Considering how 4chan is, a more likely outcome is that you’re getting called at least 3 different slurs because someone will either hate the slop, or perceive your insecurity about being unable to do art and decide to attack you.

I’ve only remember ever having audio dissappear during the really early Ubuntu days (We are talking like version 7 or 8). Now if you told me Linux has issues with audio crackling due to apps requesting absurd audio parameters, then yeah, that was a more recent and persistent issue that only recently seems to have gone away.

If we are going to choose a technological solution then making autonomous emergency braking and electronically speed-limited cars mandatory would actually help more.

Mine has nearly everything other than brand preferences wrong, since I buy both my stuff and other people’s stuff plus gifts through the same account.

My (soon to be ex) bank recently decided to make everyone use their ID card number which can be obtained from many sources and does not change, a username with symbols and numbers and minimal length requirements which cannot be changed and a 4 digit pin code. No 2FA at all, so its only saving grace is that you get locked out at 3 tries.

I’m guessing they are trying to align everything to their legacy ATM pin code system instead of making the ATM system better.

I have no issue with spiders, but now that a small lizard took residence somewhere in the house there’s almost none left. And also no other insects as well.

All Android devices are Linux, it just happens to be the worst kind of Linux possible: one that entirely depends on proprietary drivers and is controlled by a company hellbent on closing it down through total dependence on their services.

Yeah, I’m waiting for the same thing, and even if they cut off their services, so long as the phone can be degoogled and replacements installed I wouldn’t really care.

Banking apps could be the only problem I foresee, but then I guess I’ll just go back to debit and credit cards.

Also, if someone releases a working Linux phone with some extra polish that has actual global distribution that would also be a good option for me.

Learning to build both automated and fiber operated 3D printed drones is probably a better use of your time. And learning some fun chemistry and electronics.

What exactly is it that you heard about the Pleroma devs? As far as I’ve seen the only people who seem to have something against them always vague post and never specify what is it that bothers them.

You also get the same issue with trans men. We a had a local case where a trans man was convicted of a crime, and the local authorities decided to send him to a male prison, respecting his self-identification. He proceeded to immediatly challenge this through the courts for obvious reasons.

In this situation, it’s impossible to escape the drawbacks of your biology so long as prisons assume a dichotomy. And the vast majority of the population considers any criminal to be subhuman anyway, so asking them to acommodate a sub-percentage of what is already a tiny 0.1% of the population is impossible. They would sooner vote to just execute them to save themselves the hassle and expense.

The older you get the easier it gets to abandon all streaming services to be honest.

Every high production value movie is a cliche you can guess 5 minutes in. And the few outliers get so much publicity you will probably hear about them anyway and be able to get a copy through other means.

I guess it’s also why apparently CD sales have been picking up. Easier to just rip your favorite music and listen to/stream your own collection than deal with a mess of different services.

Both the Omarchy shilling and these attempts at smearing a lot of people with the least charitable interpretation possible of their words and actions feel incredibly artificial, so I’m going to do what is best for me and ignore both.

In the Chinese Room scenario, cards with Chinese written on them are inserted into a box.

Inside there is a man who doesn’t understand Chinese but has a lookup list of which symbols to write as a response to every possible sentence you can write on the inserted card.

For anyone observing from outside the box it looks as if whatever is in the box is fluent in Chinese and can hold a conversation. But the man inside does not understand anything about Chinese.

This is used as an analogy to explain that machines, very much like the man in the box, do not actually understand the data they are fed, nor the data they output, no matter how human the response might seem.

It was an argument against the Turing test, which is about whether machines showing behaviour indistinguishable from a human is a sign that they can think.

The Chinese Room argument is that they must also show understanding of the data itself, rather than just human-like responses, to say that they think.

The problem is that they see people hating the torment nexus and then they assume it must be because they didn’t market it correctly.

Like "oh I guess they don’t like it because they can’t share it, let’s add a suffering multiplexer so they can enjoy it with friends and family^*

I’m so glad I never gave any serious amount of money to Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo.

Or the Steam Deck/all the handhelds that support Linux/SteamOS

It’s yet another distro being shilled by god knows who on YouTube and other social media.

The fact that it’s being pushed so hard without anything of note about it is already suspicious to me.
