  • Linux lets\makes you interact with a terminal (and just OS tinkering) more, so you become a bit more comfortable with writing simple commands and then code.

    One of the things for basic Python and default libs is sorting your Downloads folder into a more logical filestructure that doesn’t need reshuffling and searching for long. Move pictures into Pictures and sort them accordingly to the year\month you saved them for example. Make the script run once a week. Make it write a log file as it runs.

    I did this one for the sake of it, but then I needed a piece of code to bruteforce the PDF file password protection, so I used a lib to access and resave this file without a password. On every attempt to open it, it inserted another password from either freely availiable databases of simple passes or well-known leaks (rockyou). It worked nice for PDFs I needed to crack to, actually, just print on paper, but also worked when I tested it with combinations of random words and symbols I came up with. I needed a lib to open a pdf, a list of passwords to try (althought, a bit pre-formatted), and a couple of victims to test on.

    Legacy building is mostly for rich and powerful who came out of age, like in the mid to end of their life’s arc. We may dislike it, but even the most despised billionaires are probably planning something not for the community but for their close circle at least, or even their own commemoration, as they feel the death is coming. Be it a continuation of their business empire or an epic tomb like pyramids, there’s some though to that.

    Musk has never left his college years, always high af, always in the moment although he is pushing well over 50. He is closing that question to himself by making many children, but I’m convinced he never stopped and reflected on what would be there or with them after he dies. He’s feeling overpowered, nearly immortal, and I feel like his death would be a sudden striking event that’d catch him completely unprepared.

    It depends, that’s why I said it requires reruns with some slight modifications. When I was looking for a FOSS or at least Linux-friendly software for some live video visuals manipulation, VJ and everything with ‘video’ triggered a wave of slop, but ‘projecting software’ lead me to a rabit hole of actual list of choices, albeit most of them were paid, proprietary and Windows only.

    It’s counter to my previous expirience of including certain words to narrow the search: now I watch for what keywords bring most AI articles and drop\change them.

    Some search queues return me pages of word-to-word copypastes of one ‘original’ AI gen article. On top of existing power-googling, you need not to include words that are particularly popular in slop. It brought a need to rewrite a queue a couple of times before it gets to the point.

    They learnt on the worst examples of SEO, and then intertwined with it.

    I imagine a better variation of this meme where every next panel zooms in on the edge of a diagram, questioning, if there’s a 0.00001% of cops who aren’t bastards?, going to some subatomic level to conclude there aren’t, these two diagrams line up perfectly not to create such niche.
