For every change there is an angry Linux user. Even when it is easily disabled and never a problem again.

On the flip side - how often do you install new programs so this becomes an annoyance in the first place?

I install something new maybe once a month or less for desktop use. I have not even noticed this blip.

Somewhat more often in and for terminal use.

The clearing where we bury the unbelievers and let the forest thrive on the nutrients released from their rotting carcasses.

Well, that's what we do here at least.

What to do when they keep barking at the neighbours?

I'm thinking it's like ads. Some people see them, read them, click the links. Others recognize by glance and filter them out without bothering to process.

Social media, and internet in general, has always been a wild mix of top notch content and bottom of the barrel garbage sharing screen estate.

Hey OP, you were released today with performance gains!

Ha, gotchem. The drive by compliment strikes again.

The time when people were doing strange and funny websites by cut and paste design on Geocities and Angelfire, new music was found on MySpace, vinyl rips of rare obscurities were posted on blogs you follow in Reader and expanding your music catalogue was amazing on SoulSeek.

I'm quite happy that movie distribution have evolved beyond blocky 1-2CD DivX;-) though.

I trim my adult dogs nails when I hear them clatter. Sometimes twice in a month, sometimes not because he wears them down pretty well all by himself.

I think LLMs and generative AIs are a really interesting technology with many potential applications in the future and even today.

But it is ridiculous how tech bros and marketing are pushing and overselling the capabilities of a technology that is yet in its early childhood. Infancy is already past as it knows basic motor functions.

And it is m funny when these companies publish their ambitious attempts and hilarious failures like this article right here. It reminds me of a more funny and diverse and geeky internet when nerds got money from investors to do whatever with a domain name. Maybe it is still there, behind the wall of marketing execs.

I believe they can be read by anything that can read rfid and can access the online database for information for that serial number.

Here in Sweden too but my biological chip reading abilities are somewhat lacking.

"Eehh, du?" in Swedish. I've done it, I've been it.

 

I know all my dogs friends names but less than half of their owners names and now it is too late to ask.

 

May his tomorrow be without... No, wait!

 

I bet Buddhist monks living in celibacy need some relief too

 

Remembered this singalong from that other recent post about light of the world.

 
 
 

Now I'm hangry and I want a pizza.

Fuck that guy.

 

So apparently Zalando is problematic, see https://lemmy.ml/post/29285005.

I liked it because they have plenty of brands and despite they made it more difficult some years ago, it was still possible to filter somewhat by environmental and ethical gradings.

Alternatives?

 
 

When despite the isolation and difficulties and people being terribly ill and dying, there was this feeling of something good might come out of this great reset of society?

That feels very distant now.
