  • Some internet rando had a hypothesis that certain types of people actually view their own hypocrisy as a strength rather than a failing. It shows how much more powerful they are than others; others have to obey rules that they don't. Hypocrisy is only viewed as a failing in other people.

  • AI model collapse is not what we paid for

    Jump

  • But could I pay for model collapse? I'd be down for that.

  • Found a printer and Linux saves the day again

    Jump

  • I've had no joy getting my Brother printer to share over the network with our macs... It seems like the mac sees it for a moment and then it vanishes. The closest Ive come is having the printer wake up when the Mac sent a job, but it didn't print anything. Prints fine from Linux USB.

    Someday I'll give it a third attempt.

  • US House Passes 10-Year Moratorium on State AI Laws

    Jump

  • This is how you know "pro-states rights" conservatives are lying to you.

    Jump

  • As a motorcyclist... Yeah.

    Jump

  • I used to dream of watching a movie then falling asleep in bed while my car drove the 8 hours to my folks' house.

    But I'd want that beast to be bristling with sensors of every kind. None of this "cameras only" idiocy.

    Someday. Maybe.

  • Passwords are okay, impulsive Internet isn't

    Jump

  • The service can determine what they accept as a password.

    And what password manager you use, I think was the poster's point.

  • Trump Declares Biden’s Digital Equity Act ‘Racist’ and ‘Unconstitutional’

    Jump

  • Do it. They're your constituents. But I reckon the guy who plays 4D chess in his sleep knows this.

  • Which X11 software keeps you from switching to Wayland?

    Jump

  • XFCE, mostly.

  • Former Palantir workers condemn company's work with Trump administration

    Jump

  • Early Palantirians were naive if they thought this wasn't the outcome.

  • What Happened To WWW.?

    Jump

  • Any old slashdotters remember tcwww, The Cursed www? Just me?

  • Firefox could be doomed without Google search deal, says executive

    Jump

  • How much does Firefox development cost? The Mozilla Foundation itself has a dearth of friends even among hackers. But Firefox is worth preserving. Could we get enough paying supporters to continue development?

  • Free open source video editor Kdenlive announces major release

    Jump

  • It's been great watching it turn into a real powerhouse over the years.

  • Are jackasses really a safe job? I know ChatGPT has been really happy and friendly recently, but it can still be a really effective jackass.

  • Tesla Board Opened Search for a CEO to Succeed Elon Musk

    Jump

  • I hope they're not lying with the denial. If he stays, it'll drive left wingers to other options, increasing competition. And it might even drive right wingers to start buying EVs in quantity. 😁

  • Sega's Altered Beast Gets A Free Fan-Made Remake | Time Extension

    Jump

  • Sorry to disappoint, but it was not. It was Double-Decker Pizza. Except this was a small local chain of two restaurants, not the one that you find on the internet today.

  • I can't pay rent because devs just don't care

    Jump

  • The number of bugs we encountered the last overseas flight we took were astounding. Anything from printing errors to baggage checkin not working to the inflight entertainment system needing rebooting.

    There are so many layers of dependencies on everything it's amazing it works at all.

  • Sega's Altered Beast Gets A Free Fan-Made Remake | Time Extension

    Jump

  • The pizza place I worked at as a teen had this game and we had the key. So we'd pop it open and add tons of credits and play forever. This phrase is indelibly marked upon my brain.
