Upcoming #ai event, might be interesting from an #AISkepticism perspective.

@asrg This is relevant to your mission, but at the same time suspicious due to the author, who is a major player in the current LLM glut.
10x productivity improvements by #AI were already discussed and dismissed in 1986 - and also in 2025 with all the #AIHype, things still do not look very promising. I looked into Fred Brooks essay "No silver bullet" to learn why.
#GenerativeAI #AIBubble
I wrote about my reaction to the #ai #llm flood. In short: I'm not participating, but waiting to see what happens. There are also increasing signs that the bubble will soon burst—which would probably be the best outcome for everyone.

So you hit enter too fast after the dreaded `rm -rf` in the wrong directory but, of course, your backup saved the day. … No? Don't panic; you are not alone and there are tools which can help you out on #filesystem level. In my case, it was `btrfs-undelete`, but there are similar programs for Ext4. Data recovery is cumbersome and time-consuming, but not impossible. And next time, backup, backup, #backup !

@AverageDog Until now, I have only bought one of your books. But all target a beautiful niche, and although I wish it for you, I bet you won't get rich writing more of them. That said, you shouldn't write to sell more; you should write because you enjoy writing about topics in which you are an expert and which find an audience, no matter how small. In other words, your books contribute to the betterment of our world, and that should be your goal, not sales numbers. That's my humble opinion.

The "social" bookstore - I am quite happy with it, ordered also several books in english. A small portion of the price will be donated for social projects.

Starting 32-bit #Puppy #Linux in #qemu is not as straightforward as for example 32-bit #Alpine. For the latter, using `qemu-system-i386` without special options is obvious and sufficient. The former comes with a 64-bit #UEFI bootloader. That means you cannot use the default qemu #bootloader but need OVMF. And do not fall in the trap of using qemu-i386. You need qemu-x86_64. Long story short: `qemu-system-x86_64 -drive format=raw,file=BookwormPup32.iso -bios /usr/share/edk2/x64/OVMF.fd …`
