The only appropriate response to that is

git: 'gud' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

Five times slower for us distant observers, regular time (1 second = 1 second) if you're actually there, if I'm understanding this correctly.

Still, difficult to wrap my brain around.

Greta taking town Tate is one of those things that is head canon to me, truth be damned.

Missing Titan submersible is operated by a cheap game controller by Gork in c/news@beehaw.org
[-] Gork@beehaw.org 10 points 1 year ago

I've used the F710 so that our family can couch co-op in the living room. For a Logitech controller it's pretty solidly built and is of the era where Logitech peripherals were of good quality (unlike now, rip new G503s). I noticed that the wireless range kinda sucked if it didn't have direct LOS to the receiver, but it has good rumble feedback and I like the smooth matte black underside material (feels good to the touch).

Reddit CEO Triples Down, Insults Protesters, Whines About Not Making Enough Money From Reddit Users by Gork in c/news@beehaw.org

Ah but it's exclusive you see. Your avatar can be a glowy, animated Snoo, whereas everyone else just has free peasant avatars.

For the low price of 105 ETH $(227,389.05). Makes about as much sense as the really high priced ships in Star Citizen.

Republicans Declare Banning Universal Free School Meals a 2024 Priority by Gork in c/news@beehaw.org

How did this get normalized? Why is this even something that is even considered debatable? As a society, feeding our children should be the first priority.

I'm flubbered.

The Internet Is Failing The Website Preservation Test by Gork in c/technology@beehaw.org
[-] Gork@beehaw.org 10 points 1 year ago

Yeah and unless someone has the exact knowledge of what hard drive to look for in a server rack somewhere, tracing an individual site's contents that went 404 is practically impossible.

I wonder though if Cloud applications would be more robust than individual websites since they tend to be managed by larger organizations (AWS, Azure, etc).

Maybe we need a Svalbard Seed Vault extension just to house gigantic redundant RAID arrays. 😄

This is something that keeps me worried at night. Unlike other historical artefacts like pottery, vellum writing, or stone tablets, information on the Internet can just blink into nonexistence when the server hosting it goes offline. This makes it difficult for future anthropologists who want to study our history and document the different Internet epochs. For my part, I always try to send any news article I see to an archival site (like archive.ph) to help collectively preserve our present so it can still be seen by others in the future.

I mentioned this in an adjacent thread, but as much as I hate downvoting in principle, I will gladly downvote that AMA out of principle.

In the realm of artificial intelligence (AI), professionals often compare the progress of AI systems to raising a toddler. Similar to how toddlers rely on adults for guidance and education to develop and mature, AI creations like the widely known chatbot phenomenon ChatGPT also depend on human intervention to gain knowledge and communication abilities.

Why use pi when you can use 🥧
