Still looks ripped under that shirt. Let him sit there for a few years and see how that changes!

I like how this flips the narrative from: “I need to make my impact on the future by leaving a child!” to “I can also make an impact on the future by deciding not to leave a child here!”

Ubuntu’s role in the ecosystem is important. They are good at first luring people into using linux. Then the users get pissed off of Ubuntu, because of Snap, ads, or whatever random crap they know from Windows. Finally, they move on to better options, be it Arch, Debian, or Puppy. Ubuntu ensures they don’t all stick to the same

I got 600$ in the bank motherfucker

Are those the Results of the Search of the Rise of the Return of the Planet of the Apes?

For politicians: Gesturing that you “do something” against the “rampant crime” happening everywhere, which makes you appear as if you care about citizens. On the other hand, actually doing something (e.g., preventative measures) is too expensive and doesn’t make you look cool as a politician. If you introduce the new surveillance ‘AI’ 2000 ™ by Future Corp., you represent safety, power, future, even if there is nothing meaningful behind it.

For Future Corp.: Sell a lot of shit to politicians and profit.

Wrong question. “I have a solution (‘AI’), what’s the problem it should solve?” This is the path towards micromanaging stuff that’s not core to the enterprise.

Instead, try to identify specific problems in the specific context, or factors that are most relevant for success. Then see what the solution could be. That solution might be “AI”, or a bunch of sticky notes, or whatever else.

Other than that: Wherever you use a new tech like ‘AI’, also consider the risks. For example, do you really want to outsource part of your customer relations to an unpredictable thing that sends them the implicit message that you don’t care to directly communicate with them? Etc.

Looking at the majority of the replies I see some meme potential (no offense):

Dude irl: “I only carry the minimal”

Dude in games: “This is my 5000 ton backpack with 50 health potions, a bunch of plant leaves, 2 axes, 3 bows, 4 swords (1 of them cursed), a few scrolls and runestones; some bread, cheese, milk, apples, glasses of beer; and a map”

Don’t underestimate the weather, though. It’s terrible in summer, unless you’re up on some mountain or at the Russian border. Spring and fall are great, though.

I always wonder about the multi tool people. That seems super popular, but I never see a need for it. What do you use it for? Multiple things? 🥁

I guess it’s local, it only became so apparent to me some time after moving to Japan. It’s also interesting how the types of things to prepare for change. In Japan, I think it’s mostly about weather. No need for safety measures, food and drinks everywhere and cheap, clean and reliable infrastructure (toilets, trains, everything, basically). People are also mindful about the noise they make, so even earplugs are not necessary.

In Germany it’s different. Weather is not so much of a concern, but I used to carry a basic pack of stuff with me in case I crashed at a friend’s place. This doesn’t happen here very often, and cheap hotels or manga cafes often have basics like toothbrushes etc.

Fucking Star Wars fans…
