Lister: "Rimmer, death isn't the handicap it used to be in the olden days. It doesn't screw your career up like it used to."

Rimmer: "That's what they say, Lister, but if you had two people coming for a job and one of them was dead, which one would you pick?"

Lister "It depends which is better qualified."

Rimmer "Bullpats. When was the last time you saw a dead newsreader?"

Lister "Channel 27 had a hologram reading the news."

Rimmer "Oh. Groovy, funky Channel 27. Big smegging deal. You livies hate us deadies."

With the different distros of Linux, do different things support different distros? Like Zoom is support on Arch but not Mint, and Steam is supported in Mint but not Arch; or if an app supports Linux, it is on all distros? And if there is differences, do you have different partitions for different types of Linux?

If anyone can survive the AI text apocalypse, it is wikipedia. They have been fending off and regulating article writing bots since someone coded up a US town article writer from the 2000 census (not the 2010 or 2020 census, the 2000 census. This bot was writing wikipedia articles in 2003)

In a statical job applying world, if everyone had a ln equal chance of landing a job (which isn't the case, but it makes the math easier), you would, on average, have to apply to as many positions as the average number of applicants that apply to the positions your are applying to.

So if each TRUE job opening has 10 people apply to it, you have to apply to 10 jobs (plus a bunch of false postings) to get a job.

If each true job opening has 10,000 people apply to it, you have to apply to 10,000.

I hate it when I go to full screen and one of my (100s of) tabs has a youtube short that thinks "Oh, time to start playing again!"

Now I'll have paused tabs start making noise and I won't be able to find it until the ad is over.

Is this the program that open source people use to install all the random depencies that their program needs to work? The one that people tell me to use when I complain about git bash pico sudo pytorch Install commands?

Or did another company copy their name?

Also: Algorithmic generated feeds where you try to click on one thing, but you click on the next thing in the list and when you click back, the feed looks completely different because it has new information on you. That thing you wanted to click on is gone and will never return.

I finally understand Trump supporters "Fuck it, burn it all to the ground cause we can't win" POV. Only instead of democracy, it is copyright and instead of Trump, it is AI.

That fact that it could be a simulation hints at the fact that there is an underlying set of rules that could be used to generate that simulation. Those underlying set of rules could also be considered the most fundamental laws that govern the universe.

I didn't skip it. If you are going to use a tool, use it right. "Study shows using the larger plastic end of screwdriver makes it harder to turn screws than just using fingers to twist them. Researchers caution against using screwdriver to turn screws."
