Is it bad form to reply to followers-only posts? I ask because I usually don't get any response from the other person, be it a reply or an acknowledgement of any kind.
@louis@emacs.ch If you had a hard time with Go, let me tell you about the kind of infrastructure I have to maintain to test a simple PHP library.
I hate the _Fire Emblem_ series with a passion! In all their games there's always one battle where difficulty takes a huge exponential leap and I'm sick of it. “Oh, so you've managed to keep your whole party alive up until now? Let''s try this new approach where you have to fight several bosses so powerful that, in sheer desperation, you'll have to sacrifice your friends if you want to move on.” “Oh, you managed to beat that with only a few losses? And you thought you could go back to base and regroup somehow? Why don't we take your powers away and have you fight another battle just for the thrill of it? But this time with dragons!”
@veer66 I assumed the point of working remotely was that you could do it from wherever you wanted.
That said, I've seen offers where they say: “Anywhere in our timezone.” Is that what you mean?
@veer66 Are workers from Myanmar banned anywhere?
@veer66 Yes. The difference is that the scale of US propaganda is global. Also, China is a totalitarian state, but the US is supposed to be a democracy, so it should at least act like one, but it doesn't.
@veer66 Or it could be that the US government is seeing how certain content is becoming more and more viral on the platform (pro-Palestinian accounts, bin Laden's Letter to the American People, etc.) and wants to censor it. Maybe TikTok is defeating their propaganda and they're mad about it.
@lxsameer In fiction, Alien's Ripley. In history, Hypatia of Alexandria.
@coolboymew Sorry, I forgot to mention that I know nothing about finance and you should never trust anything I say on the matter. I'm basically ChatGPT when it comes to finance. I can sort of sound knowledgeable, but deep down I'm full of shit.
@coolboymew Try to get a variable rate mortgage, if you can. I don't know how it is in Canada, but, in Europe, rates are pretty high, so they're bound to go down sooner than later.
I'm not fond of people who say: “Don't reinvent the wheel.” I say: “Yes, reinvent the wheel! Maybe yours is better. Maybe your work leads to some awesome, unexpected discovery on roundness or friction or aerodynamics.”
Regardless of your opinion on its outcome, this is how a referendum should be presented to the people:
I'll believe an LLM is on the road to AI when, instead of bullshitting its way through the conversation, it asks: “What do you mean by that?”
@convexer What about it?
@convexer I'm going to assume his distro installs stuff on /home, which is a big no-no for me.
@convexer Never happened to me in twenty five years. How did he managed to do it?
Whenever someone tells you: “Why do you need so many partitions? There's no reason to have more than a root one, another for /boot and a third one for swap. And even that may be overkill.”, just reply: “I know this guy whose ass has been saved many times by having separate /opt, /usr/local, /var/log, /var/www, /root and /home partitions, so, when things went wrong and he was forced to reinstall, the data on those partitions was always safe.”
Seriously, it makes no sense to me to have essentially _no_ partitions. That seems to me like Windows thinking.
@sendadeapolo Me alegro de verte por aquí de nuevo. En cualquier caso, siempre es bueno (incluso necesario) tener una alternativa por si acaso.
