Moral turpitude will not be tolerated.

135 was for the institutional investors that sponsored it. 150 was the opening price for the hoi-poloi.

Well, perhaps, but it shouldn’t be any more complicated than starting up the docker stack.

What are the specific problems? I might be able to help. You might also point an agent at the repo and ask it to stand it up, they’re pretty good at that sort of thing, just approve the commands it’s running to make sure it doesn’t shit the bed.

Were you using the Nextcloud AIO? I’ve used every method of installing NC over the last decade+ and the AIO is painless to install and maintain.

You forgot the Deus Ex Machina explanation at the end that made literally everything before it a non sequitur.

And he had no new ideas. Anyone that reads that series and extolls the originality of the Dark Forest theory hasn’t read any science fiction to speak of, let along Saberhagen’s Berserker series from the better part of a century earlier. He had nothing new, he was a literature prof writing his first SF book and doing it way worse than any literature prof should ever be at writing.

Fucking garbage, I was angry and upset that I had wasted time reading that shit and wanted my money back. If anyone tells you that was great SF, you can safely turn your back and walk away, they have nothing useful to contribute to a conversation on the matter.

Well, and 5% the day before, and likely another 10% by the time it shakes out.

Morningstar puts the price at $62/share, so that’s a possibility there.

This is the usual fleecing of the retail investors by the institutional sponsors.

The only people surprised are the retail investors.

It was obviously performative at the time. A lot of bitching and moaning but in the end, it was a nothingburger change that distros could ignore as they do every other field on the user profile in systemD. But they had to make a “distro” to show how serious they were, then ignore it completely.

I said at the time if it were maintained in 90 days I’d eat a bug. Apparently I was off by about 75 days.

Yah, there was some bullshit like this that had people start “Ageless Linux” that was basically a script for people to change their sources on a Debian install to their version, and they haven’t done any sort of updates in over 2 months, to the surprise of nobody.

What a tempest in a teapot.

goddammit, I just watched something about Spielberg and had his name in my head…

I mean, you have 10X the scrutineers as well. It all scales.

The objections I’ve heard to it make as much sense as saying you can’t scale a high school student election to the size of Canada federal elections. Well, yes you can, obviously.

I’m inclined to think she hated Spielberg and the franchise after working with him for years, and decided to destroy his legacy.

Blame Kathleen Kennedy. She took a huge dump all over that and then smeared it around.

Preach.

I thought the American version of The Office wasn’t much better. Just constant cringe humor, it’s exhausting.

Good for you. If the way Windows behaves now doesn’t drive people to Linux, they’ll never jump. They’ll just keep taking the abuse because they like it.

I don’t understand starting out on Linux in an immutable distro, but maybe that’s the oldhead in me, I’ve been on Linux since the 90s. I find adding software in those distros to be a massive pain in the ass, as well as dealing with its constraints on configurability. But if it’s working for you, fill your boots. Welcome to the dark side.

Well, if masochism is your kink…

Just can’t resist eh.

I have an old seed drill and the ECU smoked itself last fall. $6000-8000 if I can find a used one and then wait for it to show up, hopefully it works.

Pulled out Hermes on GPT5.5, spent the weekend building a DIY unit that monitors shaft and airspeeds, controls clutches, and gives me a browser page that I can watch all that stuff. I’m currently sitting in the tractor and waiting for it to build me a new feature I didn’t have on the old monitor where I can manually enter acres done.

It would have taken me months to build this and I’d have done nothing but work on that. Now I can tweak this while I work, or even access it remotely and change things if someone else is using it.

People can get on their high horse all they want, it cost me almost nothing to build something I can modify as I wish now. AI has democratized software. Hate it all you want, it works.

Don’t let the anti-AI bullshit get you down. You built something that worked for you, it isn’t the basis of national security for everyone and you wanted to share it. And you opensourced it so if I want to bolt on an IRC downloader or something, it’s easy.

I appreciates you.
