and yes and yes, except:

Cron jobs are nice and simple to create.

So are systemd timers. Seriously. I understood this sort of argument in the years when systemd was relatively new, but nowadays … c’mon, it’s 2 config files in a very simple (the simplest form is just 2 headings with one variable definition each) and common format and (optionally) one command to reload the daemon.

Maybe adding a line to your list of cron jobs is slightly quicker, but you have none of the things systemd offers on top.

OK, tbf I don’t know how much (ana)cron provides. Cleaning up the process tree? Restart conditions? Avoiding service duplicates? Advanced starting & repeating like “5min after boot” or “only after this other service has succeeded”? Can it read abbreviations like ‘daily’ or does it all need to be in that cryptic cron syntax?

A Japanese minister denies militarism, per se? That sounds wrong.

First sentence of the article:

Japan’s defence minister has rebutted Beijing’s claim that his country is engaging in a “new militarism” - criticising China for its military expansion and lack of transparency.

That makes more sense.

Personally, I don’t buy into any “China’s peaceful imperialism” narrative. Sure, they’re better than the US and Russia, but that’s a pretty low bar.

Not sure I like the current Japanese regime either though.
