Fuck AI Art

To be honest, I hope they never do it. Because at this point it is absolutely impossible that it can live up to the hype. It will be a disappointment no matter what.

They can do other games in that universe though. They will work. I actually believe they will work better without HL3 existing.

The thought that he could actually somehow help the AfD to victory scares the hell out of me. Once they are in power, they will not voluntarily give it up again. We have to stop them before the elections, by any means necessary.

Yep, that was most definitely the picture I wanted to end this year with. Thank you.

Out of the gloom a voice said unto me

"Smile and be happy, things could get worse".

So I smiled and was happy and behold

things did get worse.

Or filled with hate. Unfortunately, a family member recently joined them. Someone who made his Abitur with grade of 1.0. This is pretty much the best school-graduation possible in Germany. And he has a Master's degree.

Highly intelligent but hates foreigners because he had a few bad experiences in his youth. That seems to be enough for some. Very very sad.

Most webservers run Ubuntu and it is the default OS for the overwhelming amount of cloud providers. Some run Debian though. Most enterprise applications run Red Hat or CentOS.

I never heard of OmniOS. Quick search says it is a distant descendant of OpenSolaris.

Given how rare that was already used back in its time and how practically nullexistent the community is for it (compared to Linux) I can say with high confidence the users are limited to a few enthusiasts and hobbyists.

Alpine is a special case and is indeed quite useful on VMs or IoT devices. I used it successful as base for a taped-together home automation server on a repurposed android phone.

No? Unix is not a thing anymore. There are some rare edgecases with some older systems still running a variant like AIX or HP-UX but that is below 1%.

80% of what we call "cloud" is Linux and ~65% of all Websites run on Linux. The rest is Windows and maybe 0.5% some variant of BSD.

Well, you can't see the stars from a lot of places. I live in a small town here, but I'm surrounded by large industrial cities that are always very well lit. It's very rare to see the stars because the bright city lights outglow them. Unfortunately, light pollution is a real problem.

I think the first time I actually saw a full starry sky was on vacation in an area far away from any cities. I was almost 20.

I wish Richard Stallmann all the best and many many more years to come.

His reveal starts at timestamp 02:00.

I wanted to link the original video from https://audio-video.gnu.org/video/gnu40/rms-gnu40.webm, but the server seems overloaded. I try to download it and host it on Peertube when i get the chance. For now i have to link a random source on Youtube unfortunately. (did not link to piped because that breaks the thumbnail..)
