Honestly, I didn’t know Artimus was happening. That’s how busy the news is. I saw memes about astronauts and Outlook, assumed it was the ISS, and only when I saw the pictures of the Earth from the moon was I like “Wait, what? We have humans going to the moon right now? And they’re already there? When did that happen?”

They’re living out their dreams, and doing something very rare for our species, and I wouldn’t recognize them if they were in line in front of me at the grocery store. Huh.

But the middle part is, if I’m not mistaken “England French Toast” (in Japanese) not “English”. But maybe that’s how it’s said and I’m just wrong.

You know that classic strategy: they beg you for mercy, and so you make a deal with them that gives them everything they want, more than they’ve ever had before, and you get nothing you wanted in return? Classic desperation…

I was going to say “isn’t Motorola owned by Google though?”, but then I looked it up. They’re owned by Lenovo. But they were owned by Google! In 2014, which is 12 years ago and I’m going to go crumble to dust now…

Oh wow, for the hundredth time in a row? What are the odds!?

I’m pretty sure all the Linux filesystems I’ve ever used don’t care about tilde. You might have to escape it or quote it if you’re typing it into a shell, since the shell might try to replace it with your homedir, but I don’t think the FS cares.

On my ext4 FS I was able to touch me~ow just now with no issues.

I don’t know a lot about stuff, but is there a reason you’re backing up the files off the disks, rather than imaging the disks into an ISO or something? I’ve never owned a 360 disk, so maybe there’s some reason I don’t know.

“That’ll still count as a wish though”

I know this is a stereotype, and doesn’t apply to all men or women, but I think it’s important. I think the woman thinks “if I’m important to you, you should represent me at my best”, which I could maybe see as a form of respect or something.

But the dude is like “I don’t love you for your best, I love you at your silliest. This is a photo of you no one else has, and gives me the feeling of when we’re together. Anyone can use your LinkedIn headshot or some photo from Instagram of you posing over some drinks.”

I’m not sure stereotypical women have noticed their guys while setting up an Instagram photo, but they’re not cherishing those moments 😛

violet08: Something something if they like stress, the rockclimbers should come climb me.

Thank you, thank you. I’ll be here until I’m not.

I can least kinda appreciate this guy’s approach. If we assume that AI is a magic bullet, then it’s not crazy to assume we, the existing programmers, would resist it just to save our own jobs. Or we’d complain because it doesn’t do things our way, but we’re the old way and this is the new way. So maybe we’re just being whiny and can be ignored.

So he tested it to see for himself, and what he found was that he agreed with us, that it’s not worth it.

Ignoring experts is annoying, but doing some of your own science and getting first-hand experience isn’t always a bad idea.
