What do you put on potatoes? Ketchup. What color is ketchup? Red. What color are commies?

I rest my case.

According to the screenshot, it doesn't even call her a trans woman, it calls her a man. Presumably because man and woman are the only options on her little TERF world.

Hilarious to me that it OCRs the text. The text is generated by the computer. It's almost like when Lt. Cmdr. Data wants to get information from the computer database, so he tells the computer to display it and just keeps increasing the speed


there are way more efficient means of getting information from A to B than displaying it, imaging it, and running it though image processing!

I totally get that this is what makes sense, and it's independent of the method/library used for generating text, but still...the computer "knows" what it's displaying (except for images of text), and yet it has to screenshot and read it back.

I think an email address is required to access their respective app stores, but is it actually required for creating an account?

KDE is minimalistic?! Granted it's been a very long time since using it, but I'd say Fluxbox or i3wm are minimalistic, KDE...not so much.

Not hating on it at all, just musing.

I like the sentiment, but there are non-peer reviewed papers that are real science. Politics and funding are real things, and there is a bit of gatekeeping here, which isn't really good IMHO.

Also, reproducibility is a sticky subject, especially with immoral experiments (which can still be the product of science, however unsavory), or experiments for which there are only one apparatus in the world (e.g., some particle physics).

My 2¢ is that running Linux, you play the role of user and of sysadmin. On some distros you only put on the sysadmin hat once in a blue moon, but on others you're constantly wearing it.

My Arch experience is a few years out of date; I felt I played sysadmin more than, say, Debian Stable, but it wasn't too onerous. I also had an older Nvidia card, so there were some...fun issues now and then.

I use Debian on my machines now, and am happy. Try some different distributions! Even better, have /home on its own partition (better yet, own disk)


changing distros can be nice and easy without worrying about your personal data.

No, it was the client


not Google


who had a backup with another provider.

You may want to check local regulations


if there's a legal requirement to delete the data, I'd try to take advantage of that.

On a related note, I cannot recommend Immich enough! I had previously used other self hosted solutions but Immich is just fantastic


great desktop and mobile, awesome locally run ML, great shared link support, an overall awesome experience. (I'm not affiliated at all. Bit of a "gateway drug" to self hosting...)

I kinda prefer xargs to the -exec option


just feels more UNIXy to me (do one one job well).

But as another comment said, for grep I just use -r and --include. So clearly I'm not very consistent...
