Hard to tell what you want but maybe /bin/ed . I use zile now and then fwiw.

For simple cutting I just use ffmpeg. It can do a few other effects too.

Burner phone still tracks the person everywhere. Yeah it’s hard. Too bad 1-way pagers are near extinct now.

Phone # seems like a scary thing to collect. Also, visiting the web site reveals an IP address, maybe not good. Wonder if there’s a more anonymous way to get the alerts out, like if some larger sites sent out alert geolocations along with regular web pages.

Why were they collecting that info to begin with? Sounds like asking for trouble.

No it doesn’t, you want to be able to turn off JS while it is running, and that is now impossible. Noscript stops it from running in the first place and that breaks too many sites.

Pepperidge Farms remembers when Firefox had a control like that to turn JavaScript on and off. The rest of you are supposed to have forgotten. Oops.

In interstellar space there is no temperature differential for that solar cell scheme to work from. It only works when there is something that is heated by the sun part of the time, and radiates heat into space the rest of the time. Maybe the far (“dark”) side of the moon counts for that, but for a moon station you probably want batteries or RTG’s or whatever. I’m sure there are uses for this thing but they sound very niche. Radiating heat into space on hot nights on the other hand is quite interesting, as an alternative to air conditioning.

The thing about deep space is confusing. Where is it dark for long periods in deep space?

The linear city was doomed but better to replace it with a giant bowling alley or just about anything but a data center.

Look at his blog on stallman.org. It comes up all the time there.

He consistently describes LLMs as “bullshit generators” so the LLM being local doesn’t help that much. It’s better for privacy but that’s a separate matter.

LLMs

OMG. I’m shocked RMS let THAT happen.

Microslop is going to spend 2026 improving Windows 11.

Why bother? Just upgrade everyone to Windows 10.

retail price of $699, but it’s available for pre-order for $594

Lol, no.

I learned a new word yesterday, “sloperators”. Use a word 3 times and it’s yours…

Added: why do you say the new paid support tier isn’t AI-based too? Asking people to pay to talk to a chat bot seems par for the course.

Lookup “splog”.

There’s hardware that works under Linux, hardware that doesn’t work, and hardware that sort-of-works or is marginal. Lots of graphics cards are in the marginal or don’t-work category. I always try to avoid them. Maybe that’s not much help. If you’re on a desktop PC, your CPU is likely to have some graphics support of its own: can you bypass or pull out the graphics card? They are mostly for gaming. For normal desktop stuff you should be ok without it.

A dream of a Linux distribution where the entire desktop environment is Win32 software running under WINE.

Sounds like a nightmare to me. Why would anyone want that?
