- Comment on Shower thought: Valve could do the ultimate boss-move this year 1 day ago:
Fedora bluefin is a much bigger project and a much larger paradigm shift in how Linux distros can be understood than what you make out to be. Tweaking system files might be a good choice for users who need to go beyond what comes with the standard, but it’s not something a wide majority of users will or should need.

I’ve seen it on my personal big screen and I doubt the experience would have been better in a theater.

Oh cool! Seeing meta about my own memes is a new emotion.

Not every director is also a great writer and editor. There’s a reason making movies is a team effort.

Wait, Predator movies are teen/YA fantasy now? Didn’t see that one coming.

I was a big fan back in the day, but this trailer does nothing for me.

The Trump administration had made it abundantly clear that foreigners have no rights in the US anymore, and increasingly American citizens don’t either. Enter at your own risk.

GitS was the seminal manga of my formative years. We had many good and some not so great adoptions over the years, but I am pretty excited for this version. It looks quite close to the manga which is, imho, the best rendition of the concept.

This is hands down the best scene of the whole series. I come back to it every so often.

It looked better than expected, I’m still cautious, though.

Of course, didn’t think of that.

Consider the type of person that thrives in a fascist society. If you are not that type of person, you will wither. There is no middle ground.
Do you believe the US can still be pulled back from the brink? Stay and fight for it. If you don’t, leave while it’s still easy.

There are German (of course) Youtube channels that do deep analysis of Tesla build quality. They have improved to “mostly passable” but still quite cheap wherever possible.

- Comment on Google is replacing Google Assistant with Gemini | TechCrunch 1 month ago:
Every couple of years I try out the latest “assistant”. I ask very simple queries, stzff that you might expect it to be able to handle. It always disappoints hilariously.
Questions where previous assistants consistently and utterly failed: “What’s the weather going to be like today?” “I want to go to [address], using public transport, can you tell me which routes I have to take?” “What are my appointments today?”
You’d think these are pretty obvious use-cases, but every iteration of assistants was completely incapable of getting even closer to a satisfying answer. I don’t expect LLMs to fare better this time around.
- Comment on Opinion | It Isn’t Just Trump. America’s Whole Reputation Is Shot. 1 month ago:
This is a well written piece full of astute observations. I have a problem with one point, though:
The new civilizational struggle is between hard and soft*.* Don’t overthink this. Trump is not playing four-dimensional chess and trying to pry Russia from its alliance with China. American foreign policy is now oriented to whatever gets Trump’s hormones surging. He has a lifelong thing for manly virility. In the MAGA mind, Vladimir Putin codes as hard; Western Europe codes as soft. Elon Musk codes as hard; U.S.A.I.D. codes as soft. WWE is hard; universities are soft. Struggles for dominance are hard; alliances are soft.
It’s not the difference between “hard” and “soft” that matters here, it’s the difference between “simple” and “complex”. Trump, in every conceivable way, is a simple man, and his followers find that one of his most attractive traits. He, like them, neither understands nor accepts complexity and that informs his world-view and actions.
