Agreed, because for most practical purposes there are only two valid distros in the first place (apt-based and pacman-based)

[–] jray4559 1 points 1 year ago

Possibly.

It depends on how many people are fixing bugs and pentesting.

If it's a lot of people, there won't be much difference. It could be even better if enough free/non-corporate people can help find and fix.

For things that don't get lots of bug hunters and fixers, this could become a real problem. Hopefully not much critical software is in this boat.

Money conquers all.

Overall a good idea. Yeah, there are potential legal issues that could potentially come up if court cases go against the AI gen companies, but that's the bridge that will get crossed if (not necessarily when) it comes to it.

One thing I don't get though is the whole "guardrail" thing on live-gens. There is no system that is 100% preventable from someone getting it to say problematic stuff.

If Anthropic and OpenAI can't screw it down all the way, how can some game company do it? In practice, this'll mean that basically no game will come with a live service AI. This is like tying people saying stuff in voice chat to the company running the multiplayer servers.

Well-intentioned idea, but not gonna actually work.

Assuming you mean ungoogled chromium, as of now, that is currently unknown.

Looks like they are just gonna stall as much as they reasonably can on it. They are a small team, after all, so it wouldn't be impossible to expect them to eventually give up on patching it due to the sheer amount of work it might take.

Promise to phase out fossil fuels removed from a non-binding draft agreement.

Clearly, climate change was actually gonna be solved if they left it in. Whole thing is a giant waste of time like Paris and Copenhagen and everything else before.

In terms of comparing to the rest of society?

Yeah. You are a big loser.

But that's fine. Fuck society, do what makes you personally happy. Life's hard out there and comparing yourself all the time is only gonna make being happy that much harder.

"Comparison is the thief of joy", a wise man once said.

You can't sell EV's because:

1: too expensive to buy new 2: if you live anywhere that's not a big city, or you have a garage, there is basically no electric chargers for you.

The city I live in (~30k people) has 6 chargers total. None of them are superchargers. Wait times are already a sticking point in the best case, nevermind what the wait times would be if everyone where I'm at had an electric car tomorrow. The whole downtown would maybe gridlock just because of people waiting.

For comparison, there are probably 2-300 gas pumps around the city. 5 gas stations within 5 minutes of where I am, all with at least 8 pumps, all well used. People are not going to get EV's unless there is an infrastructure that is equivalent to gas around where they live.

And that infrastructure is not gonna be fun to get going.

The average person living in the city can't really use them with street parking, can't always guarantee a spot after all, and installing a personal one for yourself all but requires a personal garage, which locks out the people who live in poorer housing.

Lots of people in my city and I suspect many others live in trailer parks with low/fixed incomes, having just a simple driveway. Where are they gonna get the thousand or two to install a Level 2 charging station? My mom and dad certainly don't have the money.

Expecting the EV companies to make the infrastructure with the money they get just from selling EV's is gonna turn into one gigantic chicken-and-egg problem. The government is going to have to do it, and anyone who's not living along an interstate can see just how much benefit they are personally getting from it so far.... (hint: none)

Ah yes, the 'ol reliable. Blame MAGA.

Go on ahead, make the acronym completely pointless by blaming as many things as you can on it. Then it can join "Groomer", "Misinformation" and "ACAB" as part of the way, way too long list of things that have been co-opted and hollowed out for political grandstanding. Just wonderful.

  1. Make sure to call out Reddit and pretend they are a worthless ship on the edge of sinking any time you reasonably can, despite the fact that Reddit is not even close to doing so (and also conveniently ignore that 99% of Lemmy's users are people who were once or still are Redditors)
  2. If you are a conservative and dare to speak out your opinion on a political issue, prepare to be downvoted with the wrath of a thousand (brown dwarf) suns.

Porn has done it for dozens of years at this point, and it has just become not only an expectation, but just a thing that gets picked up.
