Have a nice day.

When you acted exasperated at having to explain something, for example. Or now, asking for proof that you were mad. These things are not done in normal, polite conversation.
- Comment on California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup 1 day ago:
So you literally got mad at a made-up scenario in your head?

And why would this particular law exempt Azure Linux only and specifically?
- Comment on California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup 1 day ago:
I meant that the law is easily bypassed, for example by not implementing what you described. Good point nonetheless.

What does that have to do with anything?
- Comment on Why is the USA attacking Iran? 2 days ago:
It answers the title, says why now, and refers to the POTUS and his “tendency” to act on personal rather than national interest. I don’t think it was that unhelpful, though of course it’s a simplification.

I’m not saying I’m smarter than you but to me it looks like “Hey yeah we require age verification. So, anyway…”
A token easily bypassed “verification” law to set and forget. It’s basically the same level of security corrently keeping teenage boys off of PornHub.

Microsoft’s own servers run Linux. An in-house build IIRC named Azure Linux.

Your average legislator hears the word “Docker” and imagines a ship unloading cargo. Of course computers on ships need age verification! Voters will appreciate a crackdown on nautical child labor.

To distract from the Epstein files and make Trump’s handlers money on oil.
- Comment on Which game have you been most patient for? 6 days ago:
For what it’s worth, the final version of Civ V with the expansions is for me the best game in the franchise, even better than Civ IV. Maybe you should give it another chance.
I’ve been playing Civ games since III shortly before IV came out and they all seem to follow this pattern. VI was a mess on release, but now it’s actually pretty good though not as good as V.

I was referring to The Lord of the Rings.
- Comment on Researchers have found the cause of hallucinations in LLMs, H-Neurons: On the Existence, Impact, and Origin of Hallucination-Associated Neurons in LLMs 6 days ago:
So tue tldr is just what we already knew: LLMs predict the most likely word to come next and have no concept of “true” or “false” information.
Indeed, to have such a concept would require understanding that information and any AI that actually understood information wouldn’t be an LLM because LLMs are just fancy autocorrect.
- Comment on Bcachefs creator claims his custom LLM is 'fully conscious' 6 days ago:
“Seems” being the operating word here. But children think that Muopets are conscious. The most famous work of fantasy fiction is about a malevolent piece of jewelry. Humans are very good at attributing consciousness to non-conscious entities. We are easily fooled in this respect.
Even if some putative AI may be conscious, an LLM is just something that looks up words in a database with probability weights attached. This technology cannot lead to consciousness.
- Comment on Which game have you been most patient for? 6 days ago:
I’m waiting for Civilizarion VII’s first expansion to come out before buying the base game, as that’s usually the time when a Civ game has had all the problematic bugs and balancing issues worked out.
- Comment on Never understood this. If something foreign enters you your white blood cells go after it like a dog in heat, Would this not mean that our cells are smart enough to discern bad from good? 1 week ago:
How do you explain autoimmune diseases then?
- Comment on LibreOffice blasts 'fake open source' OnlyOffice for working with Microsoft to lock users in 1 week ago:
What a terribly misleading post title.
The post title contains literally the entire OnlyOffice-related content of the article, which is titled “Why ODF and not OOXML”. Here’s the first paragraph:
Many interpreted the last article in this series as an attack on Microsoft for using the OOXML format against users’ interests. However, this was only one of my objectives, as I also wanted to raise users’ awareness of fake open-source software, such as OnlyOffice, which partners with Microsoft in a strategy to lock users in.
Everything after this is about closed vs open standards.
- Comment on What television series in your opinion had very good writing and character depth? 1 week ago:
The Good Place. It starts off deceptively shallow but by the end it became one of my favorite shows of all time.
Dark. The constant time travel makes it hard to keep track of what’s going on a lot of the time but if you can manage, it’s very rewarding. Great character development. Not the best ending, but good enough.
Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad have some poorly written characters but the well-written ones are very well-written.
I didn’t include any shows based on books because I felt that would go against the scope of your question.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Nice.
- Comment on Overseerr & Jellyseerr to merge into Seerr 2 weeks ago:
They’re all for downloading copyrighted content or for performing auxiliary functions to downloading copyrighted content (e.g. Bazaar downloads subtitle files, which aren’t copyrighted), not for torrenting specifically. You can use Usenet clients or torrent clients as backend.

What alternative do you recommend for watching YouTube on a PC?
- Comment on YouTube adds new hurdles for ad blockers, and there's currently no way around it 2 weeks ago:
You shouldn’t present a buased take from developer drama as fact. ReVanced is fine.

They couldn’t pay me to take a Tesla. No resale value.
