Gnome on one machine, LXDE on another.
I use Gnome on my main laptop, a Thinkpad P50. I bought it with a dock thinking I’d use it at my desk and on the sofa but it’s a bit of a beast so that stays on my desk and I use an L440 with LXDE on the sofa. Considering trying LCARS on the sofa machine.
Same. Gnome currently but will certainly be trying Cosmic

Indeed 'twas a tampon with blood upon it
In Wales road signs are printed in both English and Welsh. When a new sign was being made someone sent the English part to a translator, who’s out of office message was in Welsh. They assumed that message was the translation and printed it on the sign.

Not a translation error but the worst tattoo I ever saw on someone was a guy with a bloody tampon tramp stamp.
But this is paying for a service that’s used to obtain content, not directly for the content
We had Sky, it was British Sex for me.
Ah, you beat me to it!
Maybe. But I have a feeling it’ll be a dumb single mistake that’ll make someone say “ah, shit” just before we’re wiped out.
When the Soviets trained anti-tank dogs in WW2 they did so on tanks that weren’t running to save fuel: “Their deployment revealed some serious problems… In the field, the dogs refused to dive under moving tanks.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-tank_dog
History is littered with these kinds of mistakes. It would only take one military AI with access to autonomous weapons to have a similar issue in it’s training data to potentially kill us all.
Possible or not I don’t think we’ll get to the point of AGI. I’m pretty sure at some point someone will do something monumentally stupid with AI that will wipe out humanity.
Wow, imagine ordering a pizza to what used to be a Pizza Hut
Yea I didn’t think about that but if someone said to an AI powered robot “Hey, can you shred my reports?” as they leave work they could easily come back in the morning to it tearing their junior staff into strips like “Morning boss, almost done”.
That first one reminds me of a part of HHGTTG where I think Ford starts counting in front of a computer to intimidate it because its like walking up to a human and chanting “blood, blood, blood”.
In a lot of UK homes cold water comes directly from the mains supply and hot water comes from a local storage cistern, which is normally kept in the attic. They use separate pipes and taps to avoid fresh “drinking” water being contaminated by non-fresh “washing” water.
That plumbing set up was common during the 1940s-50s, when a lot of UK houses were built due to the post-war economic boom. My older home doesn’t use this system and I have mixer taps in both my kitchen and bathroom and recent builds don’t use it either but some people prefer separate taps as it’s what they’re used to.
Yea, get the shit bombed out of you. Then you’ll lose everything and your government will have no option but to finally get off their arse and publically fund healthcare to avoid their remaining workforce dying out.
It’s pork sausage!
I thought they came from a can, and they were put there by a man, in a factory down town
My apologies, I was thinking about castration only from my own perspective
I used LXDE for a while on old crappy machines when I first started using Linux so just used to it I guess
