"How badly do I need to poop? "

A novel application of Binary Space Partitioning

This is a strange thing to do, tell people you have a diarrhea fetish.

Microsoft:

Fully automating supply chain attacks since (at least) 2026.

You should check out the radio stations from Streets of Sim City, for a more thorough blast from the past.

They actually did the whole ‘in universe nonsense/gag advertisements’ thing before GTA did.

Also just goddamn, that bass riff on the title screen.

Here, allow me to articulate some reticulations for you.

… Are you aware of any study or perhaps graphic or map based on a studies that… actually tries to model the effects of an AMOC shutdown?

Or maybe ‘signifcant weakening’ or ‘decoherence’ would be a more accurate way to out it?

Because I loosely keep up with Paul Beckwith’s roughly weekly videos and uh… the SMOC ain’t doin so great, and like, currently, and in the last month or two… well, the artctic polar vortex has … more or less been destabilizing… to a rather extreme amount…

We used all the easy to use fuel.

Any civilization that comes after us, human or not, will have a much tougher time sustaining a technological society capable of spaceflight.

We also might cause Kessler syndrome, which may also be fairly problematic for a future wannabe spacefaring society.

Our own current society, even if it wasn’t as unstable as it is, well, its literally burning through all the good stuff, which creates an inescapable problem of energy just getting more and more expensive over time, unless you manage to use the ‘buff’ from carbon based fuel sources to actually develop a civilization that can keep working once all thats left is too expensive to access.

If you don’t clear that hurdle, and/or blow yourselvs up in the process… whatever comes afterward has relics of advanced manufacturing processes, and has a very, very hard time getting all the links in those chains to work again.

This applies to things beyond oil… they’re called non-renewable resources for a reason.

No, that’s an articulated mandible that makes that noise.

Ahem.

Whatever doesn’t kill you, simply makes you…

… stranger.

The Arthropod timeline used to regularly check in on the Vertebrate timeline, but it just got to be too ridiculous.

Personally, I’m excited to see what kind of biomes end up emerging on a melting/melted Antartica.

Well ok, even I’m not pessimistic enough to think I’ll live to see that, in a way that its dramatically different than it is now, but hey, its like uh… a subbranch of speculative evolution, sorta.

Maybe in a 100-200 years we have enough glacial loss and icemelt that West Antarctica might have parts where actual soil is regularly facing the sun.

I think this is a ‘what if all the ice was gone’ map:

Why would anyone want root kernel access to a PC?

Oh, uh, to be able to read anything on the entire PC, also be able to interdict and then modify literally any ongoing process or command.

… Palantir is very very hungry for data, after all.

And you can make money, if you sell it to them.

Its ok.

Let the script kiddies squeal and squirrel about.

The elder ones … they were there when the code was written.

Well… the .gov domains are currently run by an orange god emperor… so… pretty close.

The wild thing is I’m only in my 30s, I’m probably a youngin’, compared to you, I just was around a good deal of old timers, real fuckin’ wizard types.

Also, just a plethora of potential Dennis the Menace jokes.

I too am going to call DNS ‘Dennis’ from now on, lol.

Yeah I’ve had some discussions over time with the whole SQL vs Sequel thing, and what I realized was that…

Well basically, I learned ‘Sequel’ from a bunch of old timers in the Seattle area.

The kind of people who had been writing COBOL since they got back from Vietnam, people who’d actually worked at IBM, still acted like Microsoft was an ‘upstart’, people who’d just offhand tell me about the one time they got ‘deployed’ to Saudi Arabia to flash a compromised BIOS onto hardware destined to be used in Saddam’s air defense network, prior to the Gulf War.

So, they actually literally were there back when SEQUEL was invented.

SQL is pronounced ‘Sequel’ because it was originaly SEQUEL.

SQL was initially developed at IBM by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce after learning about the relational model from Edgar F. Codd[12] in the early 1970s.[13] This version, initially called SEQUEL (Structured English Query Language), was designed to manipulate and retrieve data stored in IBM’s original quasirelational database management system, System R, which a group at IBM San Jose Research Laboratory had developed during the 1970s.[13]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL

It then later evolved, and changed from being an acronym into an initialism, kind of, sort of, mostly for people who are unaware of the etymology.

‘Sequel’ is quite literally the tradtional way to pronounce it.

… would not have expected such a dick move from a great tit.

Nope. Wrong.

Its not a pre bundled flatpak, that runs on top of the core, atomic OS.

Its part of the core, atomic OS, an integral part of it, installed as an rpm package at basically a lower level.

According to the github page for Bazaar (which I may not be fully understanding correctly), it seems like Bazaar is designed for GNOME primarily, and then there is essentially a seperate thing, basically a kind of plugin or sort of like a patch, that is layered over top of the main Bazaar, which enables it to work with/in KDE.

Bazaar proper:

https://github.com/kolunmi/bazaar

Bazaar is fast and highly multi-threaded, guaranteeing a smooth experience in the user interface. You can queue as many downloads as you wish and run them while perusing Flathub’s latest releases. This is due to the UI being completely decoupled from all backend operations.

It runs as a service, meaning state will be maintained even if you close all windows, and implements the gnome-shell search provider dbus interface. A krunner plugin is available for use on the KDE Plasma desktop.

The krunner plugin:

https://github.com/ublue-os/krunner-bazaar

A KRunner plugin for searching and installing Flatpak applications through the Bazaar store.

Sorry, I’m not a fequent KDE user, I may be misunderstanding something here.
