What really resonated with me was your repeated calls for us at least to be arguing about the same thing, to get on the same page. Everything about LLMs and generative AI is getting so mushed up by people pulling it in several directions at

Imagine being able to shut off all Ubiquiti console access in the world instantly, by posting about a grave security issue (real or not) and having a few compatriots to do the same in a short amount of time. You could trivially block a busi

Did Ubuntu choose WirePlumber or `pipewire-media-session`? Arch tried to switch off from `pipewire-media-session`, because it's merely a proof of concept whose development is dead, but found that WirePlumber simply isn't ready yet

Depends on how you define headless, but the fact is, I'm rarely logged into it, and there's no mouse nor keyboard connected, nor any X server running.

Also tried, also useless. The program producing the sound is being run by another user.

It's fine when it works. It's a monstrosity when it doesn't. I spent an hour the other day trying to figure out how to tell it not to output audio through my DualSense controller haptics (which look like a four-channel audio

There are plenty of other systems to do this with. Gist's value proposition seems orthogonal to its Git integration—more to do with its UX.

He made people uncomfortable. He was asked to stop. He was reported. He kept doing it. So it's not a "slightly odd sense of humor." It's not humor if no one laughs. If someone tells me something makes them uncomfortable,

Yeah, I tried to be clear that "I’m not going to explain monads."
