That is a weird aspect... Like the mental gymnastics required to subvert the actual message of Jesus requires so much magic and hundreds of years of killing anyone who read it unguided

You have to be kidding me... It's like they're not even trying

Yeah, well... Got room for 60 million immigrants?

Your saying it wrong

"Your honor, masked thugs were attempting to kidnap the very scared man. They also refused to identify themselves or explain the situation"

Well I'd take the destinations on the Shinkansen for wherever I'm going now...

I mean... I don't think the paperwork is going to account for spaceships. So... Put the spaceship in the barn, say you found him out in the field, and there's no fraud

Lies of omission don't count when you're dealing with the state

Doesn't mean the Kent's didn't lie, just that they might not have done anything fraudulently

Well, not anymore. Now we don't have coordinated rescues... Even in Texas, the Fed took 3 days to provide support, because it all has to be signed by Christi Nome and apparently she was busy

So... Maybe do show up? Who knows at this point. But ideally, with an RV or camping equipment, because where are the victims and professionals going to stay

I mean... They kind of didn't though

In major cities, sure. Even smaller ones will have Indian places. But they're proportional to the amount of Indians in an area

Because there's a big difference... Everyone can go to a Chinese restaurant and confidently order. Everyone knows what sushi is, even if some people don't eat it. Thai foods are less known, but the menus are very Americanized, so you go once and you get the idea

I know the good Indian restaurant back home, but I only know the dishes by color. Lots of naan and wet dishes... They were good, but I couldn't tell you what they were. And if the sign says Indian food, I don't know what they serve. So I've only been to the one place

Vindaloo and curry? That is everywhere, but I've never had an Indian version of it. The British spread vindaloo and curry spread itself

At this point, he's probably over qualified

But he'd get my vote

How can a baby give false pretense though?

If you find a baby in a field (hiding the spaceship, let's just leave that quiet), what happens next?

A baby cannot bear false witness... It's a baby. The parents can, but that doesn't necessarily affect the baby's citizenship status

Trade it out for the assumed situation...a Kansas teen gave birth to the kid and left him in a field. This is an American with no documentation... But they're assumed to be legit by their age. And so they get documentation

And yeah, Superman doesn't match that situation exactly, but it looks the same from the outside. The state won't know the difference

Ultimately, there are no illegal people. All these roles are made up.... People live where they live. The system is the problem, not the people

Is it fraud though? Not necessarily... You could just say "I found this baby, and now it's mine", and if it's young enough it'll get birthright citizenship

But this is mostly splitting hairs... But more fundamentally, I don't believe people can be illegal for existing, so I'm never going to say someone is.

But would Superman get deported if they knew his history? MAGA people are saying they'd deport Jesus if he didn't come in "the right way", you tell me

IDK, I'm not that into comics, especially DC

I think they just declared him their son (which is a thing you can do if they're still X months old) and got him an SSN and birth certificate. If you have an at home birth, you have quite a while to legitimize it

 

For the last week or so, I've been waking up several hours earlier than normal and not being able to get back to restful sleep. I've never had this problem before, I'm just getting more exhausted by the day because I'm not getting to sleep much earlier

Then I find out other people are experiencing the same thing, same timeframe - around a week ago it just started for seemingly no reason

 

Between wanting to do more with local LLMs, wsl annoyances, and the direction tech companies have been going lately, I think it's time I start exploring a full Linux migration

I'm a software dev, I'm comfortable in the command line, and I used to write the node configuration piece of something similar to chef (flavor/version agnostic setup of cloud environments)

So for me, Linux has always been a "modify the script and rebuild fresh" kind of deal... Even my dev VMs involved a lot of scripts and snapshots. I don't enjoy configuration and I really hate debugging it, but I can muddle through when I have to

Web searches have pushed me towards Ubuntu for LLM work, but I've never been a big fan of the window Managers. I like little flourishes like animation and lots of options I can set graphically, I use multiple desktop multiple monitors

I've tried the one it comes standard with, gnome, and kde (although it's been about 5 years since I've last given them a real shot).

I'm mostly looking for the most reasonable footprint that is "good enough", something that feels polished to at least the Windows XP level - subtle animations instead of instant popups, rounded borders, maybe a bit of transparency here and there.

I'm looking at Ubuntu w/

  • kde w/ plasma (I understand it's very configurable, I don't love the look and it seems to be a bigger footprint

  • budgie (looks nice, never heard of it before today)

  • kylin (looks very Windows 10 which is nice, a bit skeptical about the Chinese focus)

  • mate (I like the look, but it seems a bit dubiously centralized)

  • unity (looks like the standard Ubuntu taken to it's natural conclusion)

  • rhino Linux (something new which makes me skeptical, but pretty and seems more like existing tools packaged together which makes me think the issues might not impact actual workflow)

  • anything the community is big on for this, personally I'd pick opensuze, but I need to maximize compatibility with bleeding edge LLM projects

My hardware and hard requirements are:

  • nvidia 1060ti
  • ryzen 5500u
  • 16g ram
  • 4 drives nearly full, because it's a computer of Theseus running the same (upgraded) vista license that came with the case like 15 years ago
  • multi desktop, multi monitor
  • can handle a lot of browser Windows/tabs
  • ideally the setup is just a package mana ger install script with all my dependencies
  • gaming support would be nice, but I'll be dual booting for VR anyways

I've been out of the game for a while, I'd love to hear what the feeling is in the community these days

(Side note, is pine as cool a company as it seems?)
