Something something about showing connections between points in a circle… the chocolate starfish of life.

I don’t disagree with this hot take. But the major difference is the sheer resources needed to have an LLM in place of a “do one thing right” utility like sed. In that sense, they are incomparable.

Yes. Avenues exist. But money is corrupting.

I tried giving you an opportunity, but I’m going to block you now.

I really don’t even know what this means.

I wish the best for you.

Your problem is that you want to censor ideas you don’t like.

This is a natural result of media controlled by corporate interests. It’s also a misunderstanding of “free speech” – even when you are free to say what you will, it does not mean you are free from the consequences of that speech.

You want to control what other people think by dictating what they get to see and what they’re allowed to share with others.

Again, I suggest looking into how propaganda works. Letting everyone speak about anything (without vetting of topic, qualifications, or direction) has consequences. We are seeing those consequences now and will continue to see more as the propaganda machine runs wild on the back of “let everyone speak”.

Your view of this is overly simplistic and I am, in the most polite way, attempting to direct you to self improvement. It is a common issue at the moment across all discourse – probably vestigial of the information sharing capabilities now available.

It’s right there in the TOS! /s

I recommend you take strides to learn how propaganda works, most specifically the purpose of shifting opinion (i.e. the Overton Window): “I’m just asking questions” and “I’ll let anyone speak” are two of the most effective methods of propaganda. It does not need to be intentional on the part of the interviewer.

“Don’t Be Evil”

(I know this hasn’t been the Google motto in years – when it stopped was one of the biggest corporate red flags)

Almost everything you ingest from day to day on your PC, in terms of multimedia content, is compressed.

File compression is a necessity, as it makes transmission of such media over the internet much more teneble. But uncompressed video carries a lot more information – not necessarily all useful information, but it is there.

Happens to me all the time on a VPN.

It isn’t every IP. I just change tunnels.

Thanks

Yep yep, I didn’t take offense. Tbh idk why I still do it. Just habit I guess.

Edit: I made an edit but I won’t say what it was. :)

Maybe it is. I always considered it a courtesy since otherwise it can be difficult to see what was edited. It’s from my reddit days.

But if the file system needs extra writes anyway for CoW, and the SSD needs its own CoW, then wouldn’t that end up being exponential writes? Or is there some mechanism which mitigates that?

I don’t disagree with that. They’re also a much smaller group so I think it just stands to reason.

But I do appreciate that they’re taking chances (probably for the same reason). Cosmic is quite impressive already and a good alternative to Gnome/KDE/Cinnamon; better than the Pop Shell on Gnome.

Edit: a word

Yes. My gaming rig has been on Pop for years now.

I hate the idea of still being on Pop. But it’s so damned pleasant.

Now on the Cosmic alpha.

The CoW nature of Btrfs means it’s often slower than ext4 for common tasks, right? It also means more writes to your SSDs.

I’ve stuck to ext4 so far, as someone who doesn’t really have a need for snapshotting.

Edit: I’m not an expert on file systems in the least, so do chime in if these assumptions are incorrect.

I would suggest that the Dixon Ticonderoga is the most reliable, most cost-efficient, and easiest-to-use writing utinsil in the history of humanity.*

Each other option has more points of potential failure and additional complexities over the Ticonderoga. While more complicated tools may net you some improvement in writing style or sharpness, they are massive trade-offs in more basic areas.

This would be much the same question if it were “what car would you drive for the rest of your life” between fancy ones like Ferraris and Lambos to cheaper, more reliable ones like Corollas and Civics. Everyone likes the look of the Ferrari – but the only car for the rest of your life? It’s got to be reliable, or you’re going nowhere. You want to be able to keep driving.

The Ticonderoga guarantees you can keep writing.

*intentionally overselling it for humor. But it is a nice, simple, good-quality pencil.

I can’t imagine a better result.
