- Comment on How screwed would one be if their email provider shuts down? 5 days ago:
Wouldn’t be too bad. I use Keepass for my bookmarks and most of my accounts with the database synced by Syncthing. If Syncthing and all of my devices also went down it’d be a pain but I’d have a fairly recent copy of the database which I backup to a pen drive I always keep with me. I’d have to spend a day logging into my accounts and updating the email but then I’d probably go back to just using Keepass from my pen drive and backing up to a second one like I used to until I found another solution for syncing it.

I’ve been considering switching to Arch for my desktop. Is it worth it? Did you use anything else on desktop before switching?
- Comment on What your coffee preparation method says about you 1 week ago:
Can confirm. I’m a Debian user and use a Cuisinart grind and brew I’ve had for ages. It’s actually the second of two of the same model after the first broke following years of loyal service.

In Wales road signs are printed in both English and Welsh.
When a new sign was being made someone sent the English part to a translator, who’s out of office message was in Welsh.
They assumed that message was the translation and printed it on the sign.

- Comment on Don’t believe the hype: AGI is far from inevitable 1 month ago:
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.
- Comment on Don’t believe the hype: AGI is far from inevitable 1 month ago:
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.

Wow, imagine ordering a pizza to what used to be a Pizza Hut
- Comment on Br*t*sh 1 month ago:
There’s a practical reason for this. In a lot of UK homes, mostly those built from the 1940s to 1960s, cold water comes directly from the mains supply and hot water comes from a local storage cistern, often situated in the attic. They’re kept separate to avoid cold “drinking” water being contaminated by hot “washing” water which isn’t fresh. My older home doesn’t use this system and I have mixer taps in both my kitchen and bathroom.

Yea, get the shit bombed out of you. Then you’ll lose everything and your government will have no option but to finally get off their arse and publically fund healthcare to avoid their remaining workforce dying out.

I just keep imagining it looking up and reading the comment, saying “Well, I never…” and putting on a top hat before scuttling off backwards.
- Comment on Jacob Rees-Mogg’s attacks on working from home were ‘bizarre’, says Labour 2 months ago:
The business secretary has defended Labour’s plans to introduce new flexible working laws, calling it “bizarre” that Jacob Rees-Mogg had launched a “war on people working from home”.
Simple, Mogg had his tongue in the rectum of big business.
