Kessler syndrome seems increasingly inevitable as we potentially approach some of the great filters that explain why we’ve never met or detected any other civilizations in the universe. It’s been a fun ride, folks, but it seems like we might not have threaded this particular needle, finding it was ultimately narrower and our thread thicker and clumsier than we expected and we might instead be reaching the end of the road on our multiplanetary ambitions. Will we get to Mars? Maybe. Will we survive and thrive there? Doubtful.

Solution to the environmental crisis: destroy all humans. Pax americana was a big environmental mistake, it reduced our biggest predator in the ecosystem: ourselves. mostly /s

Banker Daddy serves corporate elites? You don’t say? If anyone thinks this feels a little bit “Conservative” from our “Liberal” premier: the overton window sends its regards. Doesn’t matter if you refuse to elect a right-wing conservative when you’ve only got two parties and they’re both right-wing conservatives.

Get ready to ride the orange wave into the future, or next time it will get even worse.

Enjoy all your new Chinese and Russian multimillionaire citizens! I’m sure it won’t cause any trouble. These are the kinds of immigrants you want now, right? The ones who have proven themselves hardworking, successful capitalists, idolize your culture and goals, and don’t ever do crime, skirt laws, or act against your interests? /s

Canada sends their regards. We fight fascism here, we don’t drink it.

You mean a bunch of advertising and media companies that control and gatekeep the news are hyping something that’s making them trillions of dollars? That seems… so unbelievable!

Russia can’t steal it, if we steal it first!

Just keep bringing in more grand juries against her until you either get an indictment or she dies, either way she’s tied up for life.

It’s a DDoJ. Distributed-denial-of-justice.

Taking from Bezos to give to the poor? She’s not a billionaire, she’s the female Robin Hood.

I have never wanted to see an OSHA safety violation leading to mass death as much as I have when looking at that picture.

Please drop all billionaires from the stratosphere without a parachute, thx.

100% completion is not required, but you’ll share whatever progress you have made.

Granted, that still underestimates my ability to make actual progress. “Hooray, it’s now twice as complicated and actually worse!”

The liberals are the friendly-face nanny-state fascists, the conservatives are the scary-face anti-everything fascists, they’re two sides of the same coin. They’re both starting to swing fascist authoritarian, don’t be deceived because they wear different costumes.

The same direction? … and which direction is that?

…please tell me it’s not AI… please tell me it’s not AI… please tell me it’s not AI…

<reads article> OF COURSE it’s AI

Well… I guess MAYBE some of it might not be AI…

The upside of content creators and influencers like Mr. Beast is that they have built massive audiences based on manipulative brainrot. The downside is that brainrot audiences are already brainrotted in a way that makes them almost immune to further marketing, which is itself manipulative brainrot, the proto-brainrot if you will. All the brainrot value has been squeezed out of them already. There’s nothing left to squeeze, and they cannot be manipulated any further. Imagine trying to market beer or something, to a vegetable of a person who’s already just sitting in their chair drooling at the screen. Like sure, of course they want the beer, but how are you going to convince them to get up out of their chair to get it?

The wizard desperately shouts, “PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!”

I recommend Librewolf, it’s a lot more privacy-aggressive out of the box, and you can turn that down a little bit if you need, but otherwise it’s just a more trustworthy Firefox fork as far as I’m concerned. It supports Firefox sync as well (which is telling, because Librewolf takes privacy very seriously and isn’t going to provide too many easy opportunities for you to completely compromise it) Like the other person said sync is E2EE and the hosting server has zero-knowledge of any of your unencrypted data. If Librewolf trusts it, I trust it, and I think you can rest assured that with Librewolf, it’s probably never going to be sabotaged either, which as you imply, is not necessarily true with Firefox.

I don’t recall whether they use Firefox’s sync server directly or if they have their own, but either way, like I said, the server has no knowledge of or access to your unencrypted data.

I’m not a super-expert but I suspect it’s probably still holding open the stdin and stdout file descriptors of the parent process. Try using &> /dev/null to throw them away and see if that helps. You could also try adding nohup in front of the npx, which does some weird re-parenting jazz to prevent the child process (npx) from actually being attached to the parent process so that it doesn’t get auto-closed when the parent exits, which is kind of the opposite of your problem, but it might also help in this case.

Another possible option is using systemd-run --user <command> which effectively should make it into sytemd’s problem

First he came for the Gulf of Mexico, and I did not cry out, because I was not Mexico. Then he came for the Department of Defense, and I did not cry out, because I did not need defense. Then he came for the football, and … HOLY SHIT that’s a lot of angry football fans!

She’s probably right honestly. When in rome, do as the romans do, even if rome is burning and all they’re doing is standing around playing music while it does.

OK, so, I’m warning you, the rest of this comment is going to descend into darkly cynical, the sky is falling, the world is ending pessimistic ranting. Take it or leave it, I don’t care, I need to vent how I feel about the shitty fucking state of the world for the working class right now.

So listen, AI is a technology designed by companies like Google and Apple that despite allegedly selling technology and software have in reality become gigantic advertising and marketing companies. They designed these AI for many purposes but chief among them is that they want it to do the most important thing any advertising and marketing can do which is convince you of things whether they are true or false, and the first thing they want to do is convince you AI itself is useful whether that is true or false.

And the kicker is, not only did it do a spectacularly good job at convincing people of that already, it IS actually useful… at exactly what they designed it to do, which is convince people of things whether they are true or false. AI is genuinely fucking great at it. Often too good.

If you want to use AI to convince people of things, fucking go for it. Making a resume is all about selling yourself and convincing people you’re worth hiring. Most companies are already using AI for this on their own side, and that should tell you something significant right there, they don’t give a shit about you. But don’t worry about that, AI is good at convincing itself of things too, and once you’re through the AI filters, at least some of the feeble meatbag HR brains you will be attacking with it will stand no more chance than they do against the tech giants. And just like they do, it enables you to use quantity over quality. Just fucking AI spam you sloppy resume everywhere you can. Spam dozens of copies of it, who gives a shit, companies don’t give a shit, they’ve told us they’re all “AI first” anyway. Good sensible companies are so few and far between, and usually they don’t even pay as well as the fucking idiot garbage fire companies. For every competent HR person at a good sensible company who quite rightfully rejects your shitty resume, there’s some garbage fire who can be suckered into assigning your warm body to some useless task if you just happen to bullseye right through the eye of their needle, and you just brute force that shit by throwing so many resumes at the problem that one of them is bound to go in through sheer statistics alone. And then next time you (or AI) writes your resume, you’ll have “experience” to put on it, and being such a shitbag makes you feel bad, maybe with a bit more experience you’ll eventually find your way to a good sensible company eventually (provided you find the idea of not having to be such a shitbag appealing and willing to take the pay cut that non-shitbags are required to suffer)

If you want to use AI to get actual work done, or learn something real, you’re playing russian roulette and probably wasting your time with AI in the long run. It may accidentally be useful from time to time, and when it’s the company’s time you’re wasting who gives a shit (they clearly don’t) but it’s going to struggle to keep up with real needs. But for convincing people of things? It’s really pretty remarkable how good it is. Might as well take advantage of it. Use the tool for the job it’s designed for. A screwdriver’s a good tool for putting screws into things, but it’s not a very good hammer and it’s a fucking awful table saw.
