Wait, you can just do `cp live.iso /dev/sda` to flash a bootable image to a usb thumbdrive?

Why did I bother typing out `dd` commands all these years?

Wow. Disclosure Day is one of the worst films I have ever seen. Straight to the 1/5 star bin.

it feels like the script was generated by an LLM trained on fanfiction of various popular works of sci-fi.

It is also intellectually insulting to the audience on every level.

Anyone in or near Berlin interested in a used but very well kept ZSA Moonlander split mechanical keyboard?

I'm moving to a full size keyboard and this one will need a new home.

(White model, Cherry MX Brown switches installed, plus a replacement set of MX Blue, price 150€)

UPDATE: it's gone. thanks for boosting everyone :)

Forgive me for I have sinned*

* Bought a new mechanical keyboard

This is one of those photos that I'd like to send back in time 25 years for young Esther to see so she can make some informed choices about her life.

This is what you look like effortlessly at 41, if you start transitioning at 32.

Imagine, if you started right now at 16.

A sports bra under this dress definitely works!

ThinkPad T14s (1st Gen, from 2020) as a Linux (Debian) machine ... opinions?

Should work fine, right?

Not bad for a phone camera

Partial eclipse from Germany. Really happy with how this shot turned out. Taken with an Acuter Elite Phoenix 40 and a ToupTek G3M678M.

Ok, seen it

There was a mantis sitting on the front door yesterday. I've never seen one in real life before.

I moved it to a bush in the back yard so it wouldn't get crushed in the door hinge but damn these little fuckers are strong. It really held on to its spot.

I'm also selling a 1st Gen Apple TV 4K, 64GB:

Chatbots are literally designed to require no skill to use. There is nothing to learn.

"Prompt engineering" has been magical thinking from the start.

It's like claiming "scrolling tiktok" is a skill.

"You must learn AI skills or you'll be left behind?"

What skills? Saying "Mommy, please do my homework for me"?

That's not a skill.

Bear in mind when you ask an LLM to explain why it did what it did (or didn't), you're asking faces on toast to explain faces on toast.

It's not explaining. It's plausibly completing.

And you fell for it twice.
