I feel age has little to do with it. I‘ve seen these traits in people from all ages.

I hope it works out for you in the end. Good luck!

I work in a small lab. Our systems are controlled using two computers that run 24/7. The main real-time control stack is open source and open hardware. I happens in a Linux box that runs NixOS. I would trust my life to that machine and fly it to the end of the universe and back again. It just never fails. We can even run updates while everything keeps running undisturbed. Some devices need drivers that only work with Windows. The second computer runs those under Windows 11. In contrast we have to babysit that machine constantly, USB connections are unreliable, things fail randomly. When we have to update, the world comes to a halt. It‘s an amazing difference.

I‘m very glad the company where I work has explicitly prohibited the use of AI for coding, in fear of spilling their company secrets.

I admire its purity. A survivor…unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality.

Pay with a check.

Nice read, thanks.

I love the word christofascist. I‘ll try to use it more from now on.

I bring my own wet tissues for this reason.

Ahh…. I was there my friend. Similar setup, 486 DX4 100, USRobotics modem. I had the IRQ conflict. Me and my friend figured out how to change the channels by reading the mainboard‘s manual. I had to change some jumpers around. It was my first modem and I had never connected to the internet before.

I believe he’s talking about Germany not allowing critique on war crimes and mass murder if perpetrated by Israel.

Same.

Kill

Seven days….

I think it would!

Yep used it for a while. Pretty solid, free and uncomplicated. Just send a link with a random word appended and you are meeting.

I am of the opinion that orgasming is one‘s responsibility. One orgasms with their partners. I see sex as a kind of shared masturbation.

NixOS is cooler.

ARTIQ (Advanced Real-Time Infrastructure for Quantum physics)

State of the art control system for physics experiments, for example atomic clocks or ion-trap based quantum computers. Originated at NIST.

Open source and open hardware. Official way to install on Linux is via Nix package manager. Very awesome and very fun. Experiments are written in Python.

Agree, I didn’t see it from that perspective.
