Seems pretty clear to me that he's a full blown sociopath. I know it's bad form to diagnose people online but the guy basically prides himself on it and makes no attempt to hide it. He just …

The fear porn around this all has been horrible. I work in Cybersecurity and Mythos is all the vendors will talk about because they want to sell something. It started the day of the announcement which…
comment
Cursive is only useful for fountain pens. It was a sign of its times and is totally pointless and even counterproductive today. I get really sick of people exclaiming how important cursive is today wh…

Can only hope. Anthropics usage caps are horrible

He literally said "It's the rolling release cycle" he is not correct
comment
Hey.com email does this minus the blocking of html/css. You basically thumps up or thump down a sender and they either go away forever or you happily trust what comes from them. It's been hi…

The AUR has absolutely nothing to do with the rolling release cycle
comment
> I'm actually more surprised that such compromise hasn't happened earlier. This is like the 3rd or 4th time. It's been ongoing and persistent for the last 2 years with frequent AUR …
comment
The week before they released Mythos to governments they had all their source code stolen. It's all about improving their image and creating propoganda.

300 years ago when I was in high school I had a friend choose to go the HVAC trade school route instead of college. He chose the hardest school in the country where they did most things manually so th…

> Sometimes I wonder what the desktop landscape would look like today if that branch of software gained wider adoption in the free software communities. :-) It's derived from GNUStep which was…

My first love was WindowMaker :)
comment
They aren't dropping X11, they are only dropping it in their new login manager. Change the login manager and it will continue to work fine for now.

I remember when it first came out. Very impressive at the time. I was never a fan though personally, I always hated the look of KDE. I used it recently on CachyOS for fun and it worked great, just not…
comment
I recently canceled my Claude subscription. The token costs are outrageous. I maxed my 5 hour limit with a single request. If they fix that I'll reconsider but as things sit today Claude is a pig…
comment
Tribalism at it's worst. It's like the Coke and Pepsi comparisons from years past.
comment
> Mass layoffs and starvation are a problem society needs to solve collectively. Very much disagree with this. This is capitalizing the profits and socializing the debts. They do not get to profit …

This is great food for thought, thank you

What makes you think prices will drop? Everyone I’ve spoken to believes they will only skyrocket. Genuinely curious
comment
The closer people live to the consequences of their decisions the more rational they become. Until leaders(and I use that term loosely) are held accountable, the insanity will continue.
comment
It’s not coercion. You’re free to not use it, or alternatively do what these folks did, write your own. Coercion would be forcing people to use it through some mechanism, which clearly isn’t possible …
comment
Not always no and to your example with cars we've seen the results as upticks in roadrage. The car is treated as a safe little bubble and the other cars aren't people, they are just cars and…
comment
I was thinking the other day about animals in their natural habitat versus in captivity. Remove a gorilla from its jungle and stick it in a small zoo enclosure and it tends to go insane at worst, at b…
comment
Strongly disagree. He sat in front of a room full of Archbishops and told them, straight faced, that the worlds about to have mass layoffs and starvation and that the Church should feel responsible fo…

It's almost like their business model was written by ChatGPT back when it was telling people to put rocks on pizza
comment
It tells you a lot about your execs and how little they care, either for their employees or their customers. The quarterly profits are their God and they will worship at the altar of the stock price. …
comment
Watch Christopher Olah bloviate at the Vatican during the Magnifica Humanatis launch. It's truly nauseating. I've never seen such a ridiculous speech in my life. Between him and the CEO, I…
comment
I feel the same as the article author. Worse, every Diary/Journaling app is now including AI, so the place where original thoughts are supposed to be written for posterity is now also AI generate…
