Yeah, I belatedly realised that.

Apparently Debian ranks lower than the distros that are based on it.

What ranking are you using to arrive at this conclusion?

So … a company that despite decades of effort, can’t make a competitive web browser with all the help in the world, is now going to distract itself with even more non-essential rubbish with absolutely zero chance of success … can’t wait to hear what the excuse is going to be when this CEO leaves to pursue other opportunities.

Meanwhile the Assumed Intelligence Ponzi scheme will have collapsed, taking with it a significant portion of the economy, let alone the ICT industry.

This timeline needs some tweaking…

Why do you see this as USA only?

Because the announcement doesn’t use UTC to announce the event and there’s absolutely no chance that anyone outside the US knows when some random timezone is, or if daylight savings is active in that timezone or not at the time of the event.

The announcement also tells me that the organisation is run out of the USA, not a place universally known for its inclusivity or global consideration. Reinforced by a text only image with no alt text.

I think a tech workers coalition is an interesting and potentially useful idea, but the announcement doesn’t even contain a URL to the organisation.

Which leads to my conclusion, a USA only affair.

I’d be delighted to be wrong, but that’s what the announcement conveyed to me.

So … USA tech workers only?

No, “the due and payable” kind.

I suspect that the house of cards will come tumbling down as soon as one of the companies in this massive Ponzi scheme fails to pay their bill.

So … now we have plausible gibberish … also known as Autocorrect on Steroids … that includes corporate sponsorship… seems like we’re moving closer to the true meaning of advertising with every iteration.

Next we’ll be asked to pay for this feature … oh wait.

I can’t wait until the Assumed Intelligence bubble finally bursts and takes with it some of the largest companies in the world … perhaps this is how we finally address climate change.

So the net of obligation, ownership and mutually assured destruction continues to tighten?

At some point this is going to explode … right?

Because they’re all copying each other’s homework?

… and anyone else who should not have access to your data.

And now you know why you should encrypt your data on any cloud provider.

I wonder … will it be another case of “Too Big To Fail” … or will it be … “Let The Market Decide”?

I’m guessing the answer depends on how many medals the CEO of Oracle can bestow upon the Orange.

Me … cynical … no … just been here for a while.

?

Why type uptime when w is sufficient?

Wow, that’s some serious misinformation.

More likely than not you’re confusing modifier keys.

On the Mac, the zoom is [Command] + [+].

In Linux it’s [Control] + [+]

This is pretty much true across the board. It’s sometimes non-obvious because wrappers like UTM try to “help”.

The alternative is to ssh into the VM and continue to use the MacOS shortcuts you’re used to.

Nothing says “I don’t care about my data.” more than the examples in the screenshot.

What happens when two different files in different directions have the same name?

Kali ≠ Debian

I did not see an apt-get update

In my experience, unmet dependencies are unlikely to happen on a stable version where you only installed from the official repo.

The LZMA decompression errors point at a much more fundamental issue. I’m suspecting that the repository URLs point at non standard locations or downloads were interrupted, though I’m not sure exactly how, since AFAIK, apt checks the checksum.

If you must have something that’s not In your distro, do yourself a favour and install Docker and run your package inside there, much less chance of killing your system.

I’ll add it to the list:

• AI is Assumed Intelligence.
• AI is autocorrect on steroids.
• AI is a Dunning-Kruger accelerator.
• AI is a classic case of Gell-Mann amnesia.
