1993 called and wants the inferior FOSS software you last tried back. Haha.

I find that Linux apps for basic stuff are now well ahead of their Windows counterparts.

It's getting hard to find quality free software that is Windows native, and not just a recompile of a Mac or Linux tool.

I'm happy to pay for software too, but the paid stuff has all been shit, for awhile, in my weird experiences. (Weird, in that I'm not doing music or video editing or non-developer power user stuff. I've heard mileage may vary with those.)

Sorry, I left off the sarcasm tag. I'm not confident that this will help anything.

I too have average self esteem and a hoodie. We are starting a very chill movement.

Haha!

But...yeah. This is how I make friends in real life, though.

Edit: Now I am checking timestamps to see if my needlessly using the word "cromulent" in another thread comment might have helped inspire this delight...

Edit 2: Just a coincidence. And evidence that I live this meme, too.

I think I understand this pitch to be:

"Insider trading isn't insider trading if it's done under religious trappings and with an AI in the middle."

Normally I hate AI news. But if someone is promising an AI that will debate endlessly with the Bible as it's foundational knowledge...well, I think that could make the world a better place - by wasting the time of people with nothing better to contribute to society than debate about the Bible.

Maybe they can do that in a corner, somewhere, instead of interrupting those who understood the Bible in a single read and are feeding the hungry and caring for windows and orphans.

It feels like everything is vibe coded, now.

I need to start a vintage software hobby.

Ensign is a perfectly cromulent rank to achieve during a Starfleet career.

I find that con artists don't like to communicate slowly. It makes them uncomfortable.

Asking the real critical question.

Pre-beard, I only give them one episode.

We've nearly outlined the plot to a season of Picard at this point.

Now we just need a motive - say Beverly Crusher is asking nicely from a deep space in distress...
