Fuck you Sama and your shity AI company. You are stealing from artists plain and simple. Nobody asked you to do this. Nothing of value will be lost today if your company shuts down. OpenAI is begging the British Parliament to allow it to use copyrighted works because it's supposedly "impossible" for the company to train its artificial intelligence models without using copyrighted material — and continue growing its multi-billion-dollar business — without them. https://futurism.com/the-byte/openai-copyrighted-material-parliament

@michael Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.

This is crazy amount of work. Upgrading a Toshiba NAS HDD firmware on #Linux https://syscall.eu/blog/2024/08/28/toshiba_hdd_firmware/

@tuxsec Honestly, I wasn't expecting it to be this good. Many reviews were negative already, but I wanted to watch it because I'm a big fan of LOTR universe. Boy, I'm glad I did it. It will be interesting to see how he builds the one ring that rules all of them.

Damn, the second season of The Rings of Power is fantastic. It has the perfect balance of action and drama. The first season was quite slow, but towards the end, it picked it up. But the second season is not slow. It is like watching those LOTR movies. Each episode is exciting. And boy, Sauron's character is truly evil. I love it. Haha! If you have not watched it, give it a try. I rarely get excited about TV shows, but this one really deserves a watch. #LOTR

My first day as a software developer: “I am going to change the world.”

Ten years later: “I am lost and difficult to keep up with the current trends. I want to keep it simple.”

Fifteen years later: “I am tired, lost faith in the world and now want to work as a carpenter.”

Q. What do perl programmers and doctors have in common?
