This is genuinely what I'd answer to almost every comment in this thread.

For parent: Debian's release cycle is great, on top of letting you choose a degree of stability with one word: https://www.debian.org/releases/

I'm curious what the audience is for Ubuntu nowadays? If you use it - why Ubuntu over another distro? Is it still largely a beginner-friendly stepping stone?

Ask it about Lake Ontario, Gulf of Mexico or tariffs. It told me the President had no constitutional power to change tariff rates

Finally this gives them the leeway to do what they've already been doing

And here you're saying that October 7th happened because Palestinians were not oppressed enough so I'm going to just disagree with you and wish you a good day.

"October 7th" disproves every single one of your claim. Unless you think that was unprovoked of course, and not the result of years of oppression. If you do, then there really is nothing left to argue here.

Well you've just tarriff-banned Canadian alcohol from your country so that should help your sales

> The basic idea behind what you’re saying is that people are basically good and oppression or deprivation makes them do bad things. This is simply not an accurate model of human psychology.

Have you heard of survival? Personal, cultural, geographic. People will do anything if you push them hard enough or deprive them of alternatives.

Eh, those are short term gains. Popular opinion has shifted away from Israel since they've increased their attacks and basically no longer hide the fact they want to eradicate Palestinians wherever they may be. They can't throw antisemitism rhetoric anymore because people have caught on to their victim syndrome. What they're doing is the same thing the US has been doing for decades, creating terrorists by oppressing entire generations and it will end the same way, eventually, when a critical mass opposes their regime or until they elect someone as dumb as the US did and throws all pretenses out the window. They either succeed in their genocide or all they're doing is motivating people who will one day have an impact.

You thought... they didn't?

It has 4 camera lenses? Are there stickers that look like camera lenses? I'm gonna rock 11 or 12 lenses and see what that gets me

I'm aware, but the practice is widespread is what I'm saying - even in the cybersecurity space.

So in this case it would roughly be "my lovely code"? Or "Code, my loves"?

Unrelated: what is "habibi"? To me (and I know nothing), it always sounded like a pejorative term for franco-arabs but I never bothered to validate

Sure, but Mastodon doesn't embed anything and links from "the outside" usually don' work on other social medium unless you have an account - which leaves people unable to verify. Twitter users don't tend to be inspired by (or present on) other networks, so it goes:

X has FB and Insta screenshots

Insta has FB and X screenshots

FB has Insta and X screenshots

Bluesky has FB, Insta and X screenshots

Masto has Bluesky, FB, Insta and X screenshots

So what I'm saying is on Mastodon, you are exposed to the most screenshots of other networks, because there are no techniques to embed them and people refuse to link to them for the reason they aren't on those networks in the first place.

As for AI, i know toddlers who can prompt but are unaware of what a right click is.

Mastodon's dependence on screenshots from other social networks is infuriating, enough that I left Mastodon altogether. Screenshots are text, they can be doctored in 15 seconds. Screenshots in the age of AI are utterly useless.

Your answer is since AI. AI is making mostly everything worse.

Offload your memory to an AI. Let AI find patterns in your life. Then ask AI what you should be doing with your life, because being a human clearly isn't for you.

They will never let that happen. You need to keep the pleb busy or they start getting ideas.

Amazingly, those are advertised as "included amenities", as if they were a good thing. I'm sure a large number of people are fine with the idea of a managed internet - or they just don't understand.

If they're anything like mosquitoes (which as I understand it, they are) then I assume they can. also, insanity

Or Highland midges and UK/IE tensions

T2 the war has already happened and Skynet sends the T-100 back in time.

T3 Skynet already exists and is hunting John Connor down

I wanna see the conference room meeting where they decide to push an unfinished, unstoppable technology. I guess T1 is the closest as it happens when Skynet "gains intelligence"

There needs to be a Terminator prequel where it's people against the machines fighting people who think the machines will be a net positive.

Here's what "ChatGPT Maps" thinks about it: https://chatgpt.com/share/6ab7a3e4-1538-83ea-8bdb-86e243f316...

Another day another OpenAI "misbehavior"

ROC is the Rest of Canada

> Or does the C in Quebec stand for Canada?

them's fighting words

Saskatchewan is SK and Manitoba is MB if you want weird

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provinces_and_territories_of_C...

Of course, of course. As a Quebecer, I never speak for the ROC ;)

We gotta take back the letter Q man, it's either us or Qatar and I don't see them campaigning. There's dozens of us!
