I’ve been using Linux for 25 years, awk is a more recent addition to my arsenal, but rapidly becoming more and more useful.

For example, awk is extremely helpful if you want to rearrange columns, do math on columns, essentially do things that would take multiple lines of bash with cut and read.

grep, sed, awk, and find

I wonder … will it be another case of “Too Big To Fail” … or will it be … “Let The Market Decide”?

I’m guessing the answer depends on how many medals the CEO of Oracle can bestow upon the Orange.

Me … cynical … no … just been here for a while.

More likely than not you’re confusing modifier keys.

On the Mac, the zoom is [Command] + [+].

In Linux it’s [Control] + [+]

This is pretty much true across the board. It’s sometimes non-obvious because wrappers like UTM try to “help”.

In my experience, unmet dependencies are unlikely to happen on a stable version where you only installed from the official repo.

The LZMA decompression errors point at a much more fundamental issue. I’m suspecting that the repository URLs point at non standard locations or downloads were interrupted, though I’m not sure exactly how, since AFAIK, apt checks the checksum.

If you must have something that’s not In your distro, do yourself a favour and install Docker and run your package inside there, much less chance of killing your system.

I’ll add it to the list:

• AI is Assumed Intelligence.
• AI is autocorrect on steroids.
• AI is a Dunning-Kruger accelerator.
• AI is a classic case of Gell-Mann amnesia.

What you’re describing is a general experience with LLM, not limited to the C-level.

If an LLM sprouts rubbish you detect it because you have external knowledge, in other words, you’re the subject matter expert.

What makes you think that those same errors are not happening at the same rate outside your direct personal sphere of knowledge?

Now consider what this means for the people around you, including the C-level.

Repeat after me, AI is Assumed Intelligence and should not be considered anything more than autocorrect on steroids.

The fact that Debian is not on your list makes me doubt that it’s accurate or complete and while I’ve been using Linux as my primary desktop for over 25 years, I’ve never heard of any of those distributions listed.

I’m guessing that the answer to that is … as soon as openai collapses … hopefully.

The article explains precisely what it is and why … it’s even written in English.

What is your budget?

What size do you want?

What screen resolution?

Which GPU?

And if you want warranty, which country are you in?

This seems relevant:

Is it just me, or does that seem … abrupt?

Charging him with a crime sounds like a good start … though I doubt that will happen anytime soon.

So … the US Congress can just summon a citizen from a different country … and the citizen is compelled to … do what exactly?

ProTip: the Ubuntu version number includes the year and month of release. 26.04 will be released in April 2026. 26.10 in October 2026.
