Download the gerneric linux version. Then un-compress it and copy the contents into your system discord directory. Maybe make a back-up copy first, just in case.

Sounds like it could be a 'tortured phrase'.

See here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.06751

But I can't for the life of me figure out what it's supposed to be.

Distributions may support specific kernels longer than their 'official' end-of-life. For example, Ubuntu 22.04 will use the 5.15 kernel until April of 2027 even though it’s technically end-of-life in October 2026.

I think I scared my wife and kid I laughed so hard.

Something else to be aware of is compromised LinkedIn profiles. I was recently contacted by a very real looking profile on LinkedIn, who was supposedly recruiting for a very real position at a very real company that the profile actually worked for. Red flags were:

  1. Bad english/spelling in messages
  2. Compensation a little too good to be true
  3. Sounded too easy to 'get' the job
  4. Person's job title had nothing to do with recruitment until very recently
  5. 'Application form' they sent me looked a little bogus

They wanted me to fill out a form with all my info., including SSN, and send photocopies of my ID. When I asked for an email address at the company in question to send everything to, they ghosted me.

Yikes, that one almost got me. Advice here is to always manually 'two factor' identify people who contact you out of the blue.

Safe hunting folks.

Yep, my kid is just starting to fool around with Minecraft and every time we play, I launch the client from the command line. Planting the seeds...

Congrats, first kid or just first girl? Mine is 1.5 years, enjoy the quiet times and I hope you are getting some sleep!

Ok, so that specific *@ has some long history I'm not aware of. Still raises the question - I thought the point of this type of thing was that you don't have to deal with derelict communities 'run' by absent moderators - you can just go somewhere else? Right? Or am I just being a jerk here.

Why do you care so much?

Most of the internet was already BS before 'working' LLMs, where do you think the models learned it from? I think what you want is a crap detector, and I'm with you. Any ideas good ideas and I'll donate my time to work on it.

You're supporting the wrong Amazon.

 

The Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska Fairbanks is predicting a geomagnetic storm for Wednesday and Thursday of this week (July 12th & 13th). Strong northern lights may be visible between 10 PM and 2 AM in parts of the northern US, especially from points of high elevation, clear views of the northern horizon and low light polution.
