I don’t know about you but I’m sick of being on the team that follows the rules and loses to the criminals that completely ignore the rules.

Unless you really need that version, you’ll want to install 26 when it comes out next April (upgrade should be very seamless).

I have a soy allergy too and don’t react to lecithin. My understanding is that by the time the soy is processed into lecithin, the “thing” you’re allergic to is pretty much non-existent and that’s why you don’t react to it.

This isn’t the case for all people who are allergic to soy. This is not medical advice.

Don’t get too hung up on it. It was an fyi not a “stop what you’re doing you newb!”

We need people to test the latest, bleeding edge. So you’re helping with that! But since you’re new to Linux I wanted to make sure you knew what you were getting yourself into.

It’s not that odd numbers are less stable. It’s more that they aren’t supported for long term. Many of the lessons learned are pushed to the next version though so either way you’re doing good.

I’m not a PC gamer so for me stamina and longevity matter more to me than bleeding edge technology.

Just in case you didn’t know, odd numbered Ubuntu versions (in your case 25) are considered short term releases and won’t be maintained beyond a year or two.

Unless you really need that version, you’ll want to install 26 when it comes out next April (upgrade should be very seamless).

Even numbered versions are supported long term, often for several years.

From the reddit thread that this came from.

Jaye Robinson. She is the late councillor for Ward 15.

Now I need to shower to get the stank off me.

And the US is about to do the same with “autistic” and neurodivergent people.

“Don’t Look Up” was not meant to be a documentary.

The question I often ask clients who think this way is "How much would it cost if it did fail? Let’s say this happened today. What would be the cost to replace it NOW and not only that but make sure people who are working can still do so with the interruption?

Now how much would it cost to schedule the interruption and manage the fall out in a way that is controllable?

For some, the catastrophic failure points to “hey I fixed the thing!” And the incentives for that kind of person are different from the person whose job is to mitigate risk.

It sounds like your boss is the former. In which case it’s going to be fun when it fails.

For those of you who want a simplified ELI5 on how AI works:

Pretend I’m going to write a sentence. Statistically, most sentences start with the word “I”. What word typically follows “I”? Looking at Lemmy, I’ll pick “use” since that gives me the most options. Now what word typically follows the word “use” but also follows the phrase “I use”? With some math, I see “Arch” is statistically popular so I’ll add that to my sentence.

Scale this out for every combination of words and sentences and you suddenly have AI.

It’s just math. All the way down.

I’m not in the autistic spectrum. They aren’t equals and they are barely tools.

One of the last posts I read on Reddit was a student in a CompSci class where the professor put a pair of googly eyes on a pencil and said, “I’m Petie the Pencil! I’m not sentient but you think I am because I can say full sentences.” The professor then snapped the pencil in half that made the students gasp.

The point was that humans anamorphize things that seem human, assigning them characteristics that make us bond to things that aren’t real.

Which, honestly, is the better way to go. Treat your compute resources like cattle, not pets.

I loved the cat subreddits that were originally jailbait or otherwise banned and turned into cat subreddits.

Pocketpussy, wetpussy…they were amazing.

I see it more like this:

I don’t think Lemmy would count as social media but that said, you can easily create a dummy account that just, for example, posts pictures of moths or beans or bread or whatever.

That sucks mate. I know we’re all facing existential threats on a regular basis so depression and anxiety are high among the population.

But that doesn’t mean you don’t matter. You matter.

Glad you’re getting the help you need!

Many red states have banned wearing masks at protests.

Unbelievable that there are some Americans in politics who wake up every day and consciously decide they want to put their foot on someone else’s neck so that they can feel superior, even if it means they are worse off.

Ftfy

even if they were, the denial of due process is the most abhorrent part of this.

Giving ICE a large heaping benefit of doubt, every person who has been deported should have had their day in court.

This is rotten all the way down. The legislative branch has done fuck all. States governments haven’t done shit to stop ICE. Judiciary hasn’t held anyone into account.

We, the people, can’t do anything except watch in horror because we’re all scared shitless.
