    Someone did snatch your phone and run off. It just happened to be you.

    This is a real "duh" kind of article. Did they think they would be training AI and then they would be given an award or something?

    Eventually, the domain expires. This is why there are "books" made of physical paper.

    I totally get that, but I also understand that the word "Nazi" has been redefined to mean something other than what it originally meant. This whole "redefinition" of language busin…

    It isn't the volume of people as much as it is money and control over information.

    Awesome! I just tried the rpm package yesterday again, and remembered why it didn't work. It did not like a bunch of dependencies it was gonna have to install. When do you think yo…

    Someday people will be able to disagree politically again without having to de-platform each other for doing so.

    It looks like Ethereum is somehow a part of this universe along with AI? I am not sure what the identity is here fully, but I get that writers are wanted. Are they supposed to also…

    Is it really that no one can afford it, or is it more no one really wants to back independent studios?

    I think I can't really use it that well on Fedora Linux. I was hoping they'd have an appimage, but not the last time I looked.
