Literally some dude on the Internet
@GIMP it was the "highly compressible 0-bit mode" part that made me chuckle, nicely done!
@PattyHanson @infobeautiful @ourworldindata that's not exactly what the graph is about. The media isn't claiming that 18% of deaths are terrorism. Instead, reporting about terrorism deaths makes up about 18% of all reporting on deaths. In other words, the media *talks* a lot about terrorism deaths, but it doesn't *claim* that those deaths make up 18% of the total.
@codinghorror wannabe billionaire (sorry, I meant AI tech startup owner) wants the actual billionaires to notice him, maybe one of them will buy his company before the bubble bursts. Kind of pathetic, really.

Continued my journey away from US-based technology in January by moving to Linux Mint. The switch took about 2 days (on and off) to set up everything I use in my workflow.

I have to say - gaming on Linux has gotten *so* much easier with Proton. Things *just work* with Steam and Heroic.

The one thing I wasn't able to get working just yet is Affinity Photo 2. I don't use it often, so worse case scenario I'll just dual boot to Windows on the rare occassion I need it.

Editura Nemira a testat cu inteligența artificială efectele noii programe de limba română: risc major de îndepărtare a elevilor de lectură

Editura Nemira a derulat un experiment cu ajutorul inteligenței artificiale pentru a evalua impactul noii programe de limba și literatura română propuse

"The Nemira Publishing House tested the effects of the new Romanian language curriculum with artificial intelligence: major risk of students being turned away from reading"

And by "testing with AI" they mean telling ChatGPT to pretend they're a high school student and what the changes to the curriculum are, then interviewing the "student" about how the changes impact them.

Which is just as valuable as asking a rando on the street the same questions, but doing it with AI makes it newsworthy.
