Is this really what we’ve become, people? Dork-shamers?

Some poor dork saved up all their money, and bought a dork-car that they knew was defective by design, starting to fall apart even before it rolled off the dork-car assembly line. Because they had a deep, sweet dork-passion for the RoboCop franchise, Bud Light, and gun shows, with enough Venn diagram overlap to let them set common sense on indefinite hold, and follow their dork dreams, little dork heart aflutter with excitement. And then the dork returns from a hearty breakfast at Applebee’s, and finds this note pinned to their dork-mobile 😓

How would you feel if that happened to you? Maybe we’re the real dorks. Shame on us.

That’s my whole basic “speech” when I have to tell someone: “I’ve got ADD; I don’t have the H”.

I think in some places they don’t use ADD anymore, but I can’t really keep up …

Yeah, banana harvest in Denmark is still a few years off, but not that many I think! 😑🍌 /s

Denmark, so … none? 🤔

If we’re counting foraging for plants, there’s ramsons, garlic mustard, dandelions and ground elder. Probably also a bunch of edible flowers. Ground ivy springs to mind, but don’t know much about the others.

Also, guessing their standard is pretty low if Gimp does the job — at least from a professional standard. There’s not much of a comparison.

Seconded.

* gruff New Jersey accent * Pack it in, boys!

Not particularly known for their eggy texture, though 🤔

Well that’s nice. Hopefully they have some teeth, so we don’t have to go through another one of Zuck’s crocodile-tears-fuelled hearings, followed by absolutely fuck-all change 🙄

Heard about WireSock, but I’m on macOS, “sadly”.

Gluetun is running in a container in the same stack as Qbit, and Qbit knows to get its network through Gluetun.

network mode > service > gluetun or something similar (syntax is def. wrong) in the Compose.

Gluetun is connected to AirVPN through / with / using (?) WireGuard. I’m actually a bit foggy on the terminology 😅

I’m in virtually the same situation, although qbit is running in Docker through a Gluetun/Wireguard tunnel, so that part works fine.

I really wanted to do split tunnel on my Mac to access my tracker’s site (all Linux ISOs, of course) through the same tunnel, and haven’t had any success.

My workaround is running LibreWolf (modded Firefox) in the same stack, through the same tunnel. It’s not ideal, but at least it works.

Do update if you find a solution!

They’ve been towed outside the environment 👍

In curious — what’s your user level in Photoshop? Tried GIMP a few times, and loathed it, as a professional (and very proficient) Photoshop user.

I also loathe Adobe*, but i’m stuck with them (and macOS) until someone comes up with a viable alternative 😓

Managed to get somewhat comfortable with Linux (Fedora+KDE Plasma) on an old Chromebook recently, so think I might be ready to leave macOS behind, if only there was a viable Photoshop option.

* Both for bloated code, inconsistent shortcuts and features across apps, and their shitty subscription scheme.

A thought — there is a lot of news (paper?) jargon in there that makes it difficult for the layperson (including myself) to parse. It took me more lines than I care to admit to understand that the text wasn’t about office workers not having desks …

Consider a re-write with less jargon to reach a wider audience?

Fandt dette guldkorn begravet i teksten:

Han fortæller videre, at det sikkerhedspolitisk ikke vil gøre en forskel, fordi USA alligevel kan slukke for Danmarks F35-kampfly, hvis de har lyst …

Er det sandt? 😳

Dertil — rimeligt risky aprilsnar når den amerikanske regering næppe har den mentale kapacitet til at forstå humor 😑

Ja OK, det lyder ikke optimalt 🤔

Sorry, I’ll try it with crayons:

While I don’t disagree with the overall message of the article (I agree that there are a lot of reasons that AI is bad), the article itself is of poor quality (in my humble opinion), which might save someone else from wasting the 30 seconds it will take to read it. As another commentor pointed out, it seems likely that this article — arguing that AI is bad — was indeed, somewhat paradoxically, itself written by AI.

In an attempt to be helpful, I will, however, share a link to the article, which will allow others to avoid the paywall, and thus form their own opinion on the matter, seeing as the original link does not allow anyone to actually read the article in question, due to said paywall.

I’m sorry that my comment annoyed you enough to warrant the scathing review and analysis; I do, however, feel that it might be based on a somewhat flawed interpretation of what I actually wrote, possibly due to an underdeveloped prefrontal cortex (conceivably age related), or poor education, or both, combined with low impulse control (conceivably age- and/or diagnosis related).

Either way, I hope you have a great day, and good luck with life.

Not saying the sentiment is wrong, but that was a pretty lame article.
