  • I suspect it’s more likely that Meta won’t exist in any recognizable way in 2035 than anyone makes a huge profit on A.I. in the next decade. There will be advancements, to be sure, and compute will (hopefully) get cheaper and more efficient but 2035 seems like an Elon-Musk-level optimistic timeline.

    I’m sort of agnostic on A.I. I don’t like it for much now but certainly see its potential. But look how long it took for The Internet to be universally adopted. And that’s assuming researchers even can solve the really hard last 20% of problems.

    But someone smarter than me once put it better:

  • And consenting heterosexuals in the U.S. Blow jobs are also considered sodomy, even amongst consenting adults.

    “Sodomy is defined as any sexual act involving the sex organs of one person and the mouth or anus of another.”

    The Supreme Court (finally) struck down the remaining anti-sodomy laws in 2003 in Lawrence v. Texas but most states had either repealed their laws or had their law struck down by their state’s Supreme Court. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodomy_laws_in_the_United_States

  • DOGE was never about cutting spending and I hate when the media frames it that way. I don’t know what they teach in journalism school but pretending to not know what time it is has to be a required course. It’s like when they use “free speech absolutist” (even ironically) to describe Elon Musk. He was never that and if you believed it and are disappointed, I hope you were just not paying attention. Motherfucker was being sued for discrimination and promising flight attendants horses to get his dick sucked and people act like he betrayed his formerly-held values.

  • It’s easy to be cynical. I do it all the time. But an autocrat with 20% approval is much, much different than one with 80% approval.

    If nothing else, protests and direct action made Elon Musk sad and that’s a side quest complete.

  • It just makes it easier to backup your customizations. I copy a lot of my settings in there. I use Vim (which isn’t necessarily the best choice but I’m old) so I just put my .vimrc stuff in my folder. Then you just have to backup one folder and, if nothing else, your CLI will stay the same.

    People argue over emacs and vim (as text editors) and systemd vs init but it’s your machine. That’s part of what makes Linux fun.

  • It’s just alphabetical so the scripts run in the right order. The numbers serve like “A” or “B” except you can add new scripts between one and ten if it comes up and your “10-whatever” file is a mess. It’s sort of a convention on Linux but not everyone does it.

    Then you just add

     
        
    for FILE in ~/.shellrc.d/*; do
        source $FILE
    done
    
      

    To your ~./bashrc (or your preferred shell). Replace shellrc.d with whatever you choose. I use shellrc.d on servers and stuff because the dot d is also kind of a convention for naming folders. People have their own opinions about that but don’t worry about it until you have strong opinions.

  • Edit: I made a joke about the free radicals being a good band name if it wasn’t taken but I was thinking of Anderson Paak and the Free Nationals.

    We at this account regret the error and everyone involved has been catapulted as punishment for the faux pas. May we have the strength, fortitude, and cunning to make it back to shore.

  • Personally, I put a ~/.get-going or whatever you want to call it and put all my scripts in there. Name them with numbers first like “10-first.sh” “20-second.sh” and then just put a line in .bashrc or .zshrc or whatever you like. Aliases and any critical stuff last. Then one line in your rc file can include them all.

    I made some bash scripts for distro-hopping that are now [undiscloded] years old so I can basically backup a few folders — the second being ~/bin where I put AppImages and stuff and sometimes ~/Development (I don’t always need the dev one because backups of those exist as repos) folder if I need to reinstall. A lot of people backup their whole home directory. But I prefer my method and that’s why we use Linux. I don’t want my settings for every app coming with me when I go on a new journey. Choose your own adventure.

  • I don’t know. I live in New Orleans and they had a Red Lobster in the suburbs and someone is trying to put Chick Fil’A restaurants all over town. (The someone is literally a guy who got rich via owning a garbage truck company.)

    Tourists like shitty fast food sometimes. I don’t know why people get the worst fried chicken in the city but people do. Some toddlers throw a fit if their dinner isn’t chicken nuggets.
