As a writer, I believe genAI removes the *joy* from creating art and strangles the introspection and growth it provides.
It's also one of the most environmentally devastating uses of the underlying hardware.

With Linux getting sloppy, what really are the good BSD systems? Is DragonflyBSD any good? GhostBSD? Our old friend NetBSD?

Like, I want to run something on a seven year old former gaming laptop with two 1 TB hard disks: one SSD, one NVMe; 16 GB of RAM; and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050i Mobile
.

Hell, I'm even considering putting Haiku on it.

Linus said, "Fork it!"
After taking the money.
I'd rather flush it.

I don't think Tim Russ gets enough credit for defining what it means to be a Vulcan in Star Trek.

Spock was always half-human and the various depictions usually lean into that even if it's just an inner conflict. He defined someone trying to navigate two worlds, neither is which was a true match.

Tuvok is a disciplined Vulcan who was so good being a Vulcan, he successfully infiltrated the Maquis and stayed on mission. There was no human half. There was no "we are still building backstory" like with T'Pol. He's just Vulcan.

Look at "Picard". Tuvok smiling was enough of a giveaway that he was a changeling.

Tim Russ' performance in Voyager (and Star Trek: Online) made that scene work. You might have even noticed it before Seven.

I don't hate the racist, passive aggressive Vulcan's from "Enterprise" or the more Spock-like Vulcan's from TNG. But Tim out-Vulcaned all of them. I haven't watched Discovery so I can't comment on their Vulcans.

New post: The "Disability Dongle": Why Silicon Valley Hates Me and you. https://sightlessscribbles.com/disability-dongle/

@nprofile1q...

The whole problem.

Silicon Valley will spend millions developing a glove that translates sign language into speech (badly), but they won't spend ten minutes adding Alt-Text to their images. They will build a headset that describes the room to me (poorly), but they won't use semantic HTML headings so I can actually navigate a webpage.

Maybe, if they thought the people they were supposedly trying to help were actually people, they would consult them before over engineering solutions to the wrong things.

Whatever happened to the "we designed a thing to help people that anybody can build using a 3D printer for less than $300" kind of inspiration porn? Seeing people who'd lost limbs getting a homebuilt terminator hand that was affordable was cool, actually.

If I had unlimited money I would make a a game where you need to spot the changes withing a dream to wake up, except it works like exit 8, and you are like 10 layers down and need to keep waking up ov...

The most I've ever had was a dream within a dream within a dream. Maybe once or twice a year so I get a dream within a dream.

I can't imagine the frustration of more layers. At that point, it's like your subconscious is just fucking with you to see if you'll try to walk through a wall and smash your nose IRL.

This is going to lead to global famine if they don’t stop.

They do not care and nobody in the world has the will to stop them. They will ruin everything, everywhere. They will kill every single other person. They will burn the world to ash and poison the oceans. They will light the last tree on fire for a laugh. They will curb stomp your children in front of you. They will do it all and it will never be enough.

I live here and I am terrified.
