You mean you found the AI slop with google, not much help.

I guess they must have had better internet in the French Revolution than we have here now! Everyone hates Comcast and now you know why ;).

No link?

Only living people can win the prize. If they die between the announcement and the ceremony they still get it posthumously. I’m pretty sure that has happened now and then.

A lot are trekkers rather than climbers if that helps. Their environmental footprint is much smaller.

Costco has been ok for me.

Meh. I’m holding out for wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Before that it was HDD’s everywhere, and people still ran systems with very high throughput. They had much less ram then than now too.

WTF. What could possibly go wrong. Flip phone here I come.

Sounds like it would be nice if Savannah offered Forgejo hosting.

Ok I used to feel sorry for non-libre streaming software users, but this is now in “one born every minute” territory. Thanks.

What the heck is this thing? Should many of us care?

Oh I see. Yeah DVD drives generally use the same SATA interface as hard drives.

If you mean a 2.5" drive (laptop sized) then yes you can generally do that. 3.5" drives are usually 1" thick and won’t fit in a slim DVD drive slot.

Article doesn’t say what kind of food. Bah.

Yeah I’m interested in the topic but am not up for watching an almost 2 hour documentary.

It’s a substack (ugh), but you can click “no thanks” under the email field and it takes you to the article, which is by Ryan Grim. The article is somewhat hard to understand though, as it jumps between a few different topics.
