Comment Gibberish (Score 4, Interesting) 83

I've never used Spotify much, but on Amazon Music my favorite method is is to just say random or gibberish words to Alexa. Something like "Alexa, play blah blah blah." It will try to interpret my words and usually find something that I've never heard before. It's the only way to find something out of the ordinary since it tries really hard to play the same music I've heard 1000x before. I've found some interesting music using that method.

Comment OrangeGPT (Re: inventor of WWW) (Score 1) 45

"I invented everything wonderful! I even invented Al Gore, believe me! Radios and TV's used to have big glass tits and wankers that glowed orange, such a wonderful color, but they were big and heavy, like Rosie O'Donnell, so nobody wanted them.

So I got one of my bone spurs med tablets, soaked it in Diet Coke for 3 days, stuck wires into it, and it became the very first Trans Sister. I hated that woke name so called it Capacitor instead, and even made it flux. Some say it can go back in time, which I may do to get my Nobel Prizes back, that Hannibal Lecter and Autopen Joe stole from me. Everyone knows they are Filthy Antifa Crooks!"

Comment Re: Missing Rust Language Specification (Score 1) 70

> Bruh. Apt already relies on Perl, which has no formal language specification. What nonsense is this?

You are right, which is why I don't think this is a huge deal.

Though perl5 compatibility back to c.2000 is pretty good.

Today's rust code most likely won't run in 2050 on modern compilers.

But perl4 code doesn't run well today either.

Yet nothing in trixie needs to run anything from buzz - so as long as everything works within a version or two it's hard to imagine anybody being negatively affected.

Comment Re:What will make up that lost capacity (Score 1) 88

I have a UPS package shipped Overnight/Saturday Delivery on Friday and it now appears to be on a truck near Chicago. It was originally scheduled to transit from South Dakota to New England.

New delivery date is Tuesday. I hope the sender gets his money back!

(I didn't need it that quickly but the sender was making good on a delivery date guarantee, at a loss of his profits).
