If generative #AI in the software context essentially amounts to rampant copy-paste, doesn't use of it essentially violate DRY? :3c #LLMs

So many people feel justified in participating in the culture war, when the class war being fought against us by the billionaires is what's primarily ruining our lives. :/

idk if I would be smiling about the droit du seigneur of it all... The bourgeoisie is really losing it and danger is everywhere

The "Sanctuary Cities" Fiasco

The fact: Cities like Chicago, New York and Denver maintained welcoming policies without having the federal budget to keep up.

Verdict: BAD. This is a basic management failure. In 2025, these cities had to cut essential services (police, sanitation, libraries) to fund emergency sheltering. Result: an immediate decline in quality of life for local residents and an explosion of social tensions. This is the textbook example of an ideology colliding head-on with the limits of a real budget.




Now I just need to set aside some time to install Gentoo. :3 #Gentoo #Linux


Debating my options to escape #systemd . (Currently on Arch Linux.)

What do you all think? :blobfoxthink: #Linux #BSD


in reply to Neil E. Hodges

Installing Gentoo in a chroot is actually a really good way to hone your skill set. You should also look into a Gentoo container with either Docker or Podman (but knowing you don't like systemd bloat, I am certain you would prefer Podman)

I honed my skills with Gentoo plenty back in the 2000s, so don't worry about that. :P
in reply to Neil E. Hodges

Haha excellent! I should really do a new install myself as I have forgotten so much about Gentoo


Just another chapter of this regime's incompetence, just like the airplane crashes in early 2025. Really sucks how people have been dying because of it since the very beginning. :(


“The pilot and co-pilot of an Air Canada Express regional jet have been killed after it collided with a fire truck while landing…

collision also caused serious injuries, with nine people in the hospital. It happened as a firefighting vehicle was responding to a separate incident…

In the moments before the crash, an air traffic controller could be heard on a radio transmission giving clearance to a vehicle to cross part of the runway, then trying to stop it.”

From here:

The Japanese title, "Poco a Pokémon", may originate from a combination of poco a poco (Spanish or Italian for "little by little") and Pokémon. Similarly, the name "Pokopia" used in other languages may originate from a combination of Pokémon, copy (in reference to Ditto) and utopia.

If that's true, couldn't they have called it Poko a Pokémon in Spanish? It's called Pokémon Pokopia in that localization like the rest. 🤔



We should go back to giving devices names based on "dyne". :3

What one Earth is the government thinking giving #PeterThiel and his cronies access to such sensitive data? Nothing good can come out of this.

I still say there's a nonzero chance Jesus was an alien hybrid. :3

no weirder than the idea that Jesus was not a person, but a sacred (magic) mushroom. LOL

"Snoqualmie Valley Trail Rebuild"


The Snoqualmie River washed out this section of the trail and needed to be repaired. The trail was closed for a while, but just recently reopened, completely with soft gravel
