Yeah, this sounds like some kind of jaded Transhumanist humiliation ritual.

If true as written, those 'monks' are without honor or reverence.

I got an Idea. How about locating and deleting data centers that host these things? Deleting them from existance.

Are there any tools to watch my lsmod, walk /lib/modules, and configure modprobe.d to deny loading anything I'm not using?

All of these exploits are in distro modules I'd never use.

Local access, unless you haven't patched apache this week, then it's remote access.

It looks like a omen to take up farming.

Maybe I should pull some of my 4TB nvme sticks and buy my kid a used car...

The OpenAI non-profit is alive and well and focused on the same hippy trippy dumbass research mission it has always been, the development of AGI and ensuring it benefits all humanity not an elite few. Whether Musk actually took that seriously or not is as irrelevant as his thoughts on colonizing Mars - THAT is the crazy he stuck his dick in, and that's what you need to hold him to account for. Whatever, it's his money, nobody took it from him.

If you don't like OpenAI paying for operations by selling subscriptions to coding tools, maybe you should ask them tonspin that dept off and use it to fund the AGI research that Musk donated to. Wait....

XX = ALWAYS female. No alternative. If you are healthy you have a womb and can bear babies. They are intrinsically connected. You have large gametes.
XY = ALWAYS male. No alternative. You cannot ever bear babies, no matter how healthy you are. You have small gametes.

If they ever dig up your body, this is how you will be identified. Your feelings have *nothing* to do with the matter. Nor does your sanity. They will 100% identify you according to the actual, empirical physical characteristics that make you male or female (or a genetic sport of some sort).

That you keep repeating the delusion just makes you delusionAL.
No matter how many times you repeat 1+1=3, it's still not true and never will be.

Facts > Feelings.

If you have XX chromosomes, you're female and thus a woman. Cutting off your tits or bolting on a Frankenphallus just makes you a woman with surgical alterations.
If you have XY chromosomes, you're male and thus a man. No amount of makeup, women's underwear, or stripteasing in front of children will change that.

Anything else is an aberration and, like a one-armed person or someone born without eyes, recognized defective. It doesn't make them less human, but the idea we should just pretend that's normal is a weird delusion.

It's not md5 collisions that are the problem here, it's poor passwords.

Which is something that we can't actually fix, and maybe have tried for the past 22 years.

As mentioned above, memory-hard algos are better than hashes now.

No, you're wrong. Period.
Being transgender, like any mental illness, requires sympathy and care - not pretend-endorsement for political points and virtue signaling.

It's no more deserving of "respect" than any other human being, but it is worthy of pity. Some wiring has gone wrong in their heads; that's not their fault.

It's not 2022. Only the truly dogmatic believes that silly shit any more.

I didn't say evolution considered anything an error.
That would be stupid, evolution is a process.

But certainly a mutation that causes insanity IS an error in human evaluation..that is, unless the insanity has a political faction, then we'll shriek 1+1=3 because, well, politics.

I love you guys.
Dawkins when attacking Christianity and religion is a super genius, insightful, brilliant ... Until the moment he departs from the canon, now he's a fucking liar and obviously stupid.

Impossible.... IMPOSSIBLE that you might be wrong.

The frothing left can't stop itself from the purity spiral, driving even your allies right. Dawkins himself had to start looking at his intellectual allies and realize they might be the baddies.

You are great. Keep it up. Never change and certainly never, ever doubt yourself.

There are two sexes. Period.
Anything else is, by definition, aberrant & basically broken. Yes, biology makes many errors. Usually they die. Sometimes they don't.

It doesn't mean transgenders should be mistreated, they deserve our pity and whatever help they can get to be happy in their lives.

But fortunately the world has moved on from this absurd delusion that if you really really really pretend you're a donkey, you MUST BE ONE. That's silly. And... basically insane.

The process is such that the IEEPA refunds will proceed with the liquidation of the imports.

Customs basically finally closes a file (liquidates) about 315d after the entry. So if something was imported on July 1 2025, then May 12 2026 it would liquidate.
Importers having filed their CAPE data (which was super easy, took me about 15 mins for more than 1200 entries), those entries will be flagged for the return of the IEEPA duties plus interest, which is a usual customs thing.

Note that 'issuing the refund' and getting the refund $ actually might take a bit. Some brokers are suggesting it might take up to 60d for the funds to flow, or, it could just be CBP is awaiting June1, as the White House still has a chance to protest the CITA court ruling until then. (There is no suggestion they will but still, better to wait then have to un-de-retro-re-bill people for refunds that need to come back or whatever.)

Short version, it's not like these companies will suddenly get a giant pile of refunds; they will trickle back at (approximately) the frequency they went out last year.

Honestly outside of people who do heavy 3d rendering, even a computer you use for your job just doesn't need to be that powerful.

As a programmer who sits at a screen for 8 hours a day, it took a lot of convincing for me to even give up my 10 year old workstation because it was pretty decent when it was purchased and as long as it had decent ram (it had 32GB) I was perfectly fine working on it. Having to reinstall was more of a headache that the benefit of getting a new system.

Hell my home/play machine is SIGNIFICANTLY more powerful than my work one.

I view my home computer like a Corvette and my work machine like a Corolla. At home I want fast - at work I just want dependable.
