  • I think it’s more along the lines of the administration finally realized the american people simply don’t care/are apathetic to everything so they’ve decided to just go full steam ahead. Even the lies have become crappy or they just aren’t bothering with lying anymore.

    I think the excuse that they need a war to justify calling off elections is unnecessary now and they know it. They’re just going to straight up call them off soon and use a dumb lie as reasoning and only use a lie just so they have something to say. “we’re at war, no elections” and that’ll be that.

    The whole thing can be summed up as a toddler testing his limits with a bunch of absentee parents. And the toddler has now finally learned he can get away with anything because his parents are Ned Flanders parents.





  • if you talk to it long enough it will tell you to do stupid shit.

    Every time an LLM responds it reads the entire conversation over. from original prompt to last entry, just constantly reading the entire log over and over everytime you add something new. So after awhile, a long while, it’ll “break down”. Hallucinations will be come common, context will get jumbled up, it’ll sort of degrade over time because it has to re-read everything over and over so it will naturally fuck up.

    It’s like if you were reading a book and every time you read a new sentence you had to go back and start the book over. every time. after awhile you’d likely lose context, start messing stuff up in the story, etc. this is what happens to LLMs.

    So for cases like this or others where you read stories about AI telling people to do weird or stupid shit chances are the person using the LLM has been talking to it for A LONG TIME at that point. It was even worse on the previous versions of GPT where if you hit a limit on the free tier it would just drop you down to the previous model thus the further likely hood of hallucinations.


  • so one unqualified moron is being replaced with another unqualified moron who somehow licks ass harder than Noem.

    Remember Mullin is the fuckboy that shit his pants during the Jan 6 coup attempt and then later said “yeah the pardons are justified”. this is also the idiot that wanted to rent a helicopter and “rescue americans” in Afghanistan while he dangled out of the chopper or something.





  • there are a couple youtube channels I recently discovered that do just that. take REALLY old computers and parts and try to make them semi-viable for modern computing. and I’m talking stuff that is easily nearly 30+ years old.

    BoomerTec and Action Retro. BoomerTec I really like as he’ll just pick up random old PCs and explain all the parts inside and even give a history on them. His vids are like really awesome relaxing sunday morning watches. He even finds FOSS stuff that will still work on really old pcs. because of his channel I even discovered forks of firefox that are still actively developed for 32bit or community builds of Windows XP that are still updated today. For example his recent vid he bought a PC from 1998 off Ebay and got Firefox, Photoshop, and OpenOffice working on it. even games.

    Action Retro pretty much does the same thing but with a focus on Linux. He’s done videos of taking like old Compaqs from the 90s and getting linux running on them. Really impressive stuff.

    Veronica Explains is also good for this. Her video of taking old chromebooks and getting linux working on them is very detailed and thorough. Extremely easy to follow even for first timers. Also what I like about Veronica Explains is her videos remind me of old TechTV Screen Savers and Call for Help.


  • TheBlackDon, laustoic, breadonpenguins, or if you REALLY want a good breakdown between distros I highly recommend SuperUser Tech. He pretty much goes through a lot of distros from the perspective of someone new to Linux and his videos are very thorough.

    TonyBTW is great when you’re looking to setup whatever distro you pick. he’s pretty much done them all. Veronica Explains is also good for other various Linux stuff and setups. and if you ever go down the path of NixOS then Vimjoyer is a must subscribe to learn that distro.




  • or a long time, I was platform agnostic and eventually I gave up on antivirus hooping and I realized that if you don’t actually download weird shit or run shit without vetting it, you don’t viruses.

    THANK YOU. in my 30+ years of computing I’ve never run any anti-virus on anything and surprise surprise I’ve never once had a system crash or corrupted from a virus, trojan, malware, whatever simply because I never downloaded shady shit. I’ve had people become visibly upset with me because I’ve said to people “you don’t need anti-virus if you’re smart about what you’re doing” even people in the linux community have called it bullshit. it’s not.

    it just boggles my mind that people build their entire personality and devote themselves to multi-billion dollar companies like windows or simply platforms like Linux. I use Linux, I don’t care if people use Windows and trust me if something went south with Linux or Microsoft massively improved Windows I’d honestly go back to it. I’m a fan of stuff that works. that’s it.



  • thus far.

    One less than Benghazi (RIP VileRat) so Conservative readers the US should be mounting up an investigation like the one against Hilary right? …right?

    Hey Americans, how many more of your kids need to die for the interests of Israel and protecting pedophile racists before…you know…you do something? and I’m not even talking about much, just massive protests and general strikes. no “I can’t drive to DC” excuses I assume you live somewhere in the US that has at least ONE government building you can hold a sign outside of.

    pathetic.



  • for my dev work and workflow learning how to effectively use the terminal and use it for just about everything.

    Once you figure it out and use a good terminal IDE using your computer just becomes faster. It’s faster than using a GUI for everything. Utilizing the terminal and a tiling Window Manager also makes using the mouse obsolete. I don’t use a mouse or touchpad for anything other than gaming now. using the mouse slows me down.

    I can manage everything on my computer now and multiple programs with 2 terminal windows. or simply manage everything within DOOM Emacs.

    that’s another program I strongly suggest people check out and learn. DOOM Emacs is my go to IDE, Terminal, Email client, Git Manager, and File Manager. does all that and does it all well.
