This libertarian republican is voting straight Democrat this fall.

Hopefully a trend that will continue in the future.

Because this maniac isn’t doing it alone. All the other Republicans (or damn near all of them) are right in there with him, providing cover and blocking any attempts to stop him.

I’m honestly shocked that they didn’t just tell the court to suck a fat one.

They’ve already started by removing his name from the Epstein files.

But because his name is in there so many times, it’s taking a while and they haven’t gotten to anywhere else yet.

Hype is where the real money is made, anyway. Just need to build up enough hype to lure in the venture capital bros, then run off with their money and let the project crash and burn.

I just need more features to add do you have any?

Feature request: remove the AI from it.

Volantes.

Quite fond of it. To the point where I kind of have to use these cursors on any PC I seriously use. Ordinary cursors just look out of place. At the very least, I always want tailless cursors. Seeing a tail on my cursor just feels old-fashioned, vestigial, and cringe to me.

“Look at what they need just to mimic a fraction of our power!”

does it really matter if it was vibe-coded?

If you want secure, reliable, and maintainable code, very much yes.

People are calling this a ‘problem’ and a ‘bug’ … but it’s neither. It was just a missing feature.

Oh, it will ‘find bugs’ alright. And then flood FreeBSD’s bug report system with bullshit bug reports that turn out to be nothing, but require expert human review to discern that.

I find it works best when you give it a very small/simple task to do.

If it’s a small/simple task, why do I need help at all?

What I don’t get, though, is how the vibe code bros can’t discern this reality.

How can they sit there and not see that their vibe-coded app just doesn’t do what they wanted it to do? Eventually, you’ve got to try actually running the app, right? And how do you keep drinking the AI kool-aid when you find out that the app doesn’t work?

Stuff that can’t be reproduced and “only” comes up because of some timing issue/race condition is often the most shit to hunt for

Ah, but if you can’t reproduce it, you can just put in an entry of ‘could not reproduce’ and close the bug report. Case closed. Go home and enjoy a nice beverage.

Been working fine for me.

Honestly, though, haven’t noticed any real difference between Ubuntu Studio and vanilla Kubuntu, except that it came pre-installed with a few of the things I would have installed anyway.

People are going to hate me for this, but here goes…

I’m using Ubuntu.

Ubuntu Studio, to be precise.

This could backfire magnificently.

Let the (typically upper-middle class) people in the airport witness and deal with ICE thuggery directly … just before the budgetary debate. Let them see small children arrested, families being torn apart, threats and violence against innocent and non-threatening people just based on how they look. Let them see fascist thugs marching around saying ‘papers, please’ to everyone who isn’t pasty white. And even if they’re sociopathic enough not to care about any of that, ICE will cause delays at the airport, and that will annoy air travelers. Let all those moderately wealthy people with time on their hands make a stink to their congresspeople about what they saw.

It’s going to expose a ton of people to ICE brutality who are normally insulated from this kind of shit. And that’s going to shape opinions at a crucial political time.

People who say you need a profit motive to do work are just passionless and detached from the world…

You might even say they’re feeling alienated, as a certain German economist might say.

Honestly, yes, I think it’s one of the best examples of anarchism in action the world has ever seen. And an especially pertinent example to point out to those who’d say things like, “Why would anyone do work or innovate without a profit motive?” Lots of good and innovative software, made without any profit incentive by a collective of people who are working on it just because they want to and they enjoy it.

So many of these things just seem incredibly bizarre once you’re used to Linux.

When you become one with the penguin, though … then you can begin to feel how much faster modern hardware is.

Hell, I’ve got a 2016 budget-model chromebook that still feels quick and snappy that way.
