  • It's a great day to delete your X account(s)

  • I signed up years ago when quite a few TV programs I watched would make announcements on Twitter, like when new series were starting and that type of thing. I also liked the idea of following certain institutions and celebs to keep up with their announcements. I was quite disappointed when I noticed a lot of info passing me by - I had encountered the algorithm.

    I hadn't logged in for years, and thought I had deleted my account, until just now when I tried it and found it still active. So, I just deactivated it and in 30 days it will be gone for good.

  • Putin also knows how strong Europe would be with Ukraine, which is likely why he is so hell bent on destabilising the bloc and taking Ukraine for himself. The sad part is it seems to be working for him. Even if he doesn't get Ukraine the way he hoped, the campaign to destabilise the bloc is worrying.

  • The email analogy holds up in this case: you can't log in to your gmail account with your protonmail credentials, but gmail users can send emails to protonmail users.

  • I'm holding out hope that discounts wont work this time, because the motivation is different. It used to be about cost, now it's about digital sovereignty. I won't bet anything of value, but I can hope.

  • Interesting. I knew the stuff about Munich, and I knew Gates was still a shareholder, but didn't know he was still so actively involved. Based on that last link, it sounds more like he'll be telling Nadella to get on a plane and what to say on arrival rather than get on it himself though.

  • Nadella you mean? It's been a while since Gates was CEO of Microsoft.

  • The "do more with less" philosophy doesn't make sense here either. Why not "do loads more with same"?

    Imagine the current workforce, with all the experience and domain knowledge, paired with AI instead of replaced by it. Humans can do such awesome things when we work together.

    These billionaires can be so short-sighted sometimes. All profit and no vision.

  • Yes, the difference in temperature is interesting, I don't want to seem dismissive of that. Just the choice of wording was also interesting.

  • It's still an odd way to compare temperatures:

    • Double of 1 degree is 2 degrees, so not very different.
    • Double of 30 degrees is 60 degrees, so wildly different.
    • Double of -20 degrees is -40 degrees, so a lot colder instead of warmer.

  • Good info here. The only thing I disagree with is turning to rpm-ostree if flatpak doesn't have something. There is an officially preferred order and the ostree overlays are last resort. It will work short term but might cause headaches during future updates.

    I love Bazzite. It's a great distro and I want it to do well, so this is something I hope the noob guides start making a bit more noise about, because otherwise some of the recent Windows refugees might have problems down the line.

  • But, AI can do the work of 10 of you humans, so it can write 10 times the bugs and deploy them to production 10 times faster. Especially if pesky testers stay out the way instead of finding some of the bugs.
