“Speed of thought”… hmmm… We can call it “Impulse Driven Development” I’m sure it’ll be great.

I wanted write super reliable software after finishing school, so I thought I would get my Professional Engineer license (American). Passed my FE exam (thermo was fun), found a PE to work under, but then Software engineering was removed from the licenses list. 🫠 Now I work in safety-certified software, but I’ll probably never get to write that “P.E.” behind my name.

Our ability to rapidly ingest the opinions and experiences of others through language, media, demonstrations, etc. has given us as a species, an incredible advantage, along with some risks you noted.

For an example species following the “learn it for yourself” approach, see the very intelligent but very limited octopus.

Everlast - What it’s like No particularly graceful person in the song, except maybe the singer himself, but encourages grace and perspective from the listener.

Fair enough, but one person’s “basic” may be another person’s fancy tool/workflow. As far as I know most popular distros either come with a browser or install it from a GUI-based “software store” with pretty minimal effort, and then it “just works” to get on the internet. However, did your distro detect your machine’s Wi-Fi card correctly? Maybe… so I concede your point.

Stop all the cherry picking, this isn’t Reddit. Engage the argument in good faith.

Linux IS easier to install and use than ever before. If you stay within the FOSS ecosystem, the DE does usually work fine for what it’s made for.

But people are complaining they can’t flawlessly run Windows games in Linux. Come on. Most computer users aren’t even gamers.

Oh no! You’ll arrive 5 minutes later while reducing pedestrian fatalties! How will Murica survive?

Click bait worked on me.

Holy Shit. And not for a profit. If it were like a single lifetime-effective shot, this would be impossibly good. Still, very cool of this pharma co.

“…identifying with our sinful emotions and desires” Don’t they also say that’s why he was fucking sent to Earth in the first place?

And the US evangelical team has won the gold in mental gymnastics once again.

Compromises on principles, not compromises with people.

This is kinda sad, since I am genuinely worried that we’re relying on AI tools to assist with comprehending what I thought was pretty straightforward allegory.

I phrased it the way I did in case it was actually ME that was getting trolled. Hopefully that’s all it is, and I’m just underestimating the depth of trolling here.

Someone also posted an AI-generated summary for audience members whose reading comprehension skills have already atrophied.

Good luck, humanity.

“… I had to use AI to figure out what this is supposed to mean.” I can only hope you really mean “I CHOSE to IRONICALLY use AI to figure out what this is supposed to mean.”

the whole (he/him) in my email signature was a wild ride… like do I add it even though I’m CIS/hetero/boring? I see all the middle aged white women in my office doing it, and that means it’s a few weeks from HR making a vague rule about it… I’m not conservative, but I don’t want to be some fake virtue signaler, since I don’t really know any trans people… but I don’t want to give some kind of passive approval of intolerance by NOT adding it… will HR flag me if I do add it? or if I don’t?

I can only hope that was an autocorrect, otherwise you’d better retake that training. Or maybe full-contact corrupting is a thing now…

lol did you just “I know you are but what am I”? Why not address the accusation? How is “I don’t see color” different than “I don’t see gender”?

I bet you don’t see color, either…

We’re speaking German after French aristocrats gave us the names for all the fancy things we couldn’t afford when we were all peasants.
