What the… is this a real photo? Does she actually look like that??

Thanks !

Regarding that very last part of your comment (about R2D2), his and C-3PO’s memory is erased at the end of EPIII by orders of Sen. Organa, so I think that’d explain it.

Would you mind shortly elaborating on the plot holes ?

I had an interesting conversation today with an acquaintance. He has sent his resumé to dozens of companies now. Most of them, but not all, corporate blobs.

He wondered for a while just why the hell no one is even reaching out (he’s definitely qualified for most of the positions). He then came to the idea to ask a particular commercial Artificial Stupidity software to parse it. Most of those companies use that software, or at least that’s what the vendor says on its website. Turns out, that PoS software gets it all wrong. As in: everything. Positions and companies get mixed up, dates aren’t correctly registered, the job descriptions it claims to have understood only remotely match what he wrote. Read: things even the most junior programmer with two weeks of experience would get right.

And it is getting used pretty much by every big firm out there.

Oh and BTW: There is ONE correct answer to the phrase ‘using AI is no longer optional’ : Fuck you.

Er. ‘I am done with Google’. Watch the video on YouTube…

This idiotic ‘administration’ is a porn parody of itself.

“Trumpin’ Donald: America Fist”

From a purely technical perspective, I am very interested in reading/researching just how they are planning to implement this.

From a social/democratic perspective, I am very interested in finding out just what the hell they mean by ‘a well founded suspicion’. Interesting times ahead.

Turns out…You can’t claim to be superior if you aren’t superior. Who would have thought.

You’re absolutely right. Sorry for that (admittedly catastrophic) omission.

It’s 2025. If you are getting a ‘free’ software product, there’s a chance of about 99,9% that the answer to that question is either ‘analytics/tracking/telemetry/customer retention’ or a combination of many or all of them.

I love Lemmy.

Here we are, in this holy year of our lord 2025

Wondering if cats have post-nut clarity

Try Guix instead :)

Big, welcoming community; Fully libre distribution; Time-tested Scheme (Guile) instead of that stupid nix stuff.

Have you never had a corporate job? A technology can be very much useless while incompetent ‘managers’ who believe it can do better than humans WILL buy the former to get rid of the latter, even though that’s a stupid thing to do, in order to meet their yearly targets and other similar idiotic measures of division/team ‘productivity’

We do. ‘Spring fever’ is very real. What’s less clear is why.

Can you explain why you find the suggestion so outrageous ? I’m not advocating a 35 year old woman dating a 15 year old boy. I’m only saying that biology matters.

This is the one thing that’s hardly ever mentioned in the whole age gap debate, though I would add that there are constellations that are creepy by default. Being a 35+ old man, I feel that I’m at kind of a landmark age where dating someone 20 years younger than me would be gross, let alone illegal in most jurisdictions, so the ‘it depends on your behaviour and intentions’ argument doesn’t really hold. In contrast, I can very much imagine dating a 55 year old woman - and no, it’s not a MILF fetish. So in the end, your intentions/behaviour AND Gender AND actual age gap do matter IMHO.

You can argue all you want about TPM and its ‘security’. I ALWAYS thought that forcing users to use TPM 2+ hardware is planned obsolescence and nothing/no one will convince me otherwise.

The only thing affected users can and should do is to leave that PoS of an ‘operating system’.

Yea. That is THE one reason why I’d never touch GrapheneOS as long as it only runs on Pixel hardware.

I don’t see LibreCMC (https://librecmc.org/) mentioned anywhere in this thread, so correct that.

Unlike Open WRT, LibreCMC is recognised by GNU to be a fully free Linux distribution, and you still get the time-honoured LuCi web administration interface.

LibreCMC runs on much fewer devices as OpenWRT, which can be a feature for those who are overwhelmed by the length of OpenWRT’s list.

This is a very good, comprehensive and comprehensible answer. Thank you!
