I'm not referring to the car... I'm referring to the revelation there are still people who think NFTs are somehow going to make them some money.

"Good day, eh? Welcome to the Great White North."

Take off, hoser.

Last I heard, Apple as actually given a fair bit of cooperation and support to Asahi Linux. The guy who until recently headed that project complained far more about the Linux kernel team than he did about Apple.

Note that I'm not saying he was right or wrong, just that he wasn't bitching all the time about recalcitrance at Apple's end.

I'd be curious what the breakdown is between 'addicts', in the compulsively-does-thing-despite-knowing-it-is-contrary-to-their-interests sense, and sad but locally reasonable behavior from people with tepid options.

'Addict' is a comparatively easy call to make when people are getting fired because they no-showed to play WoW; or spending all their time scrolling tiktok despite having a school or college worth of peers to socialize with; but if you are retired, less physically able to get out and about than you used to be, and at the age where your friends and peers are starting to die off, it seems like a much more open question whether having an engaging if ultimately rather hollow hobby is an 'addiction' or just a kind of depressing local maximum.

It's obviously not some ideal of perfected human flourishing; but if you are doing it because you don't really have things to do, rather than at the expense of things you have to do, that's not really classic addict behavior; just a mediocre hobby.

Could you help me understand the 'irony' here? Is saying impolite things about a dead guy the moral equivalent to being perhaps the most pivotal figure behind a war with an estimated half-million dead and a causus belli that was transparent bullshit; not to mention the elevation of extrajudicial torture to official policy? I'm not sure I follow.

And, if you'd like to expand on the 'political leanings' thing; I'd be more than happy to call anyone whose politics involve thinking that Cheney did a great job a monster as well; especially when it's so hard to argue that any of Cheney's ugliest aspects even paid off. Flirting with more expansive theories of the ends justifying the means can be a dangerous business; but, bare minimum, you can attempt to rank means by degree of atrocity and ends by degree of effectiveness; and on that score Cheney's work was honestly pretty shit.

Remember the 'Pax Americana' that the neocons assured us could be bombed into the fractious elements of the middle east? Lol. Bin Laden? Dude was chilling in an upmarket suburb in Pakistan while we were pissing away blood and treasure on hitting a mixture of hapless civilians and 'insurgents' who had the temerity to suggest that our puppet government was not the legitimate local administration in one peripherally involved country and one uninvolved one.

So, go ahead, please, explain your other level of irony. Tell us whose political loyalties are to this grade of not-even-effective violence. What'll it be?

Luckily, reliable sources assure me that he will be greeted as a liberator in hell; so things should go fine.

On a closed-source platform, all it takes is one malicious / bribed employee.

But really, this commercial wasn't that bad - for a commercial, anyway. Coke's older, more traditionally animated holiday ads over the past few decades have shared pretty much all the same shortcomings ("no consistent style, switching between attempted realism and a bug-eyed toony look, and the polar bears, panda, and sloth move unnaturally,") the blogger reported... it's a bit of a stretch to pin that on AI, in this case.

I still see captchas too. I'm wondering if a lot of this "post-captcha" stuff is Chrome only, since that browser still supports a lot of end-user-hostile activities while Firefox and Safari do not.

More winning! I'm getting tired of this!!

It's finally the Year of the Linux Steamtop!

That's fair. It is definitely the sort of thing you have to think about when you choose to rewrite a mature system, in whatever language.

But yeah, the fact this rewrite happened in rust appears to be irrelevant to this story... just like it was irrelevant to the CloudFlare "rewrite in rust leads to big speed-up" story yesterday.

Well, technically speaking - they can only get ONE date.

It seems to be.
