Not too good. They’re currently governed by a criminal fundamentalist, they deny their citizens basic human rights, they’re loosing their war in the middle east and they’re getting more and more isolated on the world stage.

Oh, you were asking about the IS?

You’re right, I’m sorry. I must have forgotten about how Iran started the war by invading Florida.

Maybe I’m slightly pissed by people claiming that the US military doesn’t kill children. I’m even more pissed by the US military killing children, though.

EDIT: Fixed the caption of the second image. Yōsuke Yamahata is the name of the photographer, not the photographee.

Back in my youth, we used to joke about people who said that they used Linux 6.9, because they obviously weren’t. They used Slackware 6.9 or SuSE 6.7 but didn’t understand the difference between Linux and a Linux distribution. I could never have dreamt that I’d actually live to a time where Linux 7.1 is a thing.

EDIT: Funny sidenote: Slackware jumped directly from version 3 to 7, because other distros used higher version numbers and people kept asking the Slackware developer, why his distro was so outdated and when he would finally update it to the modern Linux v7.

Interestingly, at the height of the cold war we had the highest military spendings, but at the same time our social security systems were in a better position and housing was affordable . So I say: Let’s increase welfare spending and lower the housing prices in order to get a better funded military.

When I’m on the toilet, I use a client app on my phone, but when I’m at my desk, I use my desktop and the web ui. Why would I use an app there?

Actually, they had a revolution because they were loosing the war, not the other way round. Just as Germany did not loose WW1 because they had a revolution, but they had a revolution because they lost the war. It was a famous conspiracy theory among fascist and monarchists, that Germany would have won otherwise, leading to some unfortunate events 20 years later.

Russia didn’t win World War I, nor the Afghanistan war. Both would have been wars of attricion, according to my understanding.

Wrong. If more processing power is used for displaying the spinner, then the actual task will take longer, thus the spinner will be displayed for a longer time, so the spinner becomes even more useful.

Not vibecoded, completely vibed:

while(working) {
   chatgpt.prompt("Please generate an image similar to the current spinner image, but rotated a slight bit more to the right.");
}

Their fix will probably be, adding “Give a quick answer, don’t think too hard” to the prompt.

No, the thing I mean is much worse. I don’t dare saying it’s name, but it’s a social network by **rk *uckerber*

I don’t think anyone will suffer if they don’t see this (mildly interesting) post because they have chosen to hide nsfw content. I think anyone who decides to hide nsfw stuff has only themselves to blame if they miss the most interesting stuff.

I find this “don’t censor obscenities here, whe’re not on F*c*book” mentality just as annoying as the censoring itself. If you don’t like the way someone is writing, don’t read it. There are millions of other posts for you.

A solar conjunction of mars happens every 26 month and takes about two weeks. That’s the perfect time to install Windows updates and reboot the system. At least that feels as if it also takes two weeks.
