Yeah they tricked people into believing that Apple added something that allowed users to charge their phones by microwaving them

It’s always the people that don’t have a clue.

It’s also always the people that think they’ll get some benefit out of AI taking over. When they’re absolutely part of the group that’ll be replaced by AI.

Fuckin’ Melvin

I slapped a picture of a chart into Gemini because I didn’t know what the type of chart was called but I wanted to mention it in a Uni report. I was too lazy to go looking at chart types and thought that would be quicker.

I just asked it “What kind of chart is this” and it ignored that and started analysing the chart instead and started stating what the chart was about and giving insights into the chart. Didn’t tell me what kind of chart it was even though that was the only thing I asked.

Bear in mind that I deliberately cropped out any context to avoid it trying to do that, just in case, so all I got from it was pure hallucinations. It was just making pure shit up that I didn’t ask for.

I switched to the reasoning model and asked again, then it gave me the info I wanted.

Just like I S L A M M E D my penis in the car door.

Good for you. Shame that doesn’t change anything I said though.

The owners are still supporting Tesla regardless of if their money is going to them directly or not. Money wouldn’t be going to Tesla if it weren’t for people buying them. It’s not just the money though, having more Tesla’s on the road drives attention to them. Makes them more desirable because of the “Well everyone is getting one” effect. That sort of thing.

There’s more than just money when it comes to supporting something.

Fuck the Tesla owners feelings. Make that shit as radioactive as possible so no one wants anything to do with Teslas. If people get upset over it then oh well.

I’m pretty sure these protests are dissuading potential buyers though. If people are willing to kick up this much of a stink then surely there’s something wrong. A protest is how you really get the message out because you can’t really ignore something like what’s been going on. It’s right in your face.

The only people that aren’t going to be dissuaded are people that wouldn’t be dissuaded anyway (A lost cause if you will) protest or a shitty Infograph that can easily be ignored or glossed over.

I am aware if how many complete wankers there are out there that go unnoticed. You can’t help supporting them since they’re good at hiding their BS.

But the difference is that Elon is a known wanker therefore you can avoid supporting him but not buying into his shit. It’s not like he’s selling something you can’t get elsewhere.

The sad thing is that people will see this and still try to find a way to keep using chrome instead of just moving to a browser that actually respects them.

It’s still supporting a complete wanker regardless of what you had in mind.

While that is possible. You do have to go out of your way to do that in ways a typical user wouldn’t.

Aside from that like others have said. Just don’t give sudo perms and have them use Flatpak.

PTDE can be played above 60 through DSFix with minor physics bugs.

Remastered cant as all the logic is tied to the fps.

Similarly, AMD had a couple of anime girl mascots for Zen/Ryzen.

A lot of people are really good at justifying the problems by completely missing the point as well. i.e people going “Oh you can just disable/hide/remove xyz” when the issue is that xyz shouldn’t be there at all or be opt in, rather than opt out.

Then there’s the people that listen to these justifications without a second thought or even parroting them, giving them extra legitimacy to other people that come across these takes.

You don’t know me!

Most people that complain about GIMP don’t actually know that.

Got to love it when people think they’re making a statement when they’re really just exposing themselves.

Merging layers? There’s a button on the layer window that does just that. You can also right click -> merge.

Exporting PNGs? File -> Export -> File Type at bottom of the window -> PNG

Not that hard unless you’re somehow incredibly inept.

1. Not really a lot of cases. It only appears that way because the terminal is just efficient so people generally tend to use it over the alternative. Very rarely, if at all, would the average user need to use the terminal at this point. Assuming the end user isn’t using a more advanced distro like Arch or Gentoo.

2. There’s plenty of ways to achieve that. It largely depends on the desktop env. But the most common ones make it very easy. Though their settings.

3. Sounds like the end users problem more than Linux’s problem. They don’t have to use the terminal. But a lot of FUD around the subject makes it out like there’s a requirement to use it.

4. How common is this issue? Package managers handle dependencies automatically so you don’t have issues with needing to install X to install Y to install Z. You just install Z. X and Y are pulled in automatically.

5. Again that’s the end users issue if they’re incapable of figuring out how to search their issue or how to decide which source is useful to them or not. Installing MC is painfully easy on just about any distro. Just install prism launcher. Every distro should be able to run Minecraft because the game is written in Java. Java’s whole thing is that its code is portable/not platform specific.

6. Yeah that’s an issue. It should be better than it is. But it’s also not too hard to handle.

Read about half the article before getting tired of it. This is just complaining about people while doing the same thing but instead of “Old good, new bad” its “Old bad, new good”.

Just kind of contrarianism under a very thick layer of edge.
