Helping with complex Terminal commands/shell scripts is basically my #1 practical use-case for AI right now… especially if you use tools like JQ a lot. Saving keystrokes is a lifestyle, after all.

I am also a really big fan of Warp, and was even before they added the AI feature (the editor-style functionality is wonderful). For the record, the AI isn’t always running in Warp, to use it you start a prompt with hash (#) and then ask for what you want and it presents options.

It does not make a meaningful difference at all. Get the keyboard you like best. Personally, I’m a fan of the Logitech G915 (Windows layout) for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Debian is my go-to. So long as you’re already comfortable with Linux, you can get gaming working with a tiny bit of elbow grease… and unlike some other distros, Debian is rock-solid.

The gay agenda involves two gallons of milk, two dozen eggs, and some potting soil. I can get the milk and eggs if you can go to the hardware store for that soil.

Context is everything. You are deliberately conflating a ridiculous joke with a veiled threat. You know the difference, so why are you feigning ignorance?

There is definitely a giant radioactive lizard emerging at that location.

DRM ONLY ever affects paying customers, ergo DRM is always unethical malware.

Also, let’s never forget how Ghostwire Tokyo had Denuvo patched IN over a year after release.

You could also just tax those things at rates the super-rich will actually feel in their bank accounts.

I liked Windows 11 when it first landed, then came the forced updates that continually reinstalled trash you removed… like Edge and Teams. And then came the invasive advertising for OneDrive and other Microsoft products.

I’m running dual boot now with Debian + Gnome on a separate partition, and slowly weaning myself of Windows entirely. The only thing I’ll miss is GamePass.

There are rumors that Prigozhin ordered them to move on Moscow in the event of his untimely death.

I’d take that with a heaping pinch of salt, though… and even if true, it doesn’t mean they’ll comply.

Debian + GNOME.

Historically I’ve been a huge fan of Ubuntu, but I just can’t tolerate Snap any more and started moving away from Ubuntu in general.

Ohhh, I’ll have to check this out. I’ve been gradually moving away from Ubuntu toward Debian (w/ GNOME) for a while because Snap is hot garbage and I don’t want to have anything to do with it. Were it not for Snap, I still really like Ubuntu.

Intel or ARM?

The battery life on Apple Silicon (at least on MacOS) is so good it’s bonkers. I’ve been curious about how well Linux does, but I haven’t successfully gotten a Linux distro w/ desktop fully running on my M2 MacBook yet (driver issues).

They reacquired a significant amount of critical Marvel IP, they completed ownership of Star Wars (the first film was owned by Fox), they acquired a huge portfolio of lucrative IP (one of things you are complaining about), but most importantly they acquired Star… a huge media presence outside the US, especially in Asia.

Also, don’t forget that the merger only completed in 2019, right before a particular major global event that we only just started coming out of… and which continues to impact the film industry in particular in some very wild ways.

The phrasing is terrible. After reading the article, what they mean is that the ending was a full reset that lets them start over.

They consider the Tom Holland trilogy (so far) an “extended origin story”.

I only watched the first two episodes, but watching this show was like experiencing a panic attack. Does it ever get less anxiety-triggering?

Exactly. Neo/liberalism is just right-wing feudalism with extra steps. If you allow (let alone encourage) the unmitigated consolidation of wealth (and therefore authority) you will ALWAYS move society rightward. Hence the term “Late-stage Capitalism”.

Economies require trade and incentive to thrive, but there must be limits to how much a person or entity can accrue.
