Unless you’re moving across partitions it will change the filesystem metadata to move the path, but not actually do anything to the data. Sorry, you failed, it’s jail for you.

Right. Where’s the punishment for Meta who admitted to pirating books?

Last time this was posted, the some answers said it’s actually likely a nest (funnel web spider or something?) and the “dead spider” shed skin.

So the metaphor for capitalism is… The Rich carry on eating the produce of the Poor, while the socialists look on and think the system is dying? Haha! Checkmate Poors!

That’s very cool, but does anyone else think the title image is AI generated? Neither image nor caption seem to sit right, nor fit together.

Is the ‘caption’ actually (derived from) a prompt?

Lol

It’s tricky. Part of the problem, I think, is if you do have corruption and carelessness in something like the FDA, there’s no amount of careful reporting that can fix it - it becomes propaganda.

It’s necessary to address the problems, though I still agree with being careful about what information is broadcast and how - but it’s necessary to keep information open and challenge things otherwise you end up worse down the line. A measles epidemic is bad. But imagine if you suppressed thalidomide results and other failures, allowing things to get worse and worse in the name of not damaging people’s trust, then eventually (after years of covered-up harm) it all comes out and people abandon scientific medicine altogether!

You don’t have to imagine… I’m sure a large component of both vaccine skepticism and Trump’s presidency have come because of suppressed and partially-suppressed wrongdoing by all the people we think the country should trust. Eventually people break and look for something else.

So, I agree with you, but in my opinion we do need to work more, not less, at transparency and truth even when it’s problematic.

No, you can often see what’s going on and adjust your speed a little to let merging work well, without causing risk to other traffic.

Well, I can at least.

You can also move in one lane if it’s empty to let merging cars enter the outside lane easily.

700 professionals in India probably make more coherent software than AI.

You make a fair point. Perhaps it’s just the cultures I’ve lived in, though, but my impression is that the vast majority of people value some amount of what might be considered small talk. So for those of us who don’t take to it naturally (and I am also one who’s had to learn small talk… I’m okay at it in many situations now but not all) it’s probably worth having a feel for it for the sake of friendly relationships with many people around us.

Ah, sorry to hear that. It’s a tough barrier to break, when a partnership is like that. I wish you the best in the future.

Hi honey, how’s the weath–

Linux is one option for the core, central part of how a computer works, called a ‘kernel’. All programs talk to Linux, which talks to the physical computer.

Windows has its own version of that kernel, Mac has another.

Linux is special because it’s free for people to use, change, and check what it’s doing.

There’s a lot of programs built to work with Linux: together they are what you use to use your computer. Like, Windows is actually lots of smaller programs working together, and Mac OS is lots of smaller programs working together. Most people say ‘Linux’ meaning all these programs running together, with Linux at the core.

In other words, Linux is a system that runs on your computer, so you can run the programs you want (like Emacs, or Inkscape) on top of that.

Am I indeed? But at least, if I can observe a difference between hands off the steering wheel and hands on, with the car swerving accordingly, then something seems to be going on. Perhaps the adult is moving the toddlers hands too; or perhaps the toddler truly has agency.

Understandable. And relatable.

Too bad. I chose for free will to exist, and I’m happy with my decision.

Too bad you don’t have the free will to change that ;-)

Because they’re wonderful! And because you love someone.

Yeah, they can also go horribly wrong. I think that’s true of just about everything good - the more good it is, the worse it hurts when it goes wrong. But get it right, and it’s amazing.

When you see its little planty soul waft up to heaven.

“How do you feel about being to blame for your problems and relationship difficulties?”

“Um… >:-(”

“See, you never like it when I ask about your feelings!”
