Photography advice threads: “zoom with your feet!”

Scientists: “…ok.”

If we could get an LLM that uploads all our data along with an ad server in our desktop apps, then we’d really have something going.

I thought this was going to be about rare earth metals. Fucking graphite?

It is absolutely a different situation if it is opt-in. If Ubuntu made Snaps opt-in, people might not like them but it’d be a minor critique instead of fleeing the distro.

Why would you want a simulation version? You will get saved at “well rested.” It will be an infinite loop of put to work for several hours and then deleted. You won’t even experience that much, your consciousness is gone.

“Tomatoes are as conscious as dogs, might as well eat both.”

Seriously. I paid for the computer, it should not be constantly begging and nagging to subscribe to my own hardware. Sympathies to people unable to get out, but I was done a long time ago.

Good to hear I might be on a painless track! I’m also really loving the idea of rpm-ostree. Kinda interested in setting up one of those automatic builds, just to learn.

I think it’s still cheaper if they’re at retail prices. I’m sure Apple has a way to sell the exact same thing as a medical device instead and they’re tens of thousands for each.

I tried Nobara and quickly ran into the lone developer problem when it didn’t support secure boot. I don’t really see the point of secure boot when the machine will still accept any USB I stick in there, but most other distros seem to handle it. I didn’t want to spend a lot of time working on it and later find other unsupported things.

So I switched to Bazzite, which other people keep recommending, and that seems to work fine. AMD GPU over here tho, YMMV.

I mean, ok, then, I, a taxpayer, want free access to the document I paid for.

You go to reach for a coffee and the wrist hole of your sleeve suddenly accordions over your entire hand as an ad unfurls from your shoulder.

Better sandboxing would be great. Wasn’t there a story earlier in the week that a missing environment variable in a desktop theme erased someone’s entire user directory? That shouldn’t really be possible.

Yes, completely expected that despite her calling for a ceasefire, you would find something objectionable that is also 100% disqualifying. Weird that what you chose is the condemnation of a terrorist attack but okay.

Here she wants a ceasefire on Oct. 9: https://ocasio-cortez.house.gov/media/press-releases/statement-rep-ocasio-cortez-violence-israel-and-palestine

And here she calls one of the methods a war crime: https://ocasio-cortez.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-introduces-amendment-banning-israel-using-us-aid

Nov. 15 looks like where she’s solidified the public position more firmly, and with associates https://ocasio-cortez.house.gov/media/press-releases/24-members-congress-call-biden-administration-establish-ceasefire-protect

The problem is you have to give your SSN for legitimate employers as well. It is mind-bogglingly stupid that there’s a magic number you have to keep secret and also have to give to everyone to participate in modern economy.

All of this. Wish I had applied myself and found someone to tell me constant criticism for making mistakes isn’t normal.

IDK about a dashboard but SeaweedFS with the S3 filer is dead simple to self host and will even do a bit of identity policy.

This is really cool. I think this is very close to what I want, but am I correct in understanding the host also has an X11 server in this setup? I’ll have to check out distrobox, that’s an interesting tool.

Wow, you’re seriously trying to blame a Dem administration for a Repub-appointed SCOTUS majority. I haven’t seen that one attempted in a while. What’s the reason for being intentionally dishonest there?
