Needs to incorporate this truth in the next iteration:

“All modern communication would collapse if about 50 people, most of which are furries, decided to turn their pager off for a day”

This is demonstrably false. Correction:

most of whom are furries

All your internet traffic is likely going through at least one network administered by a furry. It seems like there's a much higher proportion of furries in network admin and cybersecurity jobs compared to IT/tech jobs in general.

This just made me realize that the first time I heard the term "furry" was from the network guy I used to work with 20 some years ago .

"Step 1: befriend furries to establish interim Intranet once modern communication infrastructure collapses."

I'm pretty sure there are some bronies in this group too. Or are they considered as a subset?

Hope my wording and question doesn't offend anyone.

I love that the shark can take down whole modern digital infrastructure, but it can't stop C developers from writing dynamic arrays.

Some species are just perfectly adapted to their niche...

C developers were already writing dynamic arrays before computer data was running through underseas cables.

I think it's Russian uninsured ships "accidentally" dragging anchors across major fibre optic links rather than sharks chewing them

The "g" in "doing" on the left side of the artwork is backwards.

Could be other artifacts that don't seem right

I think it's supposed to be DNS, just in a crappy handwriting. Which seems consistent with the other handwritten text

There's already DNS on the other side though

Sure, that's wacky. But everything else is fine, things look hand sketched, the non-connecting and slightly crooked lines are just the fact of a fast sketch, AI artifacts don't really look like this.
And above all I don't think AI would be able to parse the original meme and adapt it into the "End of Evangelion" meme template while still keeping the elements from the original (the shark biting the fiber cable and the "AI" handcrank for example) or without falling into that stupid synthetic "Anime/Ghibli" style.

Edit: I'm pretty sure that text says "DNS", since there where two "DNS" pegs on the original name, it's just that the lines of the letter "N" didn't properly connect and the letter "S" came out a little crooked.

Wow! I’m quite annoyed that it was fixed by restoring the previous package while the author had explicitly deleted it. That seems contrary to the laymen interpretation of code ownership

34

npm is a bunch of cucks. Folded to the lawyer threats immediately but ignored the authors wish to remove his work off platform, and made sure it's no longer possible?

I have to remember never to use them to share my code. God bless I'm not a node dev.

25

I love how the NPM CEO gave him the tool/command to remove all his work from the platform. What a dummy.

I also support the idea that he should be allowed to remove his work. It should have been republished according to the license. With a forked new name. IMO. But I know what a nightmare that would be.

And it always flips aws/cloudflare with the unpaid open source devs. In reality the former keeps failing while the latter doesnt.

Aws/Clousdfare are both large, pentagonal blocks that span through all the width.

That makes no sense. It’s a chart of what stuff is built on. Cloudflare isnt built on aws, and same for AWS though AWS does have services that use Cloudflare. They’re distinct and should not be stacked.

It looks like the AI screw jack is reverse threaded which wouldn't be obvious until you begin turning it... and that actually isn't a bad metaphor for today's AI.

32
lemmy.world

This implies removing the unpaid opensource developers balances out The AI in short term and idk how to feel ahout that.

Nah, the angle would be too aggressive - unless the boards have an extremely high friction coefficient, they would slide off to the right (along with anything on top of them).

"Whatever Microsoft is doing" hilarious!. Microsoft is such a total retarded company. Unfortunately Google turned evil too. Any for profit company can turn evil. I'm never going to place full trust in anything that is not 100% fully open source.

Any for profit company can will turn evil. Fixed this for you.

Thanks. I was going for that. I work for a small company and I still think a small for profit is also evil.

What's up with the Rust hate? If anything they should be the flat bar under AWS.

What's up with the Rust hate?

The Rust community keeps trying to rewrite key pieces of Linux that aren't broken.

They probably have the right idea, in the long run, but it's still fun to give them a hard time about it.

I think the real issue isn't the rewrites, it's the fact that Ubuntu started using the new Rust coreutils even though they weren't ready for production yet. uutils hasn't even reached version 1.0 yet, and still fails some compatibility tests.

It's an intermediate release, so the perfect time for Ubuntu to evaluate uutils for their next LTS

I've heard this argument before, and it makes no sense. You evaluate new core components internally as part of developing your distro, not in releases because "they're not LTS"

6

Canonicals non-LTS releases are basically shitty betas. No one sane uses them in production or on their desktop.

1

LTS is supposed to contain stable components though. They really should wait for a stable (1.0) release before committing to it.
