Even the sketches from up north are presented sadly and a tad depressing

“oy, where’s my change?” “What change?” “For the money I gave you” “Besides payment for your 10 Dollar Lemonade special offer, I didn’t get any.” “But the sign says 1,50!” 1And a nice day to you, too" “Wait! I want my…” “I said: A nice day, Sir.”

Same in German.

I mean… Have you tried?

Oh, you actually believed that story? Whoops. Sorry! It was actually me who ate your Cheetos and downed your Vodka.

It doesn’t. It will require you to reboot for every god-damned line of code that has changed.

Na, nothing. Did an update today. Nothing bad happened at al, Because why would it?

See, Netflix? You don’t need to ramble on for two seasons to tell a fucking Story.

I really have a hard time deciding if that is the scandal the article makes it out to be (although there is some backpedaling going on). The crucial point is: 8% of the decisions turn out to be wrong or misjudged. The article seems to want us to think that the use of the algorithm is to blame. Yet, is it? Is there evidence that a human would have judged those cases differently? Is there evidence that the algorithm does a worse job than humans? If not, then the article devolves onto blatant fear mongering and the message turns from “algorithm is to blame for deaths” into “algorithm unable to predict the future in 100% of cases”, which of course it can’t…

I dislike that a) it’s considered binary, while the vast majority of people will not be even close to either extreme b) people put themselves into those extremes anyway, throw around the wildest (and mostly useless) definitions of what “being an introvert” is supposed to mean, more often than not dripping with victim mentality c) people use their supposed status akin to a neurodiversity d) people openly blaming others for not being allowed to be like they are because others dare to be like they are (“I have it so hard in life because I’m an introvert in a world full of extroverts”) e) people define large chunks of themselves around some label they largely defined themselves and want this label to be respected as if it was a real thing, an illness almost. f) people define large chunks of themselves around some label that is just meant to very loosely describe some aspect of a human being’s character, not the whole human

Let’s see how many “definitions” of supposed “introverts” or “extroverts” we get this time. It’s pop-psychology BS, people. Nothing more.

If life gives you lemons, have your scientists make lemon grenades out of them

Back in the day, when I installed my very first Linux OS, I had a wireless stick from Netgear. Wireless Drivers back then were abysmal, so I had to compile them from source (literally 15 mins after seeing a TTY for the first time). After I had found out how build-dependencies and such worked somehow and ./configure completed successfully for the first time, the script ended with the epic line:

configure done. Now type 'make' and pray

The enemy of my enemy, eh?

glibc 2.36 is all you’ll ever need, okay? Go away with those goddamn backports!

I don’t. So… uhm… you’re wrong I guess.

You know how Linux killed the chef?

With a fork bomb

It’s always funny to see how inept and childish those companies seem when regulatory bodies don’t just stop pursuing them after their first haphazard attempt to circumvent the rules.

Do you like to wear gloves and a thin mustache by any chance?

let’s be honest: Even if this account was logged into some device that gets lost or something… what could happen? None of the apps can actually do any admin stuff. Even if it could: What harm could anyone do really from within the Plex container?
