“That son of a bitch said he was wearing a catdom. Now I’m starting to think that’s not a real thing!”

How about just using Debian and not WSL?

I used LXDE for a while on old crappy machines when I first started using Linux so just used to it I guess

Gnome on one machine, LXDE on another.

I use Gnome on my main laptop, a Thinkpad P50. I bought it with a dock thinking I’d use it at my desk and on the sofa but it’s a bit of a beast so that stays on my desk and I use an L440 with LXDE on the sofa. Considering trying LCARS on the sofa machine.

Same. Gnome currently but will certainly be trying Cosmic

Round trip that can make changes? Probably a few hundred or even thousand years ago, so I could give them modern technology, information about climate change, try to educate people on social issues, etc

What tech would you take back if you could though?

I had a nightmare that a video of me accidentally bumping into a woman and knocking her out of her wheelchair went viral, turning me into a social pariah. I lost my job, my family abandoned me and I got hounded by people everywhere I went. It was one of the few times I remembered a dream very vividly and was genuinely releived when I woke up and realised it wasn’t real. Don’t know where the hell that came from.

COL?

Not from a bar but I got drunk as a teenager and brought a pair of skis I found back to my Mum’s house. My old room was used as a store room when I moved out and they were in there for like 15 years. I helped clear it out, asked where the hell these skis came from and was reminded of the drunken find I’d totally forgotten.

But those children will have their education and esrly healthcare paid for by the people they eventually pay for the retirement and healthcare of

Maybe. But I have a feeling it’ll be a dumb single mistake that’ll make someone say “ah, shit” just before we’re wiped out.

When the Soviets trained anti-tank dogs in WW2 they did so on tanks that weren’t running to save fuel: “Their deployment revealed some serious problems… In the field, the dogs refused to dive under moving tanks.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-tank_dog

History is littered with these kinds of mistakes. It would only take one military AI with access to autonomous weapons to have a similar issue in it’s training data to potentially kill us all.

Possible or not I don’t think we’ll get to the point of AGI. I’m pretty sure at some point someone will do something monumentally stupid with AI that will wipe out humanity.

My aunt has a ragdoll. She constantly brings her comb to people and stands with her chin raised and eyes closed, ready for them to comb her. Gets very annoyed if they don’t.

Power. Done, saved you a read.

Satoshi, noooooooooooo!

If I had access to the human ones I’d have those for breakfast but until then I’m just going to be eating bird period on toast every morning :(

Yea Jello Biafra is a highly underrated musician. He’s done a lot of other varied collabs over the years.

This one from the album he made with Mojo Nixon is also amazing. Maybe use headphones if you’re out in public, especially in the USA https://youtu.be/7T7EUSQGxXY

Lard - The Power of Lard

Jello Biafra from the Dead Kennedys and the members of Ministry, two of my favourite bands, collaborated and made some truly amazing heavy music.

Dan Britt - I’m Dead Inside

Recently came across this tune and can’t get enough of it.

TV on the radio - Ambulance

Ditto this one.

Portishead - Wandering Star

Finally, you can’t go wrong with this classic from my youth.
