No. In interpreted languages that is kinda true, in compiled languages that is definitely false.

The code is a simplification. It has a direct relationship to what actually happens, yes, but most often glosses over the details (even in C and other very low level languages)

Pretty sure the same soda from cans vs bottles rarely has the same formula. Specifically Coca-Cola, it tastes way different !

Amazing to see Mastodon instead of Bluesky there ! Too many people falling for the Bluesky trap…

As a Computer Scientist, I increasingly believe this tech might actually be poison for the human mind, and I’m not sure what to do about it.

I want to believe we can make it actually useful. But I don’t know if that’s possible or not.

Of course I use SecureBoot, if you know how to set it up it has no inconvenients ! But that doesn’t go all the way up to the apps !

I have no idea what life was like before systemd so while I like it I have no way to compare

I was enthusiastic about LadyBird until I learnt that the guy leading the project i s a white supremacist, via pivot-to-ai.

Now I hope either someone else takes it over, or that it crashes and burns.

You know what ? If this law is only imposed on commercial operating systems, and I can make my free OS lie and say I’m 100+ ; then maybe this could work.

The option of having a full auth trust chain would be nice for some security applications, but the implication that it could be made compulsory is terrifying.

Eurgh ! This is just INFESTED with horrible AI writing clichés. All the “it’s not X — it’s Y” and the extraneous lists, the absolute abuse of putting titles everywhere.

What a MESS of an article, all just to say something that should have been patently obvious to anyone who is not a brain-poisoned moron.

Don’t let AI turn you into this. Take a stance, stay human.

My budget has been “don’t spend too much” for the last 10 years and it’s worked out wonderfully. You don’t need a clever laid out plan, you just need to ask yourself “how can I spend even less ?”

Cancel every subscription immediately unless you actually need it. Pirate everything. Get everything on sale or thrift it. Either buy the cheapest thing you can, or spend enough to buy the indestructible version you’ll keep for 15-20 years. Fix problems immediately for cheap before they get expensive.

As a result I’m still managing to save up money while my income is under 10K a year.

Do you really think that will survive ? It’s next on the chopping block with GrapheneOS if they keep going this way.

Humans may not be obligate herbivores ; nonetheless eating meat invariably hurts us in the short and long term.

Meet is like alcohol, you can get your calories from booze ; but why would you inflict that upon yourself ?

Eating meat is only deleterious. You may be able to stave off the visible consequences for a while, but make no mistake, it is eating you from the inside.

We were not meant to feed upon murder.

Proof ? Vegans are the only human group to be consistently healthy and long lived. We are exempt from many illnesses considered nigh-inevitable, even when genetically predisposed.

🤣

I have an extremely simple solution for this made-up problem : Just don’t eat meat 🤷🏻‍♀️

What are you, a tiger ? No ? Then why do you put yourself through this, when it only makes you sicker the more you do it ?

Cool beans, unfortunately GrayJay doesn’t fucking work at all, no matter what I try and on which device.

So I gave up. I use the YouTube website via IronFox on mobile, and LibreWolf on computers ; with lots of extensions to de-bloat it.

If this happens, I guess it’s Linux Phone time for me… I’m pretty certain GrapheneOS will be able to get around this abuse of power for a while, but it wouldn’t take much effort from Google to kill them too ; they almost already have…

Or maybe dumb phone time ? But I like browsing Wikipedia and playing chess and RetroArch on my phone, I don’t want to lose that just because big G$ said so…

No. Fuck the KOSA, it’s the equivalent of burning down your house to get rid of a cockroach infestation.

Meta should be liable for their algorithm, no more, no less.

So compass and straight edge is Turing complete ? Amazing !
