Yeah, you’re right, but wielding this power effectively requires thinking beyond the current fiscal quarter.

Also, small nit (because the essence of what you’re saying is absolutely correct), but…ain’t nobody trying to rip off Teslas. They’re absolute garbage, literal dumpster in the case of the cybertruck. Chinese EVs on the market today are already cheaper and better.

That said, from Elon’s perspective I’m pretty sure this is more about training LLMs on presently copy-written material, unhindered by IP protections.

I love tesler, everything’s computer!

Scratch beneath the surface and you’ll find unscrupulous greed here as well.

dropsite is some of the best independent journalism available in the US. They break massive news stories all the time, things you’d never see from the corporate news narrative. One of the last vestiges of real journalism in the west. Highly credible.

Hey that’s pretty cool, I happen to be on x11 still but plan to switch to Wayland once Cosmic is in beta.

This is great info, will look into this further. Ty!

Illegitimate wars fought for oil in Iraq and Afghanistan, with civilian casualties in the 100s of thousands. Let Russia take Crimea, arguably the initial precursor to today’s war in Ukraine, even though we promised them protection in exchange for giving up their nukes. Extra-judicial killing of American citizen via drone strike. He was peak lib and gave corpos everything they wanted and more, so of course the corpo media won’t point any of this out. Doesn’t change the fact that he committed grave crimes against humanity and our own citizens.

Would I rather have him back today instead of the orange dotard? Yeah. Doesn’t mean he was a good guy though, or good for Americans in general.

Yeah I’m aware of openrgb, it has limited compatibility but seems to work ok for most of my stuff. Still haven’t found a great way to run my favorite corsair keyboard reactive lighting theme I had setup with their software in windows, but what I came up with in openrgb is good enough.

However, I didn’t think it was possible to run autoIt or autoHotkey at all in Linux. Are you suggesting a Python script to replace it, or something else? AHK has a very peculiar syntax which I don’t believe would translate well to other languages.

I figured the big crypto scheme would be to back social security with it (thereby killing the program after the customary pump and dump). This is actually even more terrifying. Hopefully we’re both wrong.

Journalists will have to point out the intentionality on this eventually.

American journalists working for multinational corporate media are literally paid to make viewers believe otherwise (gaslight them). So, I would not count on this at all.

Switch to Linux. As a big-time gamer, I did it last year and it’s been fantastic. Only issue is if you main games with root kit anticheat…but with enough momentum in Linux direction, game studios will be forced to abandon those dubious detection methods anyway.

For gaming, It’s mostly niche windows things in my experience. In my case I opted to stay on linux anyway. Also worth noting, I find that outside of gaming linux is superior for work and general pc use.

Some manufacturer programs for doing things like mouse macros or controlling LED lighting, auto hotkey scripts, some types of overlays tied to directx apis (yolomouse), etc. These things don’t and probably will never work. I think some of them might if you really know your stuff with wine, but that usually ends up being dependency hell for me and I give up more often than succeeding when trying to force a windows native program to run.

It’s windows users were talking about here, data security is not exactly top of mind. But maybe many of them are about to find out it should be…

I’m not sure how I will make room in my life for anything else.

That’s the neat part - you don’t!

Really admire your optimism here, but I’m far too cynical on Dems to think this can work without a whole new party to replace them. The Democrat brand is so incredibly tarnished by corruption and disingenuousness.

While you’re right that the DNC chair does hold a lot of power in the party, I struggle to recall a single instance in my lifetime when any dem held real power and leveraged it effectively to benefit the working class.

Get ready for “we had to pass the $6T in tax cuts for the rich and corporations, simply nothing we could do!” 🤑

It is imminent.

They are robbing us absolutely blind here, and using the tariff chaos as cover.

All this detail points to one obvious conclusion: some people are just destined to have their PII harvested on Windows. Good luck little buddy!

I would care if someone was rude or unqualified on an issue

Would you? Your tone reads as fairly rude in this post, and your qualifications seem quite lacking if you don’t even comprehend the dire environmental impact and obvious drawbacks of the vast majority of contemporary AI big compute. For that matter, most llm outputs are not deterministic, especially with certain configurations eg high temperature, etc, so I don’t even follow your contrived example here. Consider that Cyanobacteria are unaware of their environmental impact - humans are not so ignorant, unless they choose to be.

Girl, get yourself a nice pair of stomping boots and go to town!

Beyond that, know the law and know your rights. They can make noises, it sucks that you can hear them but maybe figure out a new apartment to work towards and move again once you save up if you have to. If there’s a noise ordinance in your town you can record them violating it during quiet hours if that happens. They can’t threaten you physically or verbally, if that happens tell the cops and then inform management.

reading is hard isn’t it sweetie

Unironically yes. The plan is deport all the browns, and replace them in the workforce with children only educated enough to operate the machinery on the factory floor. Funnel all money and resources to the capital owners. And that’s it.
