I never spent enough time on YouTube for it to develop its algorithm for me. I watch like 2 videos a week maybe, usually searching for something specific, and most of the recs for me have always been obscure clickbait I’m not interested in seeing

I see no problem with this, what with all the recommended slop

Asus

Yeah I was passed the return date and a state away when I caught the issue

Sweet, thanks! I haven’t settled on a distro yet, but from what I’ve seen this is something Asus does to kneecap as much of the community as they can

Asus Q533M. I found a user patch on stack but it was for older models. Tried to update it myself and run a rebuild, but I might have missed a step since it errored out

Right? It’s some firmware level issue, but I haven’t looked deeper into it recently because I got frustrated with a couple failed patch attempts. I guess you have to include the laptop model explicitly or it doesn’t know to look for it

I screwed up so bad. I bought a laptop to trial different Linux distros and also because my old one is 12yo now and has its own problems. However, the manufacturer ONLY provides Windows support drivers, so the keyboard won’t work without a kernel level patch and I am not a kernel-patch level guy yet

👍

It’s state-controlled propaganda. If you find you tend to agree with the opinion and slant pieces, you should vary your sources to see what they’re not reporting.

I have never been able to figure out how to block fingerprinting without entirely disabling my browser and it looks like the race to the bottom is accelerating

This seems like a great place to plug Feynman’s talk Los Alamos From Below

My old job force migrated everyone to Okta the week it got breached

I had a TA for my quantum class tell us, “Look, I know you’re all working together or sharing homework. But I’ll see who knows the material when I grade your exams.”

Great game, but I ruined it for myself when I found a consistent high-gear bandit spawn and cheesed myself into a 30k groshen account balance

Should we be so lucky. I wonder how long people will identify as “middle class”

“Mongo DB is Web scale”

We’re living through the return of the robber barons. This time, however, they can implant their thoughts directly into every single person’s hands at any instant. That’s why your point is the most salient, most important, and most downplayed

This isn’t a proof, it’s just a string of words approximating pathos

I got a Mozilla plug-in just to block Data Annotation Tech because they have a thousand jobs listed under different names for what is essentially the same AI training job. Super sketchy and they only pay through PayPal
