I, for one, welcome our new #LLM overlords.
…well, within #reason 
#Copilot has been quite useful, despite the plentiful #hallucinations. 
Before i've figured out, how to create a multi-page scan, as a PDF, using #XSane, …
Yeah, using the #ImageMagick / convert tool, remains #persnickety
pro tip; you need to match the DPI/resolution (close enough), in the input files, in order to produce a "good enough" output.pdf
yikes, the struggle is real 
To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of #reason, and whose #philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an #atheist by #scripture.
—Thomas Paine
@lemonde Isn't it about time the real #reason behind the #war in #Ukraine? The giant, #top-secret #underground #American #military #base conveniently built near #Ukraine’s old #army #complex. The one loaded with #directed #energy #weapons, #acoustic #cannons, and enough tech to #mess with #Kremlin — and pretty much all of #Northern #Europe. And let’s face it, even the #Pope isn’t hiding it anymore, now that the #Church's #spiritual #power has gone #offline like a #Vatican Wi-Fi outage

European superstate, killing joke
I'm a Judeo Christian morality
With a Greco Roman intellect
It's the way we're short-wired
It's a civilizing force that demands respect
From the Baltic to the straits of Gibraltar
A blue flag gold star sparks a brand new empire
Ours to build, ours the choice
I'm in an European Super State
Every citizen required to debate
I'm in an European Super State
Every citizen required to debate
Why are the proud descendants of Plato
Paying off more debts accommodating NATO?
We the caretakers of democracy
No longer tolerate this hypocrisy
Baltic to the straits of Gibraltar
A blue flag gold star sparks a brand new empire
Ours to build, ours the choice
I'm in an European Super State
Every citizen required to debate
I'm in an European Super State
Every citizen required to debate
Old Europe

I'm a Judeo Christian morality

It's a civilizing force that demands respect

A blue flag gold star sparks a brand new empire
Ours to build, ours the choice

Why? Because. The most terrible of motives, the most unanswerable of retorts — Because.
[Pourquoi ? Parce que. Le plus terrible des motifs et la plus indiscutable des réponses: Parce que.]

Les Misérables, Part 4 “St. Denis,” Book 6 “Little Gavroche,” ch. 1 (4.6.1) (1862) [tr. Hapgood (1887)]

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius
The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.
[Τὴν ὑποληπτικὴν δύναμιν σέβε. ἐν ταύτῃ τὸ πᾶν, ἵνα ὑπόληψις τῷ ἡγεμονικῷ σου μηκέτι ἐγγένηται ἀνακόλουθος τῇ φύσει καὶ τῇ τοῦ λογικοῦ ζῴου κατασκευῇ]
Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 3, ch. 9 (3.9) (AD 161-180) [tr. Collier (1701)]

Over & over again I am reminded that my memory does not provide reliable evidence on its own. It always needs corroboration. Novelist Julian Barnes riffs on that idea here, & its consequences for changing one's mind.
