So Terry Davis was right… I guess. Who’s going to put an AI into TempleOS to honor him?

Yeah, that’s part of it. But there is something more fundamental, it’s not just rising up the ranks but also time spent in management. It feels like someone can get promoted to middle management and be good at the job initially, but then as the job is more about telling others what to do and filtering data up the corporate structure there’s a certain amount of brain rot that sets in.
I had just attributed it to age, but this could also be a factor. I’m not sure it’s enough to warrant studies, but it’s interesting to me that just the act of managing work done by others could contribute to mental decline.


Does this also explain what happens with middle and upper management? As people have moved up the ranks during the course of their careers, I swear they get dumber.
Well it used to be that rich people preferred to have porcelain white skin, because the poor had to be outside to work. Then the poor started working indoors, so now the rich prefer to be tanned.
Art tastes will change similarly. Art with obvious imperfections will be considered better. Actual paintings with large obvious, textured brush strokes. Books and poems printed on rough hand made paper. Maybe even hand lettered. Things that were obviously done by a skilled craftsman, but would be difficult to do with machines and Ai.
Think the neovictorians from Neal Stephensons The Diamond Age.
What about scams you’re born into, but stayed in waaaay to long? If so Mormonism and the Republican party.


What’s wrong with unraid?


Idk I kind of liked Uru. Love me some Peter Gabriel.


Did you read the books? They’re not bad.


Myst, I wanted to write books that linked to worlds. Figured the closest thing was programming.
Civilization 1, patients, economics, frustration.
Doom, was just a shit ton of fun and got me into networking so we could play against each other.
Tigtone. It’s so weird and disturbing to watch,yet hilarious. Perfect


Yeah, I’ve got a lot of sisters.


One time I was out walking someplace and a woman was walking about 20 feet in front of me. I just took out my phone and called my wife and rather loudly announced where I was walking to, asked her about her day etc. The woman visible seemed to relax.


KDE plasma, unless it’s on a tablet, then Gnome
Honestly, Debian 12 bookworm with the KDE package is pretty damn solid. It’s all I need for my desktops.


I was raised Mormon. Finally left in my 40s.


God I hate discord.


Well has anything trump has said sounded well thought out. He’s like the villain from Meet the Robinsons
Maybe spend some time investigating how to make nuget packages and then move onto deb or rpm. That way you’ll have a better idea of the problems that you’ll face in making your own. Personally whenever I feel the need for some kind of package manager, nuget is flexible enough that I can repurpose it to almost anything.
