It’s always important to consider why a particular short, oversimplified video is making the rounds right now. Often it’s not too hard to speculate why nefarious interests would be interested in promoting particularly simplified views. Important ideas take time to understand, so always take the time to reflect on the details when you can, or at least embrace some uncertainty.

Today's evening entertainment: run second Linux #container, kill your host network. With a bad kernel-level error in the log.
Fortunately upgrading the kernel seems to have helped.
This is running Arch #Linux on aarch64 in Parallels on Apple Silicon, which is perhaps not the most vanilla setup on the planet 
It's September, 20:30, after sunset, and it's still over 25°C here. This ain't normal.
I see Mozilla is upholding their commitment to "Responsible 'AI'" by [checks release notes] allowing you to embed whatever piece of shit LLM you want directly in the browser.

in reply to Johannes Ernst (tech subjects) • • •In other news, Parallels/GNOME running Arch Linux on Apple Silicon now correctly uses the 3840x2160 pixels of my external monitor, which it previously refused to do.
And that was before the kernel upgrade, or any other upgrade I can think of.
No idea how that suddenly became possible, but it's appreciated...
