I like turtles.

I know I’ve seen this before. This appears to be an AI generated version of a very similar image posted in January of 2023 on Reddit, Facebook, and probably others. I used a combination of Google image search and tineye.com to figure this out. This apparently AI version makes the woman skinnier, removes her sleeves, declutters the background, and adds a black clutch. The history of this meme was tricky to search for because it has blown up in popularity recently (on Instagram, Xitter, Reddit, even YouTube) and Reddit’s history is full of deleted posts.

Unless they are trying to sell you beans (or Dean’s), it’s not spam.

Good question. Also, given the way AI tools are creeping into everything, can we really declare that any modern Photoshop are truly free of AI?

Is the joke that Stranger Things is nothing like Twin Peaks at all?

I wish I could stay asleep for 8 consecutive hours, or even go back to sleep after waking up at hour 6 without feeling like shit the rest of the day. Some of my most restorative sleeping has been 4 hours or a 30 minute nap. Sleeping more than 30 minutes and less than 4? Straight to sleepy jail. More than 4 hours, but a little less than six? Sleepy jail. More than 8 hours? Probably dead, definitely at least sleepy jail where nothing productive happens.

That’s not what the articles says or implies at all. The article only refers to another article with a click bait headline. The article article summarizes Canonical stance like this:

• Canonical will add AI to Ubuntu — but only cautiously and when it truly makes sense.
• AI features must be mature, open-source, and run locally when possible.
• Focus AI on accessibility (speech-to-text, TTS) and improvements, not turning Ubuntu into an ‘AI product’.

And to be clear, including a tool or default workflow is MILES away from patronizingly forcing it on to users. It’s just the way that most distros that aren’t Linux From Scratch work.

The idea is to have the server safely shutdown BEFORE it loses power, so that BIOS setting wouldn’t mean anything. The server does not loose power while it it running, so it will never “restore last state after AC loss”. The idea is that you can run a low power device (the raspberry pi) for which you don’t care if power is cut abruptly and that can talk to both the UPS and the wake-on-lan of the server directly over ethernet. It being local means those WOL are much more likely to work than trying to send them from outside your network when you’re remote. It’s a lot simpler to set this up once than it is to recover a server with a corrupted file system due to power loss or lose access to your server for weeks because a thunderstorm knocked out power for 30min at the beginning of a long trip. That pi can also take care of other always on services like a pi-hole, home assistant, etc.

According to the article it was royalty free and published open standards, but they do not make any claim to this being an FOSS system.

If I thought it was an intentional joke, it wouldn’t have been ironic.

I feel like I might be able to reason with a spider (however remote that possibility might be). At least predators have at least a little ability to reason. Maybe, just maybe, they’ll decide that I’m more trouble than I’m worth. Spiders also seem unlikely to team up. You’re maybe dealing with a couple competing to win Spider-Man’s favor, but I’d not expect them to cooperate.

On the other hand, dealing with ants would be like fighting a fast unreasoning zombie horde, a literal flood of nashing venomous mandibles and with a singular, laser focused, drive to do violence. All they know is violence to achieve their queen’s (Antman’s) goal at any cost to any particular individual. That is MUCH scarier to me.

People are getting much more dumber, though, so if you starts using it more people might will does it too.

The irony of the sentiment of this comment against the flickering light of the dumpster fire that is its grammar is not lost on me.

Top 10 most dangerous jobs in the U.S. according to Forbes:

1. Logging Workers
2. Fishing and Hunting Workers
3. Roofers
4. Aircraft Pilots and Flight Engineers
5. Structural Iron and Steel Workers
6. Delivery and Truck Drivers
7. Refuse and Recyclable Material Collectors
8. Underground Mining Machine Operators
9. Construction Trade Workers
10. Electrical Power-line Installers and Repairers

I’m know I’m preaching to the choir here, but it’s good info to be familiar with when some knuckle dragging MAGA hat pretends to be patriotic.

Notice that law enforcement overseers and military are not on this list. Moreover, LEOs often get paid MUCH better than many of the people employed at some of the jobs listed above. It’s also a pretty safe bet these days that if an American police officer is in a dangerous situation, they are the danger. I’m all for respecting people that choose dangerous careers, but police and veterans are not heros for making that choice any more than any of the others on this list.

OSHA has a similar list, no police either.

USA Today has a top 25 list, still no police.

Could they not think of an original name? Calling it YouTube-dl is just unnecessarily lazy and confusing. This appears to be mostly a docker image of yt-dlp, which is itself a fork of youtube-dl.

Rhymes with anise. ;)

These are also pretty good at shielding you from biting insects and fascist police state spy cameras.

It’s got the juice!
