    If you know an Irishman who visited France for two weeks in July and who saved my life at the Piscine du Grand Parc, get us in touch. He&#39;ll remember as much as I do. They visited all the swimming pools in Bordeaux. Please boost and see if anyone is on Mastodon who can help. #Irish #Ireland

    Mastodon is the right place for me to say this. FOSS software usually comes out with documentation that assumes too much. I have installed FreeBSD and Linux and managed mail servers and all kinds of online stuff. But I brute force through it, where most people haven&#39;t the time to experiment. Error messages never give enough information, you have to go look at the line number, then figure out what happened. People don&#39;t have than kind of time! Say what&#39;s wrong AND how to fix it.

    RE: https://dair-community.social/@emilymbender/116967906745828691 I&#39;m reading this right now and I believe it to be the most important book on this topic ever published. I&#39;m reading it thanks to Libby and my library. I think you should try to gift to anyone who is worried about robots making us extinct. Anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of Magic (my personal substitute for AI) should read this. The authors have done a great service to us all by writing this thoughtful anal...

    Over thirty years of original music compositions are available at https://randulo.com for free listening or download. If you want to donate, do so for the Internet Archive. I did, and will again. It&#39;s an impostant record as history is being erased and rewritten. #Music #History #Internet

    This is absolutely crazy. Any person with a brain should see how serious this is, except those who want to live like this. &quot;Federal Government’s Growing Banned Words List Is Chilling Act of Censorship&quot; https://pen.org/banned-words-list/ h/t @DrALJONES@mastodon.social @petersuber@fediscience.org #penamerica EDIT: Used an online tool to convert full list.

    What would this part, jutting out of the exterior wall of a building be called?

    At first I though computers were evil, something man wasn&#39;t supposed to mess with. Then I bought a TRS-80 and programmed in BASIC and then Z80 assembly language. In a job, I graduated to DEC minicomputers, RT-11, RMS-11 and even had to do some Fortran. I did everything in C for the web. But now I think computers are evil again, when used for certain things that deplete resources and pollute the planet.

    Glad we straightened that out!

    What do we want? Universal health insurance that covers life-threatening diseases (cardio, cancer...) 100% and mostly all medical expenses for the rest. Basic income that would reduce crime committed, not for fun, but to feed a family Safe shelter for all. When do we want it? It&#39;s complicated.

    Apple&amp;#39;s planned obsolesence is infuriating. I have a perfectly good 13 year old Macbook Air, new SSD and battery. I&amp;#39;m wondering if it&amp;#39;s possible to install #Linux on it? Linux versions must be more tolerant of hardware, but I&amp;#39;m not sure it&amp;#39;s possible to install it. EDIT: I keep replying to share status (mute me if you must), but a big thanks to all of those who gave a shout, I&amp;#39;ve read each one and appreciate. But then, that&amp;#39;s Mastodon!

    I&amp;#39;m in no way an AI hater. It has some very good use cases. But in the commercial world, if you are promoting a product or service, the phrase &amp;quot;AI-powered&amp;quot; translates to &amp;quot;didn&amp;#39;t read the room&amp;quot;. The majority probably don&amp;#39;t see that as a plus? (I could be wrong!) Boost if you will to get coverage. The results will be interesting if enough people vote. EDIT: I should have said &amp;quot;hater or lover&amp;quot;. But the question was stri...
