  • Ohhhh... It took me (checks post age) seven hours to get it.

  • A woman once told me she worked in a club and when one of the regulars passed away, a bunch of them went to his funeral.

    Respect. There's certainly worse legacies one could leave, than having spread some wealth around while presumably having been respectful enough to be missed.

  • Nice! Thanks for sharing this analysis.

  • I thought our primary way of producing new Linux users was sexual reproduction and then indoctrination from birth...

  • Interesting. I would have guessed that Mint gave ChromeOS a run for it's money, by now.

  • Yes. By the porn stats, Linux already crushes ChromeOs. Let's not take any advice from it.

  • I'm not sure Grandma and Grandpa would want a steam machine as a replacement for their aging Windows 7 home computer.

    Fair. But for my gram, it would have been a slam dunk day one buy. She loved her playstation and only tolerated her PC. She would have called a Steam Machine "my game console that can check email" and would have adored it.

  • Are we repeating the telecoms crash with AI datacenters?

    Jump

  • "Enterprises might discover that production agent deployments are harder than demos suggest. Hallucinations in high-stakes workflows, regulatory concerns around autonomous AI systems, or implementation complexity could slow adoption dramatically. If the agent future takes 5-7 years instead of 2-3, there's a painful gap where billions in infrastructure sits waiting for demand to catch up."

    Yes. AI agents in infrastructure are a fundamentally stupid idea, at their very core.

    Learn to write a bash script or pay someone competent to do it.

    Almost no one needs a shittier solution that is 1000x faster to implement while 100x more likely to make profit-margin-evaporating mistakes.

    Even the idiots calling the shots today are bound to notice this.

    There's a third category of adoption to consider: "between 7 years and - let's not fucking do this, it is stupid"

  • I dont have time to build and maintain a curated offline library like I used to.

    I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sure the high seas legitimate DRM free music purchases will welcome you back when you have time again.

  • RIP Renee A. I can always hear his delivery of that final line when I read it.

  • That was a close one

  • It's very eco-conscious. It's actually made of recycled Jake Sisko vests.

  • Positive train ride experience with regards to announcements

    Jump

  • Neat. I've always wondered what train conductors had to say. I always imagined they announce safety reminders, or the next stop. But it could have been be poetry, or rants about a co-worker for all I could parse it.

  • I made a "dial wheel" to try all 26^3 combinations on this mystery lock-box

  • Have you considered printing a list of three letter words and staring with them?

    Ihope you will report back with the contents and combination of you succeed!

  • When a Discovery fan complains about rabid Trekkies attacking them for not hating the new show

  • But no, between Archer and Kirk Starfleet must have recruited just the worst of the worst.

    All good points.

    But I've done some mental gymnastics to make it work. We actually know:

    Lorca defied orders to recruit Burnam, and keep Burnam out of space jail.

    I also assume Lorca recruited Saru specifically because Saru's native culture includes lots of putting up with inane bullshit, which was useful to Lorca after disposing of original Lorca's body.

    And I assume that the same character in my spoiler tag recruited various dysfunctional crew, while Saru recruited those crew that actually perform like Starfleet officers.

    So basically, with enough mental hoops, I can assume that only Discovery, itself, is crewed unusually for Starfleet.

    Edit: I also feel that Archer's bring-my-dog-to-work leadership should also shoulder some blame. And Kirk is still a low ranking officer at this point, so we haven't reached Starfleets prime.
