Probably some use cases for “regular” users. Someone mentioned music production, though that’s probably more professional than hobby.

To my understanding, you mostly need real time performance for specialty cases where timing is absolutely critical. So I guess if you were building custom drones or custom control boards for drones, you could use real time Linux for that now since the timing could be guaranteed.

Doesn’t say, but I am curious. They said their workarounds broke other workarounds which caused a lot of implementation delay, but I’m not sure what the actual compromise was to address all that.

Answer probably lies somewhere in the kernel maintainer’s mailing list, I’d imagine. Just not equipped to search for it right at the moment.

Security tip: Never post your home address on social media.

Not gonna lie: I would absolutely use the pattern buffer as my own personal junk drawer. I’d have a pattern buffer full of those portable pattern buffers from Discovery. Each of those full of random stuff I’d otherwise carry if I could.

“Why, yes, I do need my kayak with me at all times. You never know when you might need that!”

Hell, I’d probably work out how to turn the pattern buffer into a man cave. 😆

Or if I’m ever in a sticky situation, pull a Dale Gribble “Pocket Sand” but with a pattern buffer full of junk that all comes out at once.

I bet the pattern buffers on DS9 are all chock full of Windex.

Hate to say it (re: security theater), but I think that is correct. I’ve read articles stating a drop in crime in places where they just have a cardboard cutout of police officers in the window.

If you know, you know (and if you don’t, you should; it’s a great movie)

“Christian love” is a hell of a drug.

I apparently missed that. Nice catch.

I was wondering that myself, but I honestly think it’s just a coincidence. Neither of those were ever mentioned again.

Arissa was right: Odo does have ‘bedroom eyes’

Didn’t realize that was the same thing. There’s a lot of fuckery going on right now, and I guess I just lost track.

Not a word about what, if anything, is going to be done about that.

The Guardian reports that the emails reveal a “behind-the-scenes network of county election officials throughout Georgia” who are "coordinating on policy and messaging to both call the results of November’s election into question before a single vote is cast, and push rules and procedures favored by the election denial movement."

But have a tiny The Doctor projecting out of her ocular implant.

Regardless, all of us combined are a grain of rice compared to the real meat and potatoes AI trains on

Absolutely. It’s more a matter of principle for me. Kind of like the digital equivalent of leaving fake Amazon packages full of dog poo out front to make porch pirates have a bad day.

So 300 cups of coffee is like warp 10 but without the, uh, side effects? lol

Let’s go, already!

How you can help: If you run a website and can filter traffic by user agent, get a list of the known AI scrapers agent strings and selectively redirect their requests to pre-generated AI slop. Regular visitors will see the content and the LLM scraper bots will scrape their own slop and, hopefully, train on it.

There’s Nebula in that coffee!

Afraid to admit, but it took me longer than it should have to get that 🤦‍♂️
