this martin guy is the same one who made the asahi linux drama a thing and brigaded torvalds?
yeah. fuck that guy. i don't care what he has to say about some 20 year old code that nobody cares if it was decompiled from ninty's sdk or not. nintendo isn't even making a fuss about it! this is all just martin scrambling for more attention, again.
fuck ai full stop. imho. it's cooking the planet and stealing art and funding nazis all the same whether you use it to make fun of the nazis or ai bros or make something otherwise entertaining with it. you're still contributing to the problem using it at all.
daily reminder that luddites weren't against new tech out of fear or misunderstanding, they were against the owner class hoarding all extra productivity as wealth instead of reducing workload and/or increasing pay for the workers alongside tech advancements.
holy shit my dude black panther style means irl black panthers from actual history not marvel movies ffs
the stock market has a LOT of automated trade. when the price of a highly traded stock falls and reaches certain points it triggers limit orders to buy, and when it rises it triggers limit orders to sell. that's why you never see a clean rising line or falling line for more than a few days at a time, these auto orders run by the huge investment companies always stabilise things a bit. to see larger trends you have to scale up your chart to see past the stabilising periods.
bret is nyt's go-to cryptofascist. he's always got these bootlicking propaganda pieces.
that has nothing to do with metric vs imperial:
"Lumber manufacturers typically cut a tree into the various standard types of dimensional lumber very shortly after the tree is felled. At this point, the 2 x 4 is actually 2 inches x 4 inches, a 2 x 10 is actually 2 inches x 10 inches, etc. But then the newly-sawn (but soaking wet) lumber is then kiln-dried until it reaches the desired moisture level. During this process, it shrinks as the moisture in the wood is removed and the wood cells shrink. Once the drying is complete, the boards are then planed to a standard size. Hence, what started out as a 2 x 4 now measures 1 1/2 inches x 3 1/2 inches."

this is a concept i've been trying to put into concrete terms for myself and you just, like, fuckin nailed it right down. thank you so much.
mint is good, pop!os is also good, i use and recommend endeavouros as arch-but-easy. tbh just about any popular distro these days is prolly gonna do fine for the average user.
"abusing AI" is a fucked way to report this.
