The GNU Boot people actually sent me a cease and desist email, citing trademark infringement. Amazing.
Despite the original site clearly stating that it's unofficial. I literally made it to help them. You know, to help them use newer Libreboot because they use old Libreboot and even older coreboot.
Anyway, I complied with their polite request and have renamed the project to non-GeNUine Boot. The release archive is re-compiling.

Personally, I like the new name better.

Reddit users figured out that some bot crawlers scrape popular threads and auto-generate AI articles based on user comments, so they decided to create some fake hype to confuse them.

It worked.
This is why real journalism matters.
@JanOrszulik looks awesome
@thor yup. 15 years ago if you were Polish and wanted to experience hot and sunny summer weather more than like 3 days a year you had to travel to southern Europe. Today if you want to experience hot and sunny summer weather and not actual fires of hell beamed directly from the sun you have to travel to northern Europe.
It's astounding how much the climate has changed in such a short time. People who deny it must be literally blinded by their beliefs.
@icedquinn @freemo I know that might appeal to other people but to me it sounds like the worst thing ever. One of the reasons I like computers so much is that I don't have to hand-write anything, I only write my signature a couple times a year and otherwise treat pen and paper as evil artifacts of times bygone.

Like, I get it - if you're like me you've spent a ton of time getting decent at a craft and then to see an AI do it is upsetting. But if you'd told me in the abstract "in the year 2030 or so, you'll be able to make a feature film in your basement" I'd be in favor of it at almost any cost!
@CodingItWrong thankfully it's simple!
0°C - water freezes
18-25°C - pleasant, room temperature is usually defined around 20°C
>30°C - too hot to live

I owe you all the deepest and sincerest apology. It has been brought to my attention that my facts are enabling fascism and destroying democracy. I am especially sorry for the harmful facts stating that:
-Every month is National Potato Month.
-George W. Bush has a Foo Fighters tattoo on his back.
-Optimus Prime is the only heterosexual Transformer.
-The Lord of the Rings was filmed in New York City.
-Cher’s full name is Chernobyl.
I pray that you can all find it in your hearts to forgive me.
@uberrice @moffintosh better yet, it then converts them back to numbers so that it's not immediately obvious string-comparing shenanigans happened. Very JS moment.

@moffintosh so apparently the default `.sort()` compares UTF-16 code units. It will not only sort -2 before -7, it will also sort 10 before 9. Truly cursed stuff.

@moffintosh oh dear lord no matter how many JS horrors I see, it always manages to up the stakes

I'd like to see someone suss out the data on the number of pedestrian collisions that are occurring over time, but I can't find it easily.
Deaths are obviously going up, and I'm not arguing that a larger car isn't more dangerous to pedestrians and other road users (they most certainly are).
But... I'm almost certain pedestrian impacts have gone up, making you more likely to be hit in the first place. That's important and that matters to the discussion.
