Could probably replace managers with AI, but being trained on most managers would mean it would be equally bad at its job.

I think the most likely is for the artists jobs to go away as art doesn’t have to be exact, but code does.

No one was able to replicate the level of health complications from the movie. Apparently he was a raging alcoholic.

Alcohol kills. McDonalds is just sorta bad.

The Princess Bride

If you have seen it. You are happy to watch again. If you haven’t, you will love it.

I really liked it, but ran into some game-breaking bugs playing on high-framerate monitor. Can’t imagine how long I tried getting past some spot and it was framerate dependant. Crazy, too bad because it was absolutely beautiful.

Yeah exactly. There is a problem, crypto is a solution. Fiat currency is also a ponzi scheme.

Chip R&D. We only use 1’s, 0’s if management is feeling generous. There are no circles, no need for pi.

Perfect!

If you code adding the current branch to your shell prompt will change your world.

Also, if you are getting good use out of find, you should learn to pipe the output to GNU parallel. Put those cores to work!

For deeply nerdy computer/network/IT/programming: On the Metal

Only 2 seasons, but some great interviews.

I’m not sure why you are getting downvoted. I’m optimistic for the same reasons and I think you are right about rapid growth being dangerous.

Linux was slow growth, not to mention GNU, but it is so good, and attracted the right kind of contribuitors.

Running these services has a cost and surely over the time it takes to grow, solutions will emerge. It is best to recognize those challenges and address them.

Well I hope so. Occasionally our nerd stuff leaks out into the world and does some real good. Maybe advertising is only needed to keep shareholders never-ending drive for profits. Wikipedia seems to do ok. I really do hope I’m wrong, but I think you are just being too optimistic, maybe it is because I’m old.

People donate time, and some people host servers and pay bills because they can. I don’t think the whole point of federation is amortizing the costs across instances, but it is a perk. Most people want to know what to join, which is why lemmy.world got so big, so fast. Maybe I’m wrong, but I’ll bet their donations do not match their costs.

Mastodon is totally cool, I’m on board, but normies don’t know what it is.

I’m just being realiatic here.

I’m an OSS guy, but running these services is not free. Someone is paying for bandwidth, power, hardware, etc.

It’s always better to regret something you have done than something you haven’t.

By the way, if you see your mother this weekend, tell her “Satan! Satan! Satan!”

The one constant in all of your failed relationships is you.

Yeah, I check in often, and the lines of communication are open. Helps to have no lying (in general), but especailly to my kids (which unfortunately needs to be said because so many people feel like it is ok).

I’m disappointed this conversation went this way. I’m way over on the “lecturing my kids” side of life. A discussion of what this meme means to those “being lectured” could provide insight to others.

I’m already going to check my lecture-meter to make sure I’m not boring my kids to death.

I dont think it is because of me, but if they are getting fewer reactions they might apread out.

I escaped ads and a dictatorship only to come here and be told how great communism is with an even greater frequency.

Blocking hexbear communities just led to those users going to other instances and making the whack-a-mole more difficult.

As a hardened atheist, I have to give it to the christians when they get something right, and forgiveness can be a powerful force for good.

Don’t forget, but do forgive.
