I was going to make a comment about how this post was “so old the Owl might even be dead”

Glad to see that’s apparently not the case.

But by that time he was a university professor… And had fought in the Great War.

Hey it’s okay, some of us get our masochism kick from butt-stuff. Some of us get it from using tools from the 70s.

I do hope GPT and DeepSeek don’t mind all the stupid roleplays I had them do with me when I was bored and my RP friends weren’t available.

cfdisk is fine

Masochists use regular fdisk. No curses tui, just a command line designed in the seventies with engineers in mind.

Assuming you’re not lying – That just makes you the artist equivalent of a scab.

Removed by mod

I’d have to relearn a bunch of shit.

Don’t feel up to it. I’m so used to my setup.

Even using SteamOS (“Arch but we modded it to be sorta kinda like an immutable distro but not really”) miffs me more than it should.

Because Gerontocracy is the true law of the land, and is older than both capitalism and feudalism.

JD Vance just existed

The pope died of cringe from experiencing Vance’s presence.

… It might have been kickboxing. I was half remembering him being some kind of sport-fighter.

Yeah before he was a Youth Pastor for the Church Of Misogyny (where jesus is replaced with EVEN MORE MISOGYNY) – He made his name as a competitive MMA fighter.

Yeah there is plenty to hate about Catholics too (hey, pedophilia) –

– But when it comes to like. Accepting reality and modernity? They are head, shoulders, and pectorals above the average Evangelical Church.

Instead they give you 9 AI Generated Images that kinda sorta look like the thing you’re supposed to click on.

Ok AIbro.

Here’s the thing.

I really liked the ending of the original series.

And I am very wary of series continuing after a satisfying ending has already been provided. Which is something I think every nerd can relate to in some way or another.

So can you guarantee I won’t be burned?

Since it seems language AIs are going to become inescapable (not a fan, but if you can’t beat 'em…), make it a toggle so that users who want to can have error messages with different “personalities”, and those who don’t can just have the machinelike codes.

Insert that intentionally unhinged thing I like to post here, about how we should bring back victorian servant-to-master etiquette but only and exclusively for computers trying to communicate with humans.

I prefer to man touch 🏳️‍🌈

I just want to point out that the insane “several steel foundries” worth of energy waste are used in training the bots, and individual requests are, by comparison, much cheaper.

Mind you AI “art” is bullshit and AI “artists” are proof that more people need to be shoved into lockers, but we don’t need misinformation to hate AI and AI bros. It’s plenty hatable with just the truth.
