The internet has allowed for more artists to get exposure for sure, but it's still down to luck / prettiness / virality etc. In terms of slop (not necessarily AI) there's shit like this https://www.musicbusine

Great find and always excited to see performance improvements from discoveries in older code! On the other side, I'm always sad / unsettled to see the comments on Phoronix articles like this, the tribalism, the accusations, etc.

Of specific note I found this quote very alarming > There was no single cause of death driving this lethal wedge: The death rate due to all 10 of the most common causes of death has widened between Republican and Democratic areas.

Just to clarify here, the Mozilla VPN is $4.99/mo, whereas Mullvad (the partner it currently uses) is €5(~$5.91)/mo. There is no markup, it's actually about 15% cheaper.

Anecdotally, my name and an old (albeit valid) address was used in two comments supporting repeal that I did not submit. That is to say, comments that the Emprata analysis would view as "valid" but most definitely were not.

Keychain is a frontend (of sorts) for ssh-agent and ssh-add that helps you keep a single instance of ssh-agent running across login sessions. Pretty rad: http://www.funtoo.org/wiki/Keychain

This isn't entirely true, Arch still has custom patches for certain packages and some undergo a decent bit of customization before getting pushed out. The biggest difference with Ubuntu (and Debian) is that they vet the packages for a much
