Biden turns to family on his path forward after his disastrous debate: 'It's a mess'
  • Why do you keep pointing out these Marxist countries and ignoring the perfectly functioning western liberal democracies with policies like these? There's literally one on our northern border.

  • Biden turns to family on his path forward after his disastrous debate: 'It's a mess'
  • Why do you keep pointing out these Marxist countries and keep ignoring the western liberal democracies which are functioning fine with it?

  • Ohio Republicans force through anti-trans bathroom ban at last minute
  • mathematical part of my brain

    There's no such thing. It's just a gooey mass of billions of randomly firing neurons that can coalesce into patterns of signals and "brute force" answers to math problems. We are not logic machines with well defined mechanisms of functionality like a computer. We just fake it very well. That's why we can make mistakes. A well built computer does not make mistakes.

  • Bill Gates says not to worry about AI's energy draw
  • I mean, directly manufacturing nutrients from raw chemicals is probably more efficient than going through other middleman lifeforms first.

  • Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising
  • For what, may I ask? Can you give an example? I'm on Debian, arguably a less friendly distro than most, but I haven't had to touch the terminal in two weeks. And it was just to ping a server somewhere, something you need to do on the command line in Windows as well.

  • People doing the 30 days linux Challenge are having several problems because of Mint's old packages and technology. Why people still recommend it when there is Fedora and Opensuse with KDE and Gnome?
  • It doesn't just cost FPS. It straight up breaks some games that run fine on other distros.

    Does it still have that feature that kills and restarts cinnamon when memory leaks start getting to be too much? I honestly had to laugh at that when that was introduced.

  • I just realized all my teachers use ubuntu
  • It's probably like the US military and their missile silos still using floppy disks. Better to keep a time-tested and very familiar system running a critical operation than a new one with a bunch of unknowns. Or like when you go to the bank, and the screen the teller is looking at is just a front end going through a dozen different layers with COBOL code written by long dead or retired people on a mainframe at the other end.

    Us end users with very low risk can afford to continuously live on the bleeding edge.

  • BINGO! I got troll buzzword Bingo! Are we playing with the free space rule?

  • "You are just proving that gender is socially constructed": Drag queen slams Marjorie Taylor Greene
  • It's just a general quality of the political far right the world over. They don't like people that don't act, look, or think like them. Anything that challenges their beliefs about what a person is supposed to do is something to fight against for them.

    When it goes to the extreme, you get Nazis.

  • Music industry giants allege mass copyright violation by AI firms
  • They're usually always propping up their whole operation on a series of open source wooden carts they picked up off the Internet. Those carts are the foundation that makes everything work.

    As we saw a couple months ago, a core part of how Internet security works had a giant hole in it, and it was all because one dude had some kind of mental breakdown and handed off development to an attacker.

  • Microsoft employee accidentally publishes PlayReady code
  • I can imagine what they felt like. Like when you accidentally hit "reply all" and send a porn link that was in your clipboard to your entire company while you meant to paste something else.

  • CATL battery successfully powers electric plane with 1,800-mile civil aircraft expected
  • And, no more tedious fuel calculations, just charge it all the way up, it doesn't add any extra weight to do so.

  • China is attempting to mirror the entire GitHub over to their own servers, users report
  • while (tianamen_square.exists()) { for (size_t WinnieThePooh = 0; WinnieThePooh < uyhurs.num_oppressed(); WinnieThePooh++; ) { cout << "Fuck the CCP"; } }

  • China is attempting to mirror the entire GitHub over to their own servers, users report
  • I've seen what's inside the speed controllers and battery monitoring circuitry for Chinese EVs. I don't think I want to be anywhere near them.

  • Music industry giants allege mass copyright violation by AI firms
  • How do you feel about other tech-based tools making an artists life easier, like sequencers, VSTs, DAWs, and the like? I see it as maybe another tool to use.
