Many of us have switched to Linux and haven’t looked back. Just because we’re not posting about it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

These MAGA snowflakes are making themselves a safe space and awarding themselves a participation trophy even though they lost this one 🤣🤣🤣

Ai has been trained on current and past writing which could be considered plagiarism depending on if you’re asking an Ai CEO or not. My question is, what happens when most writing is done by Ai? Do they continue to train it but now on itself? Will the language models experience deterioration at that point?

People are easily convinced to choose a view based on what everyone else around them is doing. This is why Ai is such a threat right now because a single actor can flood social media, comment boards and other online groups with comments arguing a point to convince everyone theyre the ones with the alternative view. It’s programmed social manipulation.

We’re living in the Snowpiercer world with Republicans currently playing Wilford and the Democrats playing Gilliam. Even if Gilliam regains power he wouldn’t reel in the powers of the executive branch because like Wliford, he also believes in keeping the status quo.

It wouldn’t surprise me if this was an inside job to distract from Trumps problems

He won’t affect global policy much at all. He’s a threat to the mega wealthy because he’s a symbol of change in the American people.

This is the same reason the elite went so hard on the communist scare late last century. Back then certain political views were almost a criminal offense. Hopefully history doesn’t repeat itself here.

Why does someone with $9 billion need to invest more money into anything at this phase?

It really depends on your hardware. I have a Dell XPS with an 11th gen Intel i5 that I’m running Fedora (Gnome desktop environment) on and it was rock solid from minute one. Things to check:

• Make sure your network card is supported. Intel network cards are some of the better choices for open source compatibility. On most laptops this can be swapped out if necessary.

• Camera

• Touchpad

• Fingerprint sensor

• Sound driver

• Any niche functions or modules. Think things like a secondary display on the keyboard, speciality ports etc.

Support is much better now than in the past and remember you don’t need everything to work to have a good time. My fingerprint sensor doesn’t work but it didn’t work well under windows so no big loss for me.

• You can always use a live bootable USB drive to test your hardware without having to commit to anything. This will tell you a lot about the experience you might have after installation. Heck, if you’re board you can try this right now and it won’t touch your current hard drive or operating system.

Nvidia is using the “its fake news” strategy now? My how the mighty have fallen.

I’ve said it many times but publicly traded companies are destroying the world. The fact they have to increase revenue every single year is not sustainable and just leads to employees being underpaid, products that are built cheaper and invasive data collection to offset their previous poor decisions.

Its probably time we all become the gun nuts at least while they still let us

It doesn’t matter where they live. If the US exerts pressure on whatever country the money is in they can and would get that money back. They’re somehow able to freeze the accounts of Russian oligarchs so they’s no reason to believe they couldn’t do it with Bezo as well.

Unless the government wants to buy the data in which case it’s just good capitalism

I’ll offer $15,000 firm. They won’t get a better offer.

How do you leave when your friends, family and coworkers are all on iMessage and refuse to use anything cross platform? This literally affects people’s professional relationships and close personal connections.

No my friend, Apple has perfected lock-in and turned it into an art. Just because it doesn’t affect you doesn’t mean it’s not an issue.

Their entire business model has been to focus on systems that lock people in and exclude people who are out. None of this is done for security or as a means for the best possible customer experience. It’s done for the sole purpose of forcing income they couldn’t achieve with innovation alone. I’ve heard so many tech reviewers and even my own personal friends who say they would love to switch if only to try something else. They say they’d switch today if their friends, family and coworkers wouldn’t get mad at them. Apples only real innovation over the past ten years has been built in social pressure.

Think of any invasive streaming devices in your house. Samsung, Google Chromecast, ATV, LG etc. Roku is by far the worst.

I can’t help but think how much science fiction had stories where a civilization created machines to make their lives easier until there was no one left who knew how the machines worked or anyone who could fix them.

Those stories always seemed so far away yet here we are at the beginning with LLMs and machine learning.

Cosmic justice?
