woa woa. My comment was not meant to be dismissive or to argue against you posting. Sorry if it seemed that way. Was more my way of saying its not an isolated thing and its so surprising the folks that will support these guys and not be knowledgeable enough to know its a bad move.

Thats wild. I don’t have much hope for llm’s if things like this is how they are doing things and I would not be surprised given how well they don’t work. Too much quantity over quality in training.

Do we have to go that far back? Haven’t putins early supporters suffered from sudden severe impact syndrome?

Any idea what the point of these are then? Sounds like its reporting a fake bug.

Might be a generational thing but I never like social media much and the ones I engaged in like slashdot then reddit and now here ; well I like to treat it like talking with friends in a basement or bar or whatever. So I guess what im saying is I don’t really look at my posts or comments. I rely and try to have conversations and sometimes they get heated and sometimes they get goofy. Often at the same time. I realize there are bots and shills and trolls so if things get to wierd I will check what the person has wrote in the past and if they don’t seem like a real human being I will block them. I never really look at the up or down votes when I evaluate an account in that way. It took me back that piefed had a threshold. that worked back in the day with slashdot but not in the days of botsNcrap. Sorry don’t really have answers for ya but just a perspective.

I mean if trump were not in office and if we were talking the one russia took over and we would give it back afterwards then this would make some sense. Sounds like he is saying the us should take over all their infrastructure though and of course he would eff up anything under him.

It would be a bit of a pain. I see it with bird and terrapin beaks and claws. If they don’t have something to wear them down they become problematic. I know the thought is well I will just keep them warn down but I bet it would be like staying in shape or for that matter keeping our teeth in good shape as it is, which many folk don’t do.

You get my standard reply that I use zorin which is an ubuntu based distro that tries to give the look of feel of windows and has a lot of default installed things like wine/playonlinux, libreoffice, app for disc burning, rdp client, basically most everything I would want for day to day use. It is not necessarily the best gaming distro and its certainly not bleeding edge. Its a great install and get to doing things right away distro to me which is what I want.

not that I know of but my sister got diagnosed before it hit her to hard and she started on some medication in the hopes of pushing it off. They just asked their primary care.

Watching this now. Its pretty good.

lack of sun in winter means its right out. its always nice to not be bundled up but height of summer can be oppressive which is like mid to late. Thing with spring and some degree fall is it can be wet and colder than you want for rain. I don’t know if I have one favorite season but I think I have the most days I enjoy being outdoors in the summer with it usually tending to be earlier summer and then spring and then fall with winter being the bottom of the tier. Even if the sun were out in winter I think it would be bottom. Its nice having a few snowy days to enjoy if its not bitterly cold but it loses its charm pretty fast.

can’t wait for this to be in distros by default.

Tell me you never owned a golden retriever without telling me you never owned a golden retriever.

I mean boomers were not necessarily watching the shows at that time. Its possible it was more silent generation or greatest generation. I mean I don’t know but also who watches what now is abit skewed due to all the options. Streaming stuff was not until post 2k, flicks by mail were late 90’s so before that was just broadcast, cable, and video shows and that came in the 80’s. Before that was just broadcast. Its one reason everyone knows friends and seinfeld because it was still in the time were nearly everyone watched what was broadcast and if they missed it they could tape it.

I was a bit confused until I saw it was about how everyone finds her strange because of it. It is wierd to think folks pretend to like things. Even wierder are folks that are against things that are not their thing.

just go to nasas site or its youtube channel. Everything you see from a news article from nasa they make public themselves. they don’t give places special sneak peaks or anything.

yeah im just saying one show does not mean anything. heck andy griffith was more a small town show than a cop show. The town was so small that the sherrifs office was one of the few public services in the area. It was more akin to little house on the prarie. I mean going the opposite we have blue bloods, chicago p.d, swat, fbi, the rookie, oncall are all recent cop shows but we also have 911, chicago fire, station 19. I would say cop vs general emergency responder vs hospital/doctor show ratios are not that different today than back when boomers were the main television audience. Those types of shows were always popular structures to run dramas from. Both I would say have about the same on private eye type stuff although there was a period. sometime around the original fantasy island I would say. were there was an unusually large amount of private eye ones for some reason.

Which one. Andy griffith or emergency?

If one show is proof then my counter argument would be emergency.

Sorry this does not answer your question but zorin os it a great out of the box distro that tries to look and feel like windows and has almost everything you need as part of the installation including wine and play on linux and an rdp client. it has the ubuntu software gui interface but if you use it I would prioritize learning to use apt at the command line as I feel the gui software thing as a bit pants. I used unix extensively in my tech career but did not use it as a daily driver (for a variety of “reasons”) till under a year ago where windows 11 just made it necessary to do. I have future plans to go to an immutable but man zorin is great for a quick and dirty up and running thing. Also if you have an old laptop throw it on that. You will be amazed at how it may outperform your newer machine with windows.
