I’d rather use a free alternative than run a script off a random website

Per year, by the way

No that was the Cortina. Cortana is a coastal city in Colombia.

only for the billionaires who own the AI though.

Ironically, sending physical storage media via snail mail has higher bandwidth than sending data through the world wide web. Latency is bad though.

www and the internet aren’t the same thing.
You can’t use the world wide web without the internet, but you can use the internet without the world wide web.

A permissions change in one database can bring down half the Internet now.

From a Cloudflare customer’s point of view, I don’t care if my site is down from a DDOS or a Cloudflare outage, but the latter seems to happen more often.

Aren’t spikes in unusual traffic the exact thing Cloudflare is supposed to protect you from?

The bill says they’ll release all unclassified files…

There’s nothing uncontroversial about human genetic modification.
It’s a pandora’s box that just shouldn’t be opened.

As one of the great scholars of our time has said:
“Nobody knows what a magnet is.”

You’re comparing a kernel with an entire operating system.

I royally fucked up when I first started using a password manager:
I created a password entry, copied the password from it, clicked on “change password” in the account I wanted to update, and pasted in.
Repeat for all my accounts, without testing in between.
I forgot that Linux has two separate clipboards for CTRL+C/V and middle click paste.
I used the wrong one for pasting and changed all my passwords to whatever was in the other clipboard at that moment.
Then I shut the computer down.
And then I realized what I’d just done.

My password is

Even if the alien species had completely incompatible biology (no DNA or RNA), a human body is still a warm habitat that contains water and useful minerals. So something small would probably settle inside of us.
And our immune system couldn’t interact with it and therefore not kill it.

I had the exact same use case.
MX Linux was the only thing I could get to boot on this unholy combination of 32bit CPU and UEFI.
It’s also a really good distro in general.

Yes. Blahaj is not a place to debate whether trans women are real women.

This brings me back to my first startup job supporting a software that was used by several large corporations you’ll know.

Configuration and data entry was done by directly manipulating the prod database, with commands that were stored locally in text files, pre-written in the SQL Manager or created from Excel macros.

If you fucked up, you copied over the parts you had changed from the testing db, which doubled as the only backup.

If you started a transaction and forgot to commit or roll back, the application on the customer’s end would lock up.

The web frontend was based on hand-written html+css spaghetti code and Microsoft Silverlight.

Without any prior job experience or SQL knowledge, I got an account with domain admin rights and full write access to prod on my first day.

Only 2 people could work on the server at a time cause they didn’t want to pay for terminal server licenses.
