Um, actually, I think you'll find it's genii.

Yay! Violet's back!

Of course it's Palantir. And Peter Thiel is worried about the antichrist. The calls are coming from inside the house, buddy.

Man, I hate the term 'sideloading'. It's just installing an app, for fuck's sake.

Looks like LINE to me.

It's refreshing to see an accurately worded headline in a case like this. Usually they go with "sex with a minor" instead of "rape", when the perpetrator is a woman.

Having said that, the sentence is way too damn lenient. She preyed on a minor. She should be punished way more than that.

I read about that, yeah. All hail Mammon; money above all. Sometimes I think wealth changes something in a person's brain, like psychologically or neurologically. It's as if they get so detached from reality that they lose all empathy and sense of community. I've heard the term 'affluenza' used as a joke, but the more I think about it, the more it makes sense as a legitimate thing.

I mean, for gen alpha, that's an intentional effect. Tech is becoming more and more obfuscated by design.

So I live in South Korea. The medical system here is heavily subsidized and socialized. This makes it very cheap and (mostly) accessible, but the downside is the bureaucracy that comes with that. It is also a very litigious culture, which makes it worse. Doctors here are extremely wary to prescribe anything too strong, and they communicate very little with the patients. It's just, "Trust me, I'm a doctor." And of course the neo-confucian mindset is also very strong here, with all the rigid hierarchy that comes with it.

Yup. He stole a bunch of ideas and code, then got upset that people were stealing his ideas and code. Do as I say, not as I do.

I am irreplacable. I'd like to see AI drink 12 beers and disappoint my girlfriend sexually.

The Neverending Story II

As a general rule of thumb, I usually recommend Linux Mint to beginners. The installation and update processes are easy and intuitive, and there is a ton of software available, as well as good support if you know how to do web searches properly. The main trick is to try and remember that a paradigm shift needs to happen here. Linux is not Windows. It doesn't work like Windows, and it has different aims and priorities. She will also need to be prepared to learn a bit and be slightly more hands-on with her computing. The learning curve with Mint is comparatively gentle, but it does exist.

This is all very broad and general, but I hope it helps. Good luck to the both of you. I hope you are satisfied with whatever you decide on.

Exactly. That second example infuriates me. Just give me something to troubleshoot, for fuck's sake.

Somehow, this is generally considered to be a radical position.

I've noticed that on Lemmy, in a few comments. What is it about? Some kind of spelling reform?

I have no idea if this is the right modality with which to get through to you, but it worked for me: look up schema therapy. My tests flagged with the defectiveness/shame schema, which is exactly what this post is describing - the belief that you are fundamentally broken and unfixable, and you should feel ashamed of that. If that resonates, just do an internet search. You are not alone in this, and it can get better. I won't say that it will get better, because that part is up to you. But it can.

It might be an ownership or access issue. Try explicitly enabling read/write access to the drive with chmod.

Yeah, I read that he was a nepo baby. Also, people say "But he dropped out of university to start Microsoft."

He dropped out of fucking Harvard. His life was easy as piss from the get-go.

So I have lived in South Korea for 6 years now. The fact that this fire has had such a major impact is quite typical of Korean bureaucracy and tech administration. Very few backups, infrastructure held together with scotch tape and bubblegum, overworked devs and maintainers. It's a bit sad, especially for a country that exports so many tech products.
