Thanks for sharing. I guess some things in life you only start to acknowledge when you experience them yourself. Getting out of sync with society seems to be one of them.

Been there done that. You never, ever know what’s the story behind a beggar. If I have and feel like it and I’m not in a rush I give. This is a fucked up world.

For the nice formatting you need to learn LaTeX. This could be a starting point.

Um… Ok you might have saved me from a few faux passes.

So technically all non-Germans are Unkrauts! I‘m incorporating this word.

Workaround 1: AI write my thesis in French. Translator app, translate my thesis into English.

Workaround 2: AI write my thesis and insert „Hadouken“ randomly everywhere. AI remove „Hadouken“ from my thesis.

I am toying with the idea of getting this…

That Turbo-Charged connection was pulling more than 200 KB/s

I feel age has little to do with it. I‘ve seen these traits in people from all ages.

I work in a small lab. Our systems are controlled using two computers that run 24/7. The main real-time control stack is open source and open hardware. I happens in a Linux box that runs NixOS. I would trust my life to that machine and fly it to the end of the universe and back again. It just never fails. We can even run updates while everything keeps running undisturbed. Some devices need drivers that only work with Windows. The second computer runs those under Windows 11. In contrast we have to babysit that machine constantly, USB connections are unreliable, things fail randomly. When we have to update, the world comes to a halt. It‘s an amazing difference.

I‘m very glad the company where I work has explicitly prohibited the use of AI for coding, in fear of spilling their company secrets.

I admire its purity. A survivor…unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality.

Pay with a check.

Nice read, thanks.

Ahh…. I was there my friend. Similar setup, 486 DX4 100, USRobotics modem. I had the IRQ conflict. Me and my friend figured out how to change the channels by reading the mainboard‘s manual. I had to change some jumpers around. It was my first modem and I had never connected to the internet before.

I believe he’s talking about Germany not allowing critique on war crimes and mass murder if perpetrated by Israel.
