This might push me over the edge to trying home linux. I use RHEL at work all the time. I just want to still be able to use Steam and Runescape.

7·18 days agoThe US is huge and there is a lot to see. I know working class people who only travel as far as they can drive in a day trip. As far as America being “the MOST dangerous country outside of warzones” while it is popular to badmouth where you live (familiarity breeds contempt) I’ve never felt my life is in danger anywhere in the US. On the other hand I don’t go into areas likely to be crime ridden and these exist in other countries too.
Yes, lots of Americans don’t go beyond the Carribean and don’t have passports simply because they can spend a lifetime traveling around North America. They in turn have lots of stereotypes of all the places they’ve never been. People think the French are all horribly hostile snobs, I found them friendly, Turkey was like Midnight Express, ummm, no, and China is a police state with agents following your every step, nope. I was more worried about wandering off and getting lost than anything else in China.
most of the world is in fact freer than them, has a better system in place for their people, and doesn’t have some of the major problems that America has
Very debatable. Every country has its own issues and restrictions. Turkey is an autocracy for instance. Vietnam is a single party state with major corruption problems, etc. Switzerland is safe but very expensive. You seem to have a narrow view of the world.
Emotions, mainly fear
You are breaking calorie sources down into their biological dynamics. You need to compare calorie values with the carb/protein/fiber compositions. However, within the grouping of carbohydrates and fats you are dealing with a thermodynamic CICO situation because their metabolism is exothermic. Proteins undergo gluconeogenesis (turning them into glucose) which is a net energy loss but requires very low blood sugar levels to trigger it.
I agree that nutrition labels are pretty limited in how accurate they can be and how much room for analysis is left. Since I do a lot of my own cooking I’m forced to do a lot of estimating. I’ve found the best rule for myself is to watch portion sizes, stay a little hungry and keep carb heavy foods to a minimum.

The US always needs a boogeyman to justify massive defense spending
Not unless there was something funny or truly interesting, otherwise it is a grunted “eh, same ol’”.
I remember most people thought that the Metallica tune they used for the original doom was Master of Puppets but the devs said it was No Remorse, heavily tweaked of course.
A lot of the old Apple II game sounds mainly due to just growing up playing on an Apple II. The Ultima series had some of the best music. Ultima III Ultima IV
But I’ve seen AI results that are basically extracts of sources. They’ll even give a link to them.
21·3 months agoThe vast majority of business apps and network admin apps are written for windows so you either can’t run them on unix or they would require an additional layer of complexity that can’t be justified “just to be on unix”.
For dev and IT work I use a mix of windows and RHEL. Business apps in windows and terminal sessions on our linux servers. My db work is almost 100% linux.
At work us devs and IT folks use both windows and RHEL Linux. I’d say I use windows for business apps and Linux for everything development related except for terminal apps and visual studio. My database work is pretty much 100% linux. Everyone else in the company is likely using windows.
I always prefer the CLI at work but I wouldn’t expect the avg consumer to ever want to deal with it.
Probably the best response here. I’d also add the moment the user has to deal with using the CLI that is it for them. I can’t imagine the average consumer going into config files or even dealing with “chmod”. It is like auto enthusiasts rolling their eyes at people who don’t change their own spark plugs or oil.
I tried this with MS Copilot and got this:

wtf, I checked out the claim about states with R in their name and it was pretty ridiculous how badly it answered it. It answers like someone running through their thoughts in front of you.

ChatGPT said: Here’s the full list of U.S. states that have the letter R in their name:
Arizona
Arkansas

Florida
Georgia
Illinois
Maryland
Massachusetts
Missouri
Nebraska
North Carolina
North Dakota

South Carolina
Texas – (wait… nope, no R here! ❌)
Vermont
Virginia
Washington – (nope, no R either ❌)
West Virginia
Wisconsin – (no R ❌)
Wyoming – (no R ❌)
Let me clean that up so only correct ones remain:
Final Correct List (22 states):

New Hampshire
New Jersey
New York
Massachusetts
Connecticut – (wait, no R ❌)
Minnesota – (no R ❌)
Hold on — I think we should actually verify methodically, because it’s easy to miss one or double-count. Do you want me to go alphabetically through all 50 states and pick only the ones with “R” so we’re 100% sure? That way we won’t miss any.
I keep wondering how AI is going to handle being fed poor data from other AI or its own output. It will be like a photocopy of a photocopy. The end result is an unreadable mess.
I use it to write scripts and debug error messages. It takes a good number of cycles though for it to arrive at a working result though. The scripts almost always fail on the first try and require numerous cycles to get through debugging. Once I have a working version though it becomes easier to ask for enhancements to it.
Seeing people at their worst, victims of violence, shootings, car accidents, mothers screaming over a dead child, etc it is no wonder they become cynical and some turn to drugs or alcohol. People will lie to their face, have a bloody knife in their hand or a home packed with stolen goods and say they didn’t do it. They need mental health care as much as vets.
