This is a fine example of a completely pointless, stupid, BRAIN-FUCKING-DEAD application of AI. The UNIX file command has existed for decades. It works well and it's fast.

But for "security" purposes, we need to make a program 1000x as big, 100x as slow, and that uses orders of magnitude more electricity so our email security software can distinguish text/json from text/jsonl

We have truly jumped the AI shark.

"We are so DETERMINED to hurt people by denying them affordable healthcare that we're also determined to hurt them by causing travel chaos!!!" -- The GOP.

Nothing like spreading a little fear to goose your sales, right? "Oh, you don't want to be left behind in the race for AI..."

Because if you have extensive, reliable public transit, you don't need self-driving cars, which are simply toys to increase traffic.

Thanks! I was waiting for the MAGA types to crawl out from under the rocks.

Yeah, we don't want anybody with actual critical thinking...

It's much better for this stupid AI bubble to burst now than it will be in a year's time, and it'll be better to burst in a year's time than in two year's time.

The longer it lasts, the worse it will be.

Well, this greatly increases my confidence in Aardvark.

Another rule: ISPs are required to send internal network diagrams, passwords, keys and certificates to Vladimir Putin.

Wow. Well, that's going to make YouTube suck less, for sure. /s

I just won't go to the US any more. Problem solved. If I want to go somewhere warm in winter, Portugal or Spain are nice. Or St. Maarten. Or any number of other places.

We're not getting rewards anyway, so meh.

So does Debian, doesn't it? I thought GNOME was the default Debian desktop.

Yes, I understand what you're saying, but being on Facebook doesn't prevent people from impersonating you.

The only difference is that if you are already on Facebook, then a clone you trying to friend someone you're already connected to looks suspicious. But even then, I bet there's a 50% or more chance that someone will think "Oh, I guess OP re-created his/her FB account and I'll accept the friend request."

It's a giant mess.

You can delete it. There's a separate procedure for deleting vs simply making dormant, which is what it sounds like you did.
