Neah.. . Debian stable - if you can put up with slightly old packages.

Also, depends if you have a preference / dependency on Wayland -vs- X11.

Wall Street loves this one weird trick

The tell-tale sign of a well-functioning society: When faced with the unexpected, they pull together and work towards the common good.

Yeap, it as this one -- with a mechanic rotary dial too !

And yes, I miss those days...

This represents something that I have felt for a while: in a post-LLM world, authoritative sources matter more, not less!

Sorry Sir, but system works _exactly_ as intended, and the future is exactly like the past.

The removal of any checks and balances to unlimited concentration of wealth and power will lead to "robber barons v2.0" -- with AI instead of railroads.

And we all know what happened next.

There is a lot going on in this paper, but it shows that no matter their maker's country (China or US) or politics (Musk's Grok vs. OpenAI), models seem to converge to the same values, often with some fairly shocking results. Those values might be steered in the future, but by who is a big question.

Please welcome to our new brainwashing overlords -- now far more insidious, and difficult to notice. NOT.

Uncle Satchmo is, to this day, my top fav American musician.

Oh, and the bonafide "rags-to-riches" story is only surpassed by his ability to overcome adversity, while being gentle, kind, and grateful.

Mad respect.

Such massive overreach. How can they expect a company to accept liability for a product bought on their website, charged by their company, and delivered by someone wearing their uniform from a truck with their logo on it?!

This is kind of down-to-Earth humor makes Mr Cuban an admirable mensch, "despite being a billionaire" (ha!).

To this point: The only quality of raging narcissists is that they are unpredictably predictable.

lol... what I love about this is I'm "rationalizing" it in a very similar way.

Now, if I could only remember the "very valid reasons" I still have: 2x RPIv3 , 2xRPIv4ModelB, 1xRPIv5 .... (and those are there that are I can think of atm)

The curse of being an early adopter of Raspberry Pis is being compelled to buy each and every damn version as they come out.

When Model 4B came out I said "never again". Oh well, the urge for buying Model 5 has now become irresistible

I'm not reading Twitter posts anymore now, but the less I do it, the more that site seems to have decayed to utter garbage -- porn ads, click baits, and bat shit crazy political rants and trolls..

Is this just the effect of my perspective ? Or it has objectively become so ? Honest question ...
