They’ve been actually listening to conversations for years, what is new is that an LLM is going to report about it to the user… which is quite ironic if you ask me.

Imagine breaking up with the one you love only to have your watch remind you about it later… pathetic

Lars Ulrich of Metallica is I think the most hated metal musician today, with the Napster case and his recent performances which are way too snare-heavy if you ask me (some would use the word “lazy”).

But the large majority of the metal scene acts as if he was the worst drummer ever, which is obviously not the case. If you go and listen to Metallica’s 80s and early 90s stuff, including bootlegs of live performances, this drummer is more than capable, but he also invented a lot of fills and patterns that came to be used prominently by others, like Mike Portnoy.

So I’m not saying this in defense of the guy - don’t know him personally - but that’s a blatant case of people not listening with their ears if you ask me…

It is not only true of the US in 2026, but it is also a rule for too many human beings, to begin to care only when shit is hitting their fan.

If I’m getting things straight (pun intended), this guy is telling us thinking about someone else’s pleasure is gay.

More gay people please!

In my experience reading is much more efficient than watching/interacting with a screen. It doesn’t need to be something thought provoking, might even be some comics if it suits you more. But written words have power because you make your own rendition in your mind.

I remember getting my Nokia 8210, one of the smallest phones ever, you didn’t need to buy a bag or bring a jacket just to carry the phone around… Incredible concept

As a huge Metallica fan myself I’d say the Black Album has more to its sound than it has to its songwriting, which is not a bad thing in itself but still a strong departure, even more so after an album like …And Justice for All. I still really enjoy it though.

Soundgarden’s career is a bit convoluted, but Badmotorfinger is my absolute favourite, the guitar sounds in there are absolutely gorgeous and the songwriting has something of this early 90s, hardboiled, Helmet-style grit that I’ve been digging, more particularly on songs like Slaves & Bulldozers or Mind Riot.

Also thank you for mentioning Fear Factory, this band never get enough credit and their first album is a classic

Three months ago, I quit my job as a derivatives analyst to study janitorial science.

My mother cried. My father sent me a Wikipedia article about “sunk cost fallacy.” My college roommate texted a single question mark.

I didn’t respond to any of them.

I enrolled in the Custodial Arts Certificate Program at a community college in Fresno, where my instructor, a former competitive speed-mopper named Gerald, told me on day one: “The mop doesn’t lie to you. The spreadsheet does.”

Gerald has mopped the floors of three Olympic venues and one papal visit. He speaks about grout lines the way Yo-Yo Ma talks about Bach.

I am currently failing the Stain Identification module.

But here’s what I know: Diogenes of Sinope lived in a barrel and considered it a complete life. He told Alexander the Great to get out of his sunlight. That’s the energy I’m bringing to my squeegee certification.

My LinkedIn connections have dropped by forty percent.

Worth it.

The floors aren’t going to clean themselves. And apparently, neither am I.

Still studying. Still mopping. Still here.

The first distro I used was SuSE (yes, before there was “Open” in the name 😅) on a Pentium III

I spent many years on Arch, but it don’t think it’s the distro I used the most any longer…

The distro I am using now is Fedora Workstation, which has been my daily driver for a dozen years now, and it’s also my favorite distro.

The distro I’ll be using in the future may be Silverblue

The distro I hate the most… is Ubuntu 😆 I had so many troubles over the years with this one, there was always something nonfunctional

My honorable mention: CachyOS looks pretty nice 😉

As for all the distros I tried… there’s way too many 😅

Too bad Epic is kept alive by children buying skins and silly dances who aren’t old enough to care about how sick that company has become

Doesn’t seem to be plagued by the same limitations as mine… The problem must be somewhere else

SEGA Megadrive

What motherboard is it? I had problems with a 4-stick ddr4 configuration recently and found out the mobo didn’t have the same specs on all 4 slots 😅
