Do you worry about people taking things seriously?

“the left”
like there’s only one.
Even broadly, at the far side, roughly speaking, without even dividing up across other criteria or gradations of economic “leftness”, nor other quirks of specificity…
- anarcho left. -10,-10 to -0.01,-10
- libertarian left, e.g -10,-5 to -0.01,-5
- moderate left, e.g. -10,0 to -0.01,0
- tanky left. e.g -10,6 to -0.01,6
- totalitarian left. e.g. -10,10 to -0.01,10
- fake left. e.g around 5,5
One of these is not like the others.
… Well… the others are not like the others either…
But that does not matter to those who only speak of the fake left, as if it’s not not left, as if it’s the only left, calling it “the left”.

I was thinking of…
I was thinking Charlie meant church, and kirk meant church,
So,
Church Church.
But I looked it up…
French and English form of Carolus, the Latin form of the Germanic name Karl, which was derived from a word meaning “man” (Proto-Germanic *karlaz). However, an alternative theory states that it is derived from the common Germanic name element *harjaz meaning “army”.
So,
Man Church
Or,
Army Church.

And in this coming year, those who were born in 2008, ~ (you remember, 2008, the year of that economic collapse from banker shenanigans that we all pay for, and Obama inaugurated), ~ will be old enough to vote and drink in most places.

Now I have the lumberjacks song stuck in my head all day.

My fave, You Don’t Need To Follow Anybody.
With its catchy lyrics…
Look, you’ve got it all wrong.
You don’t need to follow me.
You don’t need to follow anybody!
You’ve got to think for yourselves!
You’re all individuals!
You’re all different!
You’ve all got to work it out for yourselves.
Don’t let anyone tell you what to do!

over 20 years past giving up on school [in 2nd year of college], when they kept failing me.
- Comment on I dunno 2 weeks ago:
Oops! Typo. School failed me hard!
- Comment on I dunno 2 weeks ago:
Hrmm.
I read that as resulting in 21.
My education system did fail me.
I plugged that into ghci as 5+2*(8-5), and it says 17.
:(
I did (5+2)*(8-5).
Doh.

A patient cured, a customer lost. A dead customer, just a cost of business.
^ Say “for profit medicine” (oxymoron btw), behind closed doors.

Welcome to USA, I guess.
In other countries, you could probably completely fill a fridge with insulin for $800.
- Comment on In wake of Windows 10 retirement, over 780,000 Windows users skip Win 11 for Linux, says Zorin OS developers — distro hits unprecedented 1 million downloads in five weeks 2 weeks ago:
So… a few months before this, Linux had been noted to have just tipped 5% desktop market share…
What’s it going to be like now? 6%? 10%!?

- Comment on Screw it, I’m installing Linux 2 weeks ago:
Oh. Thanks. I wouldn’t/didn’t know. GNOME’s insanity is even greater than KDE4’s insanity. So insane (and anti-user) it overshadows its other flaws. I cant even bring myself to suffer it to find out its bloated.
- Comment on Screw it, I’m installing Linux 2 weeks ago:
It did. Even by KDE5 (which frankly I cant see much difference from KDE6).
But still, it’s never perfect.
And is still the fattiest FOSS has to offer.
- Comment on Microsoft finally admits almost all major Windows 11 core features are broken 2 weeks ago:
Yup.
Well… it’s still plausible that a senior developer could still be vibe coding. We’d hope they not though.
And the other way too… can use an LLM and not be doing vibe coding. Like me (not considered a “senior developer”), making fin, with extensive consultations with several LLM, I insist is not vibe coded. lemmy.wtf/post/26550037
Takes a lot of discipline to not succumb to just blindly letting the machine do it, not reviewing nor learning the code; Takes discipline to keep using it as a tool to expedite your learning. Too easy a lure to fall for, the illusion of its competence and convenience.
“We believe when you let a machine do the work of a man, you take something away from the man.” (or words to that effect), from one of the Star Trek TNG movies.

Good stuff.
Though, I don’t think “headless” is the correct term there.
I asked Mistral LLM to check…
define headless, in terms of computing
In computing, “headless” refers to a system, device, or software that operates without a graphical user interface (GUI) or direct user interaction via a monitor, keyboard, or mouse. Instead, it is controlled remotely or through command-line interfaces (CLIs), APIs, or network protocols. Key Aspects of Headless Computing:
No Local Display: The system lacks a physical screen or input devices attached directly to it. Remote Management: Users interact with the system over a network (e.g., SSH, RDP, or web interfaces). Common Use Cases:
Servers: Headless servers are standard in data centers, where administrators manage them remotely. Embedded Systems: Devices like Raspberry Pi or IoT gadgets often run headless to save resources. Virtualization: Headless virtual machines or containers are managed via hypervisors or orchestration tools. Automation: Headless browsers (e.g., Puppeteer, Selenium) automate web tasks without rendering a GUI.
Example: A headless Raspberry Pi might run a home automation script, accessible only via SSH or a web dashboard, with no monitor or keyboard connected. Would you like examples of headless software or tools?
Some do use their GNU+Linux (or BSD or others), running in just TTY, just the terminal, without X11 or wayland, but even then that does not necessarily mean no GUI, with some graphical tools (like “mpv” is a good example) able to run without a graphical server (and certainly at least TUI… the web browser “browsh” is a good example). And not necessarily not headless either, with either direct use, or perhaps ssh’ing in through a network, or just running things configured to automate (as per the example the LLM gave). “Dumb terminals” are another related thing, where the “head” is separate.

It’s frightening to me that I seem like an expert.
I also don’t think I have “strong opinions”. Just ever evolving preferences as I continue to explore.
