i have decided to not cater for AMD64 kit before haswell (2013) and excavator (2015).

i think that's a reasonable back support lifespan for new software.

Europe is still under a heat dome. My 76 yo mom is visiting but alone in an appartement. The last couple of nights she was not ok and called me for help. I told her everything I knew and used the advice of a couple of threads here. That might have saved her life. Thank you for making them @Remittancegirl and @_L1vY_
Here are the threads in case it helps someone else.

Mastodon web UI specific tip: Did you know that if you want to favorite/boost/reply to a post you have the URL for, you can paste it into the search box, and use that to interact with it

One of the most essential things to know that not enough people do if using the web UI

On its face there's nothing wrong with the idea that the world could use a little more positivity. It's just anyone who goes out their way to make that point almost always has just dog shit politics.

The second Rainn Wilson announced that dumb-ass positivity book I just knew he was *that* kinda person. Now he's going around saying The Office couldn't be made today because of woke.

Jesus fucking Christ shut the fuck up.

I kind of love the anti-data centre movement

We never got to vote on whether AI got shoved down our collective throats

The extractive class decided that for us, and the disappointing centrists in government obeyed

But if your local city council is discussing it or something, this is one of the few places where regular people can actually throw some sand in the gears of industry that are crushing us all

Dang. If I wasn't already gainfully employed and if I lived in Germany, I'd be all over applying for this. Seems like a dream job -- I bet somebody in my network would be great for this, though. STA is doing the Lord's work; I hope they find someone great.

So to summarize, AI will cause personal computers to cost ten thousand dollars, all applications will forever be frozen to about 2025 design and implementation (because that’s what vibe coding outputs), power to run the computer will be twice the price and also you need to sign in with your passport to start your computer in the first place.

Explain to me again how this is progress?
