I will always upvote Waterworld.

Now, the drone-captured data is sent off to contractors at SewerAI, who run it through their AI-assisted algorithms to identify defects automatically.

Now this is the kind of AI shit (pun intended) I can get behind (pun even more intended).

When Spongebob wouldn’t stop talking about it.

That’s part of why I use Xubuntu/Kubuntu mainly and Lubuntu for real low end stuff. Straight vanilla Ubuntu is… not super appealing. Ubuntu server that’s just CLI/headless though, that’s pretty tits, imho.

I agree that the backend for snaps being proprietary sucks, but I actually think snaps themselves are pretty useful in server configurations because of the sandboxing and limiting access to system resources. I get the whole argument that it’s doing what flatpak already did yadda yadda, but like… competing standards happens. It’s part of life and always will be.

I work for Meta (Facebook).
For example, the word “protest” will now get your account and activity monitored.

Suddenly Ubuntu doesn’t seem so terrible now, does it??

Ubuntu gang represent.

Out of curiosity, can pacman update flatpaks? Or do you still have to update those independent of your package manager?

My personal experience is that apt-get will absolutely miss packages that apt will capture.

I was actually surprised by that about six months ago and finally switched over to apt after years of apt-get.

Tom Kenny also met his wife, Jill Talley, and married her while on Mr. Show. She went on to be the voice of Karen, Plankton’s computer on Spongebob.

It’s why one of my favorite sketches is where they lampoon daytime Christian television where it’s for worshipping Satan instead and Tom and Jill host it together. Jill rocks that absurd large hair.

An unfun fact is that the priest at the end of the blowjob sketch is Jay Johnston who is more well known for his roles in Bob’s Burgers, The Sarah Silverman Program, and the January 6th Insurrection, for which he was arrested and charged.

Do you really believe that court cases are decided by juries making decisions based on evidence and lawyers arguments?

Oh-ho, Danny! How could you be so naive?

Dan, court cases are decided by a series of blowjobs. In fact, our entire civilization is built on blowjobs. Everything from medicine to religion to dev ops.

This is absolutely awesome, thanks for the introduction to it.

This is the opposite of what you’re asking for, sorry, but I find that more people are familiar with the A Perfect Circle version of The Nurse Who Loved Me than they are with the original version by Failure.

Both very good versions song, but the original still blows me away.

Apologies for doing the opposite of what you asked, but this was just the first thing that came to mind.

Probably surveillance or AI training.

And funny how it’s never the other way where women can take multiple husbands🤔

This is why Paint Your Wagon is one of the best films ever made. A mormon sells his wife to a dirty drunken miner, and the minter promised to go halvsies on his stake with his pardner, so he and his pardner end up sharing her as a wife too, as well as the stake in the gold mine.

Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.

Thanks, we suffered the same fate.

It’s a really important switch for doing things like setting up wireguard, which has protected directories, you can’t actually enter the directory for wireguard setup without sudo -i

(I mean technically you probably can with sudo su, too, but this is more elegant and less redundant)

There’s also

sudo apt update

if you only want to apply the superuser permission one specific command instead of a lot of commands

We both know that this kind of nuanced take isn’t was Truss is aiming for, though. Otherwise she wouldn’t use the “free speech” canard.
