  • Update on the slop dentist situation: second opinion says that loved one has zero cavities. I suspect that her only problem was having a non-median mouth that wasn't well-represented in Pearl AI's training data.

  • Because of how I am, whenever someone near me says "Wayland" I hear "Waylon" and expect it to be followed by "Jennings".

    Waylon would be a great name for a hostile Wayland alternative.

  • Loved one just had an awful experience at a previously decent dentist. They've apparently started using something called Pearl AI that scanned the x-ray and highlighted things in bright red with a #/100 rating system, which they used to do high-pressure sales on her. Mind you, she's only ever had one cavity and that was in a wisdom tooth. Checked the website and it's freshly slopped-up, too.

    We're getting a second opinion. I wish this garbage would just go away

  • My unrealistic sicko fantasy: that Torvalds pulling the big ol slop lever drives enough oppositionally defiant (positive) people away from Linux development that alternative OS devel gets a serious boost.

    A question for the wise: what comes after Linux?
