@bender Yes! You guys have this thing called a "5th wheeler" 🤣 We (Aussies) just don't normally have big enough trucks to drag those "House on wheels" though 😅
Discover the OPUS OP4 TLX: The Perfect off-road Camper for Families Kind of thinking about this now hmmm 🤔
This is it, boys and girls! The year of the Linux Desktop is this! I can smell it! :-D
For the first time, Linux has officially broken the 5% desktop market share barrier in the United States of America! It's a huge milestone for open-source and our fantastic Linux community.
I meant, the first line is the only one on the blockquote.
@prologic well, the ones down there (on your list) are pretty minimal, basic even. Yet, their pricing is super high (number wise, haven't checked the equivalent from AUD to USD).
@bender are they really though when you factor in the weaker AUD? 🧐
Those campers are so expensive! For comparison: https://www.rvtrader.com/Orlando/rvs-for-sale?city=orlando&state=Florida%7CFL
Been spending a lot of time researching campers as I want to / plan to upgrade our current Camper Trailoer (forward fold) Stoney Creek XL-FF6 to a slightly larger Hybrid Camper/Caravan with ensuite, internal kitchenette, external full hitchen, pop-top roof and twin bunks.
This is the summary and whittling down of my research so far: https://wiki.mills.io/s/1103bc9c-dd75-4a98-b64b-8dadc5b0e51f/doc/comparision-Ln03Moiibq
@lyse which browser do you use? Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, under Ubuntu, all show it fine.
@kat I dislike him big time. It was a sad day when Tumblr felt on his hands.
@movq This is a really good example of "simplicity" but achieves the intent and goals 👌
(Now, I don’t know if your screen reader can work with this. Let me know if it doesn’t.)
I don't use a screen reader fortunately (actually they're pretty garbage). So all good 👍 (I juse use full-screen zoom).
For example, I reckon software should treat stdout and stderr with care and never output logs or other such garbage to stdout that cannot possibly be useful in a UNIX pipeline 😅
@movq Yeah that's why I'm striking this conversation with you 😅 Not only do I respect your opinion quite highly 🤣 But like you say (and I've read their philipshpy) it can be a bit "elitism" for sure. I'm genuinely interested in what we think of as software that "doesn't suck". Tb be honest I haven't really put thought to paper myself, but I reckon if I did, I'd have some opinions/ideas...
@movq So you wouldn;t consider things written in Go to be "suckless"-esque? 🤔
@eldersnake Yeah well when you put it like that 🤣
@movq Curious what you would define as "suck less" software? (language agnostic of course!)
@eldersnake Yeah for sure! The thing that annoys me about a lot of this, is the sheer fact you can't really self-host let alone self-train these things I've been playing around with AI at home over the past few months and building my own neural networks from scratch (in Go) with genetic algorithms on a few tasks and training sets, but man it's hard™ 🤣 I feel like we're doing something wrong here...
@eldersnake This was an interesting read for sure! 👍 I don't think it had anything I hadn't already considered in terms of the ethical/moral points of view. I'm not sure where I stand myself either to be honest. I've forced myself to get familiar with the ecosystem and tooling, because in my line of work as a tech lead (staff engineer in sre) you don't want to be that one guy that ya know 😉 Ethically/Morally though, I'm definitely with the sentiment of this post 😅 Much like the whole Crypto hype yaers back (if y'all remember?!) this is also one of the most energy hungry pieces of "tech" (if you can call it that?) in a while. Then there's these other issues "stealing people's work", "reliance is causing humans to become cognitively weak and neural connections to shrink", to name a few...
How you can tell a "review post" on some random website was written by AI?
Ergonomically nicer than its binocular counterpart
How exactly is this a reason to avoid?! 🤦♂️
@movq Because we keep fucking with the planet's environment and climate patterns? 🤔
We're feeling some pretty intense winds up here in Brisbane too right on the outer edge which are exceeding 100 km an hour winds 🤣
Feeling a bit bad for the folks and Coffs Harbor and on the coast of Sydney right now 🤯 
@prologic I like the last two, on the first three you sent. I looked up "Canarvon Gorge", and read more about it. Thanks for introducing me to it!
As promised, here's some photos of love you!! camping trip to Canarcon George in QLD, Australia. 
@movq We did indeed! 😅 I'll share photos soon™ 🔜 Was completely "off-grid", no connectivity to anything anywhere 🤣
@lyse such a beautiful goooooooat! <3 Those eye, and the ear I would love to pet... Nice click, mate!
Anyone that the Pigs don't like sure is the perfect candidate. Without fail.
About ChatGPT rotting people's brains, similarly could be said about search engines, and reference books. Oh, also doom scrolling, and mobile devices, and the Internet... :-P
@movq Is this much different to Go's error handling as values though really? 🧐🤣😈
Now I could. A few minutes ago I posted one, and it went to the void. I can’t delete, though. I get a lovely 403.
@bender Ahh I see hmmm I don't know this either 🤣
@prologic no, good man. Follow the link, follow eet! :-)
