Excuse me, no. That was the first human all-female space flight. The first all-female space flight was Laika, in 1957.

Does that1 security no-no matter on a single-user system which (almost) never leaves the sight of said user? Or is that just a matter of 'don't do this on a server'?

Why? Simple. Young men now have to compete for the attention of women in a way that they never did. In times past, if there was competition for a woman's attention or time, it was with another man - someone they saw as an equal, a better, or someone to be defeated. Now the competition is with the woman herself. It's not just a matter of putting on the act of shaving, buying a suit, going to church, spending time with her instead of sporting events, and so forth - for the purpose of courtship only. Most of that could be shut off immediately after the marriage license was signed and the rest after the birth of the first child.

Generally speaking, society is applauding women for competing with men like that, and telling men that they have to 'be better' - while not giving clear objectives on what "better" is. Add to that ongoing social friction (especially now after the lockdowns), and the situation for many young men is looking rather bleak.

Along comes Andrew Tate (and a slew of other MR activists), who tell these disappointed, depressed guys that what they're experiencing is not their fault (which is what they already believe, but are afraid to say). They provide clear, simple answers - do this, achieve that. And it works, especially the basic things. Why wouldn't they listen to people who tell them that they're not the problem? Or who tells them what they can do to solve the problem? Of course young men listen to it and heed it. But because they're so caught up in a cult of personality, they don't know how to speak a new, less toxic voice into existence.

Trust, not exactly. But I do want to see if they can come up with that much printed money, and if cash is delivered, it should be a matter of public record what serial numbers those bills have, and where their recorded uses have been.

Cash upfront. Delivery after full payment.

I like Mint. It looks like Windows, runs the software I want (including a lot of what I use on Windows). To me, the best thing an OS can ever do is stay out of my way. If it has any learning curve between me and doing the things I need and want to do, it's a bad OS for my needs,

Thank you, that's a switch I hadn't looked at. I'll admit though, I'm on Mint, I have a nice built-in GUI that works nicely.

Um... shouldn't it be:

 undefined

    
sudo su;
apt-get update;
flatpak update;

  

Or am I missing something?

Not flooding the world with more LLM-related slop really doesn't sound like that bad a thing. A nation already known for widespread IP theft is better-equipped to double down on that. Then again, I'm one of those people who resembles that meme about the only network-aware appliance I have being a printer, and being ready to disable it if it makes any strange noises.

Huzzah! Here's hoping it goes from being in danger to being actually broken!

This is exactly what I was about to say.

Yeah, that's one of the things that I disagree about with the world's most senior space cadet.

Oh, I agree with you. But the more we publicize this, the more pressure we can apply to site devs to support multiple browsers.

Report the error to the company and to Mozilla.

I'm not entirely shocked. They get kicked off mainstream sites regularly, they need somewhere for their echo chamber to exist.

Public domain audiobooks, read by members of the community. It's a beautiful thing - which is why AI scrapers seem currently determined to tear it down.

Sadly, yeah. Unfortunately, I'm not really capable of sounding the alarm, and whoever runs the Xwitter page for Librivox have not posted anything in over a year. They should be crying out for aid, but there's crickets in the public eye.

Well, I'll never see it, unless TI or another American company designs their own version.

Having looked at the forum, they seem to be under attack by a swarm of AI scrapers. If anyone can help them defend against the attack, please do so.

For me it's simple: I lost my planned career. I was going to be a librarian. The money to give me a scholarship dried up. So I pulled myself together, bopped through decent jobs for a decade or so, and now have a career.
