Well! My wife is Dutch and she bought me a pair of Dutch HappySocks™ with stripes a few birthdays ago.

I suppose I’m not that much of a pariah after all!

I used to play ice hockey as a preteen/teen, so I’ve worn 'em in that context.

As far as the fem-boy/“girly” ones, I’m just not into it. Any socks above mid-achilles tendon make me itch. I have hairy legs.

I’ve reached the acceptance stage of possibly being a pariah in the community for not wanting to wear the socks.

I’m also a cis-gendered heterosexual married male, so I guess that tracks.

“Dumb” is the new “smart”.

UnDeshittification

Makes more sense to me if the prefix “en” is used in “enshittification”.

STATIC TYPING FTW. FIGHT ME, YOU BITCH-MADE INVERTEBRATES.

They get dopamine hits when their no_u.exe or no_u.dmg start-up applications run.

Tor my valds harder, Senpai!

I use Kubuntu LTS. Went with --minimal-install. No snap to worry about from the get-go.

I first started my GNU-Linux journey on a RasPi 2 Model B+. I too remember having to startx!

They forgot sudo. Also, why not throw in a -v flag to see your dreams die in real time!

Pff. Peasantry.

Zed and Helix ftw.

I, uh, use Kubuntu LTS (--minimal-install, so no snap).

Are *buntu flavors risky for my workstation? Should I be considering Fedora?

I think SpaceX is profitable too.

Sure.

Once for 7 Pro. Still running the same license all these years later.

Also, I use Kubuntu, but I go with minimal install to avoid snap fuckery, btw.

K8s clusters, probably.

Is there any public record of anyone actually buying that tripe?

I make DNNs (deep neural networks), the current trend in artificial intelligence modeling, for a living.

Much of my ancillary work consists of deflating/tempering the C-suite’s hype and expectations of what “AI” solutions can solve or completely automate.

DNN algorithms can be powerful tools and muses in scientific endeavors, engineering, creativity and innovation. They aren’t full replacements for the power of the human mind.

I can safely say that many, if not most, of my peers in DNN programming and data science are humble in our approach to developing these systems for deployment.

If anything, studying this field has given me an even more profound respect for the billions of years of evolution required to display the power and subtleties of intelligence as we narrowly understand it in an anthropological, neuro-scientific, and/or historical framework(s).
