this is fully intended to trick gullible people. it is absolutely about the money.

burning all these dev tokens just stabilizes or increases the price of the remaining tokens, and they couldn’t just sell them either, that would crash the price. they’re selling gta6 clips for $160k.

if you think that burning dev tokens is a sign of good will, you are a mark.

when i watched ds6 all the way through for the first time, there was an episode on the ferengi homeworld that immediately reminded me of this story because quark has to put a quarter in a chair to sit on it.

if you read the article instead of just the title, you’d just know it’s WSL instead of having to speculate.

the awkwardly-written title is referring to ubuntu via WSL (“on Windows 11”) as opposed to just running linux (“native”).

the article is pretty clear what it’s about, even the caption on the first image straight up says what i just wrote. you read it instead of just reading the title, right?

yep, flock exists purely to get around the 4th amendment and the requirement to have a warrant.

this is legitimately what i think is happening. both with github’s constant outages and windows 11 seeming to be getting worse faster than ever before. a fucking gigabyte of ram for a weather app, a beginner programming project, built like an electron app because i guess copilot doesn’t know c#.

microsoft: “93.73 and 90, that’s at least two nines right there”

never even heard of wmic. looked it up and it’s just been superseded by a new tool. this is barely even news, but neowin had to title the article like it’s a big deal.

all of them are just admitting that they’re embarrassed about using AI instead of their own brains. of course, they don’t know that because claude never told them.

you’re obviously using novell netware.

c’mon, give us a hard one next time.

ideally you’d setup wireguard (or whatever) for them to use so you’re not just opening ports to the entire internet. i use jellyfin and like it a lot, but the real major issue with jellyfin is explaining to your elderly mother how to setup and use wireguard on her smart tv.

i’ve been using emacs for a while and i cannot believe i’ve never thought to check for that. sure enough, there it is. amazing.

and reminder, these places make more money if you don’t find a match. they are actively disincentivized from doing their stated job.

same is true for companies like incogni. if mass data harvesting is made illegal, they’re out of a job. and many of them are owned by companies that also own data brokers. the removal process is often just sending your data to a data broker and asking if they have it, which obviously just hands that data right over in the process. they will make more money from data harvesting staying legal and they know it.
