Soap box time:

Mythos is a clever algorithm, but it won’t make it into the history books.

The people getting excited have no fucking clue what is going on.

Claude Mythos is a VW Beetle - genuinely interesting design with an advertising budget larger than some counties, decorating a solution that isn’t remotely a good use of the money being spent on it.

I would be pissed at these headlines, if this were my work.

I, an expert, used the latest bullshit brute force libraries in a novel way to move human knowledge forward.

Headline: “Latest bullshit brute force library makes discovery!”

Oh, yeah. None of my usual techniques would help get newer KDE on stable.

I guess there’s a chance it’s in back-ports, or will get there soon.

I can’t comment on Debian Testing.

I just run stable and pull cutting edge stuff from back-ports or flathub.

For some fancy stuff there’s usually a .deb file to download from the official site.

If I’m really desperate, there’s always piping a curl command to sudo, if I really really trust the provider.

Misleading title (not yours, the article, itself).

Omitting the word “minors” from the title makes a world of difference.

Many of us can argue all day about where the line should be between freedom and safety for mature adults, while agreeing that minors (and other vulnerable people) deserve extra protection.

Edit: Also to echo the earlier comment *where dafuq are these parents?" Haha.

About fucking time.

Citizen’s United (and similar corruption) took away our ability to regulate tech billionaires, but we still out number them.

If they want to stop being scared, they can curb their parasitic behaviors and return the billions they have extracted.

Edit: Getting off of the list of the world’s billionaires is a path filled with fancy meals, accolades, ribbon cutting ceremonies, and thank-you letters from happier children.

Billionaires have a moral obligation to a cushy job (become non-billionares), and they aren’t doing it, today.

Microsoft has yet to explain how or why the lapse occurred.

Highly skilled technical staff are expensive, and it turns out that some people still use Windows when Microsoft doesn’t hire the talent necessary to keep Windows working.

Edit: Also, bribes from three letter government agencies are probably pretty nice.

Understanding of asshole bosses, more like.

Washington is mentioned, but not with enough context to determine that Washington uses the cameras.

Which is weird, and other comments mention the whole article may be AI slop, rehashed from somewhere else. :(

Let’s be sure to name and shame, for anyone who missed it: Georgia and Florida.

Company is - you guessed it - Flock. (Mention of Flock in the article has been removed with a correction.)

It’s also fun to pass a “nothing interesting” note privately to the rogue (especially if they’re playing some variety of an untrustworthy scoundrel).

The party jumping at shadows tend to make the rogue’s player grin smugly, which sometimes makes the party jump even harder at shadows.

Apparently he makes bank.

Epic!

Thanks!

I was going to push back on your point here, but then I couldn’t think of a game that makes a good counterpoint.

Before they enshitified all the sports games, I would have pushed back a bit and comparer running Windows for a specific game to emulating an Atari for nostalgia.

But actually, the last good version of many of those sports games probably runs in Wine now anyway.

One pushback - there’s still community on some of those very shitty games. I understand people not wanting to leave their gamer group behind.

Of course, my gamer group all moved to SteamDeck.

Ouch!

The good news is you’ll get invited to Cobol/AS400/Mainframe conventions if eventually you’re the only ones left on Windows.

Those folks have similar challenges, but are great to party with after a day of conference talks.

I’ve daily droven Linux for ~3 years and learned a lot

I don’t have any thoughts on certs that haven’t already been shared, but some thoughts for any interviews you may land:

• The person interviewing you has probably daily driver Linux for 20 years, and that’s okay. We all have to start somewhere.
• There aren’t going to be many others (if any) interviewing who have daily driven Linux for three years.

So be humble, but not too humble. Haha.

We’re a neat bubble here, but running Linux as a daily driver is still pretty rare, and puts you way ahead of the pack of other candidates, at least for entry/early Linux systems jobs.

Edit: And if you find an organization that uses AI spicy autocomplete to do entry level Linux admin work, run far away. There’s not enough money in the world to make it worth working with people that stupid (who choose to use hallucination for problems that demand reliability, haha).
