Anyone remember Q&A? This was really impressive software in the early 90s. I was 10 years old and had no real use for databases but made one with my contacts just so that I could play with the bot.

@GyrosGeier The human mind hasn't evolved to deal with all the craziness in the world right now.

@MrLovenstein Finally. A metric by which I'm not doing to terribly at.

@neil yikes I've never gotten one of those at least

Hmm @ Flatpak. Maybe it's less effort to just help with the Lutris backport in Debian instead.

@requiem Sounds like something that @dadecoza would do.

@splendorr not me, I take every possible opportunity to make those kind of people uncomfortable, and I encourage others to do the same

@rrix Oooh!

@deane Isn't it quite common to put sqlite DBs in all kinds of interesting places?

@eugenialoli I've never used it myself, but hear so many good things about it from people who have jumped over to using it from commercial offerings. Good job to all involved!

@mitch I saw earlier this week that they're playing shows in South Africa next year... I didn't realise they're still around!

@LALegault Still better than a maga hat.

After all this time on the Fediverse, I finally had a reason to use the Mute button. I can see what the hype is about, it actually feels good to use it.

@humm @bagder I just checked its man page, I'm not sure what best in class means, but overall it does seem to be an exceptionally well put together man page, even despite some things that you mention that can be improved, I'd at least put it up there in the top 5%.

@juliank Yep, when Ukraine were made to give up their nuclear weapons programme they were told that they would have the full force of the US and their allies behind them if Russia were ever to attack in any way... instead they're being used to make politicians and their buddies rich while Ukraine is slowly being wiped out completely.

@algernon @ariadne I also had a 386SX and so badly wanted a co-processor. Eventually I saved up and upgraded all the way to an AMD 586-133. That was such a huge upgrade heh.

@praveen Plagiarism is a massive problem. Big corporations are using massive amounts of public data and processing it and presenting it as something that their LLMs have generated, but in fact it's a fancy form of autocomplete of other people's work.

@LucasWerkmeister I played Civ6 for the first time last month, and just saw that a friend is playing it too, suddenly feels like everyone is playing it :)

@luckytran I remember back when I was only 10 years old and disagreeing with adults and they told me "Your views will change as you get older". They're right that it changed, but only more towards the humanist/libertarian side, not away from it.
