That’s basically what I was told. It worked, I explained the algorithm I was having trouble with, and that I just ran out of time. He didn’t deduct any marks or anything, he just said I should make an effort to make comments less self-deprecating.

My professor once asked me about a comment that said "// This is awful and you should feel awful, change this before handing it in. " I had no excuse, I just told him time makes fools of us all.

Yes. Go buy a new computer.

Then give me your old computer so I can put linux on it and distribute it for free to students and immigrants.

Well that’s just about the cutest darn ring I’ve ever seen.

Because Hitler is famous for avoiding global armed conflict.

Parlez-vous f*ck you.

Just so I’m the first one to utter the phrase:

"We have credible reports from Windows Intelligence that a crime has been committed, your computer is going to restart. "

It sounds invasive. Like it’s a private intelligence agency and not a chat bot.

I picked up a flip4 just before the 5 was announced. They had a same whew you could trade in an older phone. I think I paid $500CAD + iPhone 12 mini for mine.

I’m 100% a flip convert. My only real complaint is the height, I would love a slightly smaller phone. The fact that it fits in all my pockets, I can put it anywhere without worrying about the screen, I can do things like small payments/ camera/ flashlight without opening it up. I love this thing and I can’t imagine doing back.

I had to replace the screen protector last winter, turns out -40C causes it to lift up from the crease, but$20 later this protector held up all year.

TIL Timecube is no longer up. That was my go to site for what the internet used to be like.

User choice is an accident. Got it.

I can’t help but think that Microsoft has decided to proceed in some way that will break compatibility, so they’re done with Mono now.

I know it’s skeptical, but I just have no faith in that company to act in good faith with anything.

For like, a couple years, sure. Then there will be a huge push to fix all the weird shit generated by AI.

I don’t know that valve needs to bring steamOS to other devices. Pretty sure Bazzite is good enough for most folks.

My printer can print, but most of the other features are locked behind Brothers drivers. Copying/ scanning from the document feeder and duplex were kind of a pain to get working, and for some reason only work from certain programs.

My favorite was when you answered non-smoking and they just took away the ashtray.

I clean out my inbox every decayear.

My hope for the future relies on a study indicating that after 5 or so generations of training data tainted with AI generated information, the LLM models collapsed.

Hopefully, after enough LLMs have been fed LLM data, we will arrive in an LLM-free future.

<this is unlikely to come true but let me hope >

Look, it’s a cheaper hobby than drinking, or outfitting my vehicle. I don’t have the time to retreat to a fishing hole and there’s no hunting nearby.

Yes I play video game, geez.

Like, I’d understand a free version of Windows that has the ads and bloat, but the idea that people are paying $100 for this disrespect is insane.
