I see saying-gif-wrong people have infiltrated the new Dune movies. We, original Lynch movie snobs, will be in this corner pronouncing "bene gesserit" the only true way it was supposed to be pronounced.

@Reiddragon @devious These days, I assume it's feeding some LLM.

If lore.kernel.org was slow for you this morning, this is because the fscking tiktok bot crawler hit it 1,813,470 times over 10 hours.

Journos reporting Russian "election" results: I have a large bridge for sale. And if there's any doubt that I actually own it, you can talk to my department of truth officer, staffed by this lovely sock puppet.

My 13-year-old is writing Tetris using an assembly language they invented in Scratch (because x86 assembly is "too much"). I may need to get them a risc-v board soon.

@SiteRelEnby not trying to be the reply guy, but I think that's "git remote update [remote name]".

Linus Torvalds

A better headline: "Democrats seek ways to cut off Putin's Johnson."

@dartov Regulation in Canada/EU may be the driving force behind the change back to more ergonomic controls -- at least one can hope. I'm 99.9% sure my next car won't be a Tesla (better options exist today that didn't in 2020 when we got ours, plus these days new Teslas come with that Musky smell that you can't get rid of).

"To shift into drive, reverse, or park, Tesla owners will need to use their car's touchscreen.β
Look, touchscreens in vehicles are horrible:
1. It's really hard to hit the right area on the screen when the vehicle is moving, because you have nowhere to rest your hand to steady it.
2. I don't want to take off my gloves to turn anything off or on. No, "use special tactile gloves" is not a solution, because they are expensive, you can't be very precise while wearing them, and they gradually lose that magic touch over time as you wear them and get them grimy.
3. No, "use voice commands" is not a great alternative. Try yelling "turn off defrosters" loud enough to be heard over the noise of those defrosters.
4. I shouldn't need to wear my reading glasses to operate a vehicle. Progressive lenses are not an option for many due to cost and bifocals remove a large chunk of the vision field that you need for actual driving.
So, please let's all collectively move past the point where touchscreens are used for anything other than infotainment and GPS.
