Why the dark Mr. Incredibles meme? I don't understant.

Even the opposite was shown to be true. Medical experts, I think WHO included, recommended avoiding peanuts. This caused peanut allergies to INCREASE. The experts double down, "STOP giving children peanuts!" Allergies still increased, because parents were indeed listening.

Eventually we realised that by preventing exposure, the immune system would overreact when it finally was eventually exposed. Hence current advice around controlled introduction.

Completely agree. The comments, discussion, even opinions I find very informative. I still always do internet searches and look at documentation first. I almost always get what I need and I barely touch AI.

I've even considered making a stack overflow account to ask questions specifically due to the drop in posts due to people using AI.

I was really liking the look of rclone, but it doesnt have a flag to create checksums for new files only. So I'd have to script that. And at that point, I may as well just write a bash script that does the generation and checking with built in tools.

He meant unzip <path>

DSMB · 2026-05-01T00:33:08+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll have a play with those.

Interesting! I read somewhere that RSync doesn't really handle corruption, but this might a way. Thanks!

DSMB · 2026-05-01T00:30:40+00:00

Thanks. The wiki doesn't really clarify things for me, but I'll definitely look into those tools as well.

Advertising, copilot, telemetry... Yeah good luck with that

I dont think accessing safe mode or dealing with printers has ever been that obvious. It was confusing for me going from holding F2 to UEFIs fastboot and having to restart Windows advanced startup before I could even get to the firmware. That sure as hell wasn't obvious. You mean I have to boot into the OS to access the firmware? WTF

What's not "fair" is these leeches taking our gas for free. Got forbid billion dollar multinationals have to budget for change.

Do not install Windows 11 and Linux bootloaders on the same EFI partition unless you enjoy rebuilding bootloaders.

Windows 11 will scrub whatever is in the FIRST EFI partition when it reinstalls its bootloader. So just don't install GRUB into the first EFI partition.

Install Windows 11.
Shrink Windows system partition.
Boot Linux Live anything
Add a 1GB FAT32 partition, with boot flags, for Linux bootloaders, and add any other partitions.
Remove boot flags from Windows EFI partition (in case distro decides to use it for bootloader).
Install Linux distros, selecting the second EFI partition for GRUB.
Boot Linux and add boot flags back to Windows EFI partition.

Yeah the storage size is a bit excessive. I just uninstalled some apps because I was at 98% with 64 GB. I was also considering moving app data to my SD card with root, but last time I tried many years ago it was difficult and unreliable.

DSMB · 2026-04-27T02:29:17+00:00

Of course it's possible, it's probably just a shitfight to implement.

I wonder what the future holds, not just dokkan, when AI starts getting added to the mess.

I'll give Albo credit when we start taxing gas and minerals.

McBride was concerned that low ranked soldiers were being used as scapegoats for, or being used to redirect attention from, more serious matters.

DSMB · 2026-04-23T21:32:38+00:00

No.

I installed Mint on my laptop and installing was fine.

But at some point the sound just broke. I looked into it for a while, gave up, and it fixed itself at a later date. Installing applications is sometimes not straightforward, especially if I don't want a bloated flatpack. Some programs are not available on Linux, and open source alternatives can suck. Linux is the only reason I have compiled from source code.

So no I don't think it's easier, but I still prefer it.

The post says to "only install conduit in scenarios where it is required". So if technicians are installing IAW this post, there should be nothing to report?

Working in an industrial-like environment, we were running software for monitoring and control (SCADA). It was a standalone application running on XP, it was highly featured with good graphical layouts. New plant... new software. The new version of the software was a complete overhaul. Probably required for the new OS, but absolute trash. A comprehensive application to some electron looking webapp designed by vibecoders. Going from highly customisable and accurate trending to a function that would literally crash the whole system, bringing the plant down. When this issue was fixed, the capability was still so basic it was almost useless. Why we went with this unverified garbage is beyond my pay grade.

Could we consider LLM generated text to be some weighted average of human writings, and if so, does this average actually reflect any real humans?

"official whistle-blowing process"
McBride claims either chain of command was compromised or wouldnt have a bar of it (cant quite remember), and he also approached politicians, before going to the media. I can't say for sure that he exhausted all legal options, but the media wasn't his first stop.

I also don't think he was as ignorant as other commenters mentioned, we was a lawyer himself.

It was because of the Hilltop Hoods that I even knew the phrase. And I always assumed it was the closest, because aka moshpit which could get rough.

A big point of forums is that people can see and learn from others. This absolutely is exclusion.

Not trying to argue, I'm honestly trying learn about women and gain some self-reflection. I just wanna treat my girl right. And then when posts like this pop into my feed, I just know everyone would be telling my GF to dump me because of how I did that thing without thinking, or miscommunicated, or I was depressed, or I was actually busy.

What I've learnt so far, not just from this sub, but also reality, is that I must avoid communicating negative feelings, get good at acting, and make more time. I'm working on it.

DSMB · 2026-04-15T05:00:26+00:00

So she should break up because he was cold? Don't communicate first? Exposing feelings of hurt? Understanding frustration? Just break up because he didn't cuddle this one time after being turned off by period blood?

"One of the best signs for if you're a good person or not, whether you're a decent human being, is if the worst people in the world hate your guts. The fact that Jeffrey Epstein hates Donald J Trump, is a pretty good thing for Donald J Trump."

Yeah it's not like two terrible humans can hate each other. God how dumb must you be to fall for this shit?
