“Hey Siri, show me all my pictures without my ex-wife in them.”

(nothing)

They could have made them even slower if the old architecture doesn’t cost so much more to manufacture.

Stress.

I once got a group message from my child’s teacher, screaming in excitement that “the event at school is live!”

The link points to 192.168.x.x.

I like XFCE4 but there is no compositor for it yet.

I don’t have to; I just need to hear you described it to me. :)

You get six consoles at boot. Isn’t that enough for you?

Back in the day when embedded devices are running Linux kernel 2.6, the kernel is gzipped and saved to an SPI flash, then extracted to RAM and run from there.

Does that sound immutable enough to you?

The decision on this design wasn’t for an immutable system, but just that flash chips were expensive. Immutability was an accidental achievement.

Actually we developers dreamed every day we can directly modify the operating system ad hoc, not needing to go through the compile-flash-boot agonising process just to debug a config file.

You see, my point is, when a system is in good hands, it just does not break. End of story.

Maybe the next time before you guys press Enter after pacman -Syyu (not exclusively saying your distro is bad, Arch pals, sorry), think about the risk and recovery plan. If you are just an end user expecting 100% uptime and rarely contributing (reporting bugs at least), consider switch to a more stable distro (I heard Debian is good), and ask yourself if you want an immutable distro, or do you just want a super stable system.

You could have booted the old kernel in Grub.

I think “atomic” means “a bunch of actions grouped together as one action”, so that the system won’t end up in a state where some required actions are missing and becomes unusable. But it doesn’t mean it’s unto itself making a system unbreakable: If your system starts in a state of malfunctioning, then it also takes a series of actions to fix it, be it atomic or not.

Most Linux distributions start in the state of functioning after installation.

Tried multiple attempts to make myself understand CMake with no success. With GNU Make it just explains itself.

Wrong community, dude.

Website: Skynet is dooming the world tomorrow!

Website: Update: You can just tell it not to doom the world if you don’t want it. Nothing more to see here. Move on.

Typical.

Also do you need your watch to tell you how you slept last night? Do you even need your watch to be a watch at all to tell time? You phone can tell time, FFS. Hell even lift your head and look at the sky. It’s a lost fine art.

Technology is for making your life better, not make you depend on it.

-Thanks for saving us, Mr. Zelda.

-My name is Link.

-Then who’s this Zelda?

-You won’t see her until the end of the game.

-She’s a “her”?

-Yes, she’s the princess of… uh… Never mind. Let me show you this cool bomb I picked up in the last room.

I don’t recall doing any regular updates

You needed to buy a modem to get online

If you stay offline, you don’t need upgrading to prevent virus or hacking. That’s the norm in the good old days.

Which part of it does it look AI-generated to you?

If you pay attention to her shirt, you can see diagonal folding lines on the clothes because presumably one of her shoulder is higher than the other. The artist made it consistent across three panels and it’s clearly a human’s intention.

I support indie developers. I loved World of Goo 1.

Sorry, but your argument is very weak. A pirated version of a game would not have additional features for no reason. A poorly done port is a poorly done port. There is no excuse of it. It may work well on the touchscreen, but I enjoy playing on my TV more.

And I am not a petty person who pirate everything as I assume you think. All I said is World of Goo 2 has unplayable control in docked mode on Switch. I would give my money to Windows/Mac/Linux version instead, where I can use a mouse.

But control scheme aside, I don’t find the stages of it challenging and interesting enough for me to buy the game. In fact I stopped playing after stage 3 or so.

This has nothing to do with AI. Facial detection was there decades before the AI hype.
