Hardware is the means of production and software leverages that. AI is part of that software suite working in tandem with hardware to be productive.

I would argue computers in general are both the means of production, as well as the radio networks like LoRa that can let them communicate without large infrastructure buildouts, intstead relying on truly neutral mesh connections with no central servers. Thus is covers both production and communication in one device.

The workers must seize the means of production and communication.

Is this Burger King?

No, this is GRUB!

Its documentation is wonderful.

Unfortunately, reading documentation is often enough of an obstacle that it’s still off-putting to people (which is absolutely silly of course… it’s just reading). Fewer people like to actually read long documentation than we think, which I took as part of the joke here.

Yes. Get over it. Keep wanking the dick of a creep who looks for any excuse to drop the n-bomb in his films. I don’t give a shit. Tarantino is wildly overrated in general.

…and is yet more evidence that the old branding was atrocious and they need to drop this childish “tee hee we made a sex joke” about a scene from an overrated movie from the 90s.

I hate this aspect of open source, and the giggling, crass immaturity of a mass number of men within the open source community.

I wasn’t familiar with paint.net so I went looking and this stood out to me:

It has been compared to other digital photo editing software packages such as Adobe® Photoshop®, Corel® Paint Shop Pro®, Microsoft Photo Editor, and The GIMP.

This is on their main page, in the main description of what paint.net is and what it does. Whatever happened to that fork of GIMP that dropped the fucking atrocious branding.

This right here is an example of why it’s bad, because this chump gets to get away with making a reference to the idea of a sexual “gimp.” It’s been a bad name for a long time now.

I get that rebrands are hard but fuck me, adding the word “The” before it makes it seem so crass and worthless in comparison to the other things in the list which aren’t given skeevy fucking nicknames.

You’re allowing people not directly involved in the project to fucking make it look weird and creepy by keeping the fucking name.

I’m tired.

/end of only semi-related rant, please excuse me

Especially when your chief of operations doesn’t want to read the tech manual.

O’Brien’s a union debian man all the way.

It’s one of the features I love about Njalla for domains the most.

You don’t even need a ddns service because they support updating through simple https calls.

So I have a super tiny script that basically checks the WAN IP through ipify, then checks that against the routers current WAN IP, and if they match it does nothing and ends, but if its different, it sends out a curl with the new IP. I have it running every few minutes in a cronjob. It’s actually technically my service with the most uptime according to healthchecks.io.
