I have a Framework that I love and bought for that exact reason, but recently Lenovo seems to have upped their repairability game again as well:

I'm German, born in the early 80s, and I've never heard of that book, tbh.

Obviously the Anti-nuclear movement has been extremely strong in Germany following Chernobyl, but this thing must have been somehow confined to certain circles. Or maybe it became more popular later - the Wikipedia page says it had been sold 50k times by 1988, but 1.5M times by 2006, and by then read in school.

Interesting. Southern German, born in the early 80s, and this book was HUGE in my childhood. Definitely covered at school, at depth.

Yeah, plausible - I come from a very small state in the south that never had a nuclear plant (hint hint), and as the books read in school are chosen by the state, it probably wasn't a priority.

I have never come across it outside of school either though, even until today, and I still spend a lot of time reading and in libraries and book stores. Which makes me think it only circulated within these 2 groups - political anti-nuclear readership, and then from there into school readings.

Es gibt den auch als Film. Der ist auch nicht für schwache Gemüter

When I see AI images, I skip them, and most likely, the entire article. They're a better warning sign than the ones hidden in the text.

Yeah, I’ve been considering this. They’re going to start removing em dashes, which currently is a surefire way to detect AI text.

Let’s say lose those and using emojis as bullet points. It’s going to be a lot harder to detect.

I don't actually look for em dashes or emojis as indicators, I can tell just from a few paragraphs if the pacing and flow is AI slop.

AI will become this colleague who sucks at everything, but never says no, so he becomes the favorite go-to person.

Let's also be honest, the social democrats are backing this as well.

One of the side effects of AI is definitely that a lot of people have way too much time at their hands which they can now invest in pointless community drama.

For a comment on a forum intended to foster a community of folks interested in software development, this is a remarkably anti community point.

Rather than a rewind to the past, this is ironically exactly the web I've come to loathe, where you have to waste unpredictable amounts of time to jump through hoops of interactive nonsense to get a tiny bit of information from some overdesigned interactive pages. Content that could have been a 5 minutes youtube clip or a couple of links to archive.org.

Really appreciate this way to demo it quickly, very nice!

"Bombadil" means that I'll probably skip most of these tests.

I sense a kindred spirit.

In a world of relative abundance, everybody is some version of Oblomov.
