A dumpster fire with an orange clown as president and firestarter in chief, burning all the good will the international allies had towards it. Deeply sad and worrisome, just when we needed them the most given the Russia/China threat.

I don’t trust myself that much.

The 1350’s specifically.

I’m saving this thread to make a watch list, but I’ll add a comedy I haven’t seen mentioned: The Blues Brothers

Triangle is great, just watch it without googling it.

That’s a weird attitude. You know the jokes are about the racists and you still feel you are somehow doing something bad by enjoying it?

I worked in a company where this was used for implementing tamper evident logs, that allowed auditors to check for tampering.

I kept comparing it with the absolute masterpiece that is Half-Life and it felt boring.

The story doesn’t pull you, no characters are memorable, in some areas I felt like I was cleaning the exact same room over and over.

Qwen 2.5, running on my laptop, had this to say:

Gemma 2.5 on ollama is all my lowly laptop can run.

It’s good enough for what I want - summarize, translate, generate bullshit.

Duff beer.

I’ll let you in on a secret: you can act and be perceived as a fully functional man while being a child inside. I could give you some examples but I’m sure you can think of some.

But it is also very important to not remove that from yourself or you’ll turn into a boring old man.

No.

Enjoy the ride.

I agree, but I’ll watch Edge of Tomorrow or Oblivion if they’re on.

850 hours on Skyrim and counting.

I seem to have it under control now.

To me it was somewhere in the late 90’s, but I’m sure people will still be debating this when I die.

The year of Linux Desktop is here!
