This right here is why I consider Ubuntu the "microsoft of Linux"
Ubuntu is a terrible excuse for a server OS, and ads have no place in tools like apt. Literally taking an upstream tool from Debian and adding ads to it.

Regardless of any amount of insistence to the contrary, is becoming enshittified. They just have a little bit of self-awareness -- that's the only reason why it isn't more extreme.

I quite like the shiny metal and black combo on watches it seems. I just switched over from the one on the right to the one on the left and while they are very different watches there are also some similarities. 😉

Silver tone analog style watch with a black, backwards running face and a black leather strap with white stitching.

In light of the Creative Commons deciding that AI scraping/training is "fair use" I think I'm going to just repost @Jess_Alter's post on this:
https://ko-fi.com/post/LLMs-and-the-Theft-of-Intellectual-Property-C0C0UOKT8

I think it covers it.
Especially when you look at the fields of writing and art being clearcut right now by AI-wielding corps.

Rather than having our back, Creative Commons is siding with the likes of Disney, Meta, and Google.

I just typed "2004" instead of "2024" on a web form.

Oh gee.

@amin, I regret to inform you that you have been reverted to a baby.

The decades, they just slip by me, I tells ya.

Today's #blogpost is quite a #nostalgic one. Do you remember your first experience with #emulation? I do, and here's the story!

Fun read!

I can't remember my first experience with emulation, but I remember hearing about software for early macs that would let you run DOS without any extra hardware, and that sounded like total magic to me.

My first emulator was probably something like NESticle, but I can't remember.
