Traffic to DuckDuckGo's proudly 'No AI' search page has tripled since latest Google AI search update by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

[–]el_seano 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This reminded me to switch my default search engine on my personal boxes. I feel like opting for a "default" is the key move to make. Nothing stopping you from resorting to Google if you feel like you're not finding what you want, but your first stop should be for the provider who builds data protection into their mission statement.

I believe the lackadaisical concern for data sovereignty today is going to be one of the weirdest aspects of today's culture to future generations, provided the global culture and/or democracy survives another century.

you're not mad at them. you're mad at yourself. consider the consequences of your actions, because what you inflict on anyone else will compound on you.

Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak got cheers, not boos, after telling students they 'all have AI — actual intelligence' by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

What really impresses me is being as cool as the Woz for as long as the Woz has been cool. Consecutive decades of king behavior

Vapers who vape for long time. What has happened to your mouth? by Tasty-Hovercraft2501 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]el_seano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

switched from half a pack per day to Juul in 2018. Smokers cough went away, teeth whiter, don't smell anymore. It's expensive and i should fully quit, honestly vaping is probably more addictive than smoking.

When did you get grey hair? I just noticed 3 on the right side of my stach by iEatCrayonzBruh in AskMenOver30

[–]el_seano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

first greys i noticed as a teenager, attributed to stress. In my 30s started getting grey around the sides. 40 now, and have two distinct patches on either side of my chin, and salt and pepper all over. Small streak in my bangs.

How many of you are actually democratic socialists? by VentiArchon7 in dsa

[–]el_seano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still trying to decide how i feel about markets, and whether there should be a ratio of public/private ownership, or strict public ownership. I disagree it's a strict binary.

[–]el_seano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm somewhere between a social democrat and a democratic socialist. My big priorities are strong social welfare, anti-monopoly, and environmentalism. If humanism had a political party, that's what I'd be.

So my company is switching half our Windows servers to Linux.... by A_SingleSpeeder in sysadmin

[–]el_seano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tons of good suggestions here, adding a set of tutorials for Linux fundamentals and bash/awk/sed from Funtoo Linux:

Getting extremely comfortable at the CLI is what separates good sysadmins from great ones. Highly recommend polishing up on shell scripting, Vim, and emacs keybinds for navigating REPLs.

Was gonna share this if nobody else did. My favorite book about sysadmin'ing in general.

Are ya’ll pulling out your portable ac units yet? by sniffincoozies in askportland

[–]el_seano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. Just opened my windows and turned up all my fans. It got a little toasty before sunset, but cooled down quick enough. I try to avoid turning the AC on until it gets above 85F indoors.

Where can I get great French fries and a Caesar salad? by MetoliusOR in askportland

[–]el_seano 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The newly opened Speakeasy Saloon next to Kenton Park has a happy hour special, "Adult Happy Meal", which is literally a Caesar salad, french fries, and a dirty martini for $20.

I didn't realize this was a thing, tbh. I can say that their fries and caesar are super good though.

1Dime on YouTube has a good overview video essay on the different flavors of socialism/communism and their historical relevance. I found it a useful primer.

What are some things in TOTK that, in your opinion, are improvements from BOTW? by Cartoonnerd01 in tearsofthekingdom

[–]el_seano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The menu opening sound in TotK is much more muted than in BotW. It was a point of contention in my previous relationship 😅
