  No it isn’t.

  I’ve been waiting for the “big year” since 1996. It’s never going to happen. This is not to invalidate anybody’s appreciation of Linux but it’s not for the public and it never will be.

  His ass

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hubble telescope discovers rare galaxy that is 99% dark matter⁩ ⁨⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Right, but real thing or effect <> dark matter

  We’ve found absolutely ZERO evidence, only peculiarities with observations which point to bad models and DM is the fill in. The more we look, the less likely it seems to be as described.

  Weird bow Microslop hasn’t lie-boasted about quantum computing in a year.

  I take this to be a nail in dark matter’s coffin. The more I learn about it, the more it seems an outrageous placeholder for failing to correctly model and describe gravity. We’ve searched… fuck all has come out of collider research, etc. I can’t believe anymore there is a “particle”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ask AI: I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll just tell you to fuck off directly, neither have, nor need an alt to do so

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ask AI: I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not relevant. Your beef was answered.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ask AI: I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Just tried it and got the exact same response as posted. Chat GPT told me to walk there, only an idiot would drive basically.

  I reformulated the question by saying my car was 100 m away from the car wash and then it said well you’re going to the car wash anyways so….

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube adds new hurdles for ad blockers, and there's currently no way around it⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I can say that I solved this problem for me (at least in the short term, we shall see) by using a random User Agent switcher, uninstalling and reinstalling uBlock.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI start showing ads in ChatGPT⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That link is worthy of its own post I think. Great read.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Haven’t Quantum Computers Factored 21 Yet?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Seriously recommend this. I saw it a while back and found it highly informative

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spain announces plans to ban social media for under-16s⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I asked for ideas, not a rant

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spain announces plans to ban social media for under-16s⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I am asking in good faith, what is a more appropriate response?

  I work in youth crisis support, and I can say that social media addiction is on par with methamphetamine. I used to be a tech startup guy & game developer, so I’m not naive to what you’re saying either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How close are we to the games industry finally giving up the ghost and walking away from VR?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Io in True Color⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not true color. This is an “enhanced” photo.
