Now, the drone-captured data is sent off to contractors at SewerAI, who run it through their AI-assisted algorithms to identify defects automatically.

Now this is the kind of AI shit (pun intended) I can get behind (pun even more intended).

But also kind of amazing that the US fucked up so bad that the EU is beginning to forgive the UK for the slap in the face of leaving.

To feel less alone.

That’s part of why I use Xubuntu/Kubuntu mainly and Lubuntu for real low end stuff. Straight vanilla Ubuntu is… not super appealing. Ubuntu server that’s just CLI/headless though, that’s pretty tits, imho.

I agree that the backend for snaps being proprietary sucks, but I actually think snaps themselves are pretty useful in server configurations because of the sandboxing and limiting access to system resources. I get the whole argument that it’s doing what flatpak already did yadda yadda, but like… competing standards happens. It’s part of life and always will be.

I work for Meta (Facebook).
For example, the word “protest” will now get your account and activity monitored.

Suddenly Ubuntu doesn’t seem so terrible now, does it??

Ubuntu gang represent.

These words are important to remember right now, as Trump and his ilk try to rewrite history with their “bitter, twisted lies.”

I sit down when I pee
There’s nothing that crazy about me
I’m just takin a whiz
Mind your own biz
Why’s everybody always staring at me?

Not the Onion, apparently

And nothing of value was lost

No and they don’t plan to federate it. Not on their roadmap.

Further Matrix is guided by the Matrix Foundation, a non-profit group.

But I mean sure let’s just dump one for-profit app for another as if it won’t follow the same path.

Printed books fall apart. Ancient tombs decay. But data is cheap.

Okay, but printed books don’t need a power supply and absolutely last quite a lot longer than cds, dvds, hdds, ssds, and even tape storage (tape currently is the best long-term data storage for cold storage).

None of them match books because all of them need a power source and some type of device to read the media on them.

The data on 8-track tapes is pretty much useless without an 8-track player even though a lot of the tapes are still around there’s fewer players to play them.

Books are the superior data storage format, sadly.

Good. US citizens should also avoid international travel unless they have plans to stay there, because getting out isn’t the problem, it’s the coming back that seems to be catching a lot of people up.

RIP to one more thing a big corporation bought and successfully murdered. Skype before Microsoft was literally amazing.

I mean, you can’t argue with the results. It’s literally the only news I’ve seen about the popes funeral. He successfully made it about him.

They shouldn’t have let him on the fucking grounds with that clownsuit on. People need to turn him away when he breaks the fucking rules. So many fucking enablers of this stupid shit.

Abuser mental profile checks out.

You and me baby ain’t nothin but mammals…

St. Christopher as the patron saint of travelers at least made more sense.

We’re literally living in clown world.
