How about the US, period?

Their kids didn't. Treating everyone like an island is ultimately the purest form of the cancer that infects the US.

"those goals seem to be nearly impossible to attain"

Is it impossible to obtain - the national ethos sees absolutely no problem with the unbounded consolidation of wealth and power, so long as it is in the private sector.

The joke is the private sector is so powerful at this point, your public sector is just a sock with the private sector's hand up its ass.

That'll never change as long as the concept of even moderate, reasonable redistribution of wealth is a national non-starter. It's impressive watching the way the US twists itself this way and that, where everybody is just a temporarily embarrassed billionaire voting for less taxes, less spending to make their supposed future rich selves happy for when they finally join the billionaire class.

Did you understand anything in that marketdroid BS? I didn't.

All this screams to me is: avoid - avoid - avoid.

and summer is ultra-messed-up too here. We've had 2 days at 64 degrees this year, but otherwise it barely goes above 50. It's really rare here to have such a long, sustained bout of cold weather around midsummer.

"Sane people use C for that" for embedded systems? That's a very "all i know I leaned from Slashdot" definition of embedded systems you must have

The tech world isn't the "intellectual" class. It's the crass profit-at-all-costs business class. That's why they market AI: they know perfectly well AI is shit and nobody but corporate bean counters want it, but corporate bean counters is where the money is.

It's becoming a selling point.

Hell, I even watched a video leaked from some OnlyFans account that had the preamble "This content creator prides herself in making her own content herself entirely: no AI bullshit involved!" If the porn industry rejects it, you know it's bad for business.

Dunno if you're a programmer or not, but if you're not extensively testing and verifying what you wrote before you put it in production, you're doing it wrong.

You have to verify and test *all* code. LLMs are great for producing a bunch of boiler plate code that would take a long time to write and is easily testable. The claim that LLMs are useless for programming flies in the face of everything happening in the ivoriest of towers of programming these days. Professionals in every major shop in the world use it now as appropriate. Sorry that makes you mad. I'm not young either. I've been producing C++ on embedded systems used by millions of people for 20+ years. Nobody doing serious programming takes the "LLMs are useless" opinion seriously anymore.

I don't want AI slop in the kernel I rely on for work. Fuck that guy.

Sadly I run Sway.

As for RDP, if your internet is speedy enough, it's fine. I work remotely regularly and I RDP into my Linux box at work no problem.

including screen recording. TFA is incorrect on that one.

What it really, REALLY lacks is proper remoting. The best option available at the moment is wayvnc - i.e. VNC over a headless Wayland session. It works, but VNC sucks ass. There's no RDP support and there's no remote session greeter.

Fortunately, my only Wayland machine is a laptop, so it's not like I need to remote it a lot, if at all.

The only thing that resonates is the empty brains of vroom-vroom lovers.

Using Google - a company built entirely around ads and whatever vile things they have to do to increase ad revenues - to block ads. You gotta love it!

I genuinely want a pair of AR glasses.
At last a use case worth the hassle!
