What if Paper Mario 64 was remade? Here's what I think it could be! Captaine Chocon created this model for their own project, and I asked to try to import it into TTYDS and this was the result! (No collision cause this is was just for fun!)

except, maybe, if someone exploits ACE in your next.js service to turn it into a Monero miner like that guy on hackernews recently. then you can conveniently get rid of the container and the rest of the system is ok. but if you use nix you can just provision the whole thing again

for 99% of use cases this statement applies to containers as a whole too

the quotes and replies are full of people saying "this is the *good* AI, not the bad AI". but this distinction doesn't work for the same reason you can't claim there are only two genders. because most stuff doesn't fit cleanly into any one category, and it misses other categories' entire existence.

Are we stuck with the same Desktop UX forever? | Ubuntu Summit 25.10 YouTube video by Canonical Ubuntu

My Ubuntu Summit talk is up! Where I talk about:
1. How Desktop UX is effectively dead
2. Why I hate the term UX/UI with the heat of 1000 suns
3. How OSS can actually innovate in #ux

all the way down to 'thank you to the trees for giving us oxygen' - where do you stop? i'd actually go crazy with love for everything if i started thinking about it deeply enough and that's a bit scary. life is cool, treasure it guys

when writing my thesis, I had to stop writing the acknowledgements because it became way too long and irrelevant. it was like writing down all the butterfly effect inputs that led to me writing that paper

as soon as I start trying to think of ways to thank people in my life it's a bit overwhelming, there are too many things to say and maybe it would come across as a bit much
