  • Well, see, there’s your problem. You handcrafted this code carefully, but didn’t think about today’s coding standards. That’s outdated code you use. Why use a simple print with variable substitutions, if you can instead just vibe print it by sending a rough description what your program tries to output to an LLM to account for such possible errors! /s

    Me: Buys a gaming PC

    Ads: Here’s a local pizza delivery service. Want to order?

    Fine, somewhat related at least.

    Today:

    Me: Buys a gaming PC

    Ads: what about this gaming PC? Or that one? Maybe this upgrade kit (worse specs than what I bought) is interesting? Like this PSU/CPU/RAM/graphics card/…? Hot gamer singles in your area want to…

    Ah, fuck Off!






  • Soooo, you’re telling me, that if I want to use a NVIDIA graphics card in Linux, I am not allowed to load its official driver’s kernel modules unless I either deactivate secure boot or generate my own signing key and load it into the UEFI, as otherwise this would make the kernel untrusted. But on windows every $random_game_publisher is allowed to run at kernel level without it being considered untrusted?

    Two possible explanations:

    1. Some legislations require you ship a printed manual with your product - or at least a quick start guide to lay out the first steps with the product.

    2. Never underestimate people’s stupidity. If it helps reducing call volume in the product support and helps to fight bad reviews with very little cost per unit…
