Honestly I haven’t had to say something in almost a decade

I certainly hope so. It’s been great seeing PopOS and Linux Mint pushing the bar on what a good linux desktop experience can be.

I’d love to see Linux become a stronger competitor to macos (which is what I’ve used for almost 20 years).

Adium was awesome, that was the golden age of computing and the internet in my opinion.

I miss Adium, I used it for a bunch of protocols, and I customized the CSS/html to make it look really awesome.

I had an app called snakeskin or something to skin my Mac OS X to be dark themed.

Is there evidence of this happening?

And if so, I think I would just plug it into an old router via ethernet with no external connectivity.

Yeah I remember when they rolled that out… it does not give me hope for the future of privacy.

Canada needs to really ramp up our privacy laws, I’m not crazy about GDPR specifically, but there needs to be something more substantial here.

Correct

Never connect your tv to the internet.

How did GRRM get rich again?

oh yeah he sold books he worked on for decades, totally the same WB.

He died before I was born, but the man was apparently very fun even after coming back from the war

What? Men weren’t sexy?

My great aunt had photos up of my late great uncle doing pushups on a railroad track, in short shorts, with her sitting on his back. I can’t remember if the pictures was from before he went to war or after.

They did wear those high pants and dressed more formally, but it was because they had less clothes.

I can’t believe this got released and this is still happening.

This is the revolution in search of RAG (retrieval augmented generation), where the top N results of a search get fed into an LLM and reprioritized.

The LLM doesn’t understand it want to understand the current, it loads the content info it’s content window and then queries the context window.

It’s sensitive to initial prompts, base model biases, and whatever is in the article.

I’m surprised we don’t see more prompt injection attacks on this feature.

That’s bullshit

I don’t like that news… It doesn’t sound wholly wrong but I do focus too much, daydream (it’s more getting lost in my own thoughts than dreaming), and I’m very bad at finding things in looking for.

Huh, I do this all the time…

I did that this morning…

The IT guy who set up that backup deserves a hell of a bonus.

A lot of people would have been happy with their multi region resiliency and stopped there.

There were several months with people complaining their data was getting deleted and Google just ignored the whole thing until it blew up on hacker news.

The most surprising thing here is they got in contact with a human in Google cloud to resolve the issue.
