Let me give you an example that can help answer your question.

I, a shitbag “entrepreneur”, find and open source project I like that does 95% of what I want. I proceed to feed the code, design docs, and anything else I can find from the project to an AI. I then ask the AI to write the application from scratch using what I fed it as “inspiration”, and add the 5% functionality I want. Now, let’s say the AI gets it pretty close to working. Close enough that I can hire a dev to clean it up and get it going.

At the moment, that project is not covered by the open source license since the original code is gone and I used my own resources to “develop” it. I state “at the moment” because there is much debate around this.

'Our commitment is America First for all Americans, right, left, and center,’

That’s how much money Meta still makes. It should be one of the most profitable companies on the planet but Zuckerbot keeps setting its cash on fire over the stupidest ideas.

…why do they need a two seater.

Perfect to lay about and watch TV.

You upgrade?

Was Elvira, Mistress of the Dark the first “make fun of b-movies” TV show? I’m 53 and I remember watching her show and the hilariously awful horror films as a tweener.

I am pretty sure I started with either Halloween or Mother’s Day because Red Hat Linux for Dummies came with Red Hat 2.1 which I am pretty sure came out in 96 or 97. I know Red Hat 6 was released in 1999, because I was neck deep in Y2K work at the time I installed it on my Compaq laptop.

That is strange.

I have been on this Linux jam since 1996 with a CD copy of Red Hat that came with a magazine (Byte, maybe?). In 2018 I made the jump to Debian based distros specifically because I got tired of the surprises. Now my lab runs LMDE. The only thing more stable and boring is Debian Stable itself.

Like you said, I want to focus on my projects, not have the OS be my project.

Without the Farmer says See N Say we’d never have this great Soundgarden intro.

I refuse to believe this is real.

This is the saddest “lost in translation” incident I have ever heard of. Unless I am mistaken, they misunderstood a statement from Spain’s president to mean that immigrants that arrived by sea instead of land would be allowed to stay.

What a dumb move. All this does is discourage me from getting another BMW when my lease is up.

…acknowledging their allegations against David “Davey” Hearn don’t hold water.

2025 model year

What models? I have an i4 and I have never been hit with this or those subscription services everyone kept talking about. I wonder if it is happening only in certain models.

I cannot comment on that but anecdotally I can say that I normally do not see a lot hiring during the holidays and a lot of firings in March and Q2. I have no explanation for the March thing.

I thought they were talking about Kashi , the plant based food company, and I was so confused.

This hurts me deeply.
