Apparently, this is how you enter swap.

I never thought out of all the cringiest platforms, linkedin would get popular among the tech community.

SD cards are the literal worst.

they've expanded to be the size of small hard drives, and devices like the rpi keep using them as boot media, but they:

- use garbage tier low endurance flash cells internally
- have little to no overprovisioning for wear
- perform only the most basic wear levelling
- have no protocol level integrity checking
- have few internal error correction features, if any
- decay comparatively quickly without patrol scrubs
- do not perform patrol scrubs
- cannot do PLP

Russia's tactics are terrorist tactics, by any legal or moral definition. I wrote this in July, 2022, but after the deliberate targeting of a shopping center and a book warehouse in Kharkiv, it needs to be repeated.

I think we can summarize the recent episode as: in the kernel we fix userpace regressions once reported, also we try not to introduce them in the first place, which can however sometimes fail. If you moan about it like a spoiled brat everywhere, we'll also fix them anyway but also judge you.

FWIW, in case you heard about "#Linux #kernel developers removed a deprecated #btrfs mount option #systemd relied on":

* Once the issue was properly reported to the #LinuxKernel developers earlier this week a patch to make things work again was proposed and accepted within a day or two: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit/?id=440861b1a03c72; that patch will likely be mainlined in the next 72 hours and then backported to affected series.

* the removal did not break the world, for a lot (most?) people things just worked fine

"On behalf of Google Open Source, I would like to thank you for your contribution to XMonad."

I thought this is only for serious people working on serious #opensource projects like Daniel but apparently someone thought my work on #XMonad deserves recognition too! 😍

Thank you!

What a week in AI!

- Microsoft releases its biggest invasion of your privacy in decades!
- Sam Altman violates Scarlett Johansson to get her likeness for his digital parrot!
- Google UX legend Scott Jenson declares idea bankruptcy at Google and panic driven AI development because they want to lock you in faster than their competitors!

This shit is going great!

I thought Microsoft already had a recall feature, in office386? I remember getting those emails from its users saying something like "$PERSON would like to recall their previous email"....

fucking wayland broke again

Now, everyone is so furious about OpenAI stealing a beloved celebrity's voice. But what about the many artists, writers/authors, and creators whose copyrighted works OpenAI stole to create works resembling and replacing those people's products? Not famous enough to generate the same outrage, right? At least now, everyone knows how bad Sam Altman is. He thinks he is above the law. I'm glad someone is standing up to this bully and I hope something good come out of it.

Old school Google searches. Removes a lot of the crap that Google returns as results. Worth doing.
