Just a dude on the internet, looking for content and fun! I love Linux, gaming, writing, reading, music, anime, walks, and occasionally movies too. Chronically ill and anxious too, that makes life quite interesting…At times.
It was bound to happen when the big tech idiots don’t listen to the feedback from end users and people who’s jobs are on the line in an already hostile job market. When one does not entertain civil discourse, and try to force your bullshit on others…that creates friction, which can lead to hostility.
Honestly, pretty cool that they were able to create a working emulator and assembler to interface with this UNIVAC-1219. I got a lot out of it, despite being early on my programming journey. I can’t wait to see what The Science Elf and friends get up to next!
I only watched Exodus being played…
I remember Metro Last Light having the potential for that ending. It was what I felt should be the default ending. To be cruel and choose humanity over the Dark Ones should be a negative ending you had to go out of your way to get.
Shame that they forgot the continuity of their own story when it came to writing Exodus. I just bought the game because I planned to replay the series, now I am going to be annoyed. ROFL
My favorite with coffee is Almond or Coconut Milk, oat milk isn’t great unless it is the creamy variety!
Oofta, I’d love to have multiple parties with different priorities to vote for. That would be a huge ask, figuring that out for the American political system would be amazing.
We will keep defeating these nasty bills, we have to keep pushing and not just giving into what the government wants. As what the government wants is nasty as fuck! There will be means to circumvent such changes, Ageless Linux is working on categorizing the methods of evasion, keeping track of what Linux distros are deciding and doing in regards to Age Verification.
Hmm, I did like the Metro series of games…They had some edge and intrigue. I still feel bad for the Dark Ones, who were trying to help, but were too psychically powerful to make contact with other people easily.
Ugh, this is so disgusting! They desperately want control over things they should never have! I’ve shared my opinion will all three of my representatives.
Ah, LLM glazing in the news…Given that LLMs aren’t that profitable, they have to scare people into believing this bubble won’t burst like a bloated cyst.
Yeah, openSUSE Tumbleweed is a pretty solid distro…And really flexible, customizable in the way that approaches Arch without all the headaches that can come with knowing Arch. I don’t even mind the daily updates, it’s just something that people should be aware of. Particularly if they are compelled to be up to date (like myself). There is only a few problems that I’ve had and most of them were because of me. One was because SELinux was being a bastard (but it could be fixed with two commands). Hell, updating using Zypper is probably the fastest way to get them done, I don’t use GNOME software, as it can get irritating to update NVIDIA drivers (as it will ignore my agreeing to the licenses).
I like that YaST Software is a solid way of installing packages and software without much fuss.
Rolling is not for the faint of heart; hell openSUSE Tumbleweed is certainly an update everyday (though they have fairly stable pushes). I really love Solus because they have a designated day of the week when they update and perform tests before pushing their updates out!
By design, LLM makers did indeed want to produce this effect in other people…Getting them hooked on the LLM usage, and convert them into paying customers. As addicted people will pay in order to get a fix from their LLM hallucination engine that has a complaisant tendency. Thankfully, I was pretty unimpressed by my brief experimentation with LLMs, as I knew going in they were not it. Which was true, because the amount of lies passed off as truth within the few queries I submitted…Kept me safe, as I checked each answer carefully and found them all lacking.
This video is a bit dramatic, nothing can be worse than a Windows 11 update…However, I do have some grievances with the reliance of snaps. Given the recent spate of software vulnerabilities associated with Snaps, if Canonical is going to push them on users. They better get snappy with the security hardening of their pet project, as one cannot be Microslop messy when it comes to creating proprietary software packaging and ecosystem! I also do agree that removing the easy way of setting up PPAs and software sources graphically is a bad move on Canonical’s part.
X11 is doomed to die, the discussions were had, and the maintaining that shambling corpse for any longer when Wayland is a good replacement that will become better with time, was deemed pointless. GNOME decided to drop X11 faster than KDE (they will be dropping in the next few releases). However, there will still be distros that take on the effort to maintain X11 despite it being a shambling corpse…
Canonical falling in step with GNOME on that decision isn’t the worst thing in the world. Canonical dropping X11 means less work maintaining it, as long as they pour that saved effort into better ventures, bully for them. Honestly, even Wayland isn’t going to be forever, and I hope they transition into a better display manager faster than the X11 to Wayland process.
I haven’t used Ubuntu in a hot minute, as openSUSE Tumbleweed and Solus has filled my needs so far…I think Ubuntu 26.04 will be a solid release (barring any release day issues, that are known to happen).
ROFL What the actual fuck?! This lady is off her rocker, LLMs aren’t alive, and can’t be your friend. What a weirdo!
LOL This is the future these techbros want to sell people on. Good luck, buttercups! I don’t see myself buying into this garbage anytime soon or honestly, at all!
LOL Of course this bastard would try to worm his way out of liability. As LLMs cannot be held responsible for any actions, since these hallucination engines cannot think or feel. However, OpenAI can and should be held liable when their product is directly responsible for causing something horrible to happen on both a small and critical scale. If they can create the “tech” they can accept responsibility when the shit goes south and causes a lot of destruction/loss of life.
Sealioning to quote Wikipedia: “Sealioning is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity, and feigning ignorance of the subject matter. It may take the form of “incessant, bad-faith invitations to engage in debate”, and has been likened to a denial-of-service attack targeted at human beings.”
I tend to only block people that are either being really hostile, sealions, trolls, far right weirdos, tankies, bigots, AI chuds, or if they are arguing in bad faith. I also block any straight or lesbian porn instances because that isn’t what I want to appear in my feeds.
I did mistype, as I meant W2. As for the other part of your post, I’ve set-up my W4 so that I pay the right amount in taxes…My tax return tends to be in the 300 dollar range. That is not very much money being held hostage by the government, Kansas State taxes are weird, but at least I don’t own them much anymore these days. It used to be that I owed them money, but, I’ve dialed it in to make sure they own me a pittance that isn’t even worth sending me to my bank account.
Wow you can tell AI was involved given the fact 4 out of the 6 women were probably generated using NSFW data…Yikes, a lot of those generated images look similar to the ones that I find YouTube Phishing bots using repeatedly. I don’t understand how people can’t immediately tell these are GenAI profiles when looking through them. The language is too similar, feels off to me at least. Makes my brain itch.
