Screw Idiocracy. People reference it not understanding there were positives in the negatives. This is “Don’t Look Up”, that nailed our current corrupt leadership and techno-corporate lunacy, as well as ignoring what is right in front of us because shiny things are more interesting.

One could say he has been and more, given the state of things. Just a tariff/tax would be bad, but he’s hunting citizens.

At this point any pee-involving evidence is minor compared to the rest.

Blame Microsoft sure, but where this ignorance of LLMs’ faults keeps coming from is baffling. Either the CTO and CIO and the rest of the IT departments are idiots, or someone is grabbing their bonuses while they can before things break.

Good analogy by using cars. You can test drive a car. Since a lot (all?) distros have a way to run off a USB, so you can get the general “feel” of it. Then you can go from there. Or if you have room to work with, setting up dual boot isn’t that hard (outside of how Windows acts sometimes about it). Asking a lot of people what flavor ice cream they prefer isn’t going to help you decide your own.

The book that came with the C-64 was a good primer for first-time computer users, but I ended up needing more and bought the “Commodore 64 Programmer’s Reference Guide,” which was far more useful, and then “Mapping the Commodore 64” and “Machine Language for Beginners.”

Yes, I still have them. You never know… :D

Art of the kill

Thanks for clarifying what your definition is. Pretty much includes any form of government throughout history. Is this an anarchist’s pov?

If you’re going to try to narrow the definition that way, then most countries are fascists. Why don’t you visit the Wikipedia page on fascism and help them simplify what they classify as a very complex definition.

Which would make it far worse. Lower than WWII Nazis.

America wasn’t fascist then. I don’t think it is now (yet), but the leadership in power sure is.

Copying an old Waterfox logo. They really are going downhill.

CEO proves that CEOs can be replaced by AI.

Punching a nazi in the crowded streets so much better than in the alley. Tell them we don’t want them here, period.

“This is cyberterrorism.” Letting those sites do their thing without cracking down on them… I agree.

The rhetoric, absolutely. The difference is that this idiot has a big, loaded gun that works.

Totally not a threat on on the life of another country’s official. Nope.

We need like a united nations organization to help push back on the aggressor. Like a league of nations or something.

Windows 10 was the last Windows I’ll use. Windows 7 was the last one I was happy with. Windows 98SE and XP, we had great times, didn’t we? Miss you guys.

Kokoro was the one I was going to mention. I played around with it a bit, was very impressed with the speed and quality. And then I realized I had been using it in CPU mode. GPU is incredible.

I’m considering it. The only reason being to get away from a corporate stance that could shift at any time, even though I don’t think it’s quite there yet.

However on issue of Firefox going the way of all the other browsers, I swear that the last update or so of Firefox asked me if I wanted to enable AI, I said no, and it told me how to turn it on if I ever wanted it. Much like when I first used DuckDuckGo. So wasn’t that opt in? Did it change how it prompts a new user?
