Is… is that person AI?

As we learned from trump during covid: If you don’t look into a problem it does not exist.
It’s a fact!

I agree with so much that has been said here. VLC, Linux as a whole (or GNU/Linux, of course) and many more. Obsidian is sadly not open source but its free and it’s absolutely amazing!

What I haven’t found yet is a FOSS (or even just “free as in beer”) replacement for MS Project. I want to plan out a top level view of what we have to do as a team to reach some goal, assign multiple team members to one “task”, allocate a set amount of their time and see at what times we might be over or under capacity. The FOSS planing tools I’ve seen mostly work in “shifts” or let you assign one task to one person. But we’re in R&D and if I plan for 40 hours of “conceptual work” over the span of a month and assign Sarah and Steve to this with 20 hours each I don’t want to babysit their shifts. They will do the work when it suits them.

The only one I’ve seen that could do what I need is ProjectLibre but the FOSS desktop version has been abandoned a while ago and is still very buggy.

Sorry for placing this here but maybe someone knows something…

Was looking for this comment. Was not disappointed.

“Ceparoo” is indeed a great state!
Also I like that it settled the dumb “Gulf of Mexico” thing. I think we can all be happy with “Martnla”.

Absolutely!

I love that he didn’t even give a hint. The other person might have gone about teir day being happy to have helped.

Nooooooo I thought they were the ones NOT doing that. That was kind of their USP for me…

Wow that was quite an encyclopedic post. Thank you for the good read!

I usually press the “+1 minute” button and then the “pause” button. That way it stays in the tray of my phone and I’m too OCD to not get rid of it as soon as possible. Then of course you have to adhere to the rule of only removing the timer once you did what you set the timer for…

Know thyself and set a timer. I don’t allow myself to do stuff like that without setting an alarm.

It did in fact make me think and I thank you for that. You won’t like the outcome of that thinking, though.

First of all, I’m far far away from being “mobilized”. I do agree that you could call what the killer did “terrorism” though, as he seeks to influence behavior by mortal fear (terror). Wheter the end justifies the means (as some would argue for example for "eco-terrorism) I don’t know. But I see how some people may feel like all other, more civil, avenues to change their life and the system for the better have been blocked off. But again, I’m far from being “mobilized” as in encouraging such behavior or even picking up a gun myself.

Now why did I laugh at the response? Simple: It’s morbid and unexpected, which are two aspects that I often find humorous.

Do I feel bad about laughing? No. The reason and the main difference to the “hate speech” you refer to are twofold: First, this joke is punching up, not punching down, as hate speech usually is. Second, hate speech is usually about what people are (black, asian, transgender, gay). This guy in contrast was loathed for what he did. That’s a major difference, since you can’t change what you are but what you do is in your hands.

I would love to hear a response from you but the condescension and smugness in your tone of writing makes me think that this won’t make you think.

Holy fuck. Not saying I agree (also not saying I don’t) but I laught at that answer.

Never ever believe companies when they make promises like “we will have x by date y”. Especially if date y is further away than maybe the end of the year. Shell also made big promises and then quietly dropped them. Of course the making of the promise came with a big PR budget. The dropping of the plans was silent. Weird how that works…

I also at first thought it’s not that bad, because it looks like the main part of the computer is “hovering”, because it stands on that round portion. But then I saw that the button is on the backside! Why? That way you have to reach around everything, making it impossible to fit the thing into some smaller space and still use it. If it was on the bottom but in the front you would still have your beloved button-less design but the button would still be pretty accessible.

I wanted to nitpick on the “other side of the world” part and tell you that NK actually shares a border with Russia. But you’re actually right, Russia is just that massive that its border with Ukraine might as well be on the other side of the earth.

As much as I’m still skeptical about “AI taking all of our jobs” anytime soon, interactions like these still blow my mind…

And a metal scream and a metal growl are also two different things that both exist. That’s why I assumed they were talking about the former. ¯_ (ツ)_/

Not if done correctly. Metal singers do it all day long. It’s all about technique and heeding the warning signs when you’re not doing it right.

If you’re talking about the metal music kind of screaming look up “vocal fry” or “fry screaming” on YouTube. It’s a technique, and it’s surprisingly not that loud. Like you wouldn’t use a fry scream to shout at your friend a block away but on a recording or through the mic on stage you can’t tell so it looks and sounds like the singer is screaming their lungs out.

Also if you try it yourself make sure to stop before it hurts! If done correctly you can fry scream all day. If done incorrectly and ignoring the warnings signs you could end up needing surgery on your larynx. Have fun!
