Glad to see that /. is still good for the occasional and perfectly-executed Star Trek reference.

Exactly. This is why my blood pressure spikes whenever I see some damn kid (#GOML) squeaking that "comments are a code smell."

The original point has been lost, corrupted into cargo-cult stupidity.

People have been worrying about AI for a while now. Now, at least when the AI goes haywire and starts taking things over, we'll have a little blue one who can save the day.

Yeah, it's just bad "UX" on top - the "internal" drive icon looks more like an external drive than the "external" drive does.

Execute "Reindeer Flotilla"

Fairly well known flat earth "influencer" David Weiss has been trying to get ChatGPT to admit the Earth is flat, stationary, and covered in a dome. ChatGPT has successfully turned his attempts into a mockery of his stupidity. I love it.

it's giving AI generated responses to user input. If they wrapped it in Dr ChatGPT and claimed it was a licensed therapist THAT could be illegal. Not sure why you'd think it would be illegal given it's NOT that. A little weird of you.

Yeah and you end up with gems of absolute stupidity like civil asset forfeiture. That and how eminent domain have been abused, the sickly complex income tax code are things the founding fathers didn't want for us. They protected us from them and in 250 years of wonderful erosion lawmakers have committed treason against the constitution under one guise or another. Creating powers that WILL always be abused without exception.

just because you had a legal purpose to take aerial photos doesn't make any way you might use those photos legal.

If "Lumen" is the same as "Quantum", then since I was forced to drop my slow-but-rock-solid DSL for the quantum "upgrade" a year ago, it's been neither "stable"
  nor "reliable." (And a double fuck-you for blocking *INCOMING* 25. WTF is that all about?)

And the hits just keep on comin'

We don't want muffins, no toast, buns, baps, baguettes or bagels, no croissants, no crumpets, no teacakes, no potato cakes and no hot cross buns! And definitely no smegging flapjacks!

Not sure when the last time you tried it was, but I just did a 24.04 server install two weeks ago. I was expecting to have just that problem when I did the initial setup on my workbench (currently lacking a hardwire after an incident with the puppy), but it supported my USB wifi dongle OOTB.

Re: UAVs in my airspace are allowed
Dear Amazon, I am (your name here) and I reside at (your address here). The airspace from ground level to 400 feet above ground level at this property is under my control as per FAA regulations and I would like to allow you to use my airspace to perform anti-gavron operations as you see fit to ensure that your deluxe drone delivery service remains available so that I and other fun loving futurists can enjoy getting things in under 30 minutes after ordering while gavron and their grumpy like shake fists at the sky.

Accordingly I am requesting you use my airspace as a hub for any drone deliveries with in a 50 mile radius and will even provide a landing/recharging pad on my roof for free access to prime membership. This is effective immediately upon your receipt of this notice.
Best wishes

Because they are about to lose everything if so lol

Has Heroic made it possible to paste a password into the store login yet? Last time I tried it on my Deck, a couple months back, it was a non-starter, since I couldn't be arsed to transcribe the 32-character random string from Bitwarden on the on-screen keyboard.

There was a github issue open for a while, but it seemed to be being ignored.
