I knew this part of the story would come one day, given the bits we’ve seen of girl/techno-mage grown up and without fish.

Still, why does it have to hurt so much to finally see it?

Thank you for reminding me of my own mortality.

I really despise how Claude’s creators and users are turning the definition of “skill” from “the ability to use [learned] knowledge to enhance execution” into “a blurb of text that [usefully] constrains a next-token-predictor”.

I guess, if you squint, it’s akin to how biologists will talk about species “evolving to fit a niche” amongst themselves or how physicists will talk about nature “abhorring a vacuum”. At least they aren’t talking about a fucking product that benefits from hype to get sold.

and to ensure that artists can afford the necessities, add universal basic inco… OK shit I’m at it again.

It’s “funny” how it always seems to come down to this people shouldn’t need to make someone else richer just to survive…

Someone has apparently deemed it kind of bad.

Shame, I would have liked Serial Experiments Lain 2.

I guess they balance out the 4 or 5 users that are making a high volume of anti-china posts?

bat’s binary is packaged as batcat on debian because bacula-console-qt already uses that name

Pretty easy to sum up in 1-2 sentences…

Then by all means, give them your 1-2 sentences per DE so that they “only” need to include them!

Frankly, I think it’s a lot harder than you’re making it out to be, especially over such a large range of DEs. Not that the suggestion is without merit, just that the assumed difficulty of making it work as intended (i.e. actually helping a new Linux user pick the “right” desktop environment for them) seems underestimated.

Maybe Cinnamon can get away with “it’s like windows 95”, but Gnome and i3 are quite different from anything the target audience has ever experienced.

Lovely article; short and to-the-point without being abrupt. A choice excerpt:

For long‑time fans, this moment might well feel like a disruption, but it’s also a quiet milestone. Take it as a reminder that the worlds we love are built by people, and that even legends eventually step back.

Great summary of the current state of things and of the actors involved. There’s a certain flavor of “oh no, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions!” to this situation that’s quite disheartening.

It’s like a reverse Buckethead

Y’a des trucs particuliers de Flask qui te semblent mal approprié à ce cas d’usage? Aurais-tu une autre brique logicielle à conseiller à sa place, par ex FastAPI ou encore Django?

I’m not sure how the comments are counted, but there may be an increase in comments in Lemmy communities made by accounts from other fediverse software like piefed and mastodon.

Je suis donc pas le seul à avoir fait le lien. C’est rassurant et terrifiant en même temps.

The left need to align the police with their interest.

How do you propose they/we do that when the police have functionally been antithetical to the left’s interests across most, if not all, of recorded history? It’s not like this is an optics issue; state-sanctioned monopoly on physical violence is literally counter to the entire point of being “to the left”.

Nevermind, I guess…

This study is over 6 months old, why is Fortune.com only writing about it now?

The accounts that post to !unix_surrealism@lemmy.sdf.org and !funhole@lemmy.sdf.org are pretty great. I don’t know any of their IRL names (nor do I wish to, to some extent).
