it seems the ai boosters really dislike to be reminded that openai and anthropic are working very closely with the concentration camp administrators.

I still can't even that my now nearly 80 year old mom has been on Fedora on a thinkpad e520 (2011) for a decade and it all just works.

I checked her laptop just now and it's fully up to date on fedora 43, so she's done like 20 version upgrades autonomously too. The battery has degraded a little but the whole thing still works fine and she's very happy with it.

This is how things should be, this is peak computing tbh.

I often think that there will be an equilibrium reached in the end, for all tech, and like always, people will say: "see, the nay-sayers weren't right." But actually the nay-sayers managed to shift the balance until it was more or less all-right. And sometimes the fight takes decades. And sometimes the balance is distributed unevenly. But the important thing is this: Just because the world is not going to turn the way I want, that doesn't mean I have to shut up. My voice is part of what makes up public opinion.

Anyway, that's how I feel on a good day.

It’s pretty weird, not to mention hilarious, that when a true fourth generation programming language finally arrived, it was Markdown.

Devuan it is then. (Edit: or not, ugh…)

Scheme man pages? Yes!

The abundance of man pages is one of the reasons Perl is great. All the packages also serve as man pages!

I miss this aspect in all other programming languages.

When you post things on Instagram, Facebook, and X, this is what they look like to people who don’t use those platforms.
