This. People who think that the Republican party has been honorable in recent memory haven’t been paying attention. There have been honorable Republicans in my lifetime like John McCain, but the party as a whole has been little more than a cabal of grifters appealing to the worst parts of us with the sole purpose of enriching themselves and punishing the “other” in sociopathic glee. Trump didn’t start this. He just pulled off the mask and made it OK to speak and act openly.

Just happened to me yesterday. I needed a 12v power adapter to trigger cable, but I had thrown out the previous one thinking I would never use it.

There is no AI Revolution. There never was. Generative AI was sold as an automation solution to companies looking to decrease labor costs, but’s it’s not actually good at doing that. Moreover, there’s not enough good, accurate training material to make generative AI that much smarter or more useful than it already is.

Generative AI is a dead end, and big companies are just now starting to realize that, especially after the Goldman-Sachs report on AI. Sam Altman is just a snake oil saleman, another failing-upwards executive who told a bunch of other executives what they wanted to hear. It’s just now becoming clear that the emperor has no clothes.

The images are from Slay the Princess. Highly recommended.

Nickelback isn’t a bad band. They were just over marketed and over played to death. People don’t hate the band so much as that aspect of the music industry.

Speaking of systemd boot, I tried it on a recent install, and my system only booted properly about 20% of the time. I switched back to grub, and it’s been rock solid since.

Gentlemen, I give you the god of the gaps.

How do you get membership to a private tracker when they are always invite only?

My favorite scene has to be when Aerith’s theme played when you got to her house.

You don’t even need a Microsoft account. You can get around it with by using Rufus to create the Windows 11 installer.

This is starting to sound a bit too much like AM.

Why?

HBO’s Rome. Highly recommended.

True bread, for true Romans!
