Don’t worry about not being able to work because of a bad update

Never happened to me in 20+ years… I seriously wonder what some of y’all have been doing that this is a major concern.

No

Yeah - this is very strange to me since it seems like that’s the bigger issue. Everything outside of $HOME is managed by a package manager of sorts. But all the stuff in $HOME is where the mess happens. distrobox does let you set an alternative home dir which is good. It seems like they should at least specify a separate XDG_CONFIG_HOME by default - then I could use my login scripts but application configs (for well-behaved applications at least) would be separated.

it’s the people that had their art used without their permission to train the AI.

This is the least coherent argument I keep seeing against AI art… Every art student in the world trains on the works of other artists. They explicitly study the works of great masters to learn their techniques. But when an “evil corporation™” does it it’s now theft.

It’s literally wanting the laws to reflect who is doing something rather than wanting them to be applied fairly.

Yes, photographers, who held their camera, who spent years honing their craft, learning the ins and out of the art of photography, who put their bodies in the field to capture real life, yes, they should be able to copyright their work.

Pull out your phone. Open the camera app. Click the button. You just did an art.

A child cannot be given a camera and be tasked to produce the exact same quality photo of a professional photographer- and succeed.

Um. A macaque did. And every photo a child takes with a smartphone is considered to be sufficiently creative as to be a copyrightable work. It doesn’t need to be “good” to be art.

“What is art” can be a difficult question. But “how difficult was it to create it” is not the answer.

That sounds pretty awesome.

I like jbake. Create templates, pages are either html or markdown. Pretty easy to use.

This is like when people tell others that they eat food “wrong”. It’s what she likes, not what you like.

Am I stupid? I had no idea there was any symbolism in those numbers.

This could be an issue on like a college campus or something. Under those circumstances one should definitely be running a host-based firewall though.

Sir, the submarine dived perfectly!

Excellent, how did it fare when it came back up?

Up…? Uh…

I’ve always been uncomfortable lying to children…

I never did like the CDE style window decorations, but I do rather miss the old school docks.

There’s a couple similar photos from 2022 posted to Reddit by the same photographer (meaning the same person posted these two, not that it’s necessarily the same person who posted the one above):

• https://www.reddit.com/r/NatureIsFuckingLit/comments/v9fkqq/i_had_the_unique_opportunity_to_recreate_this/

They’re honestly probably the only ones who would buy it. Without Jones’ “celebrity” propping it up it’s basically just a scam dick-pills company which are a dime a dozen. Who’s going to invest in that?

The Onion should totally buy it.

I’d be tempted to just run it on port 443 so it looks like normal web traffic… Would raise fewer eyebrows than “what’s all this traffic going to some random port” (depending on how well the network is monitored - and it’s probably not well monitored at all). I’ve used ssh to do stuff like this in the past (use -D to enable a SOCKS proxy through a ssh tunnel).

Frankly I’d be more concerned about the laptop itself being scanned depending on the spyware the school uses to monitor usage.

Very true.

Again - my point being made. Why even mention it if not to poison the well?
