… for now.

Got it. It’s more to do with the case of an off-site backup in-case-your-house-burns-down scenario. Thanks.

RAID is not a backup anyhow

Can you expand on that? I have a 2-bay NAS with a RAID 1 (disk mirroring) set up precisely because I thought if one disk fails I have a backup. Is that not how it works?

AI being pumped into everything. It drives me absolutely nuts that every fucking thing has to have AI. Now you can buy a laptop that uses AI to write an email, just so the receiver can use AI to summarise it. We’re going to start using computers to develop enormous amounts of crap before we finally realise that putting the effort into writing, reading, drawing, designing etc. is actually worthwhile. Don’t get me wrong, I see several use cases for AI where it’s very good, and studied genetic algorithms at uni (i.e. software that can rewrite itself given feedback on its output), but what is being pushed on us now will just encourage laziness and ultimately be a detriment to humans in general.

Relevant, for those interested in the history of grep. Computerphile

Hey! Hey guys! Here’s an idea: let’s continue to do fuck all about it! I shits me to despair that we have known for a LONG time what will happen and what needs to be done, yet here we are continuing to fly into catastrophe

Except he was found in Pakistan, yes?

Amon Göth. Such a good movie, but I just can’t see Liam Neeson in any other role - especially “tough guy” roles - after watching it.

Is that the Behind The Bastards Robert Evans? Love his work.

Is him being gay even relevant to what happened, or are they just trying to make this about something it’s not?

True. Gotta wait til they hit puberty

He will, right after releasing Half Life 3.

You moron everyone else has a voice: it’s called the house of representatives. This was a body specifically to advise on indigenous issues, primarily because they live in remote communities and are therefore under-represented. A lot of money goes their way each year from the federal budget for purposes decided by old white men who live in cities, so why not have an indigenous body advise on where that money gets spent? Seems a lot less wasteful to me.

The shrug is before the stomp. In the video she obviously complains when she is stood on, but the commonly shared still is mid-stomp before the player has had time to react to the pain.
