I imagine it makes beeping noises and displays a blip on a radar display like the proximity devices in alien movies. Shudders.

Amazing how much shit an unremarkable pseudo distro can stir up. Deservedly. Techbros like DHH are a cancer.

I’m using it for a few months now. Coming from Kubuntu, I noticed that everything seems much faster/more responsive.Love it. Its not a pure gaming distro though. It’s arch-based, but with easy install and configuration, you have access to the whole Arch repo.

And of course as a bonus I can now unironically say "I use arch by the way*

There’s a conflict of interests in there. Nvidia is heavily tied to OpenAI, Anthropic and the US government. The mostly chinese models hosted on huggingface are direct competitors and viewed as enemy tech by the US government.This is going to be a massive shitshow. Probably starts with banning de-censored versions of the models from the platform.

Care to explain? Sounds interesting, my last impression was that SK was a society with massive competitive pressure in education and career. What happened?

He did his part in killing around 600k real people through DOGE (defunding of USAID and other) measures. We’re way past these funny little jokes.

My bet is on exactly that being the plan. Stocks go down, tech companies pay to bribe him, next Tuesday a reversal of tariff plans, stocks go up, rich people make more money. Rinse, repeat

Well, like you said that’s basically the corporations fault. They push “AI” everywhere and AI in the media is 100% LLMs and other GenAI. I wouldn’t blame the public for not knowing the difference. Those data centers aren’t built to cure cancer, but to cause it. Figuratively and literally.

LLMs don’t cure cancer. That’s the kind of AI everyone refers to these days. Not ML projects.

Most of the cheap IOT crap is still insecure, requires a signin and a cloud connection to spy on you and steal your data. Of course there are options to secure the devices (always have been) but for the nontechnical person this is out of reach, not only because doing that requires knowledge but also bc most people don’t even know about these issues or care about their privacy.

Some German bakeries have excessively stupid names for their products too, though. I always refuse to say the name but point to the product in question. The usual answer is “Oh, you want one of the [silly-gibberish-name-of-an-overpriced-thing-that-tastes-like-sawdust-anyways]” - I nod, and that’s a successful transaction done.

Lass ma lieber bis nach der Bundestagswahl warten

Damn, you’re right. I fell for it this time.

The mechanism is almost elegant in how it works against you

Yeah, this or plain fraud. Bending the rules to be included early in index funds like the spaceX case or not enforcing the rules in case of Tesla/S&P500 is what allows fraud to happen. Circular investments pumping up the numbers too. But let’s just pretend everything is fine until it’s too late

Would be an OK salary for most of Europe. Most countries here have relatively solid health care insurance, affordable education and a pension fund included, so that some of the biggest costs of living in the US don’t even make a dent in the salary.

YouTube paid by the time people actually watched the videos in the past (as far as I know this changed recently) so there was a real incentive for Youtubers to add a lot of worthless filler to the videos

Quite ironic considering how hard Microslop is pushing AI. Now the self inflicted ram shortage kills their bloated bullshit features.

yw, also subscribing to the people providing good content should help too. Most of my feed is from subscriptions, with related content inbetween

I’m not encouraging you to use YouTube, but if you do, marking stuff you aren’t interested in and removing every slop video from your watch history can help a lot. The YouTube algorithm very rarely recommends slop to me

The situation is a bit different in Germany though, because there isn’t just one “conservative” party. It won’t help the CDU (Chancellor Merz’s party) to cozy up to fascist positions because people then will just vote for the original fascists instead (Afd Party) and they will lose their power. There are some studies proving that this strategy does not give them more votes. So this will fail - unless they are willing to form a coalition with the Afd which will alienate them from the non-fascist portion of their voters (which do exist - they are a large faction among traditional CDU voters)
