  • Does nobody use info?

    So much more in depth than any manpage.

    Granted it doesn’t contain every app installed, but it gives very detailed and very verbose explanations, examplea, options, use cases, caveats, warnings, etc, for all of the most essential commands and functions

    $ info
    

    In the program these are basic commands :

    -I # sets searching to always case insensitive -very necessary (upper case I)
    
    / # search for pattern
    
    n # search forward
    N # search back
    

    You can also search from command line using

    Info -k [pattern]
    






  • The greedy make the stupid do the things the stupid do.

    They could just as easily make the stupid happy.

    So, sure, we should make sure the greedy are executed immediately next time.

    (Would that make us evil?)

    There does need to be some immediate consequence to the willing act of wanting to make others suffer, whether directly , or by manipulating the minds of others.

    Evil doesn’t necessarily have to be religious, BTW:

    The concept of evil has been a theme of debate since the ancient Greek, where Plato argued that evil was a result of ignorance and Aristoteles saw morality as a guide for education and politics. Nietzsche claimed that evil was a dangerous concept that was created by the church, while Hannah Arendt underlined the banality of evil by highlighting “thoughtlessness” that frequently justify evil acts. From a neurobiological perspective, studies assessing individuals with neuro-psychiatric conditions associated with evil-related behavioral abnormalities have been suggesting a potential role of frontal and limbic structures, as well as of the serotonergic system. However, several of these studies assessed presumed correlates of evil, such as antisocial personality disorder or impulsive-aggressive behavior.

  • Fair.

    But, nvidia (the largest by weight/volume/value on each of the indexes) would be almost nothing without the ai hype, and the loss of Chinese contracts will see it plunge regardless of a bubble.

    Google, ms, and apple have added nothing of worth to their products while pumping billions to their ai surveillance bots.

    All told, the value of the indexes will plummet like Wile E. Coyote when cartoon reality kicks in.

    The bottom, however, will hit much harder than he ever felt.












  • Just set up a windows *spits rig for a family member because old. My god the insanity of it all. From untoggling shit to stop ms *spits from spying and toggling other shit to stop ms *spits from spying, and dealing with uefi settings to get it to a level of security without allowing ms *spits to lock it down cost me a full day.

    Then I had to deal with the ridiculousness that is their permission system to let them browse their own files from a different hard drive.

    I love that it also sets up the first user as a full admin and I had to create another account and lock down all the stupid crap that would allow them to destroy everything.

    Just the initial booting was longer than it would have taken me to install and fully set up the mint distro I had ready to install on my USB stick (for the use case they’d be using)

    I was going to set up a server so they could access stuff and watch free stuff on their TV with the old PC, but that will have to wait for another visit.

    Even I was astounded at the length of time it took. I was expecting stupidity but ms *spits has taken it way too far.

    (I did install without any account at all though, and did manage to get full GUI desktop environment Ubuntu running in wsl though, so that was fun - for me)
