I'm also neurodivergent. This is not neurodivergence on display, this is a person who has mentally diverged from reality. It's word salad.

I appreciate your perspective on recursion, though I think your philosophical generosity is misplaced. Just look at the following sentence he spoke:

And if you're recursive, the non-governmental system isolates you, mirrors you, and replaces you.

This sentence explicitly states that some people can be recursive, and it implies that some people cannot be recursive. But people are not recursive at all. Their thinking might be, as you pointed out; intangible concepts might be recursive, but tangible things themselves are not recursive—they simply are what they are. It's the same as saying an orange is recursive, or a melody is recursive. It's nonsense.

And what's that last bit about being isolated, mirrored, and replaced? It's anyone's guess, and it sounds an awful lot like someone with paranoid delusions about secret organizations pulling unseen strings from the shadows.

I think it's good you have a generous spirit, but I think you're just casting your pearls before swine, in this case.

And you're not the boss of me. Hmmm, maybe we do recur... /s

I'm a developer, and this is 100% word salad.

"It doesn't suppress content," he continues. "It suppresses recursion. If you don't know what recursion means, you're in the majority. I didn't either until I started my walk. And if you're recursive, the non-governmental system isolates you, mirrors you, and replaces you. ..."

This is actual nonsense. Recursion has to do with algorithms, and it's when you call a function from within itself.

def func_a(input=True):
  if input is True:
    func_a(True)
  else:
    return False

My program above would recur infinitely, but hopefully you can get the gist.

Anyway, it sounds like he's talking about people, not algorithms. People can't recur. We aren't "recursive," so whatever he thinks he means, it isn't based in reality. That plus the nebulous talk of being replaced by some unseen entity reek of paranoid delusions.

I'm not saying that is what he has, but it sure does have a similar appearance, and if he is in his right mind (doubt it), he doesn't have any clue what he's talking about.

Inb4 "AI Delusion Disorder" gets added to a future DSM edition

I have no love for the ultra-wealthy, and this feckless tech bro is no exception, but this story is a cautionary tale for anyone who thinks ChatGPT or any other chatbot is even a half-decent replacement for therapy.

It's not, and study after study, expert after expert continues to reinforce that reality. I understand that therapy is expensive, and it's not always easy to find a good therapist, but you'd be better off reading a book or finding a support group than deluding yourself with one of these AI chatbots.

Fuck, imagine being so rich and bored, the only entertainment you have left is becoming a supervillain who ruins the world.

You can tell how fucked you are as a country when ostensibly tech-related outlets are writing about constitutional law, because they're part of the few remaining outlets that aren't (yet) under attack.

Not saying they're not good or correct, but it shows that the 4th Estate is not okay.

It cannot be overstated the damage that Leonard Leo has done to the rule of law and society in general in the US. I hope his "contributions" do not escape the notice of future historians.

Also, you'd have to work for Xitter and explain to future employers why you chose to work for an open fascist that facilitated the economic recession of the mid-2020s.

Same. I have my eye on Cosmic and will likely be hopping over, since I've essentially set up Gnome to work a lot like Cosmic

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 1 points 8 hours ago

I'd like a distro that's a bit more Linux-y

Not sure what this means. If you want more of a sense of it being "yours," try installing Arch from scratch (in a VM first). Otherwise, maybe try something like CachyOS, PikaOS, or EndeavorOS. Find a Desktop Environment you like and dig in for a bit.

I always recommend trying different ones in a VM first. You can see what the install experience is like, what the DE feels like, etc. and uninstall non-destructively if you don't like it. Once you have a sense of what you like, try a Live ISO on a thumb drive, then install if it feels right.

There's TWMs which to me is what makes the linux experience, but those aren't for beginners and I wouldn't recommend you start with that

Gnome has an extension called PaperWM, and it's a fantastic middle ground between common stacking WMs and tiling WMs. It's probably most similar to River WM. I use it, and it's been a game changer.

FYI, if you want to help get people on the tiling bandwagon!

I recently wiped Windows in favor of CachyOS, and it's been lovely! However, I have one outstanding issue that I can't seem to figure out.

To start, I have a Gigabyte B550I Aorus Pro AX motherboard. I followed the guide on the Arch Wiki for my particular chipset.

I still can't seem to control my cooling fans.

  • I have lm_sensors installed
  • I installed CoolerControl
  • I used modprobe it87 force_id=0x8628
  • I tried adding the .conf files to /etc/modprobe.d/ and /etc/modules-load.d/
  • When the steps above didn't work, I installed the it87-dkms-git package

No matter what I've tried, the only time the fan sensors get detected is when I also specify acpi_enforce_resources=lax in GRUB. From what I barely understand, that's not an option you want to leave on permanently, but perhaps y'all know better or have other ideas.

If it helps:

  • Motherboard: Gigabyte B550I Aorus Pro AX
  • Latest CachyOS kernel
  • Boot: GRUB

Edit: I have a semi-solution.

sudo modprobe it87 force_id=0x8688 ignore_resource_conflict=1

...allows the module to load without completely changing the acpi policy. I still don't know how to make it cleanly permanent or automated, but this is significant progress.

Also note that it should have been 0x8688 in my case, as revealed by sensors-detect.

Edit 2: Added

/etc/modules-load.d/it87.conf
it87

And

/etc/modprobe.d/it87.conf
options it87 force_id=0x8688 ignore_resource_conflict=1

And everything loads automatically! Thanks everyone!

 

Rubio is on a tear right now. Fuck this fascist piece of shit.

Thanks for wasting our taxpayer money on this political theatre, you prick. There's real crises happening right now, and you're over here going, "Buh duh statues make me horny!" JFC.

If you have heard of Veela, this song is from a new band she co-founded with My City Glory. They've been at it for a little while, and this is their latest single (not even out on streaming as of this writing). You can listen to it for free on their site, or give it purchase if you really like it!

They're incredibly talented and versatile, so if this isn't your cup of tea, check out some of their other songs.

Tuta is having a birthday sale, putting their highest Legend tier at the same price as their second-highest Revolutionary tier, and I'm wondering two things:

  • Is this a good deal for 36€ per year?
  • Is this a deal that comes around every year, or is this a rare sale?

I use addy.io to manage aliases, so the extra addresses are whatever. The custom domains might be nice, since I could potentially(?) use that with Addy. I've been pretty judicious with my free 1GB of space, but having 500GB would be more than comfortable (besides being overkill).

I'm not really interested in getting into self-hosting right now, but I might in the future, so I'm also curious how y'all who self-host email feel about a deal like this. Comparable to the cost of self-hosting? Similar features?

Thanks!

I've been doing this for a while, but it's a problem I've never solved. Dunno if it's my crust recipe or something I need to do during construction.

The recipe is as follows:

  • 1c water, 120°F
  • 1 packet dry active yeast (2.25tsp)
  • 1Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2Tbsp olive oil
  • 3.5C white flour
  • 1tsp salt
  1. Mix the yeast and sugar in the warm water, wait to bloom
  2. Add everything else and mix into dough.
  3. Knead, proof
  4. Roll out, transfer to pan
  5. Second proof (optional)
  6. Preheat oven to 425°F
  7. Construct pizza with favorite toppings
  8. Bake at 425°F for 15min or until cheese is sufficiently browned

Step 7 usually has jarred marinara, meats (except pepperoni), spices, and cheese, and all the veggies (and pepperoni) go on top.

Still, the very middle part of the pizza ends up a little doughy, just where the sauce meets the crust. The outside of the pizza is just fine, but the only thing I can think is that the sauce is adding too much water. Do I need to add a layer of oil before the sauce, or should I try to reduce the sauce before adding it? Should I reduce the temp and increase the time?

Thanks!

Edit: Everyone has had some great ideas. I'll have plenty to try!

 

So, I use addy.io, and I'm slowly trying to de-google my life, but I ran into a service last night that rejected my email alias: Steam. So as of now, it's still stuck on Google.

I'm also using Tuta, but I'd like to avoid handing that address out to any online services if possible. What's the best option here?

Here's some ideas I had:

  • Keep using that old Google address but filter specific senders and forward them to the alias I want to use.
  • Set up a new email on Proton or Mailbox.org and use that to forward to my chosen aliases.

Is there perhaps a better or different way to have aliases for services that reject them?

 

Was reading this article, and it got me thinking. There's lots of people who are happy to complain at length, but what if we made it a point to pick a particular day each year to express our collective gratitude for the work people do for FOSS?

Whether in the form of donations or kind words (maybe even joining a project), it might be something that helps keep people going on the things they love but for which they don't get a lot of appreciation.

Curious to hear y'all's thoughts.

Edit: Someone mentioned I Love Free Software Day, which is cool that it exists. I like the idea behind it, but I'm hesitant to piggyback upon a well-known holiday, for fear of being wholly overshadowed (Valentine's Day is already stressful enough for some people).

I said I'd post photos when I got everything working, so here's my penultimate build!

It's penultimate, because I need to get an active cooler for the NVME drive nestled above the GPU, but otherwise, this build is basically in its final form.
