But like... I've seen dogs lie better than that

I can't wrap my head around this. I can't imagine this level of stupidity, i just don't understand

I mean, that's certainly true... But like, we told them the test answers. They let slip in an interview they just had to "clean up" the video, and reporters were like "what the fuck does that mean?". So then they said they'd also release the unedited video alongside the "cleaned up" one, and reporters would not let that go

I mean, I know they're dumb, but come on... I just can't fathom this level of incompetence. They literally started a coverup, made out this video to be proof to get everyone to calm down, and what? Realized the video actually looked sketchy and doctored it?

Plus the video itself is super sketch - a guard walks in with a bag, leaves it inside, a hooded figure comes in and leaves, and then he's found dead... What???

I thought Epstein was just coerced into killing himself, because of the video now I think he was straight up assassinated

My brain can't comprehend such a chain of unforced errors

Fuck it, I'm just calling her Taco Belle from now on

Why shouldn't they be allowed to be citizens? They already live here. They have jobs and pay taxes. They have lives here

Why is it they can't live here, or even be citizens? They're already here, the "right way" is a bureaucratic maze to justify the life you're already living.

At the very least, they should get resident status here if they've been here more than a year. Why not?

The reality is, they're part of our society already. The only reason to deny them status is to make them even more exploitable

I think the libertarian left quadrant is the only valid one, and it's become very obvious at this point

The global economy is this monster of debt and overly clever math that is actively collapsing, there's no fixing it, and even if we did somehow, each boom-bust is exponentially larger than the last one

And if you take the economy out of the equation, it's a really simple question. Do you want people to suffer or not? Are you pro-horrors beyond comprehension, or do you prefer less suffering?

So yep... We should all be calling them the billionaires at this point

I've honestly been convinced that doing evil melts your face like the dark side of the force

Take Caroline Levitt... She's so young, and yet in months her face has started to droop. On the other hand, you have people like Mike Johnson and JD Vance... They have the sith eyes, you just instinctively know they're inhuman

Well, the cars themselves weren't racist though

Progress!

If you got laid off for your ethics, it's probably a good thing in the long run

Would you rather have a rough time now, or slowly be hollowed out inside over the course of years before you get screwed over anyways?

Ethics don't help you, but lack of ethics catches up with you. For most people, they don't even benefit much before the other shoe drops

Self examination. Question and challenge your beliefs constantly. Dig into anything that makes you uncomfortable especially

If you're not growing, your views are not getting closer to the truth. There is no end point, only growth

What do you mean? Any AI can replace any knowledge worker. You just fire the worker and say AI will do it, easy

Look around... Running a corporation isn't about doing things or making things anymore, it's about the stock price. And consulting companies have convinced investors that layoffs are so hot and rich

If you haven't noticed, the quality of everything has been plummeting since COVID. They don't care about tomorrow problems, just extracting as much wealth as they can before it all comes crashing down

Don't forget, she also delayed FEMA rescuers for 3 days in the Texas flood, because she decided she has to personally sign any spending over $100k... And then she didn't. For 3 days

For the last week or so, I've been waking up several hours earlier than normal and not being able to get back to restful sleep. I've never had this problem before, I'm just getting more exhausted by the day because I'm not getting to sleep much earlier

Then I find out other people are experiencing the same thing, same timeframe - around a week ago it just started for seemingly no reason

Between wanting to do more with local LLMs, wsl annoyances, and the direction tech companies have been going lately, I think it's time I start exploring a full Linux migration

I'm a software dev, I'm comfortable in the command line, and I used to write the node configuration piece of something similar to chef (flavor/version agnostic setup of cloud environments)

So for me, Linux has always been a "modify the script and rebuild fresh" kind of deal... Even my dev VMs involved a lot of scripts and snapshots. I don't enjoy configuration and I really hate debugging it, but I can muddle through when I have to

Web searches have pushed me towards Ubuntu for LLM work, but I've never been a big fan of the window Managers. I like little flourishes like animation and lots of options I can set graphically, I use multiple desktop multiple monitors

I've tried the one it comes standard with, gnome, and kde (although it's been about 5 years since I've last given them a real shot).

I'm mostly looking for the most reasonable footprint that is "good enough", something that feels polished to at least the Windows XP level - subtle animations instead of instant popups, rounded borders, maybe a bit of transparency here and there.

I'm looking at Ubuntu w/

  • kde w/ plasma (I understand it's very configurable, I don't love the look and it seems to be a bigger footprint

  • budgie (looks nice, never heard of it before today)

  • kylin (looks very Windows 10 which is nice, a bit skeptical about the Chinese focus)

  • mate (I like the look, but it seems a bit dubiously centralized)

  • unity (looks like the standard Ubuntu taken to it's natural conclusion)

  • rhino Linux (something new which makes me skeptical, but pretty and seems more like existing tools packaged together which makes me think the issues might not impact actual workflow)

  • anything the community is big on for this, personally I'd pick opensuze, but I need to maximize compatibility with bleeding edge LLM projects

My hardware and hard requirements are:

  • nvidia 1060ti
  • ryzen 5500u
  • 16g ram
  • 4 drives nearly full, because it's a computer of Theseus running the same (upgraded) vista license that came with the case like 15 years ago
  • multi desktop, multi monitor
  • can handle a lot of browser Windows/tabs
  • ideally the setup is just a package mana ger install script with all my dependencies
  • gaming support would be nice, but I'll be dual booting for VR anyways

I've been out of the game for a while, I'd love to hear what the feeling is in the community these days

(Side note, is pine as cool a company as it seems?)
