They painted their cars pink and covered them with pro-LGBT text, then drove through rural Alabama. So yeah, they got followed for a bit.

Holy fuck, British Morning Show Guest absolutely slammed him. Has anyone heard Vietnamese Street Food Vendor’s take?

LLMs will never be people. Computers might be, one day in the very distant future. But literally every piece of the current AI hype train is just hype. LLMs could, maybe, at best, be a single piece of a much larger puzzle for bringing consciousness into being. But the “Just Add More Compute Bro!” mantra is just tech bros doing their market hype thing. It has as much chance of giving rise to consciousness as my PC has whenever I add another hard drive.

Idk, zombies would have a lot of space to pile up around the struts, and that structure looks way easier to pull down than a normal foundation

I am a creature that is only capable of learning by fire. Just start the game and let me make the dumbest mistakes possible as long as they’re within the rules, and I’ll probably figure it out eventually!

I mean, sure, but it is people’s natural tendency. As long as there are systems in place for people to migrate services it’s not such a big deal. If someone asks me what social media I use, I say Piefed. If they asked me for a link, I’d link them my instance. But if someone were coming in totally cold and just needed to pick one, I wouldn’t fault them for defaulting to The Big One. I’d certainly prefer they do that over staying on Facebook or whatever.

And that’s more of a federation problem anyway, in the case of operating systems it’s not as big a problem for all the noobs to be using the same one.

The mistake here is not just picking. This is why most people who make the switch just go for the big one. lemmy.world, piefed.social, mastodon.social.

You’re gonna have to pick. Pick a username, pick a password, pick a browser, pick between fuckin Amazon or Alibaba, idk. Using windows is also a choice. But yeah I say just use mint and move on to the next one :)

Genuinely not sure what your implication is here. Readings I see include “Bill Clinton obviously wouldn’t be discredited,” “Bill Clinton is obviously a Democrat and also obviously a pedophile,” or maybe “Bill Clinton may be in the files, but he’s not exactly a leftist so who cares?”

The key with store bought pancake batter is that it does not have to be only for pancakes. I am definitely a make-it-from-scratch guy but whatever works for whoever is buying it!

Also. This is not medical advice. But store bought batter can be very nice and easy for deep frying things. Corn dogs, gringo churros, that kinda thing ;)

Also most pancake mixes can (should?) still be elevated by adding vanilla and/or an egg

Shake it three times You’re playing with yourself again

This is propaganda from people who want you to have piss stains, shake it shake it shake it!

There used to be a bot that would link to some YouTube frontend whenever a link got posted, but it almost never worked and even when it did it got downvoted constantly

Just make sure he never meets Moonpaw. EVER.

Man I wish our government was less pious and more pius

Now, of course, if you just give money away, that’s no good at improving people’s lives

Actually, no, I’m pretty sure there have been many studies that show that literally just giving poor people money is all it takes. This is the first one I found after 15 seconds of searching; I think you are really underestimating how difficult it is for poor people to just get necessities, or how difficult it is to get out of debt traps.

I see where you’re coming from. Drug addicts, gambling addicts, etc, may not be the best demographics to just give money to. But that is not most poor people. It’s a tiny fraction! Literally all we need is wealth distribution, with no need to overcomplicate things. It might not be perfect, but it would be magnitudes better than what we have now.

Edit, to be clear, I’m not saying we shouldn’t fund hospitals and schools and whatnot. But it’s simply not true that giving money away isn’t effective.

I mean, it’s a AAA game. I’m sure that was the plan, and then it was lost in the eternal crunch to meet the launch date.

There’s a reason AAA games all have that same shitty stank, and it’s not because the companies making them don’t have access to talented people.

Oh, I didn’t realize how unclear that was. The disk is a 2TB NVME SSD. I searched and searched, even booted into Mint on another disk and tried to search from there, and could only find a few hundred GB worth of files (probably about 600GB if I had to guess, lol). I genuinely have no idea what could have been taking up nearly 1.4TB of space, so that’s all I meant when I said “only.”

My suspicion is that something was going wrong whenever I deleted anything. Maybe for some reason the data just weren’t going anywhere, even though the trash was empty and they were no longer showing up in their old locations. Hence the term “clogged.” No similar issues with Cachy just yet, though.

Star Wars Battlefront!

They also edited a bunch of the stuff within the original shots. I know someone who worked on it and they were showing me some of the artifacting; the short extras in particular have had their faces absolutely destroyed, and it even added a few that weren’t there before. It’s very funny to me that they upscaled it for the Sphere, but you are ABSOLUTELY NOT meant to look directly at anything that got inserted.

I know, I just like to see the “up to date” symbol in the toolbar, especially on a fresh install. Like I said, I get that it’s rolling release; the problem isn’t the frequency of updates, it’s that this most recent update keeps failing when I try to install it.

I just switched from Bazzite to Cachy today. For some reason my disk space got… clogged, with Bazzite? Filelight was no help so I backed everything up, wiped the disk, installed Cachy, replaced my files, and the disk went from being nearly full to only using 600GB. Still not sure what happened there.

Cachy, meanwhile, has asked me to update 4 times in the 4 hours I’ve been using it. Which is fine, I get that Arch is rolling release, but now on the 4th update it keep failing for some reason. Also I can’t have my headphones and speakers plugged in at the same time or my speakers don’t work.

Sigh. All this KDE stuff is nice and flashy, and my games have worked with both Bazzite and Cachy, so I appreciate that, but damn is it tough for me to make a Linux recommendation to anyone else that isn’t just “use Mint, it’s stable.” Anything more in depth turns into a mini essay (see above!)
