@slowe Bit of an oversight, lol.

Project Hail Mary, one of the best films of 2026, plays flawlessly on this setup btw.

@techokami @washbear @fionescu The most recent GT 710 based card was launched in 2024.

automating tasks displaces anger and aggression && prevents the real issues from ever reaching those who can address them ( from a French text on automation of public services https://shs.hal.science/file/index/docid/635241/filename/machines_hostiles.pdf )

automating tasks makes auditing the final result take longer & the human auditors lack the mental context and the intuitive understanding of trade-offs made & mistakes can cascade and degrade the entire ecosystem & incentive is strong not to see this: https://freakonometrics.hypotheses.org/89367

Putting Jeri Ryan as six of nine?

Je pense que la vraie question c'est exactement ça: PEU IMPORTE les performances de ces IAs. La question c'est : Est-ce qu'on peut se permettre, en tant que société, cette technogie ? (face aux tonnes de problèmes énergétiques, écologiques, éthiques, sociaux...qu'elle engendre).

OUI elle fait des choses extraordinaires et *peut* s'avérer plus performante que nous dans certains cas, mais tout ceci n'a aucune foutue importance si ça détruit la démocratie et la planète.

Well this is actually the root of the problem. USians not caring about politics until they are personally affected. Of course you didnt have to think about Obama, because he was only slaughtering brown people in foreign countries and not on your doorstep.

I really like internet memes, and this one definitely made me smile 🙂

It probably overestimates my role and should encourage more people to support open-source projects, particularly @thephpf, which handled the two recent critical security vulnerabilities exceptionally well by preparing patches, including for older, unmaintained versions, and by communicating with package maintainers in the distributions (like @ondrej and me), and by providing information to users.

If you're a director and don't consider this kind of setup for watching your films but only IMAX screens, you're an elitist prick and should be forced to work with a camcorder and laptop from 2010 for your next project.

I'm looking at you, Christopher Nolan.

In Finland, Google chopped down 250,000 trees, without a permit, to make room for a shiny new data centre.

If you are still using Google, maybe it’s time to ask yourself whether its services are worth a quarter‑million trees and why we have to sacrifice so much of our nature.

Very excited that my new book, "When the Well is Dry" is now being released! It tackles the long history of violence over water resources and how to move from conflict to cooperation.
And apparently this now has to be said: not a single piece of it was written, edited, produced, or modified by AI.

@publicvoit Oops, sorry. 😂
In my defense: the first line of your book can be interpreted in both ways: "You have found time" doesn't necessarily indicate that it's in the future.

On my side there are no regreds of having written the books. For me, it was a great way of organizing my thoughts and finishing a learning process.

In the end, all that matters if you are motivated enough and enjoy doing it.

"Forced" books are dissatisfying for both, authors and readers.

@nextcloud sound great. Do you guys have any plans in place to degoogle your iOS app?
