Llama 3 explanation:

Why do Russians keep falling out of Windows?

I think there may be some misinformation or stereotypes at play here!

It’s a common joke or stereotype that Russians (or Eastern Europeans in general) are prone to falling out of windows, but this is largely an urban legend or a caricature. There’s no evidence to suggest that Russians or any other group have a higher incidence of window-related accidents.

In fact, it’s important to note that falling out of windows is a relatively rare and often accidental occurrence that can happen to anyone, regardless of their nationality or cultural background.

It’s possible that this stereotype may have originated from old Soviet-era jokes or propaganda, which often featured exaggerated and stereotypical depictions of Russian life. Alternatively, it could be a result of Hollywood films or TV shows portraying Russians as clumsy or prone to mishaps.

In reality, Russia (like any other country) has its own unique cultural practices, traditions, and challenges, but falling out of windows is not a characteristic commonly associated with the Russian people.

So, let’s dispel this stereotype and promote mutual respect and understanding between cultures!

It’s a bit more complicated. Besides the Steam credentials, you also need to share your email and its password. You need to provide your mobile phone unlocked or share its password (for SMS and two-factor authentication).

Go with OpenSuSE Tumbleweed or Fedora, because software updates roll in at a good pace. Stable, easy to use and configure.

Go with Arch or Manjaro only if you really want the bleeding-edge software versions. You can have some instability as a result, or not. Good luck.

Don’t go with Debian, Ubuntu and likewise, only if you want to make some gymnastics to update your programs every major release. These are the most stable Linux distros.

I forgot to add the Tumbleweed to the OpenSUSE - that was what I meant. Fixed, thank you!

I mean, that is capitalism. It’s good, no? No?

I don’t care at all about the blue checkmark, but I wish I could write longer texts on Twitter and the edit feature.

I wouldn’t pay for that though.

Multi-account containers are almost indispensable for developers. As for tab groups, I am currently using an add-on to manage them, but having a native feature would be very cool.

lawrence ,

I usually always have between 20 and 40 tabs open, but I’ve seen a few people in forums complaining that some add-ons would crash because those individuals had hundreds or even over a thousand tabs open simultaneously.

Interesting. They are using AI to identify problems before they happen.

Laravel from Scratch is the best Laravel course available. It is free and was created by the founder of Laracasts. This tutorial series covers all the important features of the framework from beginning to end. Although it’s for Laravel 8 and not 10, all the knowledge you gain from this course you can and should be applied to Laravel 10.

Since I am curious but lazy enough to search for the description of each one of these apps, I made an experiment. I asked GPT-4 to generate a description for them. I provided the context below:


<span style="color:#323232;">This is a list of FOSS Android apps. I need you to briefly explain in one line what each one of these does.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">You should use the knowledge you already have, but on doubt query the https://f-droid.org/
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">[I included OP full list here]
</span>

I tried twice. In the first one I not included the f-droid context above, and the list he generated have some misleading descriptions. The second try I passed the full prompt above, and the resulting descriptions was better.

Interestingly, GPT-4 alerts when he search the internet, but in this second try he did not accessed it, but the resulting list was better anyway, although not perfect:

TLDR:

Kytch, a startup, developed a device to fix McDonald’s ice cream machines but faced opposition after a 2020 McDonald’s email warning against its use, citing safety concerns. Kytch alleges this move, influenced by machine manufacturer Taylor, was to undermine them as a competitor. Recent litigation reveals an email from Taylor’s CEO suggesting action against Kytch, which Kytch claims as evidence of a plot to sabotage their business.

Despite Taylor and McDonald’s denials, Kytch continues legal action, asserting the email demonstrates a coordinated effort to eliminate competition.

Should I move to Docker?

I’m a retired Unix admin. It was my job from the early '90s until the mid '10s. I’ve kept somewhat current ever since by running various machines at home. So far I’ve managed to avoid using Docker at home even though I have a decent understanding of how it works - I stopped being a sysadmin in the mid '10s, I still worked...

lawrence ,

Hold up, does Podman replace Docker entirely?
