if you capitulate to the unreasonable demands of a violent minority, then you are encouraging more of that behavior. throwing a certain class of people under the bus in the name of money/fear is wrong on pretty much every level and i think your justification for it is cowardly.

just to reiterate: you are a coward, and you should feel bad about it. i have no respect for people with so little principles. you disgust me on a level that is beyond words. i do not care to have any more of a conversation, i just want you to know that you’re a baby bitch.

dunno, if it does, then yay?

popOS just because they have an installer that includes nvidia drivers out of the box.

i agree with the first part

you know, good for her, i guess, but i absolutely fucking hate that they just paint this picture of her like a normal, well adjusted person who happened to get involved in some Weird Shit, because she had to have ignored or dismissed a LOT of red flags to get to where she was.

i’m glad she finally did her due diligence, but i don’t think she deserves a glossy write up about how she did a little oopsy fucky wucky that may have made many children’s lives measurably worse.

same, i also abuse free trials pretty hard.

(virtual credit cards and visa gift cards with little to no money on them work great)

i’m going to snap and i’m going to

jesus christ you should be shoved into a locker

hmm, this is sort of helpful.

this is pretty much what i think, yeah.

a lot of programming/software design is already kinda that anyway. it’s a bunch of people who were educated on computer science principles, data structures, mathematicians, and data analytics/stats who write code to specs to solve very specific tool problems for very specific subsets of workers, and who maintain/update legacy code written decades ago.

now, yeah, a lot things are coded from scratch, but even then, you’re referencing libraries of code written by someone awhile ago to solve this problem or serve this purpose or do thing, output thing. that’s where LLMs shine, imo.

i didn’t downvote you, regardless internet points don’t matter.

you’re not wrong, and i largely agree with what you’ve said, because i didn’t actually say a lot of the things your comment assumes.

the most efficient way i can describe what i mean is this:

LLMs (this is NOT AI) can, and will, replace more and more of us. however, there will never, ever be a time where there will be no human overseeing it because we design software for humans (generally), not for machines. this requires integral human knowledge, assumptions, intuition, etc.

exactly, this will eliminate some jobs, but anyone who’s asked an LLM to fix code longer than 400 lines knows it often hurts more than it helps.

which is why it is best used as a tool to debug code, or write boilerplate functions.

this rules, thank you!!

would a factory reset destroy any driver/codec updates, or are those a firmware based changes that wouldn’t be overwritten?

trans people and our allies are fighting; that’s why the christian theocrats are freaking out and using us as the threat of the day to drum up their stupid, ignorant base.

the blame does not squarely lie in complacency

what a save!
what a save! what a save!

i hate microtransactions, but as they go, this implementation is fairly benign.

i was banned for similar reasons.

seems like a lot of mods just have the ability to say whatever about whoever and the admins just nuke any account they target.

hell yea.

i’m about to install GNOME on my old Surface Pro 4 since W10 EOL is next year. first time i looked into linux in a long time and GNOME is gorgeous.
