Are you saying the headline is written well?
How did you get ‘written well’ from readable?
It may be ahead of the curve on Lemmy, but anyone suggesting it’s well-written is out on a limb.

Thankfully the slop generated by copilot et al is absolutely useless dreck. I’ve had a significant number of tasks end up broken because someone chased a dream promised by Ai slop. “Sure, you can do that in python.” “that’s definitely how that tool works.” etc.

Not so. America produces a staggering number of lawyers by population each year. This has been the case decades before the coffee thing.

Not it doesn’t. Did an Ai slop this story too?

Acid reflux? I can confirm being fed soap doesn’t even fucking cure potty mouth.
- Comment on Microsoft gives up on users experiencing problems updating their Windows 11 machines. Now recommends a "manual correction" 1 day ago:
I’ve had my enterprise-distro linux machines updating by cron for 22 years. I had two glitches in those 20 years, too, just like you. But in addition to my two glitches - I had to bring in one unlisted dep for cobbler and also correct the smb.conf’s old format on another box - in 20 years, I also got
- out-of-the-box
- do-nothing patch runs
- trivial back-out if I needed it
And while I know your numbers are excellent, I simply haven’t had to DO ANYTHING since deploying some boxes. They patch, they bounce later on a weekend if they need it (‘needs-rebooting’ is centralized because ALL software installs are) and I can patch while under load because linux write-locks instead of read-locking. My effort is to check ‘some time later’ and ensure things are working in ways nagios doesn’t catch.
Printer issues? Nah. Supply thing. App not working because java/perl/python/DLLs rug-pulled a dependency? Proper packages list hard dependencies, so that cobbler thing is a bug not an expectation. Network offline? nah. Reboots? timed at 3 minute downtime (1 min before systemd), or 7 minutes if I just updated 1gb of gitlab install because it starts like a manatee.
It’s really a different world; and while I’ve teased the heck out of my windows peers, it’s a true statement.

I heard running an object store as a filesystem was considered risky, but that’s not why it sometimes hoses your storage.

because of the Finland Sweden NATO [ascension?] thing
Yeah, I can understand that.
It’s like figuring out where Ireland is on Brexit, the UK, the British Isles, Britain, etc. It’s in half the groups Wales is in and half that it’s not.

just use proportional representation.
Prop Rep is a hard sell. The part-person math is weird. Ranked-choice is an easier sell, so if you’re looking to get off FPtP get people used to more candidates with RC before going all in with multiplayer prop rep.

Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Egypt have been caught spying on the US (or US citizens) from what I know
Dude, America has spied on even its allies. The bar is pretty low, here.

It’s been well known for decades that most government orgs
I’ve seen Muni and Regional gov and also dotcoms.
The Govs I’ve been at were crazy-tight about security. They were unionized and could decide based on conscience vs costs. Dotcoms, though, followed a different trending, one that really focused on costs.

Of course. You’re seeing it now.

Roll your own conversion script to change the notes format into one of the maybe half-dozen new doc manipulation tool suites that hook right into gitlab (and GitHub if you must).

I get that it’s a fee to safely archive and copy papers properly, with maybe access control and logging. I don’t see the fees updating with the times , even if they’re still maintaining archives with paper copies as well.
