Her problem is she cited the wrong bible!

Clearly, she should’ve cited the real bible that has the true word of the gods in it. Not that atheist Christian bible!

Remember: If you don’t believe in my gods, you’re an atheist!

I hope the SCOTUS justices aren’t using 3-strikes-you’re-out ISPs! All it would take is three random DMCA takedown notices and they’d lose Internet.

Their entire workflow is in Linux (KDE/Kate/Krita/Inkscape) which is awesome!

You jest, but if conservatives have their way, you’ll soon have to verify your ID by uploading a video every time you visit the site (if not logged in). Even for non-adult content!

Because the reason for the ID isn’t to “protect the children” or anything like that. It’s about control. Conservatives want the power to decide what people get to see and ID verification systems are just a small part of that.

This is fowl play!

A “minor slip-up during a ‘bottoms up moment’” fits this problem to a tea.

Whenever I hear someone hating on “AI” I think, “Wait: What are they even talking about?” Because it’s far, far too ambiguous.

Will they get mad at me because I used gpt-oss:20b (on my personal GPU) to help me summarize the architecture of some code that I didn’t write? Do they even know that such things exist?

Will they get mad at me because I used ComfyUI (on my personal PC) to combine two images into one?

Will they get mad at me for using speech recognition to write something out on my phone?

Do they get mad whenever forecasters use hurricane path prediction/modeling?

All these things and a whole lot more are “AI”.

It’s good to know that incompetence is still the guiding principle of the Trump administration 👍

Doesn’t matter: Nobody uses right shift for anything but pinball games!

To summarize:

• The Republicans have no real plans to fix health care. The only thing they’ve thought up so far is an even bigger handout to Visa and MasterCard as well as other rich/incredibly profitable/unnecessary middlemen companies that handle Health Savings Account plans. Note: The more money you make, the more money you save via HSA plans!
• The Democrats have no real plans to fix health care. The only thing they’ve thought of is to extend the Republican band-aid known as Romneycare the Obamacare subsidies which will only slightly delay the inevitable, on-going collapse of health care in the United States. AKA the death spiral: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_spiral_(insurance)

What should be illegal is patents like this!

Open source software. Sigh.

The same thing can happen in Windows. Only difference, really, is that Linux tells you that there’s a problem and the Event Viewer doesn’t. You just end up with a hung Windows PC or a screwed up USB port that won’t work anymore after it happens enough times.

Oftentimes what causes it is undocumented firmware “features” that need to be turned on via a proprietary driver (for your USB device). The vendor “supports” Windows but not Linux so they never bothered to submit any patches to fix issues like that. It’s that Linux fault? Not really. It’s the fault of the shitty vendor.

It’s always some bargain basement piece of shit Chinese-made USB device that causes these sorts of problems. The type of thing that can happen when even the vendor of the product didn’t know a counterfeit chip ended up in their device.

To be fair, “avoid change at all costs!” Has been the Republican motto for a long time now. It’s right up there with, “ignore reality.”

Too stupid to notice? No. Too meek to do anything about it? Yes! That sums up Windows users in a nutshell.

The History Channel isn’t a history channel!

I had this same thing happen a while back. You know what it was? A bad USB device!

I had a little USB debug probe that went bad (somehow) and it totally screwed up my USB hub’s ability to… Stay stable? Haha, that’s the best way to put it.

Anyway, the fix was to remove the device and disconnect the USB hub (and its power) for a few seconds. If I ever reconnected the probe, the problem would recur within an hour or two.

Here’s how you can check for something similar: Run dmesg and look for regular messages like, “unable to enumerate device”. It’ll tell you which bus and port it’s on but that’s not easy to figure out so just keep unplugging things until you get the one matching the device that’s regularly throwing errors in dmesg. Keep it disconnected, power everything off (PC, USB hub’s, etc) for a few seconds and then try running without that device for a while. It might be the culprit!
