> A world government dictatorship is due to sit atop a massive global structure of control and 24/7 enslavement and most of its major pillars are included in something called Agenda 21 (since updated to Agenda 2030) which is interweaved with themes of ‘sustainable development’ and ‘biodiversity’ and justified by ‘climate change’.

even the cheesy bond villains are late on their projects, don't you see!

GNU/Linux reads like they/them pronouns. Just as cumbersome to say.

You know what sucks? When AI appears smart but its explaination is so over your head you don't even fully grasp if it is bullshitting or not.

For reference, what the following does is decomposes several runs of a network, takes them as samples, then generates a distribution with those samples. It then applies a fourier transform on the samples, to get the frequency components of the networks derivatives (first and second order), in order to find winning subnetworks to tune, and enforces a gaussian distribution in the process.

I sort of understand that, but the rest is basically rocket science to me.

Starts with an explanation of basic neural nets and goes from there. Most of the meat of the discussion is at the bottom.

Need to try chocolate covered bacon tonight!

Relatable devlife exclamation:
I'm sooooo tiiiiiiiiired...

The dealerships finally have the paint job I wanted on the new Teslas:

Dear KDE Plasma, I'm sorry. I treated you way too harshly, unfairly even. Yes, you was unpolished back in 2018. Assuming you still were did nothing but prove my own ignorance.
Your out-of-the-box polish and support for modern screens, UI scaling, trackpads, smooth scrolling, etc. is unparalleled.

PSYCHIATRY IS WRONG. IT'S A POLITICAL TOOL TO REMOVE DISSIDENCE AND PUNISH OUT OF NORMS BEHAVIOR, EXPLOIT PEOPLE AND EXTRACT WEALTH FROM THE HEALTH SYSTEM BY SELLING THEM PILLS.

WE SHOULD KILL THE PSYCHOLOGISTS.

That heart attack when important data isn't showing anymore, and you missed the note as to why, so now you're stressed out because you don't know what and how hard you fucked up

Also, fuck the dude for saying he did the deploy, telling the testers to test and only an hour or 2 later saying he didn't deploy to the right env

What's your take on the Ghimli studio drama.

Here is mine.

So for reminder, apparently shitGPT started generating images (big whoop) and all the normies are using it to mimic their favorite japan cringy anime.

Which apparently isn't to the taste of the anime drawer, who is apparently trying to sue everyone for copying his art style. Including not only chat GPT, but individual users as well.

So:

1. IA is a gadget. It's pretty convenient but if you think it will fundamentally change the fabric of society, you're an idiot.
2. There is no such thing as IntEllECtuAl ProperTy
3. Metallica's singer is a bitchtard. Suing for people to steal your music is the opposite of metal, retard. Same shit for the japan retard, i'll never watch your ghimlee shit now. Princess mononoke my balls, more like streissand so close no matter how far my dick. I hate you and I want your nails removed and then your finger dipped in salt.

Usually I come here to share rants/negativity but this time I wanna share an happy moment I had yesterday as a programmer.

In lots of instances I struggled to work on personal projects: I feel the desire to code cool stuff but I've often self-sabotaged myself by doing stuff like:

- self-enforcing "one man agile methodologies" with tasks, issue boards and lately time tracking
- forcing myself to do long study/research periods about the language/technologies I wanna use before writing the first line of code (and when I was able to actually end my research and get to code most of the stuff I researched was forgotten since cramming information is not effective on the long run)
- forcing myself to stick with all the "best practices" under the sun and to setup countless tools (linters, CI, unit testing...) before even getting a working POC

Usually all these stupid self imposed rules ended up in me procrastinating or pushing trough stuff struggling with headache after headache when coding actually used to feel a mostly fun pursuit to me.

Took lots of time to recognize this monster I created into my head but finally yesterday I did and I gave myself permission to:

- Start programming with just the very basics of the language (while reading a book on said language on the side at a relaxed pace, I can always come back later to improve my code as I learn more)
- Add stuff (unit testing, complex frameworks, CI/CD...) only when I need it
- Do a very basic planning (like a text files listing "must have" features and "nice to have features") and avoid issue boards and stuff, I'm working on a hobby project not on a company or a big OSS projects

It's been so long since the last time I had a programming session where I spent most time actually writing code and not researching and overthinking stuff and it felt great.

You know these bugs, that disappear when you add logging?

intel management engine and other hardware backdoors were never exploited by any actor of any caliber successfully enough to make any difference — the weakest link was always something else. the biggest negative impact built-in hardware backdoors have on privacy as an institution is that when people find out they exist, they say "okay, they got me, there is nowhere to run, so I can either go live in the forest or accept my fate and carry on using windows."
that was exactly their intent all along. in reality, you _do_ have a choice. using Linux _does_ save you from their eyes.
hardware backdoors were _never_ successfully exploited.

Fedora sucks harder than I do

Got this message from my CEO: "When are we going to have a perfect working version? 100% sure without bugs? "

How do I even respond to this? "We are wondering the same"?

(for context, he requested an early alpha build of a certain feature)

I hate wen people nag. If I say I'm going to do something, I'll do it.

You don't need to whine every six months

Sid teaches us the importance of mother's love. Because motherless child grows up to be a spiteful, butthurt person like Sid.

retoor teaches us the importance of father's love. You get the idea.

when an Indian say "you don't need privacy if you have nothing to hide", you call him "pajeet". when an American say that, you call him "strong leader". Guys, learn the difference already!

Is VSCode Copilot Edit chat/agent not working for anyone else? ....

😡

So I do some custom development I run a docker container and want to access the web page from my phone hosted from my PC but first want to test if is reachable with the IP of my machine I put http://192.168.1.126 :9123 into the address bar of Firefox, and get redirected to google search.
Fcuk Firefox, I used this browser for years but no more, all this great privacy and security is a junk. Can't paste images to Web WhatsApp because of some security bullshit!
Switched to Librewolf but generally fcuk all browsers for http:// forced to https , the browser should be smart to detect 192.168.x.x IP and not redirect knowing it's fcuking local address!
