I’m apparently both the shirtless guy (Gentoo) and the arch user. But I’m also the Kali user and Windows guy occasionally. It probably averages out.

I’ve had entire dreams in the command line, which was fairly incredible to me at the time because I still couldn’t read the characters consistently, and was only taken aback at the strangeness of such after the fact. I had a sense of what the commands meant and I knew what I was doing (hacking the planet), but while I couldn’t read it I knew what the output felt like. Dreams are weird.

Maintaining continuity of consciousness is the only thing that would make me feel comfortable with converting myself to a machine intelligence.

Never dehumanize fascists or fascist-sympathizers (redundant but ok), it’s always important to remember that bad faith actors or their stooges are human and cannot be entirely eliminated from society, which is why people that fight for positive change have to set the rules such that bad faith actors’ actions are either quickly recognized and mitigated, or have society structured such that even those motivated solely by unempathetic selfishness can only achieve status by masking and contributing positively anyway.

Isn’t post-quantum cryptography already a thing? Probably not implemented in anything meaningful yet, but still.

I think it’s the majority, still. Not sure if that’s technically changed to KDE with Steam Decks though.

If they were apologetic about it I wouldn’t be so disappointed.

I’d assume most people have peeled an orange, but probably not a lemon. Interesting question though.

Yes. Yes we are.

Every day, your body will probably generate at least one cell that would be cancerous if it wasn’t for your immune system. If that probability goes up slightly as a result of mildly increased radiation that day, it likely won’t overload the immune system’s capacity to deal with it. If it is overexposed to radiation, eventually the greater probability of cancerous mutations exceeds the immune system’s capacity.

That probably won’t work by default because ulimit sets maximum processes per user, but I haven’t tried it recently, or with emacs.

Is that JC Denton? Deus Ex (original flavor) was an excellent game when it came out (despite the best efforts of modders, it did not age well). I wish it was remade. Cyberpunk 2077 kind of scratches the itch, but there’s no replacing that story.
